I realized after logging onto this site after a long time away that I never made an official announcement, but! I wanted to let everyone here know that this blog is officially under (most likely permanent) hiatus. Although I don’t plan on posting, this blog will stay up as is to browse. I have zero plans to delete it ever.

I may still hop on from time to time to make sure I haven’t missed any messages, but I no longer post here or browse. I really don’t have the time to dedicate to lots of social media because of my busy real life.

However! I am not gone from the internet! You can still find me semi-active on my blog, idontknowmuchbutimlearning, and actively on instagram, forestsandtea! (I also very occasionally stream on twitch and post on my youtube.)

I live such a busy life now that I don’t have much time to post mori stuff anymore, although I still love it just as much as I always have. But I do post lots of nature pictures and things about my life here in Japan for anyone interested. And I am always available to chat there. You can also find me on the mori kei discord from time to time as well (https://discord.com/invite/GHx2zRGNPj). 

Hope all of you are doing well and hope to see you around on other corners of the internet. I have fond memories of this site, even though I don’t have time to dedicate to this blog anymore.

Best wishes,

Kathryn

What do you find more obnoxious: "mori outfits have to be made entirely of ivory clothes with lace" or "any outfit that is slightly forest-inspired is mori"

I just happened to see this, but just so ya’ll know I don’t use tumblr anymore lol I’m still active on instagram though and my blog!

Definitely the second one. Because forest inspired does not equal mori, although there is an overlap. Mori outfits can be entirely ivory and lace although they don’t have to be, so that one bothers me less. But gatekeeping people in general bothers me, because there is a lot of flexibility to mori. But as I’ve often said, there are also some guidelines and a certain aesthetic that do need to be present to make it mori.

do you know if the mori discord still exists, and if it's accepting new members? the original post about it is under a readmore on a password protected blog, and i can't find any extant invites. i'm sorry if this is intrusive or rude, and if the community is closed to newbies i completely understand

Yikes I never use tumblr anymore so I just saw this, but yes! It is still open and active! Here is a new link that shouldn’t expire anytime soon! 

Hope to see you there, and please make sure to do an intro when you join so you don’t get kicked as spam haha

Not really active on here atm, but since I shared the survey here, I thought I should share this as well. It’s taken a long time, but I’ve finally published the survey results to my “How Mori Is It?” survey I shared earlier this year. Hope you all enjoy!

Hello my deers! I recently shared a survey here that many of you completed. However, after reviewing the data, I realized there was a flaw in my survey so I’ve had to redo it ^^; I’m so sorry to everyone who already participated! But if you have time, please feel free to answer once more at this updated link. I will leave it open for a while so that everyone can answer. Thank you so much to anyone who lends their time.
