Ah retazos

I’ve been listening to Life Will Change every morning for the past two weeks because of my recent Persona fixation

"Recent", ey?

It comes and goes

I need to design a hoodie based off of this man’s entire discography bc I love him, but his Merch is kinda mid.

Relatable

I love KH, but it’s been hard as hell to find decent merch since KH3

And unfortunately I’m uncreative

Saint Mesa I love you but…

His merch is so mid 😭

I like the skull, but It’s not even in red.

looks like something you'd buy at hot topic

NVM IM STUPID IT DOES COME IN RED.

That’s slightly better.

RIGHT?

I hate how accurate this comment is

idk why

it's black, it's baggy, it's got skull imagery

and that screams hot topic to me

the "we want to be punk but are also big capitalists" store

I man most Hot Topic merch I like; it’s any of their “goth” stuff that makes me cringe

They’re posers and they know it

mhm

the thing that makes me cringe is their merch that pretends to be DIY

like... the entire point of DIY is... you know... do it yourself

I don’t really buy clothes/costumes anymore bc I can just make them myself or get something cooler at a thrift store.

exactly! that's punk!

That’s an invaluable skill

I bought a denim jacket at a thrift store once
now it's a patched and painted denim vest and 2 studded denim bracelets

which... hot topic would proce the bracelets alone at like.... 10 bucks a piece
and the vest they would WAY over charge at like 40

this jacket cost me like... 8 bucks?]

I’m almost “anti-punk” as much as I hate to admit it. My life is so busy that I strive for convenience wherever I can get it.

nothing wrong with not being punk

It just seems so boring and lame in comparison, that’s all

The only thing I’d WANT from a Hot Topic are those pants that 2012 Sora cosplayers would wear casually.

Someone asks where I got my clothes, I say “uhhhh idk Target?”, end of conversation

lmao

I actually have had people ask where I bought my vest

I used to get band/media shirts from HT.

Not so much anymore.
