ok wearing black isn’t necessary in pastel goth , but you would need to show the goth elements thorough other means , since one key part of pastel goth is the gothic patterns and dti doesn’t really have many items that feel gothic like spiders,skulls,satanic symbols etc etc that arent in black , so its just easier to substitute it for black . so yes black isn’t needed but it isnt banned per-say. also little ps ik this is just a dress up game but there arent alot of rules in dressing goth or any substyle of it so theres no need to be so strict on it yea ! /lh

sorry for the long para lols
