Cece | any pronouns | not a minor

About Me

I'm too lazy to make an actual carrd or a nicely-put-together intro, which is really an intro to my personality in itself, so here's what you get.

I'm pearsandcheese, you can call me Cece or Cir or whatever you want, I don't really care. Any pronouns, again, I don't really care. I'm an adult.

I suck at tagging things, but you can always ask me to tag. The tags that I do use frequently-ish are:

#c'est moi - started off as a tag for things that I identified with, switched it to mean original posts. I'll probably go back and fix my old tags at some point, but I haven't yet

#it's me - my new tag for things I identify with

#pokemon art - Pokemon art I've reblogged. Pretty self-explanatory

#I don't go here - usually art, sometimes a text post, from a fandom I don't participate in/don't usually reblog

#kpoposting - my kpop tag. Relatively new as far as my tags go, but will probably crop up more and more. I've decided that cringe is dead and my Tumblr is for my interests

#for reference - versatile as far as my tags go. Used for anything I want to be able to find again: recipes, interesting posts, videos I didn't have a chance to watch when I first found them.

Anyone can interact, but I do block liberally. If you're blocked and we've never interacted, you were probably being obnoxious in someone else's comment section.

Feel free to send asks/reblog my posts/spam like or reblog/whatever else. My Tumblr is for my use, but yours is for you. Do what you want.

My cup containing the two leatherleaf slugs I found back in June is suddenly filled with baby glublings!

Here is a quick illustration of the mother (?) leatherleaf surveying a smattering of tiny beans.

A zeugma walked into a bar, my life and trouble.

Controversial take but if you wrote a novel about two women falling in love and you changed one of them into a man you would have the most enormous smash hit of a romance book on your hands

Maybe because I met like 15 butch lesbians who are the real life equivalent of the ideal male romance lead and I have yet to meet a man who fits the archetype.

Ladies do you want a man who reads you classical novels when you can’t sleep? Bakes cakes, knits sweaters and is able to remodel your bathroom? Good with animals, kids and has a career they’re passionate about? Handsome but not vain? Sweet, sensitive but charmingly rough around the edges? A good conversationalist? Well that’s not a man, that’s my friend Jennifer

it is so wild to me the fashions that are called “emo” today. especially given the fact that probably 80-90% of it is actually scene, not emo. this would have started full on wars 15 years ago

whenever people call this

emo it drives me BANANAS. no! this is not how emos did their hair. this was a scene look!!! some people might have gone from emo to scene depending on their age when new trends happened but they’re DISTINCT

this is getting more popular so i want to clarify, the above are obv scene queens and were what all scene kids aspired to HOWEVER. all of this⤵️? absolutely would have been considered scene in the late 00s (all photos from searching “emo” on pinterest)

whereas these are more emo⤵️

you will note that the scene kids wear brighter pops of color, especially neon pink and green. there’s a lot of pop culture references, patterns and texture. miniskirts very popular, the more layered the better. the emo kids are more simple, the black skinny jeans are a staple obv and usually dark hair and a band shirt, maybe some stripes but not anything crazier than that in terms of patterns. maybe a few accessories, but not so many that you hear them coming from a few miles away.

now THESE three are more in the middle. personally, i would categorize the first as scene, and the #1 giveaway there is the domo necklace- a scene icon- and the multitude/stacking of accessories backs it up. the middle is harder- the front of the hair and band shirt suggest emo, but the pink, layering, and the hair bow are decidedly scene. i think you could probably call it either way but i would lean scene. the last one is also hard- the hair highlights and amount of accessories are more scene, but the color scheme, especially the silver and black for the accessories as opposed to patterns, make me lean emo.

So the shower perch fell off the wall today and Mia got a bit more water than she bargained for

Mia would like the internet to know that she is now warm and dry

Holy shit these comments made me see red. You just know NONE of these men ever came close to an astro degree because if they did, they would be bringing it up constantly. But somehow they feel more qualified than a graduate with a stellar resume, for the laughably stupid reason that they have a dick and she doesn't. Sexism is alive and well
