Today’s deck is the Arcanum Tarot.
Kinda redundant name. In case it wasn’t obvious, Arcanum is the singular of Arcana. It’s only slightly less pretentious-sounding than “Datum” or “Fora”. Deck’s pretty though!
Today’s reading… ages ago I wrote a post talking about how one shouldn’t approach a collab. That became kinda relevant again today, basically.
Usual routine today, but I had a question nagging at me today. But first I need to explain to you all one of my specific… ideosyncracies I guess?
Basically, I believe that while everyone has at least one fetish (of varying intensity, like autism!), that can also include non-sexual fetishes. Aesthetic elements that you find extremely pleasant even if they don’t really turn you on sexually.
“So aesthetic preferences, then?” Not quite. It’s more in the ballpark of “I’m not xxxx, but-“.
For me, one such thing is… okay, so the point of bringing the topic is precisely trying to see if it had a name, but I mean those like… shiny dark bodysuits? Less Eva Plugsuit and more Emma from Pokemon.
Those are just bodysuits, there’s no mystery name there, what had me intrigued was instead the sort of aesthetic where a girl is wearing bodysuit-like inner clothes (gloves and all) underneath regular clothes.
Emma is a sorta kinda good example (even if there’s just a jacket counting as regular outfit), but the one my mind always goes to is Chiyo Shirayuki from Deresute. I also remember Silence Suzuka having a sorta kinda similar thing going on (even if just implied by tights and gloves) was what made me go “wait, is this a thing?”.
Apparently it is and isn’t? You can get similar results if you look up bodysuit and its adjacent things, but I guess the thing that shocked me is that I half expected it to have like… a more specific name?
So many things have specific nouns to them that I can be forgiven for expecting that, I think.
Beyond that, I had my Japanese lesson but exhaustion made me stop the day right after. It was kinda fun to see the Umeda Idol Street Festa thingy, I always forget it exists until I see all the booths with standees outside the MBS building.
I could’ve gone to the bar regardless, but I’m less chatty when tired and the whole point of going there is to chat!
