I wish there was a way to tell who was awake so I could DM them guess I'll slide into all of y'all's timeline rather than DMs. What is the most accepted catch all term for the thing I'm always ranting about, "cottagecore," "pastelpunk," "cartoon or cartoon like soft media"

In the world of anime it's called iyashikei, "healing"

I think that's the best term that most directly captures what you're talking about It's unfortunately one of those anime terms mostly known in Japan When people talk about "moe" like it's a genre of fiction they really mean "iyashikei"

Your other terms are a little too specific, like "cottagecore" means rural/farming stuff, "pastelpunk" literally means "punk outfits but with pastel colors", etc.

Hm, I wonder what I could do to avoid directly using the Japanese term. I don't want to be That Gaijin Who Convinced Everything a Japanese Word Meant Something It Didn't Innocence-punk? Maybe I should just rant against innocence as a concept

About a year or two ago, people used the Danish word "hygge" for that feeling.https://www.countryliving.com/life/a41187/what-is-hygge-things-to-know-about-the-danish-lifestyle-trend/ …

Sure, although mixing up a general word for an overall feeling or desire and a word for a genre of fiction creates exactly the problems Ellie is talking about Like just because I like "thrillers" when I'm picking out movies doesn't mean at all I'm a "thrillseeker" in real life

I don't think the reason Ellie reacts badly to fictional works that emphasize a feeling of "hygge" ("safety") is that she's a thrillseeker who wants to feel unsafe in her daily life Kind of the opposite
