“I don't think I belong on this planet
Red crescent moons all over my hands
It's too much to take, I can't fucking stand it
Someone tell me
Why am I this way?
Stupid medicine, not doin' anything”

this is my 2nd fucking time typing this all out. i hate tumblr's mobile layout so much you have no idea.
OKAY SO, taking this from the top, I have a "hot take." ( @cxrpse-can , if u wanna weigh in on this topic :3 <3 )
hey babes that had a "2020 alt phase" and now make fun of alt people online,
you were never alt. you were a fucking poser.
I see. FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE ONLINE. who were ""ALT"" back in 2020, laugh at alt people and make fun of them.
Alt people spawned from music genres. Alt POSERS spawned from "tiktok trend" garbage and seriously bad FOMO.
If your "alt phase" was that short even, you never gave a fuck about the actual music. I've also seen people bring up industry plants in the music industry, where these people don't know a thing about alt music and the subculture as a whole. But they're professionally made to look like they're alternative artists.
Alt people themselves have an actual string of morals they all agree with. it is an INGRAINED PART of the community. you want my credentials to this? hi, i was raised by my parents, whom one was in a black metal band, and the other introduced me into most of what I listen to today. as a kid, i remember my mom taking me into a hot topic so she could buy herself stuff in the early 2010s. We're a household of satanists. I am well fucking qualified to give my 2 cents on this.
Alt people stick it to the man. Alt people are really about fighting for what they believe in, and spitting in the face of oppression and authority. The WORD "ALTERNATIVE" IS THAT IT IS ""ALTERNATIVE"" to what SOCIETY DEEMS "NORMAL," it's why over the years, it has become an ALL ENCOMPASSING UMBRELLA TERM. me personally, i dont enjoy being titled "alt," but I've always felt that way. ive felt that way since 2018-2019, when the term became widely used online. my cousin tried telling me, "you're not emo, you're alt. that's what it's called now." - I then looked at her and said "that's stupid, im emo." - But that's honestly just my personal preference.
to my alternative babes,
i love you.
ALL races, sexualities, genders, religions, disabilities, ethnicities, sizes, economic backgrounds... everyone. all of you. you are ALL welcome on my page. I will fight for, and with you, until the day i die. and then the bones of me will keep fighting; for, and with you. you are all wonderful people. truly. dont let posers cramp your style. be yourself, dont let any motherfucker stop you. <3

hi !!
i wanted to make a pinned post, for convenience, so here it is :3 (and a bonus self portrait cus i never do those)
some things about me is that i am autistic, northern irish, a she wants revenge, lebanon hanover, depeche mode, and rosegarden funeral party listener. i crochet, knit, sew, draw, and cook (at various skill levels lmao)
too easily scared to ever get into horror media :C so to get my fill of melancholy i enjoy Jane Eyre, Phantom of the Opera, V for Vendetta, and this podcast about engineering disasters called Well Theres Your Problem. non goth-related i really like Drawfee, Dan and Phil, the podcast Kill James Bond, Hozier, Mitski, and the 1995 series of pride and prejudice
i post my art here, twitter, and instagram. and i try to reblog and follow other alt ppl and artists i see whose stuff i enjoy :3
and very importantly, i am no friend of a bigot. Free Palestine, and the Congo, and Haiti, and every other country suffering under colonialism. black lives matter, racists have no place in alt subcultures (or anywhere else). and neither do transphobes or sexists. i hope nobody reading this finds those statements controversial c:
