Introduction post time!
Hello, I’m L. I’m a fictive alter in a system (main system blog is @strawberryeyebags) and this is my side blog for Mizuiro fashion/ aesthetics. As well as similar aesthetics like cyber core/ frutiger aero etc. Plus adjacent ones like Heisei retro and juminocore. I’m the co-host and my fellow host has a similar or blog for their more kawaii/2000s aesthetic @astrostired. And if you like ancient history here’s our partner @nyahkmenrah

What is Mizuiro?
Mizuiro (水色界隈) also called Aqua community is a Japanese aesthetic/fashion that uses a pastel blue color palette and visuals. It has a pessimistic mood with cold tones, slouchy/oversized clothing, and an association with Otaku culture. It also incorporates Kawaii elements, especially with mascots like Sanrio.
It originates from an aesthetic was associated with the idol Ano from the Japanese idol group ‘You'll Melt More!’ as well as her fans during the mid to late 2010s. She was the light blue member of the group and her fans followed her aesthetic, eventually it broke away and became a whole community and style of its own.
It’s motifs include:
pale blues, white and greys.
Cute minimalistic illustrations with wobbly line work
A cyber type undertone
Frills
Oversized clothes and tracksuits
Characters like cinnamoroll, Hatsune miku and rei ayanami
Otaku/anime/gaming culture
Arcades, city streets and parking garages as backdrops
Nighttime and dim lighting
Vocaloid
This is where I’ll post and re-blog pictures to do with the style and aesthetic. Partly because I just like to look at it and partly because I want more people to see and appreciate it. Be warned I will block creepy people with no hesitation so don’t be an ass. I’m still learning about this style/subculture all the time as it grows and evolves. So if I get something wrong I’ll try and correct it, don’t take my word as gospel!
Fictive related note: please don’t tag anything of mine / mention l#wlight. I’d rather not be associated with a man who hurt me and those I loved.
That’s all, enjoy the blog.
