I dug this image up because it perfectly captures a very specific glitch in my brain. For the love of God, I can never write “BUY” correctly on the first try. Last night, while writing in a book, I got to the word ‘buy’ and, without fail, wrote ‘by’. I can remember 500 fictional characters, but the U in BUY? Gone.

fae beauty doesn't bring inclusivity just through their shades but they show that even the models you see on your screen have acne, redness, facial hair — obviously nothing bad about it. but we've been so drilled to think that these normal stuff are "wrong" or something that must be fixed. another thing i really appreciate is size inclusivity, which in makeup isn't always talked about, for obvious reasons. but it's still something that must be appreciated.

simply nam, oh god, we're in the era where some boys hide that they do makeup or secretly buy makeup and say it's for their girlfriend, or the "men" makeup such as that stupid men pen which is simply just a brown pencil. i genuinely appreciate simply nam for including male models and normalizing men wearing makeup because makeup doesn't have a gender bro. plus, yeh bas swatches mein hi nahi hai, they have male models on the front of their website too.

Aap itne to aakhir pareshan na ho,

back to my point, the folks are so pissed about using "tu" in js casual convos, js amongst frnds. i wonder what their reaction will be when they realize the "tu" is also carried in the conversations with their parents 💀💀. my frnd js shared a excerpt of her convo with her mom where she was like "teri beti patli ho rahi hai".

i grew up hearing some my frnds say "tu" and such language to their parents, some say "aap". even i say aap to my parents and older sister/cousins and that's js the way it's always been. obviously, there's no right or wrong way because all languages we speak today are shaped their stories, histories, and culture. but goddamn i also want to know what a random Lucknowi( or nothern ppl's ) reaction would be. because I've heard some of them say ki "yeh gaali ki tarah lagta hai" 💀 and that they wouldn't even use such language for their close frnd.
