Wednesday, December 20.
You there, boy, what day is it (almost)
Why, sir, we are but mere days from the winter solstice, known otherwise as the darkest day of the year. Naturally, you'll find all things gothic trending on Tumblr today. Long may it continue.

Anniversary Gifts: Gothic Edition
Ever since Aleister Crowley wrote the definitive list of wedding anniversary gifts in 1899, the tradition has carried on with presents of Paper for the first anniversary, Gold for the 50th, Diamond for the 60th, and many fun ventures in between.
But what can the discerning goth give a loved one or polycule for their anniversary while avoiding the common Victorian tradition?
Here is the official list by the most famous goth of all, Orval Madden:
1- Spider-Themed Jewelry
2- Black Leather Or PVC
3- One (1) Vincent Price Movie On VHS
4- Barnes & Noble’s Leatherbound “Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe”
5- Cloth Cut From A Condemned Clergyman, Or A Nice Hourglass With A Little Silver Skull On It
10- Darkness, Sadness, And Pain (Written In Calligraphy On Framed Parchment)
20- Bloodborne for PS4, Or One (1) Tear From Your Cheek In A Glass Vial
30- Complete Skeleton Of A Small Animal, Or One (1) Human Bone
40- All Siouxsie “MixTape” On A Wax Phonograph Cylinder
50- Live Bats
60- Your First Childhood Toy, Damaged By Time And Neglect, Which Once Unveiled Reminds You Of The Last Time You Felt Hope And Grew Painfully Beyond it, Declaring That You Would No Longer Feel, Only Days Later Meeting Your True Love, Tragically Forever Unable To Embrace Them With Anything More Than A Sad Memory Of What You Once Believed Love Could Be.
66- Bela Lugosi’s Corpse

The difference between goth and deathrock is that goths are autistic and deathrockers are ADHD.
