I miss my prime (2019)

Thursday, March 19th 2025 "Reminiscing the old coquette community"

How do we feel about this font? I think it's okay, maybe I will use it for future blog posts.

This post might be hard to understand if you're younger or weren't active on tumblr at the time. I started using tumblr in 2019, when I was in 8th grade. Tumblr was the go to place for girls with eds. My best friend at the time also had an ed tumblr. It was pretty common.

Tumblr was how I discovered the coquette/nymphette aesthetic. Nymphette was the more common term at the time. The community seemed different from what it is now. Coquette wasn't just the color pink and bows; it was an aesthetic with many colors and was more vintage Americana-themed. Nowadays, coquette is more dollette. There's nothing wrong with that, but it feels different. Most people in the community bonded over their love for Lana Del Rey, and we romanticized Lolita. Lizzy Grant Summer and Key West Kitten were super popular in 2021; that was a time I remember very vividly. Listening to florida kilos was a daily activity (still is tbh). Wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and wearing gingham print was so fun. Fourth of July 2021, I listened to national anthem in the car on the way to a rural Wisconsin town. What a time to be a teenager.

That time in my life made me the person I am today. There were negative consequences of being in the community, such as being exposed to the older men who wanted to groom you, but all of those experiences made me who I am.

She's the angel on top of the tree

Sugar heart, here she comes

She's goin' to fall on me
