But it’s been coopted into a pioneer-woman style marketing aesthetic, given the original concept was pretty bougie to begin with.

I mean, “American Girl” was a thing back in the 90s. And “Little House on the Prairie” goes straight back to the 70s.

“Cottagecore” is just a new spin on an old fad. And its always been consumerist aesthetic first and foremost, playing on the myth of Rugged Individualism that forms the bedrock of American ideology.

The thing I was referring to is that there’s a whole lesbian subset of the community.

I had no idea that’s a thing. Thanks for letting me know :rosa-salute:

Yep! Because I’ve lived in a cottage/cabin. I’ll just say you eventually either become comfortable with the idea of bugs, mice, and small lizards all over the place (including on you), or you lose your mind.

I find them cute but very dangerous cuz fire.
