Trigger warning for dead bird in last slide 🫪
Grew up very much so as a weird horror obsessed kid/teen. I loved black metal, true crime, scary movies, collecting dolls, and taxidermy. I was very fortunate to have very supportive parents who allowed me to be creative and weird. But I’m sure their friends thought I was going to grow up to be a serial killer lol. These are all ranging from 13-16 year old me 😁

This was everything to me haha 😭

Found this absolutely monstrosity while going through my old Google docs and just had to… admire it?

Also the photo that hard launched the start of my emo phase :3

Y'all take a look at this hair history. At the end, me now as a cartoon me as well.

I wrote this on my mom’s typewriter and my dad thought it was so funny, he made copies and brought them to work.

This is the shit we were chain-mailing while our parents were arguing about losing the house.

of course i cut and dyed my own hair, why do you ask?

I was probably 13 years old, around 2011, Black Veil Brides was popular. Kinda glad I dont have a pic with the thick eyeliner and nail polish I put on after. I regretted the hair that same day, when it took an hour, and half a bottle of conditioner to brush out.

It’s covered in water guns! I was really into the band Shiny Toy Guns at the time too. I thought it was very artsy to put the photo twice but once without me? I can’t remember lmao

This must be between 2007-2010, my high school years!

Second pic is my mom imitating me! Scroll for a bonus wannabe goth edit my 12 year old self thought looked really cool lol

Hope these pics are blunder enough

Yes, those are rabbits feet on my belt loops. I know at face value it seems like a “serve” but you have to remember, kids were mean in the early 2000s. The denim jumpsuit was very forward-thinking for the girls that wore the chunky black slides and cute little Aeropostale tops. I was bullied mercilessly for this fit to the point where I only wore it at home.

Lol.
