Sometimes I think my Hot Topic emo fit is rough and then I go to ren faire and see a goth in 10x as many layers or someone in a full fursuit and I cannot fathom the dedication.

Real goths don't go outside during summer.
I'd foster a goth girl if any are in need of rehoming.
That's the trick to goth girls. You think you're adopting them, but they've adopted you.
I don't care who the collar goes on, as long as I'm happy.
I don't want much out of life, but this is it
So they're like cats.
Yes
We don't tend to like people and are slow to warm up
are slow to warm up
That must be nice in a heatwave
Ken Jennings is a surprisingly funny internet commenter and author. His books are actually pretty good, I wouldn't have predicted that 20 years ago.
I’m not surprised his books are good, he was college roommates with Brandon Sanderson.
Seems like he has a good niche. It's such a shame he was picked to host the show though.
Why?
Last year a goth femboy friend of mine went on a river float trip.
I was really curious to see what he'd look like under all that.
He wore two layers of shirts, fishnets, and baggy black pants. With striped socks of course.
And then wore the dripping outfit to dinner after.
Dedication.
Soggy goth femboys sounds like a goth band that covers blue grass...
In the Big Goth Candy Mountains
You always wear black socks
And the little streams of mascara
Come a-trickling down the rocks
Now I want the full song. I can sing if we can scrounge up the rest of the band.
The Soggy Bottom Boys have fallen on hard times
I had a similar experience, but ours only wore swim shorts and nearly died of hypothermia. I had to swim his tube to a random dock so he could warm up.
Fortunately many goths have more albedo than their non goth equivalents which can help mitigate the effects
I like how all the photos for the Google AI blurb are from anime
Pffft, an umbrella and net stockings will work pretty well for both arms and legs in summer. And they also make goth boots in non-thigh-high variants.
Yeah. Band shirt with cut-off sleeves. Black shorts. Black converse hi-tops. OP only applies to insta e-girls/boys.
Yeah I was gonna say those fishnet tops look pretty ventilated.
Was Ken Jennings a Goth kid? He would’ve graduated high school in the early 90s so he’s the right age…
Maybe secretly? I felt like I always liked it but wouldnt jump into the style
The Cure for hyperthermia is prevention.

Goth Night at the Kadan, in the early 2000s, was kick ass! Best part was that Kadan was a dive bar, in the kinda-sketch-not-yet-gentrified neighborhood of Normal Heights, the rest of the week. But for that one night the freaks and bats came out to get hammered! It’s some lame mustachioed hipster cocktail bar now. The whole hood turned into a hipster trainwreck.
Anyway, Goths were good fun! And yes, summer in San Diego posed a complexion problem! 🤣
Reminds me of Northern West Palm. It's sad to see awesome things go.
