about me

It's an internet aesthetic, not a subculture, and that distinction matters more than people think. It surfaced properly around 2018 and blew up on TikTok in 2019 — the name is just "electronic girl", which is as literal as it sounds. The whole look is engineered for a front-facing camera at arm's length: blush high and across, clips in the hair, liner that reads at low resolution. That's why it looks a bit strange in person and perfect on a phone. It was designed for the phone.

Scene is mid-2000s Myspace: teased hair, neon, raccoon tails, and it was built around a real music scene. Kawaii is Japanese cute culture — pastels, plushies, roundness — and it predates all of this by decades. Coquette is the bows-and-ribbons ballet thing, much softer and much more 2020s Tumblr revival. E-girl is the webcam-native one: dark, saturated, a bit gothy around the eyes, always slightly performing for a lens. They borrow from each other constantly and most people are wearing at least two of them at once, including me.

Because a camera flattens your face and blush is how you put the shape back. Sitting it high on the cheeks and straight across the bridge of the nose reads as flushed rather than contoured, which is the whole point — it's meant to look like you just came in from the cold or got embarrassed, not like you did makeup. Go higher than feels correct, and blend it up toward the temples rather than down. Cream under powder if you want it to survive more than an hour. If it looks slightly too much in the mirror it's about right on camera.

Clips grip texture, not clean hair, so freshly washed silky hair is the worst possible surface for them. Day-two hair, or a bit of texture spray, and they'll stay put. Place them in odd numbers on each side and let them go slightly asymmetric — perfectly matched clips look like a school uniform. Small snap clips need a twist of hair folded under before they close, otherwise they're clamping a flat sheet and physics wins. And use more than you think: two looks like an accident, five looks deliberate.

The dye isn't the problem. The bleach is, and split dye almost always means bleaching one half to a very light base so the colour reads properly, which is the actual damage. If your hair is dark you're looking at multiple sessions, not one. Go to someone who will tell you no — a stylist who agrees to take you from black to platinum in an afternoon is telling you they don't mind if it snaps. In between, bond builder, cold water, and accept that heat styling on bleached hair is a luxury you've spent already.

Get the liner right first and add decoration second, because a heart under a wobbly wing just draws attention to the wing. Line the lash line, match both sides, then flick. For the stamps — hearts, stars, dots, whatever — liquid liner with a fine tip and a completely dry base, or you'll drag. Place them along the outer half of the cheekbone rather than directly under the pupil; centred looks like a clown tear and nobody wants that. Set with a tiny bit of powder or it'll transfer onto your glasses within the hour. I speak from experience.

One oversized piece, everything else fitted. The tee is the loud thing, so it should be the only loud thing — if the top is oversized and the outer layer is oversized and the sleeves are oversized you've disappeared. Thigh highs want a gap of visible leg above them; pulled all the way up to meet the hem kills the whole effect. Long sleeves under a short-sleeve tee is the cheat code and always has been. And whatever the outfit is, it's built to be seen from the chest up, so check what it does in a front camera before you commit to it.

Because they're not using a ring light directly on, whatever the ring light industry told you. Flat frontal light is what makes selfies look like an ID photo. Put your main light slightly off to one side and above eye level so you get a bit of shadow under the cheekbone, then bounce something white on the other side to lift it back. Warm key light with a cool source behind you is the entire pink-and-blue look you're seeing and it costs whatever a cheap RGB bulb costs. And clean the front lens — half of all bad selfies are a smudge.

No, and the fact that this gets asked constantly says a lot about how the whole thing got treated. Plenty of people wear the aesthetic and have never opened a competitive shooter in their life, and plenty of women who game don't wear any of it. I happen to do both, badly and well respectively — I'll let you guess which is which. Wear what you like. Nobody is issuing credentials.

Ninety percent completely normal and ten percent exhausting, and the ten percent is loud enough that people assume it's the whole thing. The pattern is always the same: you say one word, the lobby changes, and then you spend the next round managing that instead of playing. Most people who game with a mic on have a stock line ready for it. What actually helps is playing with a regular group so your default lobby is people who already know you, and using the mute button far earlier than politeness suggests. You do not owe anyone a conversation.

It's pop with everything turned up until it distorts — pitched vocals, blown-out bass, sugar and noise at the same time. It came out of the PC Music circle in the mid 2010s, went properly mainstream around 2020, and then split into about nine subgenres that argue with each other. Breakcore is the adjacent one people confuse it with: much faster, chopped drums, usually with an anime sample over the top. If you want a way in, start with 100 gecs for the loud end and Jane Remover for the sad end, and follow whatever the algorithm does next.

Start with the blush and the clips. They're the two cheapest things, they're reversible in ten seconds, and between them they do more than half the work — you can wear them with clothes you already own and nobody will read it as a costume. What actually stops people isn't the makeup, it's the first day of being perceived, and the small version of that is much easier than the full version. Do it at home with the front camera for a week first if you want. That's genuinely how most of us started.

It's a subscription platform. A creator posts things, you pay monthly, you can see them. It works like any other subscription you already have — the only reason it has the reputation it does is that the adult creators on it got far more attention than the fitness coaches and musicians who are also there. You're not buying a person's time or attention by default. You're subscribing to the stuff they make.

The back catalogue on that page, anything posted while you're subscribed, and the ability to send messages. Two things it usually does not cover: content sent as a locked paid message, and anything custom. Pages vary enormously on how much sits in each bucket, which is why it's worth reading a creator's pinned post before you subscribe instead of guessing. Anyone running their page properly says up front what's included.

Depends entirely on the page, and the intuition most people have here is backwards. Free pages don't charge to enter and earn through locked messages and tips instead; paid pages charge monthly and generally include more without extra unlocks. A free page can absolutely end up costing more over a month than a paid one. Neither model is dishonest. Just look at what's included rather than at the number on the subscribe button.

Not the creator's name, and not a description of what you bought. It appears as a company billing descriptor. I'm deliberately not quoting you the exact string because it has changed over the years and I'd rather not give you an answer that's wrong by the time you read it — OnlyFans publishes the current one in their own help centre. If you'd rather nothing showed up at all, people generally use a prepaid card.

Yes — it renews on its own unless you turn that off, and that's the thing that catches most people out. You switch it off yourself under your subscriptions, and doing so doesn't end your access on the spot; you keep it until the month you've already paid for is up. The creator gets no notification and no list of who did it. Honestly, if you only want one month, turn the renewal off the same day you subscribe and then don't think about it again.

Pay-per-view — a message with something locked inside it and a price on the lock. You get a preview, you decide, that's the whole mechanic. It's separate from your subscription and it's how most free pages actually earn. Ignoring all of them is a completely normal way to use the site, and nobody decent is going to treat you differently for it.

No. It's a nice thing, not a fee. If a creator makes you feel like the subscription you already paid for was a deposit and the tip is the real price, that's a them problem and you're allowed to notice it. Tip when something genuinely made your day and you feel like saying so. Otherwise don't, and don't feel weird about it — plenty of long-term subscribers never have.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and you should go in assuming you can't tell. Lots of people run their own inbox. Lots of larger accounts have help, and some are handled by agencies end to end. Nobody's required to disclose it. If it matters to you, ask directly — the straightforward ones will say — and notice whether replies actually engage with the specific thing you said or just keep the conversation warm.

No. There's no screenshot alert on OnlyFans; that idea got imported from apps that do have one. Separately though: what's on there belongs to the person who made it, and putting it anywhere else is both a copyright problem and a genuinely rotten thing to do to someone. Screenshot away. Keep it on your own device.

Two things cover almost all of it: sign up with an email you don't use anywhere else, and pick a username that isn't linked to any of your other accounts. Your display name is the only thing creators see, so make it something you're comfortable with. A prepaid card handles the billing side if that's a concern. And nobody can browse a page and see the subscriber list — that isn't a thing.

Through wherever they post publicly, basically always. Search inside the subscription platforms is genuinely bad, so people find creators on TikTok, X and Reddit, follow the free stuff, and click the link in the bio. That's precisely what this page is. Steer clear of the aggregator and "leaks" sites — they're scraping people's work without asking, half of them are malware, and the content on them is old and recompressed anyway.

It's mine. This site is the only link page I run, and the links on it are the only accounts I post from. If you've found a profile with my photos and a slightly different handle — an extra letter, an underscore, a number on the end — check it against what's linked here first. Impersonators copy the pictures and the bio wholesale, and they're usually easiest to spot by what they ask you for.

No. What circulates as "leaks" is content I posted myself, screen-recorded, recompressed until it looks awful, and reuploaded months later by people selling access to a folder they didn't make. Nothing has been leaked, because nothing was taken — it was published, then copied. Those sites are also a genuinely bad idea to click around on. Everything current is behind the link at the top of this page.

No. I don't sell anything through Telegram, Discord, Snapchat or a reseller, and I will never ask you to send money outside the platform or move a conversation somewhere to "get a better deal". Anyone doing any of that is not me, and the account will be gone within a week. If a link didn't come from this page, treat it as fake.

Loads, and it's noticed more than you'd think. Watch to the end — completion is what actually moves a video. Leave a comment with words in it rather than an emoji. Send one post to one person who'd like it. Don't repost anyone's stuff as your own, and report the accounts that do. That costs nothing and does more for a creator than most tips.
