i couldnt agree more
Guys will be like “I know a spot” and then take you to the Miskatonic University Hospital morgue to reanimate corpses
Watching gothic homemaking with Aurelio Voltaire is just an instant mood boost, consistently makes my day.
And also I wanna go to that Lovecraft bar in Portland so bad holy shit-
It really sucks when the toxic people you have to cut out of your life are your family.
This is the AU I’ve been waiting for!
If I weren’t so swamped at work I’d write a Grease AU...
50s geek and greaser
(just thought they would suit it)
bc im an oldtimer and was just discussing jrock culture w/ @thicclizzyy
- jrock cons. all, what, two of them?
- Withering to Death was THE album.
- “don’t call kyo kawaii!!”
- lolita kisama, later rebranded as lokisa, selling super shitty overpriced “visual kei” clothing to white kids at cons
- reita’s noseband. just like, wear it everywhere. also, facemasks
- jrock mixtapes with kagura, miyavi, mucc, DEG, an cafe, and l’arc
- purple sky magazine was a thing
- “smile ichiban ii onna” was omggggg sooo kyoot
- everyone trying to emulate miyavi’s weird hyper persona
- camping out for DAYS in concert lines
- being part of a fandom meant livejournal blogging and having every prominent youtube video featuring the band memorized
- ball jointed dolls. EXPENSIVE ONES. double points if you customized them to look like a band member
- everyone wearing those sexpot revenge jackets with the fur hoods
- Dir en Grey not DIR EN GREY
- safety pins in all your clothes bc aesthetic
I’m not sure if you all realize how much it means to a writer when you comment on their work. It’s more than a like or a reblog, it’s actual interaction between you and the writer.
It doesn’t even have to be about the work! Tell them how you stayed up late reading, how your day is just a little better because of their work.
Heck, just stop by to say hi!
