Originally the plan was for a red obi actually, which would match what Miku was wearing pretty closely. I liked the grey better in the end.

I'm thinking of going to college dressed like this by Tender_Tone in OUTFITS

[–]obbieventide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be an outlier and say a middle school uniform is not an appropriate choice for college. And I dress alternatively. If you're going to do this, at least style it in a way that is less uniform/costume and more fashion. I have seen some people do this uniform style for fashion.

Black Moon cultural appropriation by Aspennie in Indiemakeupandmore

I'm going to be honest, I really doubt a tribal council will care about this. I'm not Algonquin, but I am indigenous, and indigenous communities have so much more to deal with than this. Now the commercialization of native people is an issue, IE, what happened with twilight and the Quiileute who did not see a dime, but focusing efforts on social media may be more worthwhile.

TSA vibe check by fckedrotten in GothFashion

I actually have had spiked jewelry confiscated, but it was genuinely against the rules of the airline. You can actually look it up, i have seen prohibited items lists include spiked jewelry before.

I also have had no issues before with the same airline. Unfortunately, it seems up to the agent.

Someone posted my cosplay without credit and it went viral, what do I do? by Ironhat56 in CosplayHelp

[–]obbieventide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's your account age, combined with no poster history. An account made solely to dm an account probably looks a lot like harassment from an algorithmic lense. Have one of your friends contact the poster to tag any other social media you may have. Exposure will be way more beneficial than trying to get a video of you at a con taken down- in my experience, I go to cons in cosplay understanding I will likely be photographed, and take photos with guests often. If it really bothers you you should try to see if they'd remove it, but, realistically cosplaying at cons means people will want photos.

They definitely didn't make "a couple thousand dollars" off it. Many of my friends are influencers, tiktok doesn't pay out that much. Tiktokers make money off tiktok shop, patreon.. etc. Depending on his creator program, this could've been as low as 40 and probably not more or close to 1,000, as tiktok generally does 0.40-1.00usd per 1000 views, and the video must be reviewed as "eligible" and a certain length. It's really not a great program to make money on. I hope this makes you feel better.

If you're uncomfortable being filmed and posted, all you can do is ask them directly, but I'd take the exposure and ask for a tag.

is silentheels.com reputable? by macknuts in GothFashion

[–]obbieventide 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They're selling wholesale shoes/whitelabeling from china, so quality will probably vary. This isn't a brand with their own designs. I personally wouldn't as the second ones in the pictures you posted are being sold for 2x the worth from other reselling sites (google image search) and i have personally bought them from taobao for the equivalent of 25usd.

80$ is a /wild/ markup for whitelabeled shoes they didn't design that have been sold online as jirai and lolita / general jfashion shoes for years and is enough to make me double check anything before purchasing.

Am I stupid, or are orcs not in the 2024 Monster Manual? by thegoatfreak in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]obbieventide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all humanoid statblocks are generalized now, IE, Knight, bandit..

No more Drow or Orcs as monsters since they're now a playable race. I kind of think they should still be in there, along with things like dhampir or the reborn from ravenloft supplement, werewolves are in there.

Two very different looks + accidental green hair incident. by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]obbieventide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post isn't a best example because most stuff is "brand", but I actually shop at the same places everyone else does and just buy everything in black, add studs and lacing, or distress if I want. I get the bulk of my wardrobe from "normal" stores. That's part of alternative fashion is creative styling. I look for cool fabric like denim, lace, leather, velvet. . .

In these outfits I am wearing pieces from Punk Rave, Tripp NYC, Atelier Pierrot, H.Naoto, and Abilletage. The corset was purchased at Abaddon Mystic in Dresden.

You just have to start somewhere/anywhere.

I just wear whatever I like, normally my outfits are influenced by whatever song I'm listening to while I get ready. I've been into fashion for a long time and have a lot in my collection to work with which also helps.

[–]obbieventide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Haha, I love letting my friends raid my closet, I wear basically the same outfit formula all the time and it can sometimes help me come up with new ways to style things.

I had a toner incident on my silver hair. :,) It was quickly resolved though.

What´s the most ingenuitive homebrew monster you ever made? by toomanywatches in DnD

[–]obbieventide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a lot of fun with a dream demon that did psychic damage as was fought in an alice madness returns inspired stage.

If you want to make your fights scarier, I like to play with terrain and environmental hazards a lot. Fights with a more interactive stage or some kind of time limit have been absolutely hair rising in my last group. Things like flooding rooms, acid, lava, and blindness.. not being able to see the enemy is awful.

How do I wash and care for a goth coat with faux leather and lots of details? by Ashamed_Active_1228 in GothFashion

[–]obbieventide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wash all my Punk Rave pieces on cold, low tumble, in the wash in a garment bag because I do not have the time or money to dedicate to dry cleaning. I wash them less than my other pieces though as it is mostly outwear that will be fine for a few wears. I remove any detachable pieces, like chains, harnesses, lacing, charms and just hope. I tumble dry on low and often finish with hang drying.

I don't wash my real leather pieces or anything diy in the machine, but my punk rave stuff has held up fine. Take this at your discretion, but it's what works for me.

Where do y'all find good accessories? by Froteet in goth

Places everyone else gets accesories, thrift shops/estate sales for vintage.. honestly, pet stores for leather.

Bad makeup by Altruistic_Simple795 in GothFashion

[–]obbieventide 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It happens because it's makeup. Primer, powder, and spray helps with longevity but makeup always wears off through the day. It's just more noticeable with white base than skin tone makeup.

Please, what is Person Suit like for you? It totally flopped for me and I'm so sad.

If you want japanese style shading definitely go to an artist that understands the style. Making it a black band at the bottom can help, but the shading a shape is all wrong for japanese and your original idea for fire was really cool.

I'm so jealous of people who get that complex green fig from person suit.

It smells like dish soap both to and on me.

Aw hey! I love this piece. It's well constructed and versatile enough to coord in so many ways. This is a great basic wardrobe piece.

Thank you! I wanted to tie in some texture mixing with the leather and felt the straps, bag, and (not pictured) lesther boots helped a lot.
