“She wished that she could dive down into the water, that she could live down there under the water; that she could drink water and breathe water, let water support her limbs and lay a comforting weight on her shoulders. Down there she’d be safe from the storm. On the surface the waves and the wind could tear the world to tatters, but she’d be safe down in her watery cocoon.”

Kirsty Logan, The Gracekeepers

I’ve been cleaning out my closet after doing a bit of thrifting last week - now trying to find some summer coords to accommodate the warmer weather!

Having to still go more casual as I’m on call for work today, but I’m enjoying wearing the cute layers again. I hope y'all like the photobomb of my husband’s tuba and the extra shot of my dog during some cuddle time

Mori Community Introduction

Name: Megan

Age: 25

Location: Texas, USA

How long have you been wearing mori or have been interested in mori? I started looking into Mori in October of last year and tried my first coords in November - I'm still pretty new to the Mori lifestyle!

What do you like about mori? I like the color schemes, the slower way of life, and the emphasis on connecting to nature. I like the idea of mori as a daily pattern of life, beyond the fashion aesthetic.

Favorite places to find mori fashion: thrift stores, I have not tried online shopping for mori just yet

Three favorite mori pictures:

Pictures of you:

About you: I am a hospice social worker and love the work I do. I have three dogs, so it is never boring at my house! I am married to a major Zelda/Nintendo and music fanatic, and it has been fun to connect our different interests. I love Winnie the Pooh 🍯 and am working that fandom into my mori lifestyle as well. I also have recently gotten into cross stitching and am hoping to focus on crafty/DIY gifts this year.

Anything else? I am a newbie to mori and am excited to keep learning how other people interpret the culture and what makes them excited about this lifestyle 😊

intro post

hello, deers!

this blog is a categorized compilation of all kinds of mori kei related resources shared in the mori kei discord, run by its admin @nanarin​/ @sapphicfawn​. i crosspost things shared in the resources channel of the discord, but i will also turn on submits so you can submit your own favorite helpful things (alternately, you can dm this blog, or ping it in a tumblr post you want to submit to be reblogged.)

this place is just getting set up, so excuse the dummy pages and text still showing up on the blog, and the tag list not yet being filled out - i will add tags to the list as i post and tag the posts.

if youd like, give the post a reblog so other mori folk can find this resource compilation!

It’s warmed up today, so I’m taking some time to pick pecans that have fallen since our last rainy day. I find it a pretty relaxing pastime :)
