βΛΰΏ UwU ππΛβ
**Pronounced βoo-wooβ
Omg dis so adorbz I could cry!! πβ¨π Sooo000o0o0, cuteness, as our big-bwain fwend Sianne Ngai explains, is kinda like βpowerlessβ in a widdle baby-powder-puff outfit!! ππ« Itβs all softy-wubby nβ squishy like a marshmallow, making us go βawwieβ and wanna give it cuddles 5everrr!! ππ Buuut wait!! There is sneaky stuff hiding in dat fluff!! πβ¨ In our post-Millennium era, cuteness isnβt just for tiny helpless bebbiesβnope! Now it goes boing-boing between being powerful and powerless, sweet and spoopy-scary π± π» super softy but with a lilβ danger lurking!! π’π€π Itβs like a cute lil rollercoaster of emotions omg!
Soo00o0o0o βΛΰΏ UwU ππΛβ is like a big bear hug with glittery sprinkles where we dive into dis world of cuteness to see why everyoneβs sooo obsessed with it ~ even tho itβs all squiggled up with capitalism π₯ΊπΈπΏ! βΛΰΏ UwU ππΛβ is all about letting the widdle itty bitty βminorβ aesthetics shine bright like bb stars ππ showing how cuteness has sooo many secret surprises nβ spicy layers! πβ¨ Kewtness can be a bit of a naughty beb, revealing sneaky lil truths from the shy, edgy corners of life that feel all soft nβ snugglie but have their own rawr fierceness too!! ππ
