Happy ho-ho-holidays XD Noelle fictionkin here!!!
Your account is so so cute and so is your art!!! I love it so much, I've never seen an aesthetic like this before, it's so unique!!!
I hope you don't mind me asking a question??? You don't need to answer if you don't wanna, but I see a lot of people crosspost between the fictionkin tag and jirai tag but I don't know what jirai is???
XP Thanks in advance!!!
Hi!! Thank you so much, your blog is adorable! ^^
English is not my first language so my definition of it may vary with someone else's, because I am noticing there's differing opinions, but:
Jirai is associated with emotional instability, maybe also being intense, like showing affection in an intense way.
Jirai is tied to specific clothing style and makeup too, and not everyone who dresses or uses jirai makeup identifies as being emotionally unstable.
In general it's similar to menhera in how both terms relate to mental illness and have their own aesthetic, although they differ. I do see some people saying jirai is anti-recovery, I do not share that mindset.
I personally consider myself jirai because I am unstable, not so much volatile in anger, but rather suffering of episodes that make me scream and have big moodswings. I also am not very intense when showing affection.
I honestly do consider myself menhera too. The reason I think we see more jirai crosstagging with fictionkin tags is jirai may be more widely used or more popular.
Sorry this was kind of long!
