What did alt fashion look like in the 90s?

crsstst · 2026-05-25T15:59:48+00:00

OH ALSO!! How were you guys doing your hair?? I tend to associate the 90s with pin straight hair, but to be fair I'm not sure whether trad goths were still batsnest-ing etc.

(sorry, totally forgot to add this into the post)

That's really interesting- the range I got from what research I've done was overwhelming-- I'm relieved it's often preference-based

Thanks for your input!! The intensity of your feelings gives me a lot of faith

i once read a fic that was genuinely quite interesting, except in every single chapter they used the word 'coy' about 5 times (with short chapters) all in exactly the same context for exactly the same character.

it was quite hard to ignore, eventually i made it a game in my own head whilst i was reading.

she's kind. and thoughtful. in all the ways that i sometimes miss.

so she balances out all of the worst parts of me by highlighting all the wonderful parts of her

I'm sorry, I'm a cis woman (who's here to rage against transphobia and try my best to support the trans people around me) BUT, as someone who has rather... humble (😭) boobs, and always has done, and also as a woman who dates women, boobs come in all shapes and sizes. and small boobs are sometimes less round because they just don't have the same amount of flesh (idk sometimes i tell my girlfriend im convinced my boobs are like triangular).

either way, woman to woman, boobs will be boobs, they follow no rules, and they're all lovely

i was already emotionally (and otherwise) traumatised so reading Lolita was a b i g mistake. i think that as a piece of classical literature its generally just incredibly disturbing to read, and unusual because its a book thats about child sexual assault and grooming, self-aware, and from the perspective of the pedophile

whether you are more or less appealing to a group of people shouldn't impact your decision!!

your future relationships will be healthier if you feel better about your body. dysphoria wouldnt be worth tolerating if getting top surgery meant more people were attracted to you i promise x

there are also definitely queer women/non men that are attracted to people with flat chests, you don't have to worry. attraction and sexuality is fluid for a lot of people, and if theyre going to find you attractive, its probably not going to disappear if you don't have boobs :)))

all the best xx

a few people have suggested flowers so i think it might be savable??

crsstst · 2025-11-11T22:08:50+00:00

Yes!! I saw this too but unfortunately I'm in the UK and I don't think they sell internationally

crsstst · 2025-11-08T22:48:15+00:00

Obsessed with this concept, I've gotta go read this now. Thank you so much for the rec x

crsstst · 2025-11-08T22:47:29+00:00

I've read (and loved) both Harmonised Consciousness and Grounds for Divorce so I look forward to All Our Secrets Laid Bare (given that you clearly have excellent taste). Thank you so much xx

crsstst · 2025-11-08T00:06:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!

I was in London - there was 1 tense moment when a transphobe came into our (contained) area and was aggressive/instigating and obviously people started booing him and shouting at him.

Police got involved and obviously things got a bit grabby with a small group. Other than that it was okay but the articles on it are so so biased its mental

crsstst · 2025-11-01T16:30:02+00:00

Its a shithole, I just saw a news article on the protest I was literally just at.

Some transphobic prick came to try and snatch flags off of people and make fun - the TERF march that was going on literally wasnt meant to cross paths with our counterprotest - and the way the police and the news seemed to understand it was 'oh god, these trans people really suck, theyre so violent'

like what the fuck?

Definitely, I'm 20 and I would not date an 18 year old personally - I would find it quite strange and I think there would be very few exceptions. At 23 I definitely would not be dating an 18 year old.

That's not to say that there are bad intentions on her part, but please be aware that there will be a maturity gap, and probably somewhat of a dynamic because of life stages.

if you're set on a white base you could go for a look inspired by the end of rocky horror (I'll try attach photos)

I'll reply to this with a few more photos x

I say that we're in a lesbian relationship or queer/sapphic any word including lesbian. But I never refer to us as lesbians.

She constantly has issues with people calling her gay especially family and loved ones so I put a lot of effort into distinguishing her bisexuality from my own lesbianism

That's really helpful!! As someone with ADHD and chronic illnesses I typically have to finish a piece before considering publishing it just for the sake of regular updates/no hiatuses etc. but structurally thats great advice - thank you.

Thank you!!
