A 17th century Ottoman Empire pendant came in the mail

#mine #this is what i lovingly call “baroque crap”. i have plenty of baroque crap at home. it's usually late 16th to 17th century jewellery pieces #that aren't overly opulent #if something is from the 19th century it's basically new in my eyes #i have full pieces of clothing from like 1880s and like you can still wear them (carefully but you can) #anyways the back makes me think #this wasn't a pendant #i assume this was actually a buckle for something. i don't know ottoman clothes as well as polish so I'm not gonna play all knowledgeable #but i'm working on developing my knowledge because ottoman clothes were STUNNING #but the no hem thing was silly #beyond silly. why would anyone do that

Guide To Ouji Fashion For Beginners: Dos And Don’ts

Boystyle (ボーイスタイル), also referred to as Ouji (王子) in pop culture is a fashion style that is frequently associated with lolita fashion. Although it is not Lolita style per se, it is more of a masculine counterpart of the fashion style. It shares many of the aesthetic elements of the Lolita style. If you are a Lolita fan, you are bound to fall in love with the Ouji fashion, also called Kodona Fashion.

The Ouji fashion follows its rules and can be pretty different from the Lolita fashion. Given that the word "ouji" means "prince," it contrasts with the princess-inspired Lolita aesthetic. However, this is just a brief overview of the world of Ouji fashion. Keep reading to dive deep into the beautiful world of Ouji Lolita fashion! 

A Short Introduction To Ouji Fashion

The Ouji fashion is a Japanese trend frequently considered the Lolita fashion’s masculine counterpart. Don't mistake it for a sub-style, though; it is a full-fledged fashion item in itself. Since “Ouji” means prince in Japanese, you may think of it as the male Lolita fashion or even as the “Prince” to the Lolita fashion’s “princess.”

The primary distinction between the Ouji look and its feminine counterpart is the use of pants rather than skirts. The Victorian clothing style has also had an impact on the pants, which come in a variety of lengths. Vests and blouses will go with them. Most outfits may pair a waistcoat with it to complete the look.

So a typical Ouji outfit consists of the following: a blouse, pants, a vest or a jacket, shoes, socks, and, if desired, a hat. When you put these together to create an Ouji coordinate, it should look masculine yet elegant. A vital factor to note is that, although it’s supposed to be "masculine" fashion, anyone –regardless of gender- can wear it.

Types Of Ouji Fashion Style

There are numerous sub styles and themes for Ouji fashion. It has the same three primary substyles as Lolita: classic, sweet, and gothic. However, there is a lot more overlap between these sub-styles, which aren’t as clearly defined. Even so, let’s look at the different types of Ouji fashion styles -

1. Sweet Ouji

The sweet Ouji style refers to more adorable, youthful, and innocent coordination. This style adheres to some of the same guidelines as Sweet Lolita, a sub-style of the Lolita fashion. But this style has a lot more of a “Shota” or young boy vibe.

People who wear this style often pair it with a cute Lolita to twin with them. Some common themes or motifs are school-style, circus, sailor, and white rabbits. There aren’t many hard and fast rules for the set.

But generally, the outfit should include a blouse with ruffles. The pant length will depend on the person’s tastes, but pumpkin or puffed ones are more common. Other common elements include cropped or high-waisted vests, ribbon neck bows, mini crowns, or mini hats.

2. Classic Ouji

The emphasis on elegance and a refined air characterize classic Ouji. This substyle has a more traditional “Princely” feeling. It is more sophisticated than sweet—most Ouji that aren't overly sweet or gothic fall within the classic Ouji substyle. The whole coordination should give off a refined and more mature vibe.

People who practice this style frequently wear boots. They also have specific buttons and structures for the jacket to be considered Classic Ouji, and even the pockets are unique.

The Classic Ouji fashion follows a significant historical influence. The typical elements of this style include – knee-length or longer pants, full-sized bicorn, tricorn or cavalier hats, waist-length or longer vests and jackets, and elegant jabots or neck-bows. The most common themes or motifs can be military, pirate, or royalty.

3. Gothic Ouji

Gothic Ouji exudes a sense of darkness that can take the form of opulent decadence, distressed decay, or a simple, angular design. Generally, Gothic Oujis favor darker color schemes, makeup, patterns, and fashion—people who follow this outfit typically twin with the Gothic Lolitas.

To perfect the Gothic Ouji look, you must have a lot of specific details, just like the two styles mentioned above. The buttons, bows, and pockets should follow the particular Ouji rules. This Ouji style often gets inspiration from Visual-Kei elements such as big hair, platform boots, and flamboyance. The most common aspect of this Ouji style is the color black.

The outfit features jewel tones like navy or Bordeaux to contrast the black. The Ouji style also uses a lot of textures instead of colors, such as jacquard, velvet, or distressed fabric. Another common element is capes and overskirts made from long flowing fabric. The most common themes include vampires, priests, and crosses.

5 Simple Dos And Don’ts about Ouji Fashion You Should Know About

If you are a beginner in Ouji fashion, there may be various elements of this fashion world that you may want to know before delving deeper. Mainly because many people tend to confuse Ouji fashion with Lolita fashion, the more widely recognized fashion style of the two.

So we bring you some simple dos and don’ts in Ouji fashion that you should keep in mind as a beginner.

1. Ruffled Blouse Over Plain Blouse

When you are doing an Ouji look, plain button-ups work fine. But when you pair them with a jacket or vest with a longer neck, the simple button-up can look a bit too simple. So you may opt for a more extravagant and frilly shirt that brings detail to the neck. Ruffles, jabots, neck bows, lace, and big collars are some details that favor the Ouji style.

2. Pants Define The Ouji Look

Pants are one of the essential elements of the Ouji look, as they are the main element that set the style apart from Lolita. Shorts and knickerbockers are the most common styles and lengths of pants that bring the Ouji vibe to an outfit.

Pants will also determine your Ouji style for the day. Long pants work best if you want a gothic and mature look.

3. Accessorize A You Want

When it comes to accessories, only the sky is the limit for you. Simply play around with it. If you already have a lot of Lolita accessories or other gothic ones, they may also complement the Ouji style. Some of the most common accessories in Ouji fashion are ties, bowties, jabots, lace, pocket watches, waist chain, etc.

4. Invest In Real Top Hats

Hats are most probably the most common element of the Ouji look. The two hat types most frequently seen in the style are top hats (mini or not) and tricorns (mini or not). Nevertheless, wearing newsboy hats and bowlers is also possible.

It’s best to avoid buying costume hats when you’re out shopping for hats. Authentic top hats look much better and aren’t even that expensive. Please note that if you buy these hats internationally, the shipping fee usually will be very high as the hats will involve volumetric weight.

5. Try Not To Look Too Casual

In the Ouji style, it’s best to avoid looking "too casual." Simply pairing a button-up with shorts or capris does not look boyish. Such an outfit seems uninspired and boring. Adding a few small accessories allows you to turn even the most basic style into something more attractive.

Conclusion

For everyone starting their Ouji journey, the new terminologies and overlapping substyles can be a bit overwhelming. So for all the beginners out there, we share a guide to Ouji fashion in this article.

I hope it has helped you start your journey with a clear idea of the beautiful world of Ouji fashion. Thanks for reading up till now.

what. what the hell is going on with that OC soulmate relationship

#diversity win the antag wants to ruin her soulmate's life thru a forced bond whether theyre a miserable cis man or miserable transfem dyke

imagine you walk into a high-class party filled with glamorous political powerhouses who are all doing glamorous political powerhouse things. there's like a Nauseating amount of finery on display. this is clearly a place where people own things for the sake of Having Things that other people Can't Have. sweet jesus the capitalism. it oozes. eaugh

the hostess of this party is a glowingly beautiful woman with long, beachy blonde hair and an incredibly friendly smile. she greets you by name and compliments your earrings or your bracelets or some other specific aspect of your outfit that you felt kinda unsure about. she looks genuinely thrilled that you showed up, like she was waiting for you, even though that makes no fucking sense because there are a million people here and they're a lot more important than you are.

about an hour into schmoozing and socializing and such, or whatever tf you're doing here, you catch the hostess sitting in the corner of one of these shitty opulent rooms with a woman who looks like she just crawled out of the grave. not like a servant, any serving staff around here are DEFINITELY better dressed than this. this chick is wearing a tank top at Best and her face is smeared with enough badly-smudged eyeliner to look like a 2008 scene kid who got hit by a truck. she looks like either she hasn't slept in three straight days or she did like 72 drugs that aren't agreeing with her.

the hostess notices you watching them, waves you over, and happily introduces the other woman as her wife. the goth scene emo disaster lady looks you dead in the face and says, "i am going to kill myself." and then expands upon the sentiment. with a very long, very detailed, very gruesome plan. there is zero humor in it.

you do not know what to do with this.

the hostess, totally unperturbed, pats her wife's hand. she assures you that that's just her sense of humor. spouses are quirky like that!

the emo bitch does not blink. or smile. she appears to be trying to explode you with her mind.

you voice some kind of sentiment about how sometimes it's healthier NOT to make constant suicide jokes, or whatever, and instead to redirect your focus, or whatever, and try to come up with a different means of mental coping. because making suicide jokes just reinforces the urge, or whatever. who cares. you're not a mental health professional

the emo bitch responds to this by saying, "i am going to actually kill myself," and then expands with a fresh new overly-detailed plan. it is completely different from and somehow more gruesome than the first one. if you're not nauseous by the end of it then you have nerves of steel.

the hostess betrays only the smallest hint of annoyance and tells her wife to stop being so fucking rude. then, because you still look Deeply Concerned About Whatever The Hell Is Happening Here, she grins and informs you that everything's A-okay. the only reason she'd ever worry is if her wife Stopped making suicide threats <3

why, you ask.

she laughs. this is extremely funny to her. the emo bitch has yet to blink but apparently that's fine too.

"because then," the hostess tells you, "she might actually do it."

I love Westerns. I love dorky old black-and-white TV show Westerns that I watch with my grandfather. I love the Louis L'Amour paperbacks that I used to "borrow" from my father. I love the copy of True Grit (arguably the best Western novel ever, in my opinion) that my mother gave me once. I also love over-the-top space opera Westerns and sneaky thematic Westerns that crop up in genres that you'd think aren't Westerns at all. (If it stands at the junction of past and future, there's a good chance that it's a Western.)

Because of this, I have this recurring fantasy of Crowley in a purple brocade suit and a silk bowler hat with a smooth ribbon, perhaps even with a fancy cravat. Maybe even a robber-baron cane to twirl between his fingers. I crave seeing this man in Gilded Age opulence. What would be more luxurious (read this word in its Elizabethan meaning of "lustful" or "sinful") than seeing Crowley in an overly elaborate Pullman car, sipping whiskey from a glass decanter whilst rattling into a frontier being built by the forces of greed, hope, and sweat?

Somebody write or draw this for me. I have zero actual talent to do it myself. <sigh>

@nvrcmplt as he born of faith and villages asking for his being or was he made from the earth itself? what's it like for him to allow his anger to consume him completely? Is there any trigger that will snap-him out of that or into it easily? is he able to spit flames or lightening?

a little bit of both, one more than the other. so mùyáng was born from the earth itself, a little nestling who was wide eyed about the expanse of the beauty of the world before him. he raced around, danced in the winds and flowed with the currents and as he grew up, and civilization came to be, he was the opulent dancer, a silly nickname for a nestling who tended to bring fortune and luck to those who came across him. their faith is what sustained him into who he became.

they asked for him as he continued to grow and he would always show when they called. to do what he could to assauge their worries. and sometimes he still does that, he sees the good in those who aren't overly greedy. the ones who simply want to survive, he understands that and he will stand by them no matter what. mùyáng prepared feasts for these villagers, he would dance for them, drink with them, laugh with them and come morning, their crops would prosper, someone would be pregnant, illnesses cured. he was important to them.

rage is all-consuming, it's cremated corpses, wood fire burning endlessly and evaporated water source in the wake of his ire. mountains crumpled from the heat of his flames. there's no reason known to him, only that there is red, there is death and there is retribution. most of the time, the trigger is hurting one of the many villages under his protection. he will actively protect them because he loves those people. hurting the people he considers his is the biggest one he has. even threatening them will have him seeing nothing but death. he's a jovial, albeit dramatic, kinda guy but that will send him into red faster than anything. as for snapping him out of it ? pain, there's a patch of scales on his left side near his hip that is extremely sensitive to pain, even a simple thwack there ( and he has to trust you to even let you this close ) will bring him back. a soft call of his name from someone he infinitely trust, a small child placed in the path of his destruction, even faster.

fire ! he's never tried lightning since fire tends to come easier. it starts like a low hum in his belly and then finds it's way to his chest and out his throat. he's very partial to using fire because it burns hot enough to make a statement and he just likes watching things burn. also, lightning tends to bounce off his scales when he's flying in a storm so he doesn't know how to channel the element properly.
