Completely and utterly correct

My life, your love. With this diamond I marry us💜

Seven stars in the still water,

And seven in the sky;

Seven sins on the King's daughter,

Deep in her soul to lie.

(By Oscar Wilde)

Advice for 🦇Baby Bats🦇

I'm Mama Bat, otherwise known as Jane, and I've been a goth for about 6 years now, so I would just like to share some advice for any baby bats just starting out 🖤

Fashion- You absolutely do not have to dress like a goth to be goth. That's why theres different names! The fashion is gothic, you can dress gothic, but goth is a musical subculture darlings. Therefore all you need to do be goth is listen to goth music

Some bands I recommend for starters: Lebanon Hanover, The cure (is a classic of course..), Siouxie and the Banshees (another big name in the goth music culture), London After Midnight, Christian Death, Scary Bitches, Depeche Mode, She Wants Revenge, Joy Divison, Twin Tribes, Bauhaus, Twin Temple, and so many more good ones, I'll leave my spotifi playlist at the bottom 🖤

PLEASE know just because someone releases music that is "edgy" or "sad", it is not Goth... Goth music fall under: Goth rock, new wave, dark wave, ethereal wave, industrial, post punk, cold wave... You get the point

Know the history! Goth music started in late 1970s, the first song to be considered goth was Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus. Back in the day there was a Goth club called The Batcave was located in London and that was the haven for goths in that time. Goth music continued to evolve throughout time as you know and here we are

Fashion! (deeper context) I know this is an often brought up topic, as I mentioned earlier the fashion is INSPIRED, its not part of the music subculture necessarily. There's many fashion categories to the gothic fashion, Trad goth, romantic goth, victorian gothic, cabaret goth, cyber goth, ect ect

Now, I know clothes are expensive..especially in this economy, but for christ sake DONT support fast shopping! Brands like dolls kill, shein, kill star, temu..dare I say Amazon..ugh..no. They go against everything we stand for, I understand its convenient but...you really don't want your hard earned coin going to people like Jeff Bezos.

Instead! Opt for exploring your creative bone! Its said a lot to thrift but I have to agree, and also..DIY is so much fun. Sewing is a great hobby to pick up as well in my opinion, but of course you could always just buy some spikes and what not for hobby lobby or whatever crafts store you like and hot glue them on.

If DIY isnt your thing, there ARE some lovely gothic brands online, I personally like devilnight.co.uk but the downside is they're quite pricey. If theres a gothic small buisness SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT!!! LOVE SMALL BUSINESSES!!

The goth community is quite nice, of course theres going to be some means ones which is quite baffling to me that..as a subculture that is often criticized or made dun if that theres goth people who criticize baby bats because...hoe you were once one too?? And ive met a few 'goths' who shit on people exploring their fashion, just don't listen to them we hate those kinds.. If you choose to dress gothic its all about SELF EXPRESSION!! Be as creative and spooky as you want my love🖤

Another type of goth we dont like are conservative goths! Goth, like punk and metal is a rebellious scene so being conservative while being goth is..rather...odd.

Also, fuck white supremacists, racists, homophobes, transphobes, conservatives, people who think they have any right to a woman's body, corporate greed, if you're just a horrible person in general..absolutely not.

Other than that Goth is very welcoming, its said you can't but you can totally be religious and be goth. Being goth doesnt automatically make you a witch or satanist, you can worship Jesus and still be goth if that's what makes you happy, just be a good person!

You can be lgbtqia+, religious, old (elder goths have my full heart and love), a furry, young, disabled, it doesnt matter as long as you're a good person you are welcomed

You can also enjoy pretty much whatever you'd like, your interests don't ALL have to be goth and or gothic. If you want to listen to New Dawn Fades by Joy Division then watch an episode of My Little Pony, that sounds like an amazing day! You do that you're still completely valid.

Alright? 🥰 alright, and if any other goths want to leave any other notes, please do!

Hey,

What ever happend to:

James D Stark?

I loved his music when I found it on VampireFreaks, and always thought he was a bigger name in the Goth genres.

Any extremely similar artists I should listen to?

There are always deer in the cemeteries here.

I had just bought the skirt when the Fog rolled in Thick and Heavy and Fast.

I always drive past this cemetery. I've loved its mausoleums for years.

Tonight, I finally took some classic cemetery goth photos.

I do wish we had a plot for Joe. Some marker somewhere that it would be acceptable, and desired by Joe, for me to take my silly cemetery photos with. So as not to intrude on strange families like I did here. I mean nothing but admiration for the beautiful memorials, and respect for the passed and present families. In my grief, I offer love and reverence to them all.

"I love you Victor, but you're not mine"

This is very old pic and I never got to finish it now but I still wanna show it.
