Tilly, 16
“I’m wearing a Mobile Gundam Suit graphic tee, fishnet gloves with ribbons, a skirt from HOTTOPIC that buttons at the front, grommet belt with a chain, spider web fishnets with garters, Doc Martens, black and striped knee socks, and my 3-ringed choker with a patch attached to it. And a lot inspires my style since I’m not totally done improving my wardrobe. I take a lot of influence from various j-fashion magazines and subcultures.“

There's a mass grave in Wash Square Park?
Oh yeah, most parks in NYC were built on some kind of graveyard, but Washington Square Park is particularly infamous for it. It was built directly over a potter's field, as were Madison Square Park and Bryant Park. These days, Bryant Park's history is colored more by the reservoir, especially since, while there were thousands of bodies, they were moved in 1840. Meanwhile, Madison was only a graveyard from 1794-1797, mostly for those dead of yellow fever, and there are "only" a few hundred bodies there.
The land that would become Washington Square Park was a potter's field from 1797 to 1826, coming into use as Madison was phased out. At that point, the area became a military parade ground.
There are some 20,000 bodies under the park. Some excavations have identified gravestones from 1799. The bodies are still there, and there are thousands of them.
(Other parks have other horror stories, like the destruction of Seneca Village making way for Central Park, but like I said, Washington Square Park is infamous for it due to the sheer number and concentration of the dead.)

“I'm wearing Troentorp clogs, vintage JNCO jeans, a thrifted oversized tee, a vintage vest, and a Jaded undershirt. My chains are from an estate sale, Lesser Of Two Evils, and from my aunt Barking Mermaid on Etsy. My inspiration comes from 90s Japanese street fashion. My favorite thing to do is to mix textures.”
