a bit peeved when the term "trad goth" is used to refer to that perfectly sharp black makeup and idk killstar clothes or something. then you look at actual early goths and it's so much more chaotic and versatile and fun.

Kylo ren is a goth icon 🥀🗡️

Ok I know as a fandom we have already sort of agreed on this. But Ben is so friggen goth. And I’m not just saying this because I saw a “goth” by sidewalks and skeletons edit of him on TikTok the other day I’m saying this because it’s just so accurate. Here are some further things that I’d like to prove just for the giggles.

- him and Hux look like they’d have a strange ass modern dark wave/post punk/goth rock band that is only available on YouTube for some reason. Hell they even act like band members who have been around each other too long. I reckon kylo would be like vocals/bass and hux would be the keyboardist. Idk what their band name would be but the thought is still funny.

- he has an alias and it’s obviously kylo ren! Idk that concept is so funny and I saw some angst teen kylo fan art of him asking his family members to correctly refer to him as such. Like he’d be so on their ass about it too! I mean he still is but he is more linient when Rey calls him Ben.

- he has at least one issue with a family member that doesn’t accept him and it’s luke (for obvious reasons) but yeah idk why but that might add to this list.

- his lightsaber is red and it looks like an upside down cross! It looks like one of those lights you’d see at a really obscure goth club. That just seems so goth to me.

- he is a hopeless romantic and wants Rey to convert to the dark side. Bro probably listens to disintegration by the cure on repeat(love song being his favourite) and just picturing him doing that is so funny. Just that idea that he is so devoted and has an emotional side is so goth. Also, I just know he fw non goth bands like new order or the human league. It’s so in character of him in a disturbing way.

- his clothing is all black and he fancies cloaks and big boots a lot.

- he definitely box dies his hair (ik Adam drivers hair is naturally that black but the thought of it makes so much sense). In addition to this reason both of his parents have brown hair and I know he feels rebellious.

- if kylo existed on earth, he would definitely be a fan of guy liner and black nail polish. I don’t make the rules!

- in one of those costume/prop (idk which one pls don’t diss me) books it’s stated that he has a calligraphy set and the thought of him writing angsty poems about his situations is so silly and I can totally see him doing that.

- if he existed on earth, he’d totally have an emo phase as a teen and find a connection to goth music later in life. (I know this is specific but it just makes sense to me).

- going back to my first point, his mask would totally be a piece of his stage persona.

In conclusion, kylo ren would be the most perfect goth ever (in my opinion) and all of these points make sense to me in a really strange way. I just know he’d worship Robert smith or something.

Ps- I made a playlist for him so let me know if y’all want to see it.

Well, everyone! We made it! 🙌🏽

A year in the making & we finally made it to Stockholm, Sweden. 🇸🇪 So, why are we here? Well, we thought it was only right! Consider we have already done Bergen & Oslo, Norway! 🇳🇴

We landed earlier today, dropped our bags off at the hotel & headed straight to pay our respects to Thomas Börje Forsberg, more famously known as Quorthon, from the band @bathoryofficialig. The band was part of the first-wave black metal scene, along with bands like Venom, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost & Mercyful Fate. It’s undeniable that Quorthons vocals on the self-titled & Under the Sign of the Black Mark laid the foundations for future second-wave black metal bands & continue to influence black metal to this day. It’s been an honour to pay our respects to this legend today & we will be jamming Under the Sign of the Black Mark for the rest of the day! What’s your favourite Bathory album? ⬇️

📍 Memorial Location: Sandsborgskyrkogården, Location 1, Grave Number 525.

I really want to organize a goth night. I need to actually email the bar I went to a goth night at. Yesterday at work I made an 8 hour playlist of music that would be suitable for a goth night and would like to organize another one if possible.

I like that I picked out Goth to read (the non fiction not the fiction one tho I have to read that at some point too) as something quick to read and it's so... it's fine

Spending my last day in residence laying in the dark trying not to pass out or throw up. As upsetting as this is, it's also extremely fitting for the fuckin year I've been having. Jesus fuckin Christ
