'Core' is always one of the strangest things I notice about internet content. I don't know where the word came from or what exactly it means. But I participate in a lot of 'core'. Nightcore, Breakcore, Speedcore (Ah but, that's all just music isn't it?)

But I am also a fan of the visual aspects of animecore and weirdcore.

Weirdcore feels like uncanny valley central. Comforting but unsettling at the same time. Childish and creepy. There's something about it that I can relate to- and I started to think about my oc Alixander relating to it. She always feels weird, different and out of place while being drawn to the bizarre. So, it's a perfect aesthetic for her.

I got the funny idea for a doodle where she asks some weirdcore entity to be friends. Very on brand for her.
