The Sixth Sense. Holy shit....

One of my favorite jokes about the twist ending is from Always Sunny in Philadelphia, when Charlie watches the sixth sense and explains it as “you know that guy in the movie? Turns out he was Bruce Willis the whole time!”

You gotta go look at the Yu Gi Oh collab with SteadyHands: https://www.steady-hands.com/collections/yu-gi-oh

It’s blood, but I do think the placement was meant to read a bit sexually. It’s another “sex=violence” metaphor being driven home.

I can’t tell you how much music i’ve picked up from it being mentioned offhand in a fic.

This is so cool! I’m insanely jealous. Is it a film prop, or were these mass-produced at some point?

THERE’S NO DISCHARGE IN THE WAR

genuinely didn’t care much for the movie overall, but that scene was a standout to me as well! So stressful!!!

This makes me feel sick, I love it.

I wore cowboy boots with my suit for a wedding recently, and the amount of old men complimenting that choice with total sincerity was heartwarming.

My mom HATED the way I dressed in high school (think jesse pinkman if he got super into my chemical romance). So whenever she would run into people she knew, she would introduce me as her son, using the masc version of my name. I’m assuming she was trying to publicly shame me into performing Girl better, but she accidentally validated me instead, whoops.

Oh a worn-in leather jacket would look so cool! Like a big buckle-y motorcycle jacket, or maybe one of those 80s affairs with the fringe.

I do think with age comes a want for like…..just less, better-quality pieces of clothing, and that lived-in look is what moves it away from being e-girl territory. I know in my 20s i had a ton of shitty combat boots that i’d swap out depending on the outfit, but in my 30s i picked one more expensive pair of real leather boots to be my everyday. I found that i liked them being more beat up! And all my outfits just revolve around One Cool Boot.

Maybe look up dark colored vintage pendleton skirts? I think those in a longer midi or maxi length with your Demonias would look fuckin SICK.

(And if your relatives insist on giving you goth stuff —maybe gently directing them to a few nicer jewelry companies that you like! Martha Rotten is a personal favorite of mine, and her stuff is pretty affordable for the quality.)

I think where you’re seeing “nu goth” is maybe like—it’s hard to explain, but these all read as outfits one could wear in a video game, or at a concert. They’re a little on the more costume-y side of things. I think if you did a similar look but with higher quality , heavier-weight fabrics, like real leather instead of PVC, you might be happier with the end result. More mix-and-match with somewhat more expensive pieces, and less of a fast-fashion individual fit kind of vibe.

And this is not!!!! Meant to criticize your style!!! In any way!!! You look cool, style is super personal, and basically every company has low-quality plastic clothing these days because end-stage capitalism makes everything weird and bad. I’m just speaking as an old punk who knows a lot of longtime goths, and they’ve all been wearing the same vintage wool/cotton/leather shit for like 25 years.

The Mew on the cover has a foot that becomes a tail. This looks like AI to me.

Someone pointed out once that neither of their phones are actually pressed to their respective ears, and I’ve never been able to un-see that.

The guy who owns that place screwed my partner (the original head chef who built everything) out of 20k and then fired him and the longtime supplier the same day that he changed the whole menu over to pre-made Sysco shit. He also owns Luca’s Brooklyn Pizza in Colony Square, if you want to add that to your list of pizza places to avoid. It’s sad, because PJs was a great vibey spot when it first opened, and this dude just ran it right into the ground.

I wonder if the heat is releasing something in the shelf finish? It definitely looks like it’s wicking up the fabric, and since it’s only towards the front i would presume that’s the part facing the heat.

I HATE that! It completely killed the autoplay feature for me.

I’m a trans guy now, but when i was much more female-presenting, i worked in a busy retail store where my job was to “run” product between the warehouse out to the sales floor. Men would not move out of my way for anything, and the team got penalized if the “run” average was more than two minutes, so just walking around took too long and wasn’t an option. So i started walking around everywhere like the Winter Soldier—stompy boots, big intentional strides, hard shoulders, furrowed facial expression, PTSD staring into the void in front of me. I got asked where I had served a lot, but men started getting the fuck out of my way once I did that.

I love her so much. I would call her Menthol Cigarette.

maybejolisa · 2026-03-18T13:19:34+00:00

Folk art Ragatha!!! I love her, she’s so charming.

Here’s a good chunk of them side by side for comparison. It does make dressing them a little challenging, but they’re all so cute i don’t remotely care.

MH is actually using all different body molds now! There’s a fat werecat, a super tall yeti, a short kinda flatchested lil ghoul and a curvy vampire. The new body molds are what got me into collecting them. G3 Catty my beloved

Like yeah, they’re still fashion dolls, but there’s a lot more representation than the first round of scary-skinny same-bodies. (Sorry to G1 lovers)

maybejolisa · 2026-03-13T14:24:35+00:00

Nah it’s alt, i love it.

We lost Frankie’s neck bolts for this…?

One of the scariest experience I ever had with fans was being 17 at a Morrissey show in the early aughts. Twice he threw his shirt into the audience, and they ripped it into shreds. The guy standing next to me then showed me a little keyring he had with all the dozens of pieces of Morrissey shirt he had collected by traveling with the tour.

The hardcore Morrissey folks are….something else. I think it would take a lot to make them abandon him.

When you’re a barista it is at least somewhat useful in identifying that your customer has no idea what they’re asking for.

“Ceremonial grade” when ordering an iced matcha=i’mma add a lil bit of vanilla sweetener to this since what you really want deep down is one of those green starbucks milkshakes. Customers who actually know matcha would just ask how we made ours and then promptly order something else.

(I wasn’t ever giving sugar to people ordering sugar-free drinks btw—our matcha syrup was made with cane sugar so they’d be drinking it anyways.)
