When I was a teen I wanted to be cool and buy some chains to hang around my belt loops but my mom thought it's too expensive when we looked at them at Hot Topic. Then we were at a pet shop and similar looking chain leads were a fraction of the cost and she got those for me instead lol

Did you upgrade to furry them?
EZPZ. Doesn't cost a dime.

What's that animation from?
Cas'l by Bruce Brickford. Enjoy your clay carnage.
Thank you, I will.
Alas I'm not a furry just an edgy teen. Wasn't even aware of them back then
That's exactly what someone with a $4,000 fur suit in their closet would say
Your mom introduced you DIY.
When I was a teen I wore the chain from a hanging houseplant as a necklace. I wasn't goth or anything, just a fucking moron.
I wasn’t goth or anything, ~~just a fucking moron.~~
just fucking cool. Don't let Big Interior Decor tell you what to do with your hanging houseplant chains!
The second chain on my chain wallet was from PetSmart.
[off topic]
Wanted a litter box for my 12 pound cat. Largest litter box at the pet store was $35.00. Found a bigger, stronger box at the hardware store for $8.00. And it comes with a sealing lid.
Don't buy those stupid New Rock shoes, get military boots from the surplus store
gotta be a little careful buying cheap boots bc sometimes they're made out of cheap leather that reeks to high heaven. or they're made out of synthentic material that cracks after a couple months. But in general, yes.
I had a pair of urban camo cutoffs that absolutely refused to die that I got for like $5. Paying for "alt" type fashion is just fucking stupid… Where do they think it came from?!
but when i buy my shibari ropes at home depot everyone's at the sex club loses their minds
You can use home depot rope for bandage, you jus5 have to boil it a bunch first to soften it, then use a lighter to burn away the prickly bits. And maybe coat it un a wax.
I'm usually covered in candle wax anyways. It burns soooooo good!!
Hessian bag from some designer brand shop for pretentious twats: £800
Hessian bag for life from several supermarkets: Maybe a few quid
I didn't really want to go in there, but someone else wanted to and I was immediately disgusted at its existence when I looked around.
And they actually work 😎
goths wear chains?
Gotta keep em under control
its about time for the mainstream to go goth.
Metalheads or hard rockers occasionally used to, when I was young. From the hardware store of course.
I can't count the number of times my buddy had to go back to the car cuz he forgot he was wearing his chains until we got to the door and had to be patted down/wanded lol
And so did 80s gang members!

Those two douchebags don't know who they are messing with!
Some of them do... Or at least, they did - I mostly remember seeing it when I was in high school, and it sort of faded out when I was in college. Not sure if it fell out of style, or if it's only a thing with the Hot Topic/mall goth crowd
Edit: uncorrected an accidental autocorrect
It probably got outlawed by school dress codes / anti-weapons policies.
