KANDI TRADES ARE: OPEN!!!

To start off…

WHAT IS KANDI?

Kandi is (typically) a type of bracelet or necklace made of pony beads that originate from the rave scenes in the 90s! They are most commonly seen at raves where people trade their Kandi creations! These fun pony beaded pieces have even expanded to other subcultures (kidcore, indie, scene, etc.).

EXAMPLES OF KANDI //

WHY DO I LOVE KANDI KIDS?

To put this in the most simple terms, I love their PASSION, CREATIVITY, and KINDNESS.

Kandi kids are no joke! Sometimes they’re pretty casual and may wear a few bracelets they really love… but sometimes they’re pretty decked out! I love how they put effort into the things they love and then walk out with it! That takes guts!

Kandi kids really have a lot of creativity! I mean come on, I couldn’t figure out how to make a beaded bra if I tried. Plus some of their creations are ACTUALLY jaw dropping! I’ve seen some absolutely insane things. Like the Kandi mikan wig by Angelropes.cosplay on TikTok!

Last but not least is the REASON they make these bracelets. Not only is this for self expression but it’s out of compassions and kindness. A big part of the Kandi community is trading bracelets or gifting bracelets to people you think are nice or cool! They use this little handshake to trade! It’s called PLUR(R)!

P - PEACE

L - LOVE

U - UNITY

R - RESPECT

R - RESPONSIBILITY

Kinda think of this as a code of conduct! This is the rules these people follow to keep their community safe and respectful. It’s SO sweet and I wish more communities lived by rules like this.

So next time you see your local Kandi kid, maybe you should stop by and give them a little compliment! Every single one I’ve met has always been very sweet and awesome! 🫶

Ghosts Doodles

I'm not a huge fan of sharing my OCs but here goes nothing (depicted with far less bracelets than he should have)

Transcript (Rape/Murder mentioned):

Magdylan "Dylan" (He/They) 27, died in 2013

Trans Male + Gay

"Scene Queen"

Used to live in Queens

Used to live a life of serial clubbing and uses music as an escape. Music is also Dylan's way of bonding with the other ghosts and Sam

Has the powers to share his kandi bracelets with the other ghosts using the PLUR handshake

First friend was Trevor because of their shared love of partying. He received the first of their bracelets

Later bonded very closely with Nigel <3

Kind of a shithead (affectionate)

Had been addicted to caffeine, specifically monster energies in life

Very, almost eyestrainingly, colorful mostly neon greens and pinks

Cakey Guyliner

Knee high converse

For the last few years of his life his worked as a prostitute. He usually solicited stockbrokers because he desperately needed money. He had refused to have sex with David Woodstone. This leads Woodstone to lace Dylan's drink with rohypnol and takes him to the mansion to rape him. After realizing it would be really easy to find him if he dropped him off somewhere David broke the sex worker's neck with the aid of his jewelry. He dumps his body on the private property (just as he did with Trevor).

Dylan cannot remove his necklace or his head will sit at an unnatural angle, also revealing severe bruising.

OKAY SO

PLUR stands for Peace Love Unity Respect and it’s how people exchange handmade kandi bracelets and necklaces at raves

There’s a really cute video where a girl cries but I can’t find it but here’s one to show the ritual they do

You do peace sign, make a heart, join hands, then trade

It’s super adorable

Assorted Kandi I haven't shared!! My first ever goggles, singles for some friends, and a belt chain/necklace multipurpose piece :3c I also added some to my spike collar! im gonna put a big star in the middle :D

I hope you don't mind I've been rotating this headcannon in my brain like a rotisserie chicken -

I just imagine Patton looking up the tutorials and seeing all of the gigantic cuffs people make and trying all kinds of patterns, and Virgil's other friends start asking to meet the guy that is making all his cuffs, and it takes some needing but finally Virgil convinces Patton to come to a party, promising it's small(er), and there's a side room he can go to if he gets overwhelmed.

And Patton has a bunch of his bracelets in a bag at first, and he sticks to Virgil's side like glue for a while, and he's just dressed in plain clothes. But someone hands him and Virgil some glow sticks, and there's glow in the dark face paint, and Virgil gets Patton to wear some of the cuffs he brought and gestures one of his other friends to come over and they teach Patton PLUR (the gestures you do to trade - peace, love, unity, respect) and swap bracelets and Patton just gets really into it and trades with a few people (someone gives him a necklace with a big stuffed animal on it - i saw some of those looking for that video i mentioned and i was instantly like yes perfect) and at the end of the night he's a little tense because that was a *lot* of people, and it's late, but he's happy, and can be proud of himself for trying something new, and he wears all of the bracelets to school that Monday to show off to Logan and Roman. 💜💜

Also here are two from my collection - my two favorites minus the original (which is in my trinket box and not unpacked yet):

The bottom one is based on the core four! Virgil, Patton, Logan, and Roman. I had it made when I first got into TS (I won't say when, because then I'll feel old 😅)

And this is one that just absolutely amazes me:

So I had a thought, and you can totally ignore it if you want because it may be inaccurate - BUT I wonder if you're familiar with one of the "scenes" at some punk/rock/Rave events called Kandi. ((Mostly raves but still.)) ((Pronounced Candy. Those big chunky bead bracelets that look really cheap but some people make really epic ones)). The general theme is sharing friendship, love, and community unity! I saw all of the bracelets on Patton (I'm glad he has his friendship bracelets 💜) but it made me think about if that's one way Virgil and he started bonding - Virgil complimenting his Kandi and Patton being utterly confused at first [source - me and one of my boyfriends in highschool who is still a good friend of mine now. I was "Patton" and I still have the bracelet he gave me]. Then Patton starts making/wearing more complicated designs and sometimes gives them to Virgil to take and trade at events.

Idk I've always thought that was a really fun thing people do and the way you've set up their personalities feels like it would fit really well.

(also if you want better explanation, look up Kandi and Kandi trading. There's this cool thing where the two people hold hands a certain way and you transfer the bracelet from one wrist to the other. I wish I could find the video of this one really sweet epic trade of an absolutely gigantic bracelet. Anyway 😅)

I was absolutely NOT familiar of Kandi bracelets; I’ve seen them but I had no clue that this was the association with them!!

This is so so cute and thank you SO much for telling me about this!! I will absolutely be incorporating kandi into their dynamic cause this is so gosh darn precious🥺🩵💜
