Where has Obscurism been the last 2.5 years?

Hi all,

I know many of you followed me here from my Huntress fic, which I still have not abandoned!

2.5 years ago I had to suddenly up and move my entire life, couldn't keep my job/career I had worked for for 4 years nor pets, and was almost homeless.

I worked 50+ hours a week for 2.5 years in a hostile work environment and have met the love of my life, and recently got a new position working 40 hours so I have time to dedicate to my hobby of writing now.

Unfortunately this year my body tried to almost kill me twice with a hypertensive episode due to work stress and my body not having a single chance to rest (at my young age of 32) and then severe neutropenia that left me in the hospital til I recovered enough to go home.

I'm safe and healthy again, but please know I'm still trying to get my life back together somewhat and haven't forgotten about the story. I may write a few one shots before getting back into the rest of the chapter I started however.

Anways I'm not active much on here anymore, but I'm still open to DMs/discord

Punk 101: Lace Code

Lace Code is one of my favorite things, and so it happens to be the Punk 101 post that I’ve worked on the most. I’m sorry (I know I said at some point band shirts were up next 😬)

*Long Post - if you see anything thats wrong or missing, please feel free to leave a note or message me*

To start, it is important to talk about where Lace Code came from, and where it is now. Using lace colors on your boots (doc martins specifically) started with London Skinheads in the 70’s. Their white and red laces were typically symbols of white supremacy, and in some groups those laces had to be earned.

I’ll eventually do another post on Skinheads, but for now all you need to know is that the Skinhead subculture is historically known for being racist and violent. I always feel the need to point something out when talking about Skinheads: NOT EVERY BALD OR SHAVEN PUNK IS A SKINHEAD!

Later on in the 80’s, Lace Code became a popular way for many Punk subculture to communicate things such as their stance on racism and their sexuality. Now, in many areas, Lace Code is dead, but not everywhere!

Lace Code applies to ladder laced black combat boots (typically people wear docs). Each color represents something different, and this can vary by area, so it is important to check your local scene

How to ladder lace:

Traditional ladder laces are shown on the left, and quick release ladder laces are shown on the right. And here is a site that goes step by step

What do The Colors Mean?

(Colors mean different things in different places. These are the most common meanings and the ones I personally know - check your local scene to ensure its not different for your area)

Orange: Anti-Racist // Anti-ICE // No Meaning

Yellow: Anti-Racist

Green: Environmentalist // Peace // No Meaning

Blue: Killed a Cop

Purple: Queer // Gay

Pink: Feminist // Queer // Gay

Black: No Meaning

Patterned: No Meaning

Red: Nazi // Neo-Nazi // Anarchist

White: White Supremacy // Nazi // Neo-Nazi

Note: no one can stop you from wearing whatever you want, but in some areas you should be mindful because there are still people who follow Lace Code, and if youre seen with red or white ladder laces, you might be in for it

2nd Note: Its always advised that you dont wear ladder laces when traveling if you are unfamiliar with the Lace Code of the area you are traveling to for safety purposes

cats are really useful for when you need a small animal to sit 10-15 feet away from you and stare at you with unceasing neutrality
