Round 1, Match 122 — Fairy Kei vs. Green Academia

Fairy Kei (フェアリー系) is a Japanese Harajuku fashion style based on children's pop culture from the 1980s. It is characterized by a pastel color palette as well as a fluffy or floaty appearance. When not refering to the fashion on its own, the term "fancy" (ファンシー) is commonly used within Japan to describe its nostalgic aesthetic. Fairy Kei visuals include conversation hearts, cotton candy, rainbows, unicorns, milkshakes, confetti, polka dots, balloons, vinyl records, rollerblades, and 80s and 90s toys.

vs.

Green Academia (also known as botanic academia, botanical academia, earth academia, earthy academia, nature academia, and natural academia) is a splinter Academia aesthetic specializing in biology and earth sciences, especially botany, ecology, geobiology, mycology, and zoology. Green Academia is similar to Goblincore in its appreciation of nature, collecting of trinkets, and, in some respects, fashion, however Green Academia has more of a focus on knowledge and science, mainly environmental science. Although social sciences are emphasized less in Green Academia than in other academic aesthetics, philosophy, natural history, and environmental sociology are featured in various forms throughout green academia media. Arts including poetry, sculpture, and drawing are popular in green academia text posts and images. Common visual elements include nature journals, plant pressings, bottles and jars, lanterns, books, fungi, ink and quills, satchels, feathers, trees, plants, bones, and insects.
