from my extensive research in mass-blocking AMC IWTV blogs I have come to the conclusion they are the most basic and boring of bitches tbh

#it's either like #''I'm not like the other girls I dress black and like gawth things from my white middle class home teehee'' #or just #''I am a queer who only watches gay stories that the great media overlords have repeatedly advertised to me #and my lack of self respect means I'll like anything as long as there's gay people in it''

[euargh]

I’m so proud of my sis’. She’s a standup comedian and hosts her own shows. I wish I could be like her, but I can’t drive, I live with my parents, I’m too afraid of people, and I stutter a lot. Plus there’s no events like that down here. The best I can do is entertain people through YouTube videos and bad fanfictions and hope to one day finally build an audience.

#comedy runs in our blood #my mom's dad survived torture in the Vietnam war with making the guards and others laugh #my sis' and i were discussing recently how we both want to die but it's comedy that keeps us going #yeah that's actually why i started writing bad fanfictions long ago lmao #bad things happened to me and so i started writing garfield fanfics to make myself laugh #then i drew graphic fucked up drawings of space and planets to weird out my classmates #i also then started my gawth phase which lmaoooo never ended #shit i guess it was never a phase #rip #why am i telling my life's story here in the tags #wtf #but yeah i do want to 'exit existence' due to how depressed i've been over things #but comedy and inside job and spamton and garfield etc are the few things keeping me going #i love watching snl skits #o shit better stop rambling stupid nonsense #until next time

Rishika Díaz (by @flockofdoves for Masks)

(art by @flockofdoves)

in the year 202X, local Halcyon City newspapers report occasional spottings of a new superhero in town, a teenage girl with portal and teleportation powers calling herself “The Future Violent”.

in a different timeline some ambiguous amount of generations later, capitalism and global warming have gotten even worse, and superheroes are recruited to serve the interests of a few big corporations, who now even more explicitly are in control of the state and have a monopoly on legitimate violence. a 17 year old pores over a very old family photo, family from his dad’s side generations ago, smiling happily in their living room. he hopes that maybe, just maybe, he can take his ability to teleport anywhere he has a clear sensory grasp on to its most extreme, and do something he’s never done before, travel to the the past. to him it feels like the only hope at saving the world.

somehow, they succeed! they pop into their ancestor’s living room right after the picture was taken, aged picture in hand. in stuttering through an explanation in a post time travel haze, the name they’ve always gone by is misheard as Rishika, and on a whim, they go along with it.

rishika’s family (who are now referred to as her aunt, uncle, grandma, and nieces and nephews) fully accept rishika into their home. rishika is open with them from the beginning about their goals of stopping evil corporations, which is all well and good to their family as long as he’s safe about it, but he still needs to go to school and get decent grades while he’s at it.

using their powers for something as extreme as time travel has scrambled their brain a bit. their memory of the future is very spotty. in their meandering first attempts at stopping evil corporations, they end up encountering two other teens with powers from their school, and begin to work as a superhero, getting involved with situations not directly related to preventing their future, developing a costume and superhero name, and omitting all this while talking with family so as to not worry them too much.

when the first news reports of Rishika’s team’s activity refer to The Future Violent as a girl, for some reason rishika really enjoys that. she might as well have her teammates always refer to her as such when in costume, after all it’ll help make it harder to find out her secret identity as a boy!

when not spending increasing amounts of time embroiled in heroic situations, rishika loves getting to listen to long lost recordings of their favorite “retro” emo bands, running a fanblog for future revolutionary martyrs and now famous on the local scene band made up entirely of superheroes, The Gawth Chix, and modifying clothes in baffling ways (her friends aren’t sure what is future fashion and what is just rishika being rishika).

coming from their even more abysmal capitalist propaganda filled future education, history is by far their favorite school subject, but their history teacher is never quite sure what to do with the combination of their clear enthusiasm and huge gaps in basic historical knowledge.

rishika is open about casually mentioning they came from the future, but theres no real precedent for that, and most people just dismiss it as some sort of weird joke.

between their gaps in memory and knowledge both of past and future, juggling a new and dramatically different school system, a new family life, and a new identity as a superhero, and the nagging but vague feelings about identity starting to emerge for them, rishika has a lot of growing and reflecting to do, even as she feels the constant weight of saving the entire world on her back!

(a note on pronouns: if its not obvious, i intend rishika to be a trans girl or nonbinary transfem person who has not really consciously connected that for herself yet, but who is on the way to soon realizing that. in school and at home she uses he pronouns by default, but uses she pronouns in her superhero identity. her closest friends are also her superhero teammates, and they have started to occasionally slip up and use she and they pronouns even sometimes outside of superhero contexts. despite how this technically could help people connect her hero and personal identities, she hasn’t corrected this any time its happened, instead just privately going like .’whoa..’ when referring to her as a character, i mostly use she and sometimes they, but he can contextually make sense too like how i used it here. so feel free to use your judgement when referring to her)

Benedikt Ignatov (by @19orionis for Dungeons & Dragons)

(art by @19orionis)

Benedikt has learned not to fly off the handle very often, appearing relaxed and even at times sleepy, making his disastrous slip-up (more on that below) all the more difficult for him to think about. In daily life, he’s a chill, artsy guy, who, aside from living off the land, occasionally ventured into town to sell his colorful work. He says the occasional weird, funny thing and would be a great guy to smoke with. Despite not having as much in the way of physical strength as one might expect, his tall, large stature lends him skill in quiet intimidation. Initially coming off as a chaotic neutral, he does find fulfillment in listening to and protecting those who need it.

After being robbed and accidentally decimating his home woods in a firey rage of his own making, mortified, Benedikt fled his home continent by stowing away on a ship, and traveling to a new frontier where he is currently posing as a naturalist researcher, using his sketching abilities and background as a forester to make the act all the more convincing. As a totally human sorcerer with wild magic, he’s never had any idea where his powers came from, and is using the adventuring opportunity to hopefully gain some insight on what he is. And maybe find some community along the way. He’s always wanted a nicer family.

Subgenres Exist: Goth Metal is Goth

Anyone ever notice how absolutely mean those "all about the music" Goths are online? I've watched them dogpile, bully, and harass people over "ThE MuSiC" and feel perfectly justified.

Quite honestly, I'm just sick of it. Their awful behavior shows that they really aren't "about the music" at all.

They use music as false justification to keep people out, treat people badly, and make themselves feel more elite. A prime example being Gothic Metal.

The typical response of the "AbOuT ThE MuSic" crowd is to say, "Metal isn't Goth". Which is a bad argument as it completely ignores the reality of subgenres.

A subgenre is the combination of one or more genres. Bands that mix genres are part of both parent genres simultaneously. Such as Amebix being a Punk band and a Metal band at the same time. Likewise, bands within a subgenre won't sound exactly like the parent genres.

According to the "aLl AbOuT ThE MuSiC" crowd, "real Goth music" sounds like The Sisters Of Mercy. And, anything that doesn't sound like this isn't "real Goth". So, what about the bands that mix Metal and Goth Rock?

Their next argument often is, "You have to actually HEAR the Goth Rock influence in the music or it isn't Goth". This is another flimsy attempt at gatekeeping as there are several bands that audibly sound like the Sisters of Mercy mixed with Heavy Metal influence:

And let's not forget that Paradise Lost played at Whitby Goth Weekend alongside Fields of the Nephilim:

If they were truly "all about music", they'd have no issue with including ALL bands that fit their criteria even if they don't like it personally. But they don't and continue to present false arguments to try and "prove" why the above bands "aren't real Goth".

It just shows that they'll continue to move the goalposts so they don't have to be associated with people they don't like. Goalpost movers be like:

I wouldn't be surprised if someone responded to this creating new nitpicky rules that conveniently excludes these bands from the "Tr00 KVLT Gawth band criteria".

As a genuine fan of music, I can't take people like this seriously. You don't have to like it. But if you're going to shove your criteria down everyone's throats you better be consistent.

Pete?

thank you for the ask! (from this ask game)

1: sexuality headcanon - absolutely pathetic bisexual

2: otp - idk but i'm open to a lot of things! petweek stuff i've seen is cute and also i do think he'd be in love with both henrietta and michael. i've seen pete/stan in passing and would like to know more

3: brotp - pete + all the other gawths pretty much canon. i do like him and the other goths being friendly with tweek (maybe it was oculus, maybe it's my own derangement. who can rly say!!!)

4: notp - none that i can think of in particular but i do imagine a lot of his interests being one-sided

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

elaborating on the above, i can see him crushing easily and crushing hard. he's embarrassed of it, but he strikes me as a sap. he seems a bit more sensitive than henrietta and michael and certainly firkle (that kid is hardcore goth)

6: favorite line from this character

this speech from a deleted "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" scene. he likes dogs 🥹 more basis for potential stan/pete tbh (pete/stan animal shelter volunteers fic WHEN)

7: one way in which I relate to this character

i was a high school goth

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

like i said, goth, so the goth kids' whole thing is a lovingly embarrassing performance of that. it's a subtle self-cringe because matt and trey clearly know enough about goths to be able to lambast them so well. when someone roasts you well, you laugh along. love these kids lots

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

i guess more of a cinnamon roll overall. the line about not wanting to live in a third world country with all the other conformists was pretty problematic but it's south park (and more seriously, kyle telling him to go live in a "third world country" if he wants to know real pain is so gd boomer it's hard for me to take that interaction seriously beyond cringing at tratt. cmon bro u sound like my grandma)

also he likes DOGS!!!

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Small Announcement on my Craft:

I’m still very much going to be doing my pink, fluffy, and rainbowy witchcraft, and all that sweetness, but I’m also going to be delving into the darker parts of witchcraft, such as death, decay, bones, and all of the things considered gross and ugly in a bad way, as well as terrifying.

(NO, I AM NOT DOING NECROMANCY. EVER. THAT IS A SPECIFIC PRACTICE THAT I AM NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE MADE FOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. -3-)

I’ve learned through my craft of being a witch who worships all things life and sunny and bright… that there is utter beauty in all things bleak, morbid and gross and ugly. And I believe that appreciating and learning more about death, decay, and bones is a great way to also appreciate life much more than i already do. Because you cannot have life without death.

(Nobody should be made to practice anything, by the way. This is just my perspective, and mine alone.)

I’m very excited about this, especially as a witch who is also a GAWTH (goth), and who already loves, and appreciates the darker parts of life anyway. This will also make me feel less fearful of death, because in the past I definitely was, as someone who has severe anxiety, and had severe hypochondria as a child that is still somewhat lingering now. And I may still be somewhat fearful, but at least I’ll still appreciate it more than I fear it.

I’m also going to learn more about spirits, ghosts, and souls.

I definitely believe in souls and spirits, and that they are capable of having all sorts of negative, positive and neutral energies. I also believe that the living are capable of having energies and souls within them. And I also believe that there is something beyond death.

I’m not sure what, I simply feel it.

There is energy all around us, whether you see it or not. It’s there.

I’m not going to talk about it here, however. I’ll have another blog specifically for this, so that things won’t get mixed up.

Manuscrit persan illustré, publié en 1602 par Muhammad Gawth, Washington, Smithsonian, National Museum of Asian Art.

Bahr al-Hayat ou "Océan de vie" est un manuscrit persan illustré par Muhammad Ghawth Gwaliyari (1500–1562). Il présente les asanas de yoga utilisés pour la méditation. Probablement un des premiers manuels illustrés de yoga.
