YOU ARE CORRECT! “Vampires Will Never Hurt You” by MCR *IS* a goth song, and I will join you in fighting those who say otherwise!

MCR's music in general isn't goth (it's some nebulous kind of horror punk/post-punk), but anyone who denies the goth cred of VWNHY either hasn't seen the video or is just being stubborn

IDK why everyone’s all excited about a fictional vampire rock star when Mana-sama is right there.

Okay down a rabbit hole. Like I don't get Enigma???? It sounds like a motivational cassette set to Cirque du Soleil music. Like if it were instrumental/chants I'd probably like it a whole lot, but the lyrics vibe like a song from a Disney sequel. Granted the absolute most I have heard of them was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure lol. Point being that ya that's some good 90's shit, that trance music with the Gregorian chants (Vision/The Music of Hildegard Gon Bingen is a big mood).

EDIT should point out that I didn't just now learn of Enigma. I learned of it when Spotify made me a playlist of music because I was listening to Cirque du Soleil music. It also had Dengue Dengue Dengue.

Threat Level: Pumpkin at JOANN Fabric.

They had a tiny display of suitably spooky things, including the mug pictured below, which needed to come home with me.

And when I checked out, the cashier let me know that they’d gotten a truck that morning with 300 boxes of Halloween merch.

Inspired by the excellent advice of the dearly beloved @gothiccharmschool

And because I will never turn down an opportunity to make a project more painful for myself than it needs to be, I did this in DMC glow-in-the-dark thread. Because, while it's not as hellish as their metallic thread it is still Effect thread and is painful to deal with because of how it unravels.

You ever see a post and you suddenly know that someone needs to see it for at least three different separate and completely unrelated reasons? Anyway, @gothiccharmschool , I bet you have seen it before but this one's for you

Kindness is different

from niceness. Be kind, and don’t

worry about nice.

Drop your shoulders, drink some water, take your meds.

The Lurking Horror tried again to slide down the bannister. It again went poorly.

It was my first time performing The Ceremony of the Fangs, so they turned out a little crooked, but I think they still look very nice. I painted one of them gold to match her nose and the gold flecks in her fur. Thank you for the tutorial, Auntie! @gothiccharmschool

@gothiccharmschool i’m at michaels crafts…..

[smithbrainz]

I have performed my annual devotion as an Eldergoth with a trip to Michael’s. I took home a thicket of purple/black silk flowers and a disembodied black velvet hand, now happily curating several necklaces. I told the rather young, sunny cashier of my obligation and, bless her sunshiny heart, she went right along with a smile.

@gothiccharmschool, even the sunshiny ones respect the importance of spooky. 🖤

What is the book with the goth dances in it!!? I gotta know man

That would be "What is Goth?" by Voltaire.

The book is, unfortunately, sold out and out of print so it's only available from resellers on Amazon.

But, if you're looking for books of good goth guidance, might I recommend Gothic Charm School by the wonderful @gothiccharmschool?

I'm pretty sure I got my copies of both of these books from Hot Topic in the late 2000s. Good times.

Unclench your jaw, hydrate, take your meds.

Spite is an EXCELLENT motivational tool. Choose spite.

The Lurking Horror has bundled itself in many blankets and hisses if anyone tries to take them.
