Aloof

When sailing close to a lee shore (that is, with the wind blowing onto it), the helmsman might be instructed to hold the ship "a-luff" - that is, close to the wind - to prevent it crashing onto the rocks. To be " a-luff" , or aloof, therefore came to mean keeping your distance.

[Image ID: The Chemme flag created by coiner Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2024. The flag consists of seven horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the horizontal stripes are burnt orange, orange, coral, white, lilac, light purple and purple. /.End ID]

Chemme: a combined Butch-Femme identity.

[PT: Chemme: a combined Butch-Femme identity. /.End PT]

When referring to gender, Chemmegender may be used.

Etymology

From English, "Ch" from "Butch" + "-emme" from "Femme". Coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2024.

Elaboration

Chemme describes any individual who is both Butch and Femme. Chemme is similar to Butchfemme, but specifies Chemme as being distinct from Futch. In this context, Futch is conceptualized as a being between Butch and Femme. Whereas Chemme is a term to describe a coupled Butch-Femme experience. This experience can be (in)distinct, simultaneous, fluid, fluctuating, (un)equal, partial, etc.

Like Butch, Femme, Futch, etc., Chemme can be a queer subcultural identity or a gender identity specifically. When specifying a Chemme gender identity, Chemmegender can be used. Chemmegender describes an individual with a Butchgender-Femmegender bigender.

Flag

The Chemme flag was created using two common Butch and Femme flags, created by tumblr user Butchspace and tumblr user Noodle, respectively with slight color adjustment. The topmost three stripes are taken from the aforementioned Butch flag. The middle stripe is white, like it is in both the Butch and Femme flags. The bottom three stripes are taken from the Femme flag. From top to bottom, the Chemme flag is burnt orange, orange, coral, white, lilac, light purple and dark purple. The stripes have the following meanings:

The burnt orange, orange and coral stripes represent Butch identity.

The white stripe represents Multigender experience.

The lilac, light purple and dark purple stripes represent Femme identity.

The kanji “kei” (系) and its usage

As I still keep seeing it being used in instances where it doesn’t make sense, I thought it would be a good idea to talk a little about the kanji’s actual use within the japanese language.

系 is commonly used as a suffix to categorize and describe various things by their “type”, therefore can also be translated as such. For example, your nationality would be “country+kei+person”, stating the color of something “color+kei+object”, describing a song “genre+kei+music”, and specifying the style of your outfit “style+kei+coord”. However, in the overseas jfashion community there still persists the misunderstanding that it means “style” or “fashion”.

So where does this misunderstanding come from?

The very first instance of “kei” being used in a fashion context overseas was “visual kei” (ヴィジュアル系). During the late 90s, western media outlets discovered the genre and introduced it as unique fashion style from Japan heavily tied to music while also translating its name as “visual style”. This was the beginning of the whole misunderstanding as visual kei is only used to label a band as “visual-type”, meaning there is a heavy focus on a visual aspect. This is also why you will have a hard time shopping for the so-called visual kei fashion because it doesn’t really exist, and what is considered that overseas usually falls under the japanese goth punk (ゴスパンク) style that bangya wear.

After this, many years passed and “fairy kei” (フェアリー系) appeared within the jfashion online sphere, strenghtening the overseas conclusion that “kei” must mean “style” and therefore refers to fashions. While fairy kei is indeed used as a name for this specific 80s-inspired pastel fashion, it’s a lot more common to see it being refered to as just “fairy fashion” in japanese because “fairy-type” is also used to describe plenty of unrelated things. Meanwhile calling it fairy fashion would have been useless overseas for a similar reason and it made a lot more sense to use “fairy kei” instead.

From that point on, the international jfashion community would coin one “kei fashion” after another regardless of the styles actually being known by those names within Japan. Searching the majority of them in their japanese spelling would result in a dead end with many not even making any sense in relation to fashion, such as “mori kei” literally referring to forest types and “pop kei” to anything that’s popular at the moment.

Basically, the lesson of this post is that there is no need to include “kei” in the names of japanese fashion styles unless they are unrecognisable without it, because you are not writting in japanese using the kanji to categorize something by its style. In context of the fashion featured on this blog, it is used to differentiate the overall style genre from the english adjective that is “girly”, but not for its substyles as their names are distinct on their own.

I hope this little language lesson was useful to my readers, and if you have any requests for other jfashion-related terms to introduce or explain - just hit me up in my inbox!

Mortgage Calculator Service in California:

Use the free California Mortgage Calculator to estimate your monthly payment, including taxes, mortgage insurance, principal, and interest.

A mortgage calculator helps in calculating things in a few minutes. Buying a new home is a time of dreams and opportunity, but navigating the mortgage process can also make it stressful and confusing. Different interest rates and repayment terms can make it difficult to compare mortgage loan offers.

Our mortgage calculator should help you understand everything. This helpful tool makes it easy to find mortgage loans and choose the best deal for you.

How to Use This Calculator:

Our mortgage calculator can help you understand how differences in interest rates and repayment terms affect the size of your monthly payment and the total cost of a home over time. Little information is required to get started. Adding a few more details using the calculator's optional advanced options can give you an even clearer idea of what your monthly mortgage payment might look like for different loans.

- House Price: This is the amount you pay the house seller. If you are in the early stages of home shopping, use the seller's asking price for comparison, but remember that this number is negotiable. If you are shopping in a highly competitive market and expect to be one of several bidders, you may want to bid above the asking price. In slower markets or for properties that have been on the market for a longer period of time, a bid below the asking price could be successful. Work with a real estate professional/ Mortgage Advisor to set your bidding strategy.

- Down Payment: When you enter the house price, the calculator automatically fills in the Down Payment field to reflect 20% of the house price. This is the standard down payment required for most traditional mortgages. Many mortgage lenders, including those who make government-backed loans, will accept lower down payments, usually in exchange for higher interest rates and/or fees - and with the stipulation that you pay for mortgage insurance, which you can factor into the calculator's advanced features.

- Term (in years): Enter the number of years required for the mortgage to be repaid. By default, this calculator assumes a 30-year mortgage, as this is the most common home loan term in America. Other standard mortgage terms include 15 years, 20 years, and 40 years. Adjust this number according to the offer you are evaluating. All things being equal, longer mortgage terms mean lower monthly payments, but also significantly higher interest costs over the life of the loan.

- Interest Rate: Enter the interest rate for the loan you are considering. Be sure to enter the interest rate, not the APR (annual percentage rate). These numbers may be similar, but the APR reflects interest costs plus additional financing costs like fees and mortgage insurance.

Quote

We all want God’s care, but we too often want it on our own terms. We tend to dissect His care from His purposes and plan. In our consumer-oriented society, we tend to treat God much like a vending machine in which we drop a coin and choose what we want to satisfy our hunger as we perceive it.

[Image ID: The Miderix flag created by coiner Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023. The flag consists of three vertical stripes and one central, horizontal stripe. From left to right, the vertical stripes are brick red, coral and peach. The central stripe is light blue-green. /.End ID]

Miderix: Describing a Non-Miderian individual that finds a midbinarine gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.

A sibling term of Mascix, Femix, Gynandrix, Neuix & Aphorix.

Etymology

Miderix was created to mirror the paradigm used for Mascix. Femix, Gynandrix and Aphorian.

From English, “Mider” from “Miderian” + “-ix”, an neologistic suffix used by other terms in this genus, originally based upon Apathmascix and Apathfemix coined by user Cybertroniancoining. Miderix was coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023.

Elaboration

Miderix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one’s gender is not miderian, but has midbinarine traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.

More simply, a Miderix individual:

Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Miderian.

Has traits of midbinarinity attributed to them by other individuals.

Considers having traits of midbinarinity attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.

Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.

A Miderix individual is not apathetic to a midbinarine gender attribution, but instead enjoys, appreciate, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts midbinarine traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.

Flag

The Miderix flag was created to match the Mascix, Femix, Gynandrix, Neuix and Aphorix flags. The flag consists of three vertical bars and a central, horizontal bar, forming a tri-color flag with a median line. At the left is the darkest shade of pink-orange, becoming lighter as it moves right. The median stripes is a light blue-green in color. The colors have the following meanings:

The Dark orange, coral and peach stripes represents midbinarine gender attribution.

The light seafoam stripe represents not being Miderian.

The Miderix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.

Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Miderix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like midbinarinity being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels

So... What is Sabukaru/Subcul?

You might have seen images like these all over twitter and instagram lately, tagged as "サブカル" or "サブカル系" and assumed that these tracksuit coords are an up-and coming jfashion with that name - but you'd be wrong.

Sabukaru doesn't mean subculture/subcultural fashion.

Although Google Translate seems to think otherwise, サブカル ≠ subculture. Sabukaru is a slang term refering to a specific type of hipster - people who are into niche trends within subcultures (サブカルチャー) not because they particularly care about a given subculture, but rather want to stand out from the others. This isn't something someone would call themselves - a hipster wouldn't call themselves one, right? No actual sabukaru would tag their pictures that way.

So what's this current fixation on mizuiro and yamikawa?

In 2022, quite a few trends started to appear seemingly out of the nowhere. One is a particular light blue x white colorway (水色 aka mizuiro), another is cutified tracksuits (ジャージ), and then there is also maid aprons being worn over those or oversized yamikawa tops. Initially, they were only popular among people who are considered sabukaru, and therefore became known as sabukaru trends.

If they're popular now, how can those trends be associated with hipsters? Why do people still tag them as sabukaru despite having gone mainstream?

Well... because originally, it was sabukaru creating those trends. Much like how by the time the "American hipster aesthetic" became known in the 2010s, actual hipsters had moved on from chunky glasses, typewriters, handlebar mustaches and craft beers, sabukaru no longer associate with the trends currently associated with them, as they have become mainstream. It's yet another person stereotype with associations that change every once and a while, much like ryousangata. As a matter of fact, the main reason as for why Sabukaru-chan (of the Menhera-chan comics) is named Sabukaru-chan is because she fits older sabukaru stereotypes.

A few older "anatomy-of-sabukaru" pictures are below:

In conclusion:

Despite what online translators says, sabukaru ≠ subculture. Despite what some people claim, sabukaru isn’t a specific style or look. As said, it’s only a slang for someone into niche alternative fashion trends.

Thanks for reading!
