Hello my friends!
I’m coming at you today with some soft and cosy cottagecore questions.
Now I’m not actually a part of the cottagecore aesthetic myself, though I do borrow inspirations from it from time to time. I have a great deal of appreciation for everything that goes into cottagecore, whether it be the aesthetics or the actual lifestyle.
I got these questions from CozyKitsune’s YouTube video.
What is cottagecore?
Before I get into the questions, I just want to give the Wikipedia definition for what Cottagecore is:
Cottagecore is an Internet fashion aesthetic, also described by some sources as a Generation Z subculture, that celebrates an idealised rural life and developed throughout the 2010s until being named on Tumblr in 2018.
Let’s jump right into the questions!
A scent you love?
I couldn’t pick just one, so here’s a quick list:
- Black Tea
- Roses
- Fresh Cut Grass
- Petrichor (Rain on porous rock)
- Tobacco
Road trip or camping trip?
Definitely road trip. I love the idea of going on an adventure in the car – packing a bag and just going places. It’s honestly something I’ve missed in recent times.
Question for you guys though – what is the shortest amount of time for a drive to be considered a road trip – in your opinion?
A song to lull you to sleep?
The “Total Result” music from Devil May Cry 3. It’s a really sombre piece of piano music that I find so soothing.
I also like Aerith’s Theme from Final Fantasy VII and the piano version of Musician from D.Gray-Man.
Three flowers you need in your garden?
I honestly need 4. English Tea Roses, Gladiolus, Daffodils and Pansies. I couldn’t so without a single one of these flowers.
River or Lakes?
I’m going to be difficult and say neither, I prefer the ocean.
If you could have a mini version of any animal, which would you choose?
If I could choose a supernatural creature, I would have to say dragon, what with them being the symbol of my country and all.
If not, I would have to go with either an albino Raven, or a European Magpie.
Cloud-watching or Stargazing?
I honestly really like both, but if I had to pick one, I’d have to go with cloud watching. I just love all of the different shapes that you can see as they float by.
If you could only have one artistic talent, what would it be?
I would have to say either photography or drawing. One of those two.
Pressed or dried flowers?
Pressed flowers. I just think there’s something oddly romantic about them.
If you could be any fictional character for a day, who would you choose and why?
A tough question honestly – though I’d probably have to say the player character from Pokemon Sword and Shield. Not only would I get to catch adorable Pokemon, I’d also get to meet Piers.
Boots or Bare Feet?
Boots.
Marble Statues or Wood Carvings?
I honestly couldn’t pick. I don’t have a clear preference, they both have their charm. One just doesn’t win out over the other for me.
If you had the ability to play any instrument, which would you choose?
Either the piano or the violin – basic, I know.
Lace or Linen?
Lace, definitely – there are just so many beautiful and delicate patterns to admire.
What is the last thing you sewed?
A journal cover for my wife.
Power to talk to animals, or talk to plants?
As much as I would love to talk to trees, I would also love to talk to my cats.
Stone Walls or Wood Fences?
Having grown up in the Welsh countryside, I have to say stone walls. There’s just something lovely about them, especially when they have moss growing on them.
And that is all for these cottagecore questions!
I hope you all enjoyed this little tag post, I’d love to see your answers to these questions if you are interested in answering them!
