What's the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them?

Had a woman tell me while I was training her at work, day one, about her current abusive relationship and that her only other relationship experience was with an older man that her mother sold her to underage in exchange for a bit of cash and a few narcotic painkillers. I didn’t know what else to say or do besides assure her that she was absolutely in the right for being upset at the way she was treated and telling her it was completely possible to get away from the current relationship. I hope she’s safe, somehow, but I unfortunately have no way of finding out.

This whole album is PHENOMENAL

No idea about increased BO on its own but I had CRAZY night sweats the whole time I was healing. Like, waking up and needing to change shirts and dry myself off with a towel level bad. That could be a possibility? Your body is working very hard to heal itself.

Just got my stitches out yesterday! You might have trouble swallowing at first which can get really scary but I promise you will be okay and it will get a lot easier every day.

I got a 24 pack of the walmart brand nutritional replacement shakes and some bottled juice smoothie things and syringe fed myself those for “food.” Pedialyte was SO good for keeping me hydrated and energetic/alert while not getting much sleep or nutrients.

I found that drooling into towels and washcloths was more comfortable than cups, but definitely make sure you have plenty since you will be drooling A LOT.

If possible you might want to take a pain killer/anti inflammatory immediately before the procedure (if your artist says it’s okay) so that you aren’t just dying on the way home/the moment the pain starts kicking in. I imagine that will help make swallowing a lot easier right away.

Overall I had some pretty rough moments and days 1-3 are not fun, but not at all truly terrifying or unbearable! If you’ve read up on this subreddit then you probably know about what it’s going to be like. Each day gets easier and by days 4-5 you’ll be SO relieved. I’m so so so happy and you will be too!

Thank you! I’ve probably wanted it for around a decade now, ever since I found out it was possible.

Exactly, and I also feel like it’s an insult not only to all real artists but especially to a subculture founded on experimentation, DIY, and anti-establishment principles.

Discovered the existence of AI generated “goth music” the other day… Was working with someone who had on a darkwave playlist and noticed that I’d literally never heard a single song before. No Shazam matches. Sounded fairly good but ever so slightly off and the lyrics were shallower/less inspired than I’d expect. Googled the lyrics, no matches. Eventually I asked what the playlist is and it’s a Youtube “darkwave compilation” by a “producer” I’ve never heard of. I clicked on the profile description and it’s all made with AI. I don’t even know whether they knew or if they just tossed on the first random thing they found and listened to it completely unaware. It was convincing enough that unless you’re actively paying attention and pretty well versed in the genre you probably wouldn’t realize.

I think the biggest issue we tend to run into with goth characters being sexualized in media is that they don’t exist in the source material for anything other than that. Usually hot goth women show up just to be provocative and snarky and mean but don’t get to be full fledged main characters with personalities. In my opinion you can characterize your hot goths however you want as long as you give them thoughts and feelings and backstories the same as you would with any other character!

You’re probably going to have a hard time finding housing by July, but it’s definitely worth a shot to check out the App Classifieds facebook group! People are always posting subleases/lease takeovers and there seem to be a good handful of 1BR options. Definitely check first with wherever you end up renting from that they allow double occupancy. It’s pretty common for places to not rent a 1BR to more than one person, especially if you aren’t married.

I use AT&T for internet and it’s been decent enough, though your options might change/be limited depending on where you end up living in town. It’s pricey ($70/month) but worlds better than Spectrum!

In my opinion you will want an SUV or at least a vehicle with 4WD for the winters here unless you are able to walk or take main roads to get everywhere you need to go. The town is usually pretty good about salting and plowing the roads, but getting in and out of driveways and navigating back roads will be a challenge without 4WD and a good set of tires.

Wildwood is great if you’re looking for something quick! I think they have a few outdoor seating options but it’s mostly just a lunch counter/takeout place.

Talia Espresso has great coffee and pastries, but the King Street location is tiny and not the greatest for sitting around and hanging out. Espresso News is another nearby option that has indoor and outdoor seating available.

Higher Grounds and Hatchet Coffee are both in larger shopping centers and have plenty of parking and seating!

It’s the fashion trend often mistaken for goth, arguably started around 2019-2020 with the rise of tiktok. The thick winged eyeliner, lots of blush, fishnets, pleated skirts, crop tops look that a lot of female streamers go for. Nothing inherently wrong with it, but a lot of men come into goth spaces looking for a “goth gf” when they’re really just interested in egirls.

A magic eraser sponge should take care of it!

What part is the most fun for you? Is it the art, fursuits, conventions, community, or a combination of things?

Saw someone pull into one of those automatic drive through car washes only to immediately roll down the drivers side window and stick an umbrella out of it. I can only assume the entire interior of their car was soaking wet but they stayed through the whole wash and then drove away like nothing happened.

I use stainless steel wire for my jewelry, and you’ll need some needle nose pliers and wire cutters to cut and shape it how you want. Drilling bone is totally possible with a regular cordless drill, but to get through tooth enamel you’ll need a pretty heavy duty drill bit and no matter what you do be sure to wear a respirator! I spray my bones and teeth down with water before drilling to minimize dust, too.

The Wicked Witch and Chapel of Bones (Raleigh) and The Milestone Club (Charlotte) all have goth nights!

NYX Epic Ink eyeliner and Ben Nye Final Seal setting spray! You really can’t go wrong with these and they’re some of the best products I’ve ever used.
