Simple Halloween Look 

Went to a Halloween wedding yesterday! So of course I had to wear a black dress!


For context, I’m 20F. I’ve been alternative since I was 11 years old. I was horribly abused my whole childhood by my mother, father, and uncle—who all have very narcissistic and traits. They’re all MAGA people and I grew up strictly evangelical & homeschooled, duggar style. A few years ago, my parents left the cult and denounced protestantism, but they’re still super conservative and traditionalist.

As I’ve gotten older and developed more of a sense of independence, they’ve gotten more hateful towards the way I dress, specifically my mother. 

I tend to wear all black, pink, or white. I don’t go crazy with makeup really, I use pale foundation and black eyeliner and usually try to make myself look like a creepy doll. I like porcelain dolls a lot and it’s obvious in the way I do my makeup. I sometimes wear different colored wigs and black color contacts to intensify the dolly look. 

If you want a good representation of how my aesthetic looks, search “bambi baker” and “jewlsjuless” on google. 

Anyway, my mom fucking hates me for it. She accuses me of being a satanist and says I’m “obsessed with darkness”, inviting demons into my life, that I’m abnormal, and that I’m playing with my soul. She says this isn’t who she raised me to be and that she’ll never accept my “fucked up obsessions” (alt culture, horror, oddities, metal, macabre things)

Her and my dad say I “don’t have the right to go around terrorizing our community” by looking the way I do and “scaring people”. Which is quite ironic, because I get compliments almost everywhere I go.

It’s really severely impacted my self-esteem. I’ve cried over it countless times in the last several months, and sometimes I can’t even bring myself to go downstairs if I’m dressed up because I know they’ll say something hateful and degrading about my moral character. 

My mom even implied that she thinks I secretly DO worship satan, and that she doesn’t even know where my morals stand anymore. 

I told her I just want her to at least try to put effort into understanding me. She said it’s unreasonable to expect her to understand or accept me, because I have something she doesn’t (schizoaffective disorder) as if that somehow has anything to do with me being alternative.

It’s really hurtful and I don’t really know what to think of it.

My mother says I’m “not who she raised me to be” because I’m goth.

My WFH Halloween Outfit

New pants! (\^-^/)

Just Existing 

My black vampire outfit

Have been using make up like on 2nd pic most of the time. Dark red circles around the eyes to make eye sockets more pronounced. But always wanted to branch out into something less casual. Unfortunately my eye shape is terrible due to how the upper eyelid is placed (added some photos for reference). Tried smokey eyes with black shade, but doesn't work exactly for that reason. Was hoping for some recommendations or advice. Would greatly appreciate your help.

Another Halloween look

Going for a bit of a Corporate Goth look 🖤

Hi, female here. I saw a post recently asking for tips on romantic goth looks on men and I was bummed to see every comment just recommending expensive brocard jackets. Here are my simple tips to achieve that vampire Lord look!

1. Long hair.

Long hair on men, when nicely cared for, gives off that well-dressed or mystical look, even on textured or afro hair!!! For afro hair you can go for clean braids and a few jewels on them too!

2. Original and inconic beard grooming. I love the look of Senneca Crane from Hunger Games, if I had a beard, I try those fun squiggles all day long!! Not easy to do but practice should make perfect, and it's just like makeup. If you prefer a long beard, go ham on nordic-inspired jewels for that Ice king look.

3. Jabots and other easy to handmake accessories!!! You don't have to buy over the top expensive shirts and jackets. Just a simple basic one, accessorized with a jabot, cravat, tie or bow can really darken and spice up a boring shirt. Add some frilly cuffs and other buttons, and you'll be good. Easy to thrift or make yourself too!

4. Brooches, brooches and BROOCHES! Brooches on your vests, on your jabots, on your collar, attach chains to brooches. You can look expensive with brooches that you can find even at the flea market or second-hand. I promise, I use brooches everywhere and everyone says I look like a princess, it's game changer!

Hope that helps! 🌹🖤 Don't be shy, you're super handsome and cool!

Tips for romantic gothic for MALES

Here’s this year’s Halloween costume. I knew I wanted to be LRRH, but the costumes weren’t enough, lol. Got this costume by Leg Avenue, and added a shrug underneath + a waist corset by Lip Service, then boots to match by Demonia! I love how it turned out! 🖤

Little red riding hood this Halloween! 🧺🪓

Hello everyone! ive been goth for about 2 years now but im still extremely new to the style. I like a more punky goth rather than the formal goth and i recently became interested in adding the color cyan and gold jewelry to my outfits. Is there any way to do this without losing the obvious presentation of being goth?

Im a baby bat experimenting with cyan accents!

Got dumped yesterday, found out my bank account is at zero, and sprained my ankle today. But at least I looked good a few nights back?
