I don't know much, but I'm learning.

If you were following along, we recently had mori week. I posted my answers to each prompt on my bluesky account, but I wanted to share them here as well! It's no surprise to anyone who knows me at all that my favorite color is purple. Today is also Turkey Day, so I made a cozy purple outfit to lounge at home with family. My closet is still lacking in skirts, so rare mori pants! I play a lot of games, mori and not. My top favorites atm though would probably "Season: A Letter To The Future" for indie games, and Zelda games for big studio games. In "Season", you travel an abandoned world on your bike, seeking to make sense of the past and future of your world. The scenery is beautiful and the story is very thought provoking. Zelda games are so well known, there's no need to explain them. But new or old, they never fail to give me a sense of wonder!  My first Zelda game was actually TOTK. I still have such fond memories of the first time I picked it up. Even th...

Happy Holidays my deers! My favorite holiday, Christmas, is right around the corner. So I'm using the theme of "glitter" as an excuse to talk about Christmas things. (Because Christmas stuff is sometimes glittery? Right? Stay with me I know it's a stretch. I just really want to talk about Christmas!!) If you don't celebrate Christmas and are not interested at all in this post, absolutely no hard feelings! I will see you in the next one. But if you do celebrate Christmas, or Yule, or just like general wintery and holiday vibes, then let's dive into some fun options for being festive and mori this season! Mori Christmas Music First things first, lets get a holiday vibe going! I made a mori Christmas playlist with some soft, natural sounding versions of popular holiday songs. Check it out here ! I've talked about mori Christmas musicians a few times here before, but some of my go-tos are She & Him's Christmas albums, the John Denver and the Muppets Ch...

Recently, a group of us mori folk on discord proposed a set of challenges for a mori celebration week! With the help of a lot of great ideas from various people, mori-no-tori on tumblr put together a list of prompts that mori folk can follow along with for "Mori Week"! Mori Week will run from Nov. 27th to Dec. 3rd with a prompt for each day. Feel free to join and use the hashtags #moriweek to share your posts! I will be posting mine on BlueSky, and later here as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone's posts!

You may or may not have heard various J-fashion influencers discussing a supposed up and coming fashion style, a remade version of mori known as "Neo Mori." I personally refuse to get a TikTok for many, many reasons (lol), so I was only recently alerted to the term by someone on the mori discord. Looking at the information provided, I had a lot of thoughts. And knowing how the western J-fashion community likes to jump on new trends quicker than you can blink, this is likely to get a lot of coverage. So, let's get ahead of the curve and talk about it from the point of view of a mori girl who has been around in the fashion community for a long time now. What is neo mori? Let's start with the basics. Neo mori, also known as neo mori girl, is a term coined by the company SPINNS to describe a "modernized" version of mori fashion. According to SPINNS, and some other Japanese commentators/bloggers, the style incorporates the old feel of mori with more urban sensibi...
