I haven't posted pictures of myself in some time soooo, here's some! I ramble a bit after the photos, just a heads up
So, I wanted to just ramble a bit. If you compare these photos to my others, you'll see some different stuff- different location, and outfits. But I've gained weight.
It was...and still is hard for me. I struggle with my body image. But posting this, taking these photos helps me feel good. My clothes are made to fit me. I can rock any style.
I feel like in goth cultures it's very much...hm....prized to be skinny. I don't think it's so much like that now, I think people are moving away from that but still, you don't see a ton of plus sized goths when you look for outfit inspo. I wanna be someone's outfit inspo! I wanna be the reason someone feels comfy enough to dress how they want because, I needed that when I was younger.
[VD: A grayscale Magnus Archives animatic of Jon and Gerry talking in episode 111 of The Magnus Archives. Gerry, a ghostly goth, and Jon, a thin brown man in a graphic T-shirt, sit together at a table. Gerry says scornfully, "Playing politics with things they didn’t understand. Reckoned her tradition was less the academic and more the, uh…" Jon offers dryly, "V-Village witch?"
Gerry laughs, pleased, and asks, "You sure you don’t know her?" He sighs, sobers, and says, "Yeah. But deep down what she wanted wasn’t all that different from the ivory tower idiots she hated. Y’know, I think, secretly, she dreamed of starting a little mystic dynasty of her own." He grimaces. "With me."
Jon says a little eagerly, "Like the, the Lukases? Or the Fairchilds?" Gerry corrects, "Well, Fairchild’s just a name, they’re not really family." Then he does a finger gun and says, "The Lukases, though, yeah."
He turns away, pensive and frowning, and says, "Thing is, it’s harder than it looks. What’s out there… doesn’t care about blood." Jon, grinning a little, says, "Well, I-I mean, except for the vampires…" Gerry scowls, "Yeah, obviously except for the vampires." Jon looks abashed, and Gerry looks down sorrowfully to say, "But they care about your choices, your fears, not your parents." End VD]
