Current Favorite TikToks and Reels
Though I don’t have too much interest in creating highly-designed videos myself at this point, I have found a certain amount of escapism in TikTok and IG Reels lately. While I appreciate informative ones, I am gravitating towards the funny, the cute, and the simply entertaining. As such, I thought I’d share some of my favorite TikToks by category, and started out with Cute Animal TikToks. This post is all about my favorite cottagecore, medievalcore, light and dark academia, and cosplay TikToks.
Enjoy!
Cottagecore, Medievalcore, & Cosplay TikToks
This monolith category features some of my favorite escapism accounts. They focus on cottagecore and its derivatives, with lots of pretty nature content, along with general slow living. But there’s also a distinct cosplay aspect of it, a well. Some accounts get so into it that could be a whole other category, really.
At the risk of making this blog post completely impossible to load, I am adding an in-depth list of my favorite accounts. The list also has my favorite videos linked from each creator. Let me know your favorites in the comments!

Cottagecore, Light and Dark Academia, & Princesscore
For me, this category is defined by its romanticism. Often, these feature idealized imagery, with a heavy focus on the outdoors. Personally, I find watching videos like these is a really soothing way to end the day. A word of caution, though: doing so may make you want to abandon city life and run away to some remote moor in the countryside. If this content interests you, check out these flower captions for inspiration on your own cottagecore content!

Medievalcore & Cosplay Generally
This category is a bit broader than the previous. In my mind, medievalcore and cosplay TikTok focus more on entertainment and creative ability rather than ambiance. There is a lot of overlap, though, between the two. Some of my favorite such accounts are comedy based, like @brightbuoy who makes fun of period drama tropes or @embrenn365 who takes on Disney princess type personalities. Others have more of a focus on costuming — accurate or otherwise.
