Oldschool lolita and 80s goth were supreme when it comes to outfits, I miss the punkish experimental vibe of these subcultures. Like it's so cookie cutter now. Way too many goths look the same (don't come for me, I've been attending goth events for over a decade and the clones are cloning. It got so much worse, tumblr isn't free of goth clones either). Lolitas basically want to crucify people who are being experimental. Not all of them obviously, I feel like it's mostly beginners, but there's a lot of that happening anyways. It's all so matchy-matchy all the time, so BORING. Like do the Fruits magazine things, just do you! It's ok to be matchy-matchy sometimes, but don't put yourself into a box. The labels are making people so repetitive. Where's the creativity???

I'm not into the whole "DIY or die" goth mindset, but the subculture became very materialistic, even though so many goths say they're anti-capitalists. So which one is it? It's completely doable to be goth without DIY, but also without cookie cutter brands like Killstar. Having some pieces is obviously fine, but gigantic hauls aren't exactly post-punk. And again it's BORING. Just either thrift or even but fast fashion in small quantities, depends if your country has cheap thrift stores. In Poland, where I'm from, it's completely normal to find a 100% wool coat with 100% natural silk lining in a thrift shop for $2, but when I went thrifting in Germany it was kinda worse in comparison to h&m, so stick to what's comfortable financially to you, just don't overdo the shopping and buy responsibly. Also Germans fix your thrift stores. It's supposed to be affordable and sustainable and you're ruining it for profit.

my true form. i wanna look like this every day now

Me and the guy who does whatever I ask because I'm always doing some freaky shit in the sack

Just chiming in to say that Adriana is slept on as a goth name. 1) Adrian was the name of the antichrist in the classic movie Rosemary's Baby, and this is a female derivative 2) One meaning of the name Adriana is "dark"/"the dark one"

The 'odd couple' trope tickles me so

feelin' dark & delicate

Here’s a Ruby WIP for ya~

Transparent Below!:

Have a great day~

Here’s variations on a Ruby outfit. (I know I put up a poll but I got impatient. I am working on the outfit that won the poll though, which was B.)

Outfit Inspirations Below!:

(Each image was found on Pinterest)

The cloak was inspired by the Fixing RWBY redesign (made by the Sketchy Huntsman, specifically the wonderful @swirlmup and @butterflybluelady)! Is the emblem on her skirt and her cloak too much? I’ve always been interested in adding green to Ruby’s pallette (like the stem of the rose), but I’m always afraid she’ll end up looking like Christmas. How did I do? The yellow bow was a reference to my Blake redesign (and Yang):

I feel like I was less experimental with her color palette than my recent Weiss redesign. But you can’t make her outfit too red because she has her giant red cloak. Ruby might become a big red blob with too much red, and the black works so well to emphasize the red. (I guess what ain’t broke don’t fix it?) Do you think making the black of her outfit a very very dark green or blue? Maybe I should have tried using dark brown as an accent color. I was also afraid of making Ruby less goth/emo since it’s a unique trait of hers that I like and differentiates her from other characters with similar personalities.

Tagging @thatguythatdrawsalot because they might like it (and hopefully give me some advice).

Have a great day!!!
