thats kinda lame..

i find black soothing =w= and it keeps me warm too xD

It is pretty lame. Black has some weird stigma to it that makes it "evil". It's one of the most versatile colors for fashion. Slimming, matches anything, accents any other color, and so much more.

I just hate how people stereotype the color. =(

hello there ouo

There's always going to be one unfortunately. I usually wear all black because it's simple and I don't have to rifle through clothes for a half hour to choose what to wear. The worst part is I only have one jacket, a trench coat. Wearing all black turns heads, a trench coat gets you stopped on the street around here.

And hi there ^_^

Black is often used in art to invoke mystery and fear in art...mainly because black is how we see (or the lack of being able to see) darkness, and what most people can't see or understand is terrifying to them. Artists and writers took advantage of that to make villains and monsters. As villains/monsters become more human, such things become their symbols/tropes...and when people mistake fictional tropes for reality...their stereotypes.

That said, extreme light can be worse - it blinds you and damages your ability to see.

(This has nothing to do with fashion, but with human stereotyping. Uncle Tom from a book nowadays hated for its racist stereotypes, was based on autobiographies of escaped slaves. It was an anti-slavery work which became so popular that many works after it used Tom as the basis of their "black guy character." In its popularity, it went from part of the solution to part of the problem. On a less drastic note, the all-powerful sexy elf stereotype is a romantization of Tolkien's elves - which were a backlash to the number of "foul fey" works at the time. As Tolkien is one of the most well-known writers of today, his elves have become the stereotype, and people breaking away from the mold have returned to the "foul fey.")


....I don't know what I did there other than ramble...

Maybe a bit of a ramble but it all pertains to the subject, a lot more insightful than what I had said.

Well, that's why I follow an tumblr kind of called 'Repair her armor' and it takes pictures of women in games, comics, and other things and makes them more 'realistic' with their armor. Some of the stuff on there is pretty cool to be completely honest. XD

OuO Black Trench Coats = Flashers cause they OBVIOUSLY read too much manga that involve flashers <3 -at least dk does-

I have a trench coat x3 I'm so short so it goes down to my feet almost hehe ouo I tend to look like a kid playing with their parents coats =w=,

I kinda want to get a beige trench and one of those sherlock detective hats and walk around like that acting like i'm stalking someone xD

Damn, you caught me. =P I don't think I'm too short (5'8") but mine goes pretty far down too. Either that or my friends are normal height and I'm just a shorty.

And if you ever get that coat I'll make sure to dress up as Watson and help out.

.-.
I think it might come down t my feet as well. x'D

Haha please don't tell me I'm actually the tallest one in here. =P

<<;
(is only about 5'3")

>.< that's not too short.

I'm the shortest one in my immediate family except my real mother, everyone is taller than me. .-.

Take it as a good thing. Short people are adorable and are likely to rule the world. Just look at Napoleon. =P

hahaha short people :P
