As someone who has been in the alternative subculture for most of my life, I genuinely cannot stand goth elitism. Is it important to recognize that goth and punk started as radical ways of expressing new age ideology through music and fashion? Absolutely. However, most people these days share the same mindset that helped create that genre of people. You don’t have to be trad goth for people to realize at a glance what you stand for. You don’t have to strictly listen to these decades old bands that you don’t like or wear only black all the time. For fucks sake, more than half of all those old goth bands turned out to be full of AWFUL people. Abusers, pedophiles, racists, and homophobes practicing the opposite of the they sang about. Fast fashion is the devil, but it’s the only thing most people have access to! DIY shit as you can, but understand that your current fiscal security comes first and foremost. Being alternative can be soft as fuck. Listen to indie bedroom pop or listen to Norwegian black metal. Wear all pink or all black. It literally doesn’t matter. Just be fucking kind to people and take care of yourself. Be accepting where it is applicable and protect those who need it without yelling over voices that need to be heard. And, as always, understand that these subcultures were not, will not, and never have been strictly white. Everyone deserves a space in this community regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or religion.
it is my hope and dream that everyone on tumblr can go outside and visit a gay bar or go to a queer event and see that our community is very beautiful and very diverse and that half the internet discourse isn’t real
It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny
I'm getting so pissed with people who are saying Gwen isnt trans. Like they're trying to explain why her dad has a trans patch on his jacket and why she has a trans flag in her room, by saying she supports trans people... wtf???? Literally what ally has a TRANS FLAG, IN THEIR ROOM, BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT TRANS PEOPLE??? That's some shit closeted me would tell my parents when they saw me drawing rainbows. People that are saying this shit are literally just transphobic and dont want her to be trans. Gwen is trans and fuck everyone that argues against that.
I'm surprised Mirrormask (2005) isn't more popular on tumblr. Like what more can you ask for?
Gorgeous and original art and design!
A darkside emo version of the protagonist with a punk haircut!
Cats with creepy little human faces!
These things, which are inexplicably all named Bob (except for one that is named Malcolm)!
Also Neil Gaiman is involved!
If you like fantasy, early CGI, steampunk aesthetics, jazz music, dreamscapes, creative costume design, or generally weird movies then please watch Mirrormask (2005) I need everyone to know about Mirrormask (2005)
