they wanted the shire but not the efforts and duties of the place

I'm not saying this with any kind of venom, but censoring key words every other sentence makes it very difficult to follow the essay. I appreciate wanting to fly off UA-cam's radar, but when choosing to speak about certain topics, one just has to slap on a mature rating and use their grown up words. Audio censorship and no subtitles render the format inaccessible. This aside, I'm really enjoying the deep dive. I'm really looking forward to the second half of the video! I don't think I've ever seen the "Wonyoungism" trend talked about in relation to lolita 🤔

I love the series and I’ve read the book

Not just cottagecore, but I was always drawn to the farmstead lifestyle since I was a child. Playing Harvest Moon only encouraged the idea & as a 25 year old woman now, I still want that lifestyle even with the knowledge that farm life is hard work. My home is surrounded by a lot of farms despite not living on one myself.

It's like if looksmaxxing put on a custom skin...

Hmmmm.......... I have opened my heart and mind... to cringe... and have thus become based? Interesting. Veeery interesting...

TW: Sexual abuse, child abuse, self harm, disordered eating, suicide • • • I’ve made “vent art” and “therapy art” that you could qualify as “traumacore” off and on since my early teens. For me personally, I was a young child who had been badly abused by basically everyone I’d been told to trust (parents, neighbors, teachers)… everyone I should have been able to go to for help, everyone I needed in order to get the actual professional help I needed wasn’t there for me. I only had myself and my community of other abused kids. I couldn’t even speak out loud about some of the things that happened to me. I used to get punished for crying so I couldn’t even express on my face what I was feeling. I only had two ways to get any of my frustration and emotion and suffering out for others to see, to alleviate my pain and maybe just maybe have someone care enough about something being clearly wrong to help me when I was incapable of asking for it. One outlet was self abuse (no not that kind). Hair pulling, fist fights, drinking, biting, food restriction, burns and smoking, cuts…. Anything that would physicalize my emotional pain. The other was art. If I couldn’t cry in real life I could on paper. I drew a lot of body horror bc I felt so alien in my own skin, I felt like I wanted to literally escape the reality my body held me in. I drew beautiful fake moments in my life or about my future, things like a wedding I didn’t think I’d ever see bc “who’d love someone so damaged?”. I’d draw myself in positions of power or causing harm to people who hurt me even tho I’m a very gentle empathetic person who could never actually hurt another person. It was the only thing that made me feel like I had any control, especially since the abuse didn’t really stop until I was well into my 20s. I basically felt like I had my body and my whole life stolen from me, and I was angry and depressed and scared. I don’t know if I ever won’t be, and I doubt I’ll ever stop making art about it. That being said, I now ALSO go to therapy and talk with a professional. I got diagnosed with BPD and fast swing bipolar, one of which is hard to recover from without pretty intense therapy (I was told this by the first psych I ever saw, at 26, while in ICU recovering from a suicide attempt) and the other making it VERY easy for others to hurt or take advantage of me while in particularly vulnerable and suggestible manic states. I take strong antipsychotics and mood stabilizers and no longer do or have any urge to self harm. I do think sometimes there can be the possibility of traumacore causing harm, through triggering unsuspecting audiences and through keeping people from seeking stronger forms of help as they feel that the art is “good enough” of an outlet to hold back the stronger feelings and impulses without addressing the underlying issues. That being said I think the creation of this art and the community building around it is EXTREMELY important to people like me who’ve experienced complex trauma as it may be our only option at times and may even keep some of us from turning that pain inwards or from lashing out at others. I think trying to police it, especially as an outside observer, does more harm than good. Within the community I think there’s generally a similar mindset to the disabled community (of which I am also part) where we recognize that you simply cannot tell who does and doesn’t need this and why. At the end of the day /maybe/ the person posing is doing it just for the aesthetic, or maybe they have a serious trauma they don’t feel comfortable talking about directly. Maybe someone is glorifying things, or maybe they’re just trying to feel some control over the situation they were forced into. Maybe they’re self-triggering, or maybe they’re building up a tolerance so they can talk about it. I think most of the vitriol and discourse really comes from people outside the community who find it repulsive or disturbing simply bc as you said, we DONT talk about trauma. The mere idea of it freaks people out. Some people, I suspect mostly subconsciously, simply don’t want there to be a space for people to openly discuss these upsetting things out in public. But that leaves us feeling more alone and leaves us less likely to seek help or start recovering. I think a lot of people on some level simply don’t want even the possibility of other people’s pain making them uncomfortable.

This is expressionism, not romanticism. If you don't like it you don't have to look at it. This is my way of expressing pain. not you creator of video, i meant the general audience

Not to mention the first antagonist really is the person these kids are forced to bow to the whims of. Headmaster Grimm who indoctrinated them with the belief that they will cease to exist if they do not stay on the path. But hes not a villain either because he has trauma too, every villain in the story has reasons for their actions. Even The Evil Queen kind of has reasons! No one is a black and white Good or Bad person. The 'Good' guys do bad things, the 'Bad' guys do good things because that is what real life is.

Hiw did you know yesterday was my birthday?

But...cottagecore is not dead... and it didn't start in 2020. Maybe its because I'm not on tiktok, but while I noticed an uptick in cottagecore interest around covid-times... its largely stayed the same for the last decade.

Here’s my opinion The eyes, the original, the new, the commercialised.. Weirdcore is amazing. I don’t mind what type, new or old. It’s great.

WHATT HEY LOLITA HEY IS MY FAV SONG...

Bro your voice is so calming.

From being neglected as a child, I was overweight. So compared to the other kids in my class, my breats were full, and so were my hips. I used to get sexualized for my "precocious" features, and I often wished for a body similar to my peers. This eventually led to an eating disorder so bad I started fainting and was rushed to the hospital. Coquette glorifying these topics makes my stomach churn, and i'm glad people are talking about it more.

as an Italian (saw the original version growing up AND rewatched it later. and then tried to see it in English...) i couldn't agree more.

8:22 I love the silent hill series! I’ve been playing for years!

I love the coqeutte aesthetic, its the only one i actually feel confident and comfortable with. But i hate HATE, Lolita. I made te mistake of watchinh the movie and i felt sick for days. Its disgusting.

when i clicked on this video i wasnt expecting to see yume nikki gameplay ngl-

I assumed the only people who make and are drawn to traumacore aesthetics are other survivors.

12:10 men have a place in the cottage core dreamworld. they are out of sight of the camera they dont go to the nice spot under the tree to rread a book and eat strawberries, someone has to fix that hole by the window at the corrage, someone has to herd the sheep or mend the fence, someone has to work the fields, someone has to collect and cut firewood or make the cheese and sausage the girls take to the picknick. this seems unfair (and is sort of besides the point of participating in this community iot isnt these peoples real life afterall) but i as a young man find this massively appealing.

Great video! I fell down the nymphet rabbit hole and man does is it bad for body image. However, my love for the hyper feminine fashion stems from how I believed that society saw Black girls and women. We were always portrayed as being strong and not super feminine. That hurt me because I wanted be perceived as delicate, sweet, and innocent. I wanted to be this fragile doll that someone would take care of and not see as a threat. The coquette/nymphet to eating disorder and grooming pipeline is a real thing. Thankfully I had overprotective parents so I didn't have to deal with any grooming issues. I did end up with an eating disorder. I was hyper obsessed with being skinny because it would further allow me to be seen as cute and delicate. With extreme skinniest coming back, it confuses me. I'm a young woman (25) and I haven't been super skinny in 3 almost 4 years. I've gained weight ns according to those around me, I look like a regular healthy person. however somewhere deep down inside I feel less desirable, innocence, and cute. I try my best to avoid coquette and similar tags in social media as they just send me spiraling. In regards to the grooming aspect there definitely is a push to toxic and older men. I'd say that it doesn't help that many modern romance books also perpetuate this as well (innocent, flirtatious, an not too young female leads and male leads who are toxic, creepy, and often times old enough to be the female lead's dad). Dismantling some of the problematic trends with this particular aesthetic is going to be difficult to do as some things seemed to be interwoven into society as normal.

Subversive worm.

I remember that when the first seasons of Winx aired in my country, many adults would critique it online for neing inappropriate for kids, mainly because they considered it too hyperfeminine and promoting anorexia. Oddly enough, as I grew older I noticed that they began giving their more tomboyish characters (Techa, Musa, Layla) a lot more feminine traits than before which I really disliked. The art style change that eerily resembled the Top Model drawing books too was horrendous to me. It all seemed way too softened and bland while they could've made impactful changes to the narrative that were more progressive and suitable for a younger audience. I also hated the fact they didn't stick to the obvious ending to the show of Bloom finding her birth parents, but instead dragged it out and revived Daphne for crying out loud. It's always unfortunate to see corporate issues get in the way of the creation of a show, especially when the creators seem so passionate about what they want to bring to the table. I would love to see a complete retelling of the show with a stronger, stable narrative steucture honestly!

Hey! No! Don't diss 4Kids, they had to abide by FCC guidelines.

The cottagecore lifestyle is essentially just a girl only amish lifestyle and I'm pretty sure a lot of netizens would be incable of surviving with no internet access

I dont see any downfall unless you mean the online trend. Cottagecore life and slow living are lifestyle choices and they go wayy beyond the web.

As someone who has been to actual fields and meadows, I was amazed at how few bugs showed up in the videos. I liked the color palette of cottage core, but I knew that I was a city gal though and through. Kinda easy to figure out when I get allergic reactions to bug bites.

11:39 OMORI SONG???? OMGIDJDHSUWHDHHD

Down with cottagecore. Up with Goblincore

They all LOVE listening to Lana del Rey and yet they don't understand... "Blurring the lines between real and the fake..." - Lana del Rey, national anthem...

I don’t think it’s dead.

The names were better, the story was better, the SETTING was better...in every conceivable way, EAH cooked descendants. How are you honna act like you 'won' when the only reason Descendants continued while EAH ended was due to Disney using their money and power to press them into getting cancelled? Descendents is like the dollar store version of EAH if it got ran over by a bus. Its not even recognizable to its own creators. I'm convinced the musical numbers are there to make the young audience forget how trash the plot is... nevermind, what PLOT? Even the plot got lifted from EAH, except they hired the script writer off of temu. The generational beef i have with descendents will never end

I remember Winx getting really weird around season 4 and now I know why, I don't know how old I was when s4 was airing in my country but everybody just stopped talking about it and it just became this one goofy show I'd watch when there's nothing better to watch which were extremely rare occasions, heck even s4 was somewhat enjoyable with the change of pace on earth but after that I just didn't understand what the show was about anymore

Growing up I was always more on the W.i.t.c.h. team. I always felt like Winx was the lesser show. In retrospect, I can say with certainty that both shows definitely deserved better than what they got.

The crowning commentary on Ludomania, is "The Wedding" by Wyspiański. The drama shows how dissonant is imagination of polish inteligentia and practicality and cadishness of actual peasants. Short read, mandatory reading in schools.

24:46 They white washed her so much T_T

I remember woundering after them getting their 4th or 5th transformation type, why they always need new ones and "forget" the old ones existing. I got really annoyed over the sudden new types that seemed to simply pop into existence and never got spoken about before.

Wasn’t season four produced solely by Rainbow as a means of capitalizing off of the first movie? It basically served as an unplanned epilogue. I believe season five was the first season co-produced. It was the first season to be solely dubbed by Nickelodeon (season 4 was only dubbed by Cinelume in English speaking regions prior to the Nick dub). Season 4 still follows the storyline of the first three seasons (the members were growing older). Season 5 is where they started both retconning and incorporating the older season plot elements. Like, things were supposed to have happened and yet they didn’t… This carried on for season 6 and I believe season 7 (it’s been a while since I watched that one).

10:23 i’m sorry but i couldn’t stand that movie, I started crying wile watching just to literally puke a few minutes after finishing it, it was straight up disgusted (and scared)

i used to be SO into cottagecore before the pandemic (probably around late 2018-2019), and it definitely had a super different vibe before tiktok got ahold of it. that being said, it was still very much a fantasy, an idealized version of rural life that (for the most part) was just there to look pretty. but the main appeal was being able to abandon capitalism altogether - which i'd imagine is a fantasy for a lot of people, especially in 2024. it's exactly like what they said - it was a daydream. i was originally excited when cottagecore started gaining popularity, but watching a bunch of massive companies take over an aesthetic that was all about being self-sustaining (growing your own food, making/thrifting your clothes, etc etc) was a massive slap in the face. in fact, that was the main contributor to me leaving behind cottagecore as a whole, since i didn't see the weird tradwife stuff until i'd already left.

Winx club was the reason I started drawing all those years ago, seeing how far it's fallen is so saddening

I'd love to see you do dark academia aesthetic

That's kinda what happening with miraculous on Disney,the animation looks too childish I'm they lost the old animation,but I just hope the change it to something less Coco mellow like,I like how they made it less white washed and made Marinette look more Asian but the animation is not it,ik kjts a kids show but its main audience is teens and young adults

I just found about this aesthetic today and I found it really uncomfortable. But what really caught my attention was putting "-core" in some terms for aesthetic like "cottagecore" "kid core", etc. I was only familiar to -core to kusoc genre like "Deathcore", "metalcore" "mathcore" "hardcore" etc... can someone explain putting core to aesthetics please 🥹 Edit: I really love your art while you're painting in the background!🥹

Muscle mommies >>>>> twigs

Shein corrupts every subculture tbh. Sadly almost any clothing thats affordable for the common person is fast fashion. Even thrift stores are full of it. 😬

I haven’t seen the whole video but calling CaseOh coquette is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day so i love this video

I like hospital core it's similar to trama core but like hospital since I have a lot of trama connected to the hospital

I like to explore user-created traumacore worlds in games like Roblox. It gives me a safe place to contemplate what I've been through in my own life and take some time to honor what others have been through, as well. The elements of childhood give me a way to reconnect with my inner hurting child and give her some much-needed love and recognition.
