My silly lil 🥺

Hello! I'm very new to tumblr so I'm still learning how to use it (I'll be posting my drawing here). A little info about me: Latina artist || 19 || she/her || i speak both Spanish and English, and a little of Italian 

[kanatapukapukashinkai]

hi, i might regret this but, till further notice I’ll be leaving this account. With how my mental health is doing rn, I don’t feel comfortable being on tumblr anymore. My therapist told me I shouldn’t care so much about what people think of me and that if it makes me happy I should continue this, but I do care, my whole existence feels like it was built on what others think. To the point my head feels like exploding, and I feel like I can’t talk to anyone, because I’ll just be judged again. So :”) I know this sounds dumb, I just need a moment

[kanatapukapukashinkai]

If there’s something I’d say I dislike about the jirai community, I’ve mostly seen it in the western side, is the “we aren’t all bad apples” argument. It feels like it shames jirais that don’t have “acceptable” mental illnesses for finding ways to vent their current situations. Im guilty of thinking like that back when I was just starting out with jirai kei. After seeing that some found it controversial I was so desperate on finding reasons for it to be okey to like the style and relate to the subculture behind it. So seeing people say “well we aren’t all like that” really turned my mindset into “well I only like it because I relate to the term not because I [blank]”. I’m still very nervous when it comes to how others view me, my opinions get molded easily because I’m afraid of people thinking I’m a bad person. Tho I’m glad I was able to go past that mindset. Everyone has a reason to relate to the term, we shouldn’t be othering each other.

Please do leave comments if you’d like to talk. Tho understand I’m a nervous wreck

NO girl dont ruin your early 20s by staying home every saturday and lamenting the death of your childhood while also being afraid to even act like a 20 something year old bc you still feel so young yet so old and lost all at once haha you’re so sexy!

They blocked me and vague posted about me. That’s just mean, idk what happened, but I just wanted to talk to you. I like discussing with people, and thought we were having a good talk. Idk where u got that I harassed people, I don’t even know you and barely use tumblr. I’d appreciate if we could talk things out, I’d like to understand the situation more

Just because we have different views doesn’t mean we can’t talk.

My dopamine? My doppo-mine? 💊💥❤️‍🩹

Back with a lil piece I conjured up a while back. I thought jirai fashion would really suit Doppo’s whole atmosphere, and with Hifumi being a host, it was too good of an opportunity. Had a lot of fun trying out this pose and playing with the background

I’m happy you like my drawing (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡ I know that there are many things people find controversial about jirai kei. If you don’t mind me asking, what is it about the way jirai is being used here that you don’t like?

Thank you for asking so nicely!!! Well, the Issue with Jirai Kei fashion, is exactly the fact that it doesn't really exist. The fashion itself os Girly Kei, and Jirai Kei is a mislabel of the fashion. It is a word that has so much stuff going on around it that I can't explain it all by myself, so here are some articles and posts about it that go in depth!!!

Hi! No worries 🫶🫶 I’m glad we can talk. I’ll have to kindly disagree with that, I think that jirai has become its own thing at this point. For example:

This is a clip from cbr.grl, where she’s interviewing Nuta, who’s a fashion influencer. I think it’s important that, no one here forced her mention jirai kei and ryousangata, she just did on her own. Possibly because those are the terms for the respective fashions. 

Not saying that Girly isn’t a thing, just that it’s not the same as Jirai and, that the term Jirai Kei is used amongst people that know about fashion. 

whenever I feel like the jirai hate gets to me, I think about that one part in cybr.girl’s Tenshi kaiwai video where Nuta mentioned jirai ke

There’s also the LARME scans (all credit to @sweetiemilkbear) 

Other instances as well

Some articles that speak of jirai kei as a fashion:

Also on that one [Dark Girly] collection might not be much but I still wanted to include it.

Also sorry for such a long reply <“3 I do want to say that I’ve read the post you’ve sent me before, I’m a very nervous person and I just read about anything.

This part is mostly directed at the first link you sent, the doc (nothing against you fr). A while back, I’d decided to reverse image research the drawings they had used as examples. I find it kind of weird that they decided to edit an artist’s drawing to make their point. When the original one was for a sock collection, and mentioned no specific styles in the text

Hiiiiii,,,long time no see 😭

[kanatapukapukashinkai]

Hi 🥺🥺 sorry for not posting in so long, I’ve been going down the Jirai rabbit hole, but I’ll be sure to post a drawing this week! In a more serious note. There’s been a lot of discourse, specially with the newest cybr grls jirai kei video! (Which I’m glad they touched on the darker side!) I just wanted to say, please dni if you are okey with or partake in harassment, sending death threats, etc. More specifically, I’ve seen a lot of concerning messages in Menheratics asks, and I won’t stand for that. Personally don’t like some of the stuff from the blog, but even then it’s literally common sense to not tell someone to off themselves. 💀 Please people, just because you differ in opinions doesn’t give you the right to be like that. It’s okey to disagree, you can have your own opinions, it’s okey to rant and vent about it, having discussions is also good!, but never go to the extreme. I mean this for both sides.
