Escape From Norman

The Characters from left to right are, Edward, Miyuki, Violetta, and Gersch. Oh yeah, and Norman, the giant mutant frog from the planet captular. I decided to do a comical little early Halloween picture for a Goth Confessions art Contest. Its suppose to be like a little horror movie, but all the characters are goth. I’ve been doing a little Graphic work on the side so I just finished this. I thought it’d be nice to see some PoC goths too so…. meh, i drew some. Enjoy, everyone!!!!!!!!!image

THAT CONTEST WAS IN OCTOBER BUT I JUST SAW THIS AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH LOOK AT THAT CHARACTER ON THE FAR RIGHT I LOVE THEM

Hmm, we have never had anyone want to promote themselves on our blog. I will post this one, but lets not go crazy with people making a habit out of this! -Batss

Explaination as to WHY goth isnt a lifestyle.

Who are you to tell what is or isn’t? I fail to see
Goth is a music subculture. not a lifestyle like veganism.
1. Lifestyle definition: a set of attitudes, habits, or possessions associated with a particular person or group
2. such attitudes, etc., regarded as fashionable or desirable
.
With that said. You can have such attitudes, habits or possessions associated with goth and THAT WOULD STILL NOT MAKE YOU A GOTH.
FOR FUCKING EXAMPLE:
Billy may dress dark. May like Elvira. He may even like The Cure and live in a house that looks like Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas. He may even wear dark, lots of black make up. But, Billy doesn’t consider himself goth. Does that mean he lives a goth lifestyle?
NO. IT DOESN’T. BECAUSE GOTH ISN’T A LIFESTYLE.
It just means Billy is a dark person. NOT A GOTH. Why? Cause Billy doesn’t associate with the goth subculture.
BOOM.
There it is.

Hello, so I’ve been into the Gothic subculture, basically since I could think on my own, but I’ve only been dressing with the fashion for about 4-5 years. My parents got mad when I started, but eventually got off my back, as long as I “Toned it down” I just want to be able to dress in the way I want. I feel like myself in black. I used to have black hair, and all black clothes, and my mom talked me into adding color, and dying my hair different colors.. I like my hair, but I want to wear black again and such. I feel odd wearing colored skinny jeans.. But I’m afraid they’ll get mad, and “shut me down” so to say.. I want to wear black lipstick so bad, but I’m so scared they will just.. flip.. I just want to be myself.. I want to feel beautiful.. I feel fake, and ugly.. Any advice? Thank you<3
