in the wake of ppl arguing abt goth shit i made a quiz for people to take. its really simple, i list three bands and you pick one plays goth music, no tricks or gimmicks. measure the result by your own metric, i didnt offer commentary nor judgement. i tell you which the correct answer is, so even if you get it wrong you could still take this as music recs lol. and dont feel bad for getting it wrong, this isnt a standardized test its an internet quiz for fun
anyway here's the link!

/Warriors equipment sketch (not final)
<image_id: sketches and doodles on a cursive practice notebook (the type of notebook with way too many squares). details below>
Warriors holding a left-handed bass. Note reads: He puts the capo where it SHOULD be. (the guitar nut. like right before the frets but after the headstock)
Strap. Note reads: 55 inches or 140 cm long. Strap is very long. Imagine it looks like his scarf (and theres a doodle next to it with me struggling to draw the emblem, like How do I draw this??)
Bass. Note reads:
Uses:
- Fret wrap
- Capo
- NO PICKS (all caps)
Bass color should be some sort of deep blue. The design is based on a Fender Precision Bass (model non-descript)

Wild that theres still people who are surprised at how Joy Division toyed around with nazi/fash shit, whether for shock value or whatever is still debated but either way completely fucking unnecessary. Like their NAME is the biggest evidence of that for fucks sake. Plus their first EP had an illustration of a Hitler youth on it before they ultimately changed it (supposedly most of the members were uncomfortable with it despite running with it the first time which uhhh make it make sense).
Like it's insane how many British bands and artists (sex pistols, bowie, the banshees, basically massive swaths of the punk/post punk scene) ran wild with that shit with 0 thought as to how such a shit attempt to be "counter cultural" to rising fascism in 70's England using fascist imagery was in fact more harmful and stupid than just being blatantly and outwardly antifascist. But lbr most of that supposed antifascism and leftism was pretty surface level and quite more so even aesthetic for a lot of these bands, very few stuck with it, let alone understood those values.

So I’ve been thinking I’ll probably do sharpie tatts again for my MCR show next week, and it’s a little soon yet to be drawing the ones I’ll actually have on for the show, but it’s gotten me yearning to draw on myself again, and with all the excitement about Badflower tonight (or last night now I’m posting it, but they open again tonight too), I thought, what if I just... gave myself a Badflower sharpie tattoo. For funsies?
So if you’re unfamiliar with their band logo, it looks like this:
So I started by attempting to draw their signature flower on my wrist. I decided to do it in blue rather than black just because I prefer to have some color in my sharpie tatts, even if they’re monochrome. It didn’t exactly turn out super accurately, but, well... the band’s not called Goodflower now are they? Lol. Then it just worked out that I put their name underneath rather than attempting to go on top of the flower, which would’ve required more planning and less coloring in the center. So then it looked like this:
but I wanted to do a little bit more, and incorporate some lyrics into it too. I started looking through some of the lyrics of my favorite Badflower songs, at which point I remembered, oh yeah, a lot of these are really quite grim, lol; I did come up with a few potential selections, but none of them were Vibing just right. But then I was looking at 30 and I saw “so raise up your glasses to going out of fashion!” and it just clicked into place. I mean, one of the great things about doing sharpie tatts instead of real permanent tattoos is that the things one draws on don’t have to be your only all-time favorite absolute best picks from all possible options; I considered going through more options after that, but I felt good about that line, so I went ahead and added it in.
It felt energizing and defiant, full of weird-and-proud energy; it also seemed a bit appropriate after the night’s twitter dramas. Of course, I have trouble planning spacing and I’m just freehanding this (all the more reason I’m glad this isn’t a ‘real’ tattoo), so the “to going out of fashion” part wound up on two lines, and my script is kind of funky and hard to read in places, but you know, it’s probably not going to last a full week, and I like it. Actually I fell asleep while writing this earlier and I just woke up at like 5:30 and looked at my arm and went “what the-- oh yeah I did do that,” but this is another good thing about sharpie tattoos, that it’s okay when they just sort of appear on your arm in the morning, lol. The text in a circle around the roughly circular logo also reminds me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo, come to think of it, but that’s not a bad thing I suppose. Anyways, I am really quite fond of it, so I wanted to go ahead and show off my pics while it’s fresh. “Raise up your glasses to going out of fashion” indeed! I love Badflower, I love their music, it’s 6am now and I want to get back to sleep and this post is probably messy and in need of editing, but I’m going to go ahead and post about my funky little Badflower tattoo now because it’s weird and I like it.

Why wooden
Just "Ela", sadly, is taken on every social media site under the sun, so I had to add something to it to make it uniquely me.
I don't particularly like my real life name, so I don't wanna use it as artist-branding. I'd much rather go by an alias.
Back in 2013 when I "started out" as an artist on f/acebook I wanted my username to be "woodkid" but there's a band with the same name |'D I was stumped for years on what to use, until I settled on adding "wooden" to my nickname🪵🌿 Even made a sketch of a little wooden version of me! (3 years ago, time flies geez)
In German we also have the word "Holzkopf" (wooden head person) to describe blockheads in an affectionate way, which suits forgetful-clumsy-me pretty well :')
