you commented a bit on things that are somewhat connected, but my big thing i think is the "gap" - like, i wear skirts almost daily, i have 20 pairs of colored/patterned tights, and i look goddamn adorable every time i leave my house to go to work. and then i go bust high schoolers for being pieces of shit, and they are scared of me, and it's awesome. the other day they said i was "kawaii (cute)" and "kowai (scary)" at the same time, and that is the exact aesthetic i am going for so something must be working. i'm a tough bitch but i dress like a girly girl and i like that i surprise people. keeps them all on their toes, y'know?
