More random takes but my biggest problem with ouji fashion is 1. A lot of it isn't nearly as good quality as old school lolita pieces and often has a very cosplay feel to it, 2. For a masc equivalent fashion, it isn't actually very friendly to masc bodies. And by that I'm not just talking about fit, as a decent amount of stuff is made in male sizing (at least given how few brands make ouji to begin with). Given that lolita fashion fits such a classically fem silhouette, I'd love something that works more with classical masc styling. Sure, the full shorts might work from a historical point if you go far back enough, but that hardly translates to the stylistic feel of the pieces, which does skew more towards late 18th and early 19th century imo, if not early 20th century schoolboy. Give me emphasis on shoulders. Give me fitted bottoms and high waists. Give me cape coats and Eton collars and emphasis on the neckline to contrast where lolita emphasizes the skirt! Give me a cut that goes for dramatic and frilly masculinity, not something that takes lolita principles and just says "what if there was a seam at your crotch"

#ive seen a lot more interest in ouji recently!!! #and i want the options to match that interest #ouji fashion #i know Gothic aristocrat is a thing but even that is limited #i just think ouji has more potential #ive seen some indie brands go for a more formal schoolboy look and its 10 times better imo #i say this all with love in my heart for the fashion #altho im also a bit of a critic for modern trendy lolita #the prevalence of ott coords as the norm is also looking very cosplay esque to me

Gothic Lolita

Cinderella? Nah It’s Mizu(Ella?) Clothes practice 🩵 I saw a gothic Lolita suit for sale on twt and just gotta draw Mizu in that 🥺 Not really sure it falls into the gothic Lolita but it was a gothic Lolita clothing brand so I just assumed it was

Old drawing

Little witch Hoshiko

Took me a while but I've finally finished an illustration of my new OC Hoshiko Yukimura, capturing all of her awkward joy as she's posing in her costume for Halloween, ready for her debut adventure. And since she's a magical girl in denial, the costume I chose for her couldn't be anything else but a witch, a somewhat under-represented archetype in cyberpunk settings.

She loves this stuff, being in costume, looking all pretty and magical, but she feels too much under pressure to ever admit it. She holds herself to a higher standard as somebody who's professional, mature and beyond such frivolties, and she repeats it often enough that she managed to convince herself as well. What can be misconstrued as an uneasy forced smile from outside is actually her doing her best to keep her giddiness in check and to try not make a big deal out of being in costume.

Thanks for reading! Here's a few variants, if you'd like to check them out.

I read a summary of what grunge used to mean, before companies got ahold of sanitizing it. And realized yeah okay the original definition matches me. My sister grew up as original grunge as a counterculture fashion movement started up, and I think looking at her and wanting to be like her I probably picked up the idea. Likewise with punk and my mom I think.

#rant #in the sense of like. grunge being wearing whats cheap and comfy. making it last and wearing things until they break. #grunge being makeup thats NOT perfect and that might be a day old or looks like it #(which modern grunge makeup tutorials the instant they use settjng spray or primer or multiple X products of same typw #have already failed. grunge makeup was u can put it on in a short time. or do it up before a band show but #just touch up ur eyeliner or some small thing thw next day and keep wearing it) #grunge makeup was the opposite of modern wear 10-20 makeup products and look perfect #for camera on instagram. #and i do my makeup the old grunge way. i prioritize speed and convienience to me and i like #things looking a bit imperfect and realistic #and clothes like. the punk idea of going against the grain. doing what y want and doing it Loud #wearing bold things that dont necessarily conform. making ur own idea of what looks good #not followjng set rules and modifying ur xlothes as desired. #so like. in Lolita a fashion i like. i find myself leaning to gothic and punk lolita. but punk a lot #because its the lolita substyle most likely to Want to break lolita standards and use some but not all #and combine stuff not normally combined #bjt it means often punk lolita doesnt even get comsidered lolita by lolita communities #and it just. im sure my attitude toward rule abiding fashion trends came from punk expectations? #if that makes sense #like. im sure me caring so fucking little for trend rules and so much for what i find personally fun and loud

[meringuejellyfish]

the mh 2020 (?) resurgence sucked. why were people calling draculaura an e-girl

#nothing worse than people redesigning mh characters to be in modern fashion and its just the most boring art in the world .... #draculaura ... (was) based heavily on gothic lolita fashion. whats not to get #im so particular about mh redesigns. but also theres so much potential and almost nobody sees it #kills you 1000 #mh fashion design started sucking long before the reboot also #like around 2015 most of the dolls just had basic minidresses and limited to no accessories and lost all style #something i think about is how originally draculaura was to wear outfits that covered her sleeves and stuff. to just be very decorated #(because of the whole vampire thing) #but then they started putting her in (boring) sundresses .. because ...? its cheaper #goodbye defining style trait :-( #i just miss when she had that parasol

[hiyari8]

lol there's prolly more fanart but idk what kinda songs would have 'lolita' vibes. there might be some 'menhera' songs though because it embraces the darker stuff. isn't miku's outfit in her "Vampire" song kinda 'jirai kei' inspired?

hmm i think off the top of my head something akin to what i had in mind would be shoujo ningyou no mita yume by hitoshizukuxyama

#vampire miku is obviously cute but hoenestly i physically can't listen to deco it makes my head hurt for some reason #i'm aware that my classification doesn't make much sense really i'm just saying shit in the tags that makes sense to me only lol #i guess by lolita vibes i meant to say like... classical-adjacent? classical as a catch-all term not just the classical period specifically #which does seem like quite the niche amongst most producers focusing on modern tunes of various kinds #a vocaloid album that's like the album gothic opera by ali project would be neat #ask

What alternative subcultures the Creepypastas would be in!!(pt 1)

This was an ask I accidentally deleted! Oops! I also listen to all the music I put in here! So it’s also a small glimpse into what I listen to! Also as some of you know I’m in the scemo and goth subcultures! But I know a lot about alternative cultures period so this was fun to make!

LJ: VICTORIAN GOTH 100%!! / Victorian Circus Core

I mean he’s literally from that era

The feathered shaw, the black and white color scheme, the black lipstick and guy liner with the pale white face!!

Literally a goth king. That’s an outfit I would definitely see at a goth club!(I’ve been to many)

Another part of goth culture is liking horror/ monsters. Since LJ is a monster he’d fit right in!

He’d be accepted by most goths despite his looks bc goths have morbid dark fashion senses themselves!

So if they saw his swirly cone nose and sharp teeth they’d be like: omg! I love your look!

He’d definitely listen to classical music and other goth music Specifically Switchblade symphony and Cocteau Twins

He definitely listens to old PATD

I can see him wearing other Victorian inspired clothes too!

Like dis:

Jeff: Metalhead/ with 90s emo(for nostalgia.)

I mean look at him

He’d definitely shit on nu metal and still listen to it

The long greasy black hair, not showering, thinking he’s better than everyone else yeah sounds like a metal head to me/ hj

He listens Cattle Decapitation, Peeling Flesh, Suicide Silence, Cannibal Corpse, Avatar and literally anything with machine gun drums

He listens to some 90s emo but will never admit

Definitely wears band shirts especially the ones he got from concerts when he was a teen

He loves a good mosh pit

You know, the ones where you come out all bloody?

Yeah he loves those

He can hurt people in them and it’ll be fine? Sign him up! (Man has no pit manners smh)

Definitely a metal elitist

“You like SOAD? Ugh that not REAL metal”

Stfu Jeff.

Yeah. Metalhead to his core.

LJill (I love her, so underrated)

Victorian goth as well, but she leans more in the gothic Lolita side of it

Wears pretty gothic Lolita dresses with lots of black and white lace, buttons and she’ll have a matching bonnet and parasol to match when she’s feeling extra fancy!

She feels so elegant and feminine when she puts her multiple layers of petticoats on! She wouldn’t be caught dead without them!

Her makeup and lipstick is always perfect.

Her hair is always either perfectly curled or perfectly straightened

The goal is to look as doll like as possible ( also because she is one!)

She listens to music box like music if that makes sense?? For example Swan Lake by Fairy Lullaby or Porcelain Eyes

She, like LJ listens to classical music and goth music

But mainly classical and music box!

Will go to tea parties and knows how to make tea cakes and sandwiches

Just a lady all around!

Jane: Trad Goth/ Casual Goth/ Amy Lee

Since Jane is always on the move and doesn’t really have time to get all dressed up

So she’ll usually be in a simple black dress or black pants and a turtleneck

But when she does get a chance to dress up

She dresses trad goth mixed with Amy Lee

She’ll have her hair long with bangs covering her forehead

Trad goth makeup, but a bit more modern,big eyeliner and arched brows

She’ll be wearing corsets and waist trainers

Long skirts, ripped leggings

High heel platforms

She goes all out and she looks great!

Listens to music like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Years Day and The Birthday Massacre

Can do goth dances very well

God she’s beautiful

Toby: Midwestern Emo/ early 2000s emo/ a tad grunge/ indie

He just looks like one tbh

But seriously he had a hard life and emo music gives him comfort

Toby wears flannel shirts, grandpa sweaters, simple tee shirts and pants that are loose but not too loose

Hiking boots, sneakers

He listens to Chidos, The Front Bottoms, State Champs, Real Friends, Nirvana, Yawning, Hail the Sun, The Used, A Lot Like Birds, Static Dress, Mild High Club and many many more

He can play the guitar, drums and sing pretty well

He needed something to keep him busy while he was homeschooled after all! And it took his mind off of the horrible things he was going through

Plus with him feeling no pain, he could practice his hands bleed so his hands are really calloused

He likes to sit in the woods and just listen to music sometimes

He’s a loner like that

Especially in the fall when the leaves are so pretty

He feels almost peaceful. Almost

EJ: Tbh I can’t put him in a single box I feel like he’d be everything

He’ll listen to whatever whenever

Except religious music it freaks him out

Ya know because of the cult that took his eyes

But I see him liking dark ,dreamy music if that makes sense

His taste actually lines up with Toby’s pretty well

Static dress, MGMT, YKWIM by Yot Club, Homage by the Mild High club, My Bloody Valentine, Grouper

Also anything with sad guitars like wish by sign crushes motorist (Toby likes music like this too)

Sometimes even lo-fi if he has to unwind

Jack wears all black most of the time. Just so he doesn’t look too dirty

Black hoodie, black shirt, black pants, black shoes

He also feels like any other color won’t go with his now grey skin

But yeah EJ is just a dude with a wide music taste

We love that for him

Nina: Obviously Scene+Emo= scemo

Do I even have to explain?

She listens to Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens, Bring Me the Horizon, Paramore, AFI, FOB, Get Scared, Hey Monday, MCR, Ghosttown, Millionaires, Brokencyde, Medic Driod, Dot Dot Curve, A Skylight Drive, ISMFOF ,everything Toby listens too as well(and many more)

Nina wears either all black with colorful hair or has her signature black and pink with more colorful outfits

Cheeta print, skulls, DIY stuff, band shirts, tube tops, tutus, skinny jeans, brass knuckle necklaces, hoop earrings, black eyeshadow, big teased hair with raccoon tails

Yeah she’s 2000s emo fs

Goes to raves and concerts like crazy

But she’s not opposed to any kind of music and will do goth makeup for fun

And wear Jane’s clothes

She thinks goth is really pretty but it’s just not her

She’ll stick with scemo lol

Jason The Toymaker: Steampunk/ Victorian Circus Core

The copper in his clothes

The bright red hair

The long flowing jacket with intimate details

Yeah he’s definitely steam punk

Im not sure what kind of music steampunks listen to but I’d like to know!

Jason definitely listens to Emilie Autumn and old PATD

BEN: EDM

I mean…it was obvious

Skillix, deadmouse, xxxanteria, Luci4, old Flying Lotus albums, 9lives

He’s literally code so I think he’d like it

Not much else to say here tbh

I’m getting tired so lmk if you want a part 2 lol

VAMPIREKIN TIPS

Hey fellow vamps! Here is a list of tips that give me euphoria but absolutely feel free to modify these to your liking. Vampires can have any style and vibe so remember to do what feels right for you!

Eat foods with blood in them or rare beef! Blood sausage and blood pudding, to name a few! Here’s a wiki for more options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_as_food

Drink red drinks: energy drinks, hibiscus tea, pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, etc

Enjoy the feeling of biting into ripe fruit - so easy, very satisfying… I feel like it’s alike to fangs on skin

Wear black cloaks / clothes / gothic wear / gothic lolita fashion / etc etc

Keep a journal all about your vampirekin. Decorate it and such! I use this as a bullet journal and it’s mainly in use at night.

Music! Make some vampiric playlists for yourself. I recommend classical and organ music

Look after your skin! “Vampire skin”

Get and light some red candles, black candles or, even better, bleeding candles. Bleeding candles can be found on Etsy or Amazon!

Exploring decades of history and researching about historical accounts of vampires

Play A Thousand Year Old Vampire! An amazing tabletop journaling solo DnD game where you play as a vampire and write a journal for them. I can’t explain to you how euphoric this is… just amazing.

Vampire DnD in general is euphoric to me (putting this here incase folks can’t afford the precious game!) Look on https://itch.io for free solo DnD and other indie games!

Read vampire stories, watch vampire movies!

Wear fake fangs and get some fake blood for comfort <3

Create a Pinterest board based on your vampirekin

Decorate your room with gothic items! Interior design goes a long way - for example, I keep a few Halloween decorations up that are bat and vampire related!

If you’re spiritual, get vampire / gothic tarot decks!

Painting with acrylics- paint done pomegranates, I don’t know why, very euphoric.

Buy a coffin made to be a bed! Of course, if that isn’t available to you then make your bed coffin-esc. You can do this with getting gothic bed sheets, arranging some cute bat plushies, having a veil over your bed etc… which reminds me-

Buy bat plushies!

Go out safely at night and gaze at the moon when she’s out. Appreciate the silence and beauty of the night.

If you are able to do so, pull an all nighter. Please don’t do this if you have responsibilities the next day, are chronically disabled (aka you can’t stay up all night for your own health), etc.

Get your nails done! Coffin shaped or nice and pointy! Look on Pinterest for some design inspo

Try out some vampiric makeup, get creative!

Research the different kinds of vampires!

Research the differences and overlap between IRL Vampire/Modern Vampire and Vampirekin

Take gothic photos with vampiric vibes. Filters, editing, soft light and outfits can help

Find community! Vampirekin spaces online and tags can really help feel like you are a part of a collective community and less alone

RED LEDS! Very useful for me and very comforting - I have bat shaped LEDs

Go on Victorian house tours or explore Victorian-like houses! Gothic houses are very pretty from the outside but the inside is even more astonishing! If you can’t go in person, watch a YouTube video!

If you’re a vamp who isn’t keen on sunlight, stay in the shade, get sunglasses, get a gothic sun umbrella and wear sunscreen!

Create picrews of your vampirekin self

Enjoy cathedrals, cemeteries and graveyards at dusk/night. Just enjoy the liminal energy and calming space.

Go to abandoned churches!

Get athames/ritual knifes. I’m a practitioner so I use it in my ritual work but honestly you can get it for the vibes!

Write love letters to yourself, vampires are confident - self love 2023 <3

Get lovely silver candle holders

Gift yourself a dried flower bouquet <3 Dried roses look and smell amazing!

Get red bath bombs! Bathe in a soothing red bath 🫶🏾

Get chew stim toys if you have biting stims or urges

If you have a garden, get night blooming flowers! A lovely lil nocturnal garden

If you have bats around then watch them at night! We only have a few where I live but it’s a delight to see them fly about.

Study tips: do so by candle light, annotate everything, red/pink highlighter, important notes in red pen

Tell yourself some vampirekin affirmations!

Vampirekin Affirmations

My fangs are stunningly sharp, I love how they glisten in the moonlight!

I am lookin’ vampiric today!

My experiences as a vampirekin are completely valid.

I am valid even if I don’t have fang shifts.

I am valid even if I don’t have blood lust.

I am valid even if I have a phobia of blood.

I radiate vampiric energy and I attract those alike to myself.

I am a master of self love, acceptance, and monstrous energy.

I’m a vampire. I’m literally the main character AND the fan favorite.

I am worthy of respect.

I am a vampire. I am doing the best I can.

I accept myself as I am.

Hazel reading Black Butler and her little gothic lolita heart starts holding up pages of Ciel in overtly fancy clothes next to Nico and making mental notes.

He is not at all suprised when she "randomly" brings up how he'd look nice in one of the outfits one day and maybe he could dress up with her and go to "one of those convention things, that could be fun, part of my modernization immersion stuff, and whatever, you know, could be fun, what do you think"

#hazel levesque #nico di angelo #happy talks pjo #i bet she'd love going to conventions though #anyway someone draw hazel in the pink dress for me thanks hugs and kisses
