Subtleween Contest Announcement and Rules

CONTEST OVER

Hi, Uttori Dangels. Happy October! Earlier this week, I mentioned that there would be some changes to the blog come October, so as it is the 1st, get ready for some fun! First, what is Subtleween?

Subtleween

{suhtˈl-ween] | Origin: 2016, Always Uttori

Adjective; noun

  1. A holiday celebrated by INTJs that encourages expressing the richness of the Ni in a subtle and fashionable way.
  2. The INTJ way of cleverly and, indirectly, celebrating Halloween.
  3. The contest where one creative Uttori Dangel will win a $100 Amazon gift card by sharing their Subtleween style.

Do you ever find yourself so inspired by a  fantasy world, as expressed in a story or movie, that you want to inhabit that world and take it with you? Maybe you want to be a Tokyo ghoul, or Yuna from Final Fantasy, or, I don’t know, Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. Whatever the case, the inner you and the outer you are very different in nature, but you’re an INTJ. You don’t share your inner world easily. Ah yes, some might say, but what about cosplay? While I admire cosplay and it’s attention to details, putting on a costume and acting the part of a character isn’t the same as sharing your true inner world. Subtleween is about putting on your inner attitude, one that you might keep hidden. That attitude may be inspired by a person, a place, a culture, but ultimately it expresses more of who you are. That’s why Halloween, despite the candy, is insufficient. Trying to celebrate your inner world in one day is crazy!

That’s why we’ve come up with a fun way to embrace the magic inside, not just for one day. Not for two days. For the entire month of October. That’s what Subtleween is really all about, sharing a bit of your inner self with the world around you. It’s part of what we call the Introvert’s Lifestyle Challenge. Throughout the entirety of October, I will be sharing my Subtleween looks. Hopefully, if I’ve gotten it right, the costumes will be subtle and accessible. No one has to know that, in your mind, you are a stormtrooper doing menial paper work on the Death Star— even though you’re really just sitting in the library studying.

Want to share your personal spin on Subtleween? Contest Details follow.
