not sure what counts as niche but this is quite specific for it to not be niche

In a world of mass consumption and fast fashion, upon researching some pretty niche designers, there is a subsect of artisanal fashion designers that make clothes that look like they are from the 1800's. Fully hand made, its awesome. Check out the link for a spreadhseet on all these designers. It took me forever to make lol

I like watching older movies and sort of figuring out a fit by doing a very casual cosplay / recreation. pulpy 70s sci fi is a bed of inspo for this. Logan’s run inspired me to buy green tights from the halloween section to pair w my more floaty tops/tunics. Biggest thing is to be a critic and then ask yourself why you like something or don’t, this helps not just w individual outfit info but developing / keeping true to your tastes.
Also watching the current runway shows on Youtube is a lovely way to experience high fashion, art, music, etc in one. A fun and worthwhile way to spend an afternoon for anyone even vaguely interested in or curious about fashion imo.
Look critically at the fits and what you like and why you like it, what’s successful, what colors or silhouettes are you gravitating towards, etc. Then revisit some old fashion shows too, old Mughler is so fun imo and the Alexander McQueens are campy vampy classics.
You really don’t need to look to anyone who is your peer or contemporary for fashion advice, look above and beyond and scale it down for your personal style / lifestyle.

Found footage film series by the director of Noroi: The Curse and Occult and I.M.O. the best the genre has to offer. Great image-making is hard to come by in found footage, but the good thing is that most of the films that do it well do it *really* well, & these are at the top. The thing about this series though is that you really do have to watch the whole thing, or at least the first 7. But they more or less keep getting better and better with each entry so it's worth it af. 6 is my favorite (pictured below)
If u like paranormal investigation media, this starts out as a pretty endearing spoof of that stuff, but it very steadily develops into something much bigger than can be expressed with the words on a pi.fyi post. Vast, jaw dropping, cosmic terror. If you don't have shit going on spring break this would be perfect to binge.
And it's all on youtube with beautiful fan-translated subtitles (linked)! 2025 is the year of Senritsu Kaiki! Get in on the ground floor!

i found out late last year that it is so joyous to run while intoxicated.. when i buy a house, i will also buy a treadmill and i will drink every night and run [theoretically infinite] until i'ts my bedtime. then i will go and sleep a sleep that is inborn with love and joy. like a hamster.
