We have always said, from the words of Novala Takemoto, that lolita fashion is a princess with the soul of a punk. Punk is a prime example of how aesthetic was used to make a political statement in previous decades. Fashion has power because we live our lives in it; it and aesthetic encapsulates us as fish to water. Lolita fashion has always stood against the patriarchy, to make a statement of who we are, despite what society tells us to be. It is time to put our fashion and aesthetic where our mouths are.

hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak
- socks are quieter than bare feet on tile/wood and for the love of god don’t wear slippers/shoes if you can help it
- climbing ON the furniture will disrupt the pattern of your footsteps and make it harder to hear where you are in the house
- crawling will do the same and if you get caught crawling you can pretend you fell
- the floor near the wall can be really loud if the floorboards/carpet is old and not completely flush to the wall
- do NOT attempt to use a rolling chair to travel without footsteps. they are extremely loud and hard to steer
Also. Breath with your mouth and not your nose. Your nose will whistle. Trust me.
If you need to get into your fridge, jab your finger into the rubber part that seals the door closed and create a tiny airway. This will prevent the suction noise when you open the door.
When drinking liquids (juice mostly), pour out your glass (or chug from the jug) and replace what you drank with water. If it was full enough in the beginning, no one will notice. DO NOT STEAL ALCOHOL. THEY WILL NOTICE IF IT’S WATERED DOWN.
Bring a pillowcase for dried foods like cereal and granola. It helps to muffle the sound it makes when it pours.
If your house has snack packs (like gummy bears or crackers or chips), count them every day until you know the rhythm that they get consumed. (This took me a week and a half with my twin brother and sister). Then join the rhythm when you make your nightly visits. It will be that much harder to figure out it was you.
KEEP A TRASH BAG UNDER YOUR BED FOR WRAPPERS AND STUFF BUT DONT FORGET TO THROW IT OUT WHENEVER YOU CAN. BUGS YKNOW.
Hope this helped.
some more generic #abusetips by rae
observe your abuser’s patterns so you can learn how to avoid them when they’re prone to rampages/being drunk or violent, etc.
if you have siblings and can safely do so, talk to them. it’s easier to deal with this stuff together.
carry around something small (pocket knife, etc) that you can use to defend yourself in a pinch.
avoid alone time with your abuser AT ALL COSTS.
password your phone, password your laptop, clear your search history, don’t leave anything for someone to get angry at
become familiar with your surroundings (neighborhood/woods/city/whatever) in case you need to run away. look for motels within walking distance and memorize their locations
if your parents don’t make you food or there isn’t much in the house, pasta and cheese is amazing. cook some pasta (macaroni or really any other kind), put some cheese on top (again, any kind) and microwave that bitch for :45 and you have yourself a surprisingly filling meal with only 2 flexible ingredients. if you’re tired of/don’t have cheese, ragu/tomato sauce is great too. i could alternate those 2 meals and live on it for weeks honestly
document EVERYTHING, as it happens. abusers are great at twisting your memories and making you think you’re exaggerating in your mind. write down abusive things that are said or done to you (or take pictures) so you can use them to reassure yourself later that the abuse isn’t in your head. don’t do this if you don’t have a secure place to keep the proof.
and my favorite
have a small bag (walmart bag or equivalent size) that has a few days worth of essentials ready to grab and go! fit some stuff like
- money ($20 ish, more if you can)
- a water bottle or 2
- granola bars
- light jacket
- change of clothes
- flashlight
- tampons, hand sanitizer (amazing for cleaning w no water)…
and whatever else you need and can fit into a small bag, and keep it under your bed or in an easy grabbing location. i call it the Shit Hits The Fan bag, for if you ever need to just book it outta there asap.
if you can store one in your home somewhere and one outside (in a weather-resistant location like a shed or in a tree) it’s even better.
This breaks my heart to read. No one should ever have to go through this. May Allah protect you all, Ameen.
Dear Men Writers
Lesser known facts when writing women:
- High heeled shoes don’t become flats if you break the heels off.
- The posts of earrings aren’t sharp.
- Nail polish takes a long time to dry and smudges when wet.
- You can’t hold in a period like pee.
- Inserting a tampon is not arousing or sexual in any way, ever.
Feel free to add your own.
- Bras leave red marks on the skin under and around boobs and it is a magical experience when taken off.
- Make up can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on how skilled you are.
- Taking hair out of a ponytail after wearing it for hours does not make it perfectly straight when it comes down.
- Hair when wet sticks to the skin it no longer flows, idiot.
-When women with long hair kiss, turn around, do anything, their hair falls in the way.
- Stockings are itchy and tear like wet paper bags.
- Pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings are each different.
- Waxing hurts and leaves red skin for a while afterwards while shaving leaves stubble
- Most can’t run in heels unless they have been VERY worn
- Insecurity in appearance doesn’t mean “buy me a drink”
- EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN EVERYTHING
-Having large breasts sucks. It sucks beyond belief. If a garment happens to fit your large chest, odds are it won’t fit the rest of you. Underboob sweat is real and terrible. Bending over for extended periods of time will tweak your back out. Running can be painful due to boob turbulence. Bras are hella expensive. Big breasts are not fun.
Putting a tampon in isnt a quick bend-poke-done kinda deal. It involves cubicle yoga, messy hands, numerous curse words as you realise it isnt in correctly and have to take it out and start again with a new one.
Yes to all of this. But also:
If her hair is in an updo, one does not simply remove a hairpin to send her hair cascading down her back. No. If her hair is an updo, it will take at least an hour and an extra set of hands to remove the 137 bobby pins that are holding her hair in place. Furthermore, there’s probably a can’s worth of hairspray in there, intended to withstand category 2 hurricane winds. There’s no cascading happening here - the best you can hope for is a misshapen nest of hair to clump and poof unattractively in the back while it still remains flat against her scalp.
This is one of the funniest posts I’ve seen in a while (especially if you read all the comments), but also really depressing because at 42 I still judge myself as having failed for not matching up to all these mythical stereotypes despite knowing they’re impossible
^^^This though
all i have to say is thank god for someone like lana and her new music whilst we suffer within this weird weird world
she couldn’t care less and I never cared more
so there’s no more to say about that
except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
