im moving blogs plz read! ^w^
wow, hi this is a very strange post to make because ive really rebranded myself over the past couple of months, this is mostly for nonmutuals or people who followed me when i was a cottagecore blog lol whats up, my name is juno, i started this blog under the url "cranberried," it was a cottagecore blog from roughly 2018ish to about uhh 2020?? i started it after i broke my ankle and moved blogs, just for a fresh start needless to say, as someone from the midwest, cottagecore was a fairly easy aesthetic for me to obtain because ive grown up around farmland my whole life. however, after being around for a while, i encountered some fair critique about the concept of cottagecore and how colonization is ingrained in the aesthetic, whether people choose to acknowledge it or not. (i am not here to debate this, i am WHITE i am not going to argue over it because white people have obviously benefited from colonization) i really like this article, it was very eyeopening and is a good read
and now that ive had a major change in aesthetic and identity, and as someone who is constantly trying to be the best ally i can be, this is officially my post removing myself from the cottagecore "community" or whatever you choose to call it. i’d love the concept moving forward to be more willing to recognize and accept valid criticism on the euro-centric and colonizing undertones; overall uplifting BIPOC voices. i slide back and forth between 6.9k and 7k followers, something im grateful for, i made some cool friends and mutuals over the years. but im gonna cut ties with this blog and move all together to a more cohesive blog for content i currently reblog, create, and enjoy i still get regular notifications from old posts from a while back, that's fine im not bothered by it, and im only making this post because cottagecore is what got me to this point and where a good chunk of my following is from i encourage my mutuals if they're interested to stick around for my regular bullshit, im a horror, hannibal, jjba, poetry blog these days. i have a much darker aesthetic now, if you can’t tell, much different than when i first made this blog lol im also trying to be a better writer so i might have a bigger emphasis on my poetry moving forward, so if you’re a writer, i love comments and critique, you can follow me for that lmao other notes: you can queue from this blog still, the user cranberried is NOT for trade, neither are guar and mothma, so requests and messages like that will be ignored. PPL WHO ARE BITTER ABOUT ME NOT LIKING COTTAGECORE CAN FILE THEIR COMPLAINTS HERE thanks for the good times, it's been fun for the most part so uh see u on da flip side, and you can find my new blog here!
