Gothdome

[silk talon]

wait how is idm goth

[upper plume]

That seems like an odd mixture of subjects that get talked about in the thunderdome fairly often anyways

[silk talon]

yaa

[silk talon]

unless you're mixing it up with ebm which is entirely vastly different

[acoustic crown]

Ok then I'll delete it

My bad

I'll just leave it at the title and you can interpret as u want to

I MEANT EBM NOT IDM SORRY

I am so sorry guys

[acoustic crown]

Yeah I did a goofy It's not that I thought they were similar I just mixed up the words bc of a similar ending

[ornate mica]

@acoustic crown has leveled up! (10 ➜ 11)

[compact elm]

fuq it I'm game

Anyone here into jirai? I'm not super into the frilly/doilly thing but the makeup goes so hard, if anyone has tutorial recs I'd super appreciate it

[acoustic crown]

I've dabbled, I don't have any makeup tuts but I'd always suggest smaller eyeliner wings with pink eyeshadow for that style

It does have some problematic elements when you go deep into it but doing makeup alone can't hurt

[compact elm]

Yea for sure, it's why I've been a bit tepid abt jumping into the style full hog

||that and I have no idea how I'm supposed to afford the shit lol||

[acoustic crown]

Lmao so true

Thrift!!! Dye things!!!

[compact elm]

But I really love embracing the like the visibly exhausted raccoon girl look

Tru I'm overdue for a thrift trip

[acoustic crown]

I've been into goth stuff for years and the key I've found is not worrying abt buying super expensive stuff

Get things that aren't inherently gothic snd style it a certain way and ur good

As for jirai kei idk much abt it in that regard but it should be easy to find that stuff

[compact elm]

Dunno if this is the best pic but for reference

[acoustic crown]

Do u have makeup on? Bc I see the vibe ur going for its working out

[compact elm]

Nope :3

I usually only wear mascara lol

Tyyyy tho c:

[acoustic crown]

I think jirai makeup could work on you and there's a lot of crossover with the menhera style which is also not the best at its core but yeah

There's more tutorials for the same thing under that name

[compact elm]

That's always been sorta my go to? Like most of my life I was way too dysphoric to spare even a single synapse on how I dressed but the band shirt/black jeans/flannel combo fucks no matter who wears it imo

[acoustic crown]

EXACTLYYYYY

Jeans and a band shirt always kills without fail

I need more goth band shirts specifically I only have 2 shirts for the cure but a grave pleasures one would b cool

[compact elm]

Oh yeah I've looked into menhera too! I mean I'm a luddite so it just reads as emo to me but I love the idea of like reclaiming the issue of mental health

Or attempting to at least, I know that too can be kinda problematic

[compact elm]

I'd say this but I should prob listen to more goth bands first lmao. I feel like a lot of skramz shirts fit the aesthetic tho

[acoustic crown]

What kinda sound do u like?

[compact elm]

Like u cant beat the pg99 thing of edgy skeletons with the cursive and flowers everywhere

[acoustic crown]

Bc I'm into more classic sounds and have a huge playlist of it

[acoustic crown]

So tru

[compact elm]

So like as far as goth rock goes it's usually the post punky barnburner shit a la bauhaus or stuff that tiptoes dangerously close to dream pop/shoegaze. Think like cocteau twins

[acoustic crown]

I love animal imagery for my goth stuff tho I go kinda grungy most times

[compact elm]

Wooooord still such a vibe tho

For me it's anything sylvan

Flowers and vines get me I dunno

Plus anything that skirts with horror aesthetics I suppose

At least if we're not strictly talking fashion

[acoustic crown]

Nah it's whatever u want

[compact elm]

In that sense I'm perpetually stunted as a hardcore kid lol

[acoustic crown]

You may like this playlist of mine

[compact elm]

I think for me anything having to do with an environment does it too

[acoustic crown]

Horror themes and all that

[acoustic crown]

90S MOVIE POSTER STYLED HORROR SHIRTS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[compact elm]

Like decaying opulence. busted up estates and the burnt out skeletons of cathedrals

Like the sort of shit youd run around in in a resi or dmc game :3

[acoustic crown]

That is so facts tho its gorgeous

DMC 1 IS SO AESTHEITCSLLY PLEASING

The most gothic of all the games

[compact elm]

Let's fucking gooooooo!!!

[acoustic crown]

I replay dmc 1 and 5 the most but 1 bc of the way it looks

[compact elm]

So fucking real omggggg

Castlevanias pretty stiff competition tho c:

[acoustic crown]

I think what stunted my ideas of what goth I liked was dimitrescus castle

And re 8 as a whole

[compact elm]

Yeah the dmc1 island is suuuuuuch a vibe

Esp with the pace and structure of that game still being like a resi thing

[acoustic crown]

Goth games r so easy to find luckily

[compact elm]

Fits the slower game real nicely I think

[acoustic crown]

Like bloodborne

Or Alice madness

[compact elm]

Frrrr!!

Omg dont remind me

I managed to keep a media blackout on bloodborne for like 7 straight years lol

Still havent played it!!

[acoustic crown]

I haven't either

I don't have anything its available on

[compact elm]

Dishonored?

[acoustic crown]

Not yet:(

Bayonetta one tho

OR INFERNO IN TWO AHHHH

[compact elm]

Maybe a bit more dickinsonian dystopia but if gives me that vibe

Fuck

I need to replay bayo

Thief's got that sort of atmosphere imo

[acoustic crown]

What else have I played

[quaint torrent]

I pray you do soon

Wonderful game

[compact elm]

Like again not strictly gothic, more like gaslamp fantasy, but like emotionally it hits the same notes

[acoustic crown]

Oh yeah lords of shadow mirror of fate 2 reminds me of those shitty spray painted goth fantasy paintings

[compact elm]

So do I

[acoustic crown]

I loooooveeee anything with bones

Visually wise

[quaint torrent]

Let's play the most goth of games, Clock Tower

[acoustic crown]

I actually clean bones myself

Worked on a raccoon spine recently

[quaint torrent]

Bones are cool I wish I had some

[acoustic crown]

Roadkill

I always bring plastic bags and gloves with me in case

[quaint torrent]

I don't like seeing dead animals

[compact elm]

Dont remind me of how much I havent played haunting ground or rule of rose

[acoustic crown]

I bring that up bc I feel like my hobbies influence my fashion/music taste and vice versa

[acoustic crown]

You can buy them from ppl ig

If you look into how they're sourcing

[compact elm]

Oh yeah I know folks super into the vulture culture thing

Bones r cool, but I'd prefer a fossil collection tbh

[acoustic crown]

I have my first cats tooth in a pendant

Oh yeah fossils are awesome

[compact elm]

Hell yea they are!

I have a coral fossil at my parents house, once I'm off work I could swing by and show yall :3

[acoustic crown]

HELL YEAH

I'm not home rn but I have a fossilized clam

I feel rlly emotionally attached to dark stuff like although not lyrically dark my first ever favorite song was by the cure

But I love how it sounds happy despite the way they are

[compact elm]

Oh for sure!

[acoustic crown]

But I think what's fatal for most music is trying to categorize it too hard

[compact elm]

When it comes to art my favorite vibe is always bittersweet

[acoustic crown]

So facts

Not to be stereotypical but I'm a huge sucker for vampires

[compact elm]

Yeah agreed, I've been tryna look for music based more off emotional resonance rather than genre tag

[compact elm]

Sucker lmao

[acoustic crown]

HA

OH MY GOD I didn't realize

[compact elm]

Same tho :3

[acoustic crown]

If vampire evil why pretty

Explain that liberals

[acoustic crown]

Hmm depending on what specific emotion you're looking for I may have suggestions

[compact elm]

Like every trans woman born past 1990 I too had an insane marceline obsession growing up, I think that's what did it

[acoustic crown]

Bc lorna shore themselves says that's basically what they do

But they're metalcore if ur into that

[compact elm]

Oh hell yeah!

I do fuck with metalcore

Mostly the mathier stuff I guess?

[acoustic crown]

I absolutely adore lorna shore

[compact elm]

Converge is a massive obsession of mine

[acoustic crown]

Lorna shore is on the heavier side

OMG I LOVE CONVERGE

[compact elm]

Dillinger and botch and coalesce too

[acoustic crown]

I THRIFTED A THOUNSANDS OF MILES BETWEEN US SHIRT

I was so lucky to find that

[compact elm]

Yo jane doe fucked me up so bad

[acoustic crown]

Dusk in us is Beautiful

The song and the album in its entirety

I found them thru a berserk video of all things

Have you heard bayos theme for the 3rd game its amazing

Whispers of destiny my beloved

[compact elm]

I havent, I've been super in the dark abt bayo 3 lol

[acoustic crown]

Also back on games bayonetta 1 is probably the best platinum game I've played

Yeah... its iffy and I cried at the end only to find out it was a prank

So I was mad lmao

[compact elm]

I feel like you're probably right but revengence keeps calling to me from the shoreline

[acoustic crown]

Bc I waited like 4 years for that bc I got into it when I got smash ultimate

Oh revengence is fantastic too

[compact elm]

God I remember people whispering abt bayo 3 since I was in high school lol

[acoustic crown]

I put down bayo one for a little under a year bc I didn't understand wtf I was supposed to do

But then I played again and it was rlly simple

Its hard but if you're not new to hack and slash you're gonna be fine

The end boss had like 9 health bars

Either I'm rlly good at it or 3 was easier than the other 2

[compact elm]

Oh no I played the ever loving shit out of bayo

[acoustic crown]

Oh okay

[compact elm]

It fucks me up tho cuz everytime I go back to it I get my ass handed to me

[acoustic crown]

I'm doing a hardmode save of 2

[compact elm]

Like I have no idea what happened, I dunno if like my reaction speed just isnt there anymore of if I'm too used to dmcs flow or what but I can get through a chapter without dying like 5 times

[acoustic crown]

Its was so easy till the part where you're flying to fortitudo

[compact elm]

What happened to me I used to be so cool ;-;

God I need to play bayo 2 so bad, that's another one I'm overdue for

[acoustic crown]

Dmcs flow is slower now bc dante has back pain

[compact elm]

So tru omg

Love how hes your uncle in his 50s who never matured past 25 now

[acoustic crown]

SO FACTS

Hes adorable tho

@compact elm omg another converge shirt

[compact elm]

Hmmm?

[acoustic crown]

[compact elm]

First light/last light fuckin

[acoustic crown]
