The rambling of a writer

The obsessions with hoodies (And me hating it)

"She burrowed her head into the fabric. Oh! It smelled like him! She loved almost drowning into the hoodie which on him looked like a decent piece op clothing but on her made up for a nice long dress."

"Ugh, he was feeling so not up for today. A hoodie would suffice. Not like  he had anything better to wear..."

"I got us some matching hoodies! With the soft fleece in the inside! They both giggled with excitement. How could their Christmas be any comfier?"

Maybe I'm just yah old ass millenial, but let's talk about hoodies...

Hoodies seemed to have popped off in forever in fanfic land. THE go to item to show off your character is probably in their late teens or early adulthood. Maybe a college student or gymgoer.
There has been no fanfic I've read in the last three years without the mentioning of this cursed item of clothing.

And yeaaaaaah I get it! Hoodies are comfy! Big front pocket, great hood to hide your face in and Sweaterpaws! *insert jazzhands!*
It's like a permanent blanky you can carry around and hide in for whatever good reason you want.

BUT WHERE'S THE CREATIVITY?!

I mean: There are TONS of comfy pieces of clothing and yet all inexperienced or young writers swear by that stupid hoodie!

And they also like to confuse the shit out of us, because WHAT COUNT AS A HOODIE???
That thing with the hood, front pocket and long sleeves can also:
- Have a zipper in the front. Now it can also be called a vest...
- Have NO Sleeves... 
- Be made out of different materials, but still look like a hoodie
- Have no hood, but the writer still calls it a hoodie...

What about cardigans?! If yo granny loves to wear them, they must be hella comfier than a hoodie, right? I mean, grannies are the best representation about being stylish and comfy in their own way!

Or... just a good ol sweater. Almost the same thing minus the hood, but most of the time made of the same materials and can also be worn like a tent>.>

Whatabout that that comfy shirt?! Your favorite skirt? Or the best pair of slacks!?
Why always the hoodie!

And whatsup with 'it smells like them, so I steal their hoodie' trope?! Bruuuffff if it smells like them, it probably is in dire need of a wash! 
And yeaaah of course you need to like the smell of your SO for them to be a good partner or a good love interest, but what you describe as a 'nice smell' means either body odor.... And that is all but attractive to the rest of society OR their perfume scent... and that's not THEIR scent!
So, bad. Bad you. Put that hoodie in the laundry basket and steal something better. Like, the person itself...

Hoodie hoodie hooooooodie!

So, what to replace the hoodie with?
- Like I said: ANYTHING OTHER COMFORTABLE FOR WEAR!
I see an increase in the fluffy socks? At least ten times more specific and original than the hoodie!
Or... Google the names of different pieces of clothing! 
Like, synonyms for a hoodie are:
Jumper, Pullover, Bunny hug, Jersey, Sweatshirt, kangaroo jacket... 
- Hoodies are heavy! Steal something smaller!
Like... their shawl, gloves, hat... 
- Ugh, hate to say it; but before the hoodie there was the white button-up. The classic hider of tha booty once the morning of their sinful nights arose. Bring back the button up!
- Flannels >.> Cause almost every guy has at least one somewhere in their household!
- And if it's a guy wanting to steal a hoodie --> SHE PROBABLY HAS BLANKETS ALL OVER HER APPARTMENT! Steal those to cover yourself up!

Writers confessions:
I loooooove sweaterpaws.
They are cute to describe, immediatly elevate your protagonist or love interest to the biggest cutiepetootie and come onnnnn they make anyone appearing so much softer than they actually are!
And the FLAPPING around with them?! Hitting people with them? UGGHHH the best!

Until they get wet... Wet sleeves are the worst...

Do I own a hoodie?
I once did, but prefered things without the hood. 
Dis I steal a hoodie before?
Yep... and although comfy, I hated the look of it. Especially those sport or college ones! 
I don't like them. They ugly!

Does my partner have one I can steal?

Hahahahaa.... Nope... I never stole or will steal his clothes. Why?
He's a minimalist... so he owns like near to no clothes... It would be a crime stealing his as he doesn't have much to wear either way. Also... I own like... ten times more clothes? I like my fashion>.>

So... Hoodie?
Yes.... I bought one... A fleece, fluffy blanket hoodie I wear like every winter as soon as I come home and feel coldXD
