#this is coming from a goth

[neon-junkie]

Munson simps, I am BEGGING half of y’all to do your research on metalheads, and the metal community.

A lot of y’all are portraying Eddie as this indie kid/sadboi, which is like… almost the total opposite of who Eddie is.

Metalheads may have hard exteriors, but we are total saps! However, we have a history of being the victims to abuse, harassment, and in some cases, murder. (Sophie Lancaster is, sadly, a good example of this.)

Whilst metalheads came to rise around the 70’s, harassment in the ‘alternative community’ has been around since the beginning of time.

Goths, punks, emos, scene kids, metalheads, etc, have all been targets to constant abuse. PLEASE do a small dive into their history, and remember this when writing/portraying Eddie, and other alternative characters.

We are not ‘cute uwu,’ we have our walls high due to a history of being the target of torment. I cannot stress this enough!! Please dont wipe our history away, and portray us in a different light, just for your 800 word wattpad fanfic.

Thank you \m/

sorry for those who disagree but goth and industrial are like sisters and best friends. i don't even think of opposing them. i don't seperate them. they live under the same roof.

#i get the need to label music but come on #look at a list of songs from a 90s club and tell me what's goth and what's industrial #also i remember goth magazines from the 2000s that featured goth industrial and even metal sometimes #it's okay you can like several music genres........ #you don't have to like both but they definitely share something #(this is mainly for reddit.........) #talking to myself

my thigh pouches built in snaps werent strong enough to keep it closed while moshing so i replaced them with some heavier duty belts 😈

#goth #trans #transgender #lesbian #the belts coming up from the bottom cuz i felt they would look better coming out of the diagonal zipper #insteat of an awkward rivot on the top flap #imo it would look a bit too makeshift for my liking

personally i think the backlash coming from de-gothing gerry has less to do with peoples personal and differing headcanons and more to do with the fact that as soon as he was mentioned to be happy, people could no longer see him as goth. which is. Not Good. as a goth, there are very few examples of happy goths in media, because people subconsciously equate being goth with trauma or mental illness. and this isn't to say that people whose goth identity overlaps or is directly connected to their trauma or mental illness are wrong or invalid! It's actually the opposite. again, you can headcanon him however you want it's all up to you, but i have seen people saying that because he is happy there is no longer a need for him to have "badly dyed hair" or to be goth, as if these are universal indicators of someones happiness. i'd urge you to think about the implications of that.

#this is coming from someone who is mentally ill and goth by the way #and yeah people can have badly dyed hair and be goth BECAUSE they are sad and thats okay #but to assume this is the universal measurment (even subconsiously) of happiness or stability is wrong #from my personal experience i and other goths have felt happier after becoming involved in the scene and subculture #and this isnt me stopping you from headcanoning him as not goth by the way that would be absurd #its just important to try and realise that sometimes we have subconscious beliefs or biases about certain groups #stickers lore #tmagp #gerry keay #tma

this got entirely out of hand

(for those who missed it: au/idea where Normal gets fully sick of everyone's ignoring his pleas for empathy and abandons the quest to join the Doodler and be the Final Boss)

#dndads #dndads 2 #dndads spoilers #normal oak #the doodler #more sketches of this coming in the future cause it has dug itself a hole in my brain at this point #kineticallyart #fanart #aus #I'm so caught between wanting Normal to be a paragon #always full of hope and for that hope to win out in the end #at the same time #i want Will to just flex on everybody and let Normal go to his final peak gross form #of dripping with eldrich ooze #completely sweeping the goth crown out from under Scary's nose #be The Dark One dew it

I haven't even started Leah's romance route yet but I've already got their entire relationship and dynamic mapped out in my head.

Rambling into the void, but my female farmer OC, Mili, is basically a female himbo. I'd like to think that she doesn't really get all the passive aggressive jabs Leah makes to the farmer in the beginning of the game, and it makes Leah feel kinda bad abt it later on. As they grow more familiar with each other, I'd believe Mili's tenacious attitude eventually wears down Leah's defensive walls and she starts to grow fond of Mili and her lil' antics (much to Leah's own horror).

And since Mili is kinda airheaded but kind, she's easy to take advantage of, even if others don't exactly have any ill intentions. This would start to annoy Leah as she sees Mili running around helping everyone and their dog around town, and she starts to get kinda overprotective of Mili, and chastises her for never being able to say no to anyone (both farmer siblings are like this tbh). I kinda headcanon that Leah hates Scott bc 1. She's lowkey jealous that Mili and Scott hang out a lot in the mines (but she can't bring herself to go to there herself, its gross and dirty and also there's no reception) but mainly bc 2. She thinks Scott is absolutely full of shit with his museum that exists purely due to all the donations Mili makes to it, but he essentially takes all the credit for. Mili disagrees, but regardless, Leah and Scott don't get along.

After they start dating, Leah becomes an overprotective but proud gf who loves showing Mili off to her followers. The only thing is that she despairs over Mili's lack of fashion sense, esp since Mili's older sibling, Lu-Ran, is perfectly well-dressed themselves. So it becomes her hobby to dress Mili up in cute but practical clothes.

On Mili's end, she's just a simple girl with simple thoughts. Leah is a drop-dead gorgeous gf with a heart of gold (according to Mili, disagreed with by many others). She doesn't really get all the influencer stuff but she's supportive and likes to chat with Leah's followers on livestreams. She doesn't know that Leah's followers have basically formed a Mili Fan Club/Protection Squad.

I also like to think that Leah is a lifestyle influencer and environmental advocate. She donates the money made during livestreams and sponsorships towards environmental research and causes. My headcanon is that she's one of Ling's main sponsor (anonymous of course) for her coral research.

Overall, I'm a big fan of "opposites attract" tropes, so I am obsessed with my OC Mili and seeing how the relationship dynamic with Leah would work out. Mili would help Leah become more emotionally vulnerable and be less rigid, while Leah would be a solid rock in Mili's chaotic life who helps keep her grounded and remind her to take care of herself and not just others. Leah is a bit antisocial though, despite being an influencer, so being together with the social butterfly that Mili is would be quite interesting. With Mili as the bridge, Leah would eventually open up to other villagers too and become friends with Mili's friends too (other than Scott of course). From the get-go, Leah would get along very well with Mili's older sibling (my other farmer OC), Lu-Ran, as they're very down-to-earth, quiet and acceptably-dressed (to Leah's standards).

Anyways, if you actually read my word vomit, thank you for entertaining my 2am brain ramblings.

Ive publicly acted like a freak about 3 characters in my life and id say testament is somehow both the most intense And virtuous. I dont know if i can elaborate

#the virtue comes entirely from the source. to be clear. #shounen man and gacha woman. we dont have to get into it necessarily #i will say. common theme of Goth and Patricide among them. #the kat goes meow

LISTEN Velma the show sucks! the writers made sure of that...

But this older version of thorn is CUTE! I like her design, she's aged with us from her debut in the witches ghost!

She's got age spots, freckles, wrinkles, she's frail and her boobs sag- she's got a septum too!!

whoever says she's awful just wants a reason to dump on older goth babes.

#hex girls #Velma #thorn hex girls #she looks like a real woman ive seen come in for new piercings at hot topic genuinely! #the people on Twitter are fake milfs shes cute. #to note im not watching velma im seeing other people watch it and getting details that way #but i wish we had the other bandmates #hell ILL DRAW THEM MYSELF #reunion tour for THE HEX GIRLS #you know this version of Thorn has some sick stories to tell #from years of being a rockstar and the HARDEST WEED on her person #shes cool yall just hate aging goths

my princess nonsense is being encouraged watch ouyt imabout to be eneaabled

OK WHATF ATHAT'S SO CUTE I HAD TO MAKE IT i know realistically there's little to no chance that rei DOESN'T know how to work heels 🤣 BUT IMAGINE.....ING.... YAKUMO GENTLY GUIDING REI IN HEELS, WEEKS BEFORE THE BIG GALA AND HAVING NONE OF HIS NORMAL FEAR OF PHYSICAL TOUCH BC HIS [TEACHER MODE] IS OVERRIDING HIS INSECURITY

#rei looking directly at the camera like why are you subjecting me to this. i do not need any of this. i know how to do it #rei wearing stilettos the size of your head so he becomes ur very tall bird goth gf #you know how yakumo gets when he instructs someone on how to cook something #he becomes confident and just tells ppl how to do stuff without his usual amount of stutter and secondguessing #i'm gonna pretend that after his stiletto training in misty vale he gains a TINY MOLECULE of confidence due to experience #like [i can help you if you've never done it before?] #honestly i can't imagine this scenario happening because i am so SURE that rei can walk in heels HAHAHA even tho nothing has proven that #SOMETHING COME PROVE ME WRONG SO MY DELUSIONS CAN SLIDE CLOSER TO POSSIBILITY #anyway even if rei didn't know how to wear heels #would he ever mention it? would yakumo ever learn of it? #rei would probably be all . i don't need to wear heels. they can't even see them under the dress. i'll wear my practical shoes #but if he can't get away with that and will be forced to wear heels at the party... #maybe he'll go [meh. i'll figure it out] and just not wear them until the day of the dance #at which point his feet will hurt after 20 minutes and for the whole night he takes any chance to sit down #rei can be frequently spotted on SOME surface SOMEWHERE in the palace. sitting all splayed out and uncaring of propriety #because he is in PAIN and these shoes are STUPID and why do people wear them for ANYTHING . Royals are so IMPRACTICAL #yakumo keeps trying to avoid heels for the dance because he doesn't want to be any taller than he already is #i bet there's a full convo about it between him and eiden #eiden trying to reassure him that if he wants to wear heels then he shouldn't let others' perception stop him from doing so #but if he genuinely doesn't want to wear them then that's ok too #eiden craning his neck up at yakumo in heels like you're my pretty princess 1-2 heads taller than me your height doesn't matter 🥰 #i'm now torn. yakumo and rei both wearing heels now? in order to stay at similar heights? #or. rei starting out with heels. getting tired of them. going barefoot for the rest of the night lol #yakumo and rei still dancing in their ballgowns together but a much shorter rei leads a yakumo in heels #yes. yes this is the vision #yakumo #rei #yakurei #replies
