I decided to use the old TLT logo, as it’s more associated with his time in the brony fandom and more closely resembles his OC’s cutie mark.

Please let me know your thoughts, comments and questions, and feel free to tag me if you create anything similar that is inspired by this!

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

went through all of your three fics and omfggggg they're by far the best topgun fanfics out there. no contest. are you still posting here? cuz i have a small question. If your maverick grew up in texas, wouldn't he have a southern accent? does he repress it? has ice ever heard him speak southern?

not the same thing

Absolutely KEY to understanding todd brotzman's character is: he used to be in a band.

Everything abt him makes sense if u remember. He used to be in a minorly successful seattle indie rock band. Yes he is a sad wet rag of a man. But he was in a BAND. He still has the tshirts!!! He gives them to people he wants to impress! It's been YEARS - but it's still who he IS. He's still a guy Who Was In A Band.

Clubbing fit

[thatwitchrevan]

I don't wanna fuss with the criteria for subcultures or fit into one niche I just wanna listen to music that fucks and wear stuff that looks cool and say fuck the government and capitalism and bigotry and unkindness. And I want a nap everyday.

Hey hey hey!! Ghostflower!!

On the topic of physical media, for that debate, if it ever comes up again, tell your teacher that when they get married (or imagine the wedding they already had). The DJ they hired shows up. Their entire system is built on streaming because it’s accessible and the easiest way to get into DJing anymore.

But uh oh. The service isnt great. Or they forgot to download something to play offline. Or the wifi is being weird. Or they were planning on using spotify and suddenly spotify changed their terms of service and wont function as a third party service for DJ equipment (cause that actually happened). So now the DJ you hired doesnt have access to many songs, let alone the ones that you requested for specific moments. So now what? Without physical media, your wedding is out of luck.

The point is, just because the majority of people dont use it regularly, doesnt mean its not something that other people dont need. DJs *need* to be able to make and use physical media. Im sure there are more professions that need it too. But if you want your wedding to go smoothly (music wise) you should 100% have a DJ that has physical media at least as a back up.

(Using weddings as an example cause that tends to be the end all be all event for a lot of people that they always want to go perfect - same could be applied to any event you hire a dj for)

my teacher was on my side of the argument, it was my classmates who were against it.

it started because we brought up music streaming, and I mentioned if you lose the account you bought music through or streamed through, you lose that music, and one particular classmate told me I was wrong (her favourite thing to do, mind you), and that streaming services are a perfectly fine way to do music. and yes, spotify is quick, its convenient, etc. but the example I had was ITunes, specifically the fact that my mum lost hundreds of dollars of music when apple switched from Itunes to apple music, because she doesn't use apple anymore and couldn't sign anything in.

classmate and i then went back and forth for another 10 minutes and classmate finding some kind of counter for every single (what I thought were good) argument I made.

but either way, my general statement in most things, is that physical media is so important, not only because of the "it means you own it" argument, but also for media preservation. so many streaming services just take down shows or movies or music just to clear server space, and it means there is more and more lost media.

like think ahead in your life if you have young kids in your life (be that students, friends kids, family, etc) and you want to show them what you were like as a kid/teenager/young adult/etc, one of the best ways to do that would be pictures in a photo album where yes, something could happen to that photo album, so its a good idea to keep back up copies online anyway, but having that solid tangible picture is so special.

yeah not listening to goth music but still dressing goth makes you a poser i guess but who cares a goth that listens to ed sheeran is objectively hilarious. however not following punk ideals but still dressing “punk” makes you a fucking poser in the bad way

[pretty-little-martyr]

completely and utterly fucking forgot to post this when I finally got the patches sewn on but here it is. theres technically 1 more I have to put on but it's a fanwork-related patch so it doesnt matter. thank you to @faegget (I hope that's the right url I have the object permanence of a baby) for giving me design inspo when I was stuck !!

funny enough this is the only jacket I've gotten close to "finished" (covered in stuff) and now I am pretty much too fat for it. oh well!!

sorry the photos are a bit shit my phone is old and cranky

[moe-broey]

Going to the mall as I am now (kinda punky/extremely autistic) is kinda funny like. That's a nice shirt. However, it's not one of my thousand beloved black graphic t shirts and it is such a texture and kind of a weird shape to it and honestly I don't really wanna buy any sort of fast fashion type shit or brand shit. Don't care. Oh they have patches. Kinda cute but straight up I can just make those. In fact, I would prefer to. Don't care. Also I'm not buying that.

[bongdaddy666]

Here's my baby, she's a work in progress (shes been a WIP for like 6 years but thats how that shit goes) but I am so proud of her. I love her.

All patches either made by hand, obtained at shows or purchased at small businesses

I cant even tell you where most of the buttons have come from, I've been collecting those since I was like 13

Gotta put more on the back, but I also have to go through the process of making more patches.

“you should get all your patches from local bands and live shows!” Honey, I’m poor and I live in arkansas, how am I supposed to do that?

[practically-an-x-man]

i'm realizing my mutuals probably didn't know that i'm a diehard metalhead in real life

well. i am. enjoy this new knowledge i guess

anyway here's my battle jacket. the back and shoulder patches are completely hand-painted, about 10 hours of work in total. This isn't ALL the bands I like obviously (really it's like... 2/3 at best?) and I want to change up the patches a bit, but it's a pretty decent representation. And I know they're not all metal bands, who cares, it's my damn jacket.

anyway just wanted to show off cause the internet loves metalheads right now

[tiredstressedemotionalmess]

Dude show us your punk clothes (if you're comfortable)! I've always wanted to dress that way but my personality doesn't match up 🥲

AHHHHH YES OKAY ID LOVE TO SHOW SOME OF MY STUFF GHGHFHGFHDGD-

but like first i just wanna ask wdym it ur personality doesn’t match up??? you don’t have to act a certain way to be punk! just like you don’t have to look a certain way either. if you really wanna dress this way, then i say go for it dude- don’t let anyone or anything hold you back :D

but anyways here’s my shit! along with these i have another jacket and a pair of jeans, but i honestly hate how they look atm and i’m in the process of fixing them so i’m not gonna show ‘em 🙃 all of these are works in progress tho too bc i have a lot of patches made for them but i havent had time/energy to to actually sew them on

so! in order we have my shorts, front and back, my vest, front and back, my shitty walmart boots, and one of my many soda tab chains (and you can see the sides of the jeans i mentioned im working on)

the vest is probably my favorite out of everything bc it’s the first project i ever stared. originally i was just gonna paint the back in a white outline of the danger days mailbox, but then i added color and then i added the tabs to the back, and then i found a bunch of old pins and i cut the sleeves off and it was just all down(up) -hill from there!!

i also love it bc i got called a poser once by an old man who thought i didn’t have enough “real punk bands” on it and i fucking love being called a poser it’s literally so funny to me 💀 like fuck off dude it’s my jacket, it’s supposed to represent me, i’m gonna put all my favorite bands on it regardless of whatever fucking genre they are!! that doesn’t make me any less punk!!!

but yeah, moral of the story is wear what you want, dress how you want, be rad as fuck and don’t let anyone stop you!!! thanks for the ask and the excuse to ramble abt my clothes and thoughts and shit :D have a great day! <3
