I don't mean this as an insult, My first thought when I saw this was redneck goth.

That's pretty much the crust punk aesthetic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where is the crust on a crust punk?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

The collar I think

Can someone explain to a cishet old fart what the deal is with the soft toy? Don’t get me wrong they look sweet but what’s the meme I’m out of the loop on?

blahaj is trans icon

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guessed that given the context. What’s the origin story of the wee fluffy shark becoming an icon?

I’ve seen it on unixsocks before too.

Basically people noticed the colors of Blahaj were similar to that of the trans flag. They'd take funny pictures of Blahaj in weird places. After the meme took off, IKEA made a couple of references and leaned into it, which made it even more of an icon.

Ah cool thanks. :) So Blahaj has been adopted and embraced. Is the name a classic IKEA thing?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

Yes, just like basically everything else IKEA sells, BlΓ₯haj it's Swedish. Means "blue shark".

Blahaj is truly the best partner in gender terrorism

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I like your dress :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

thanks! :D

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Cool look, you could certainly frighten a small conservative town with that

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

The angle and the stripes make it look like your legs are 18" long tops. Lol.

Love the hat.

I love this outfit and aesthetic so much, holy shit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

At first I thought this was kinda silly, but then I realized that the silliness only multiplies its awesomeness

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Ah so much gender in one photo.

I want that hat. And the jacket. And the blahaj.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

All hail puppo!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Nice hat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

ohai thought I'd recognized you from the linux phone review

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Cuuuuuuute

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Add zip, make bag?

(doesn't even have to be inside, could add one on the harness/outside)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This sounds like a good idea. What kind of harness did you use? Was it intended for a specific pet, or...?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

juuuust a tiny dog harness i got at a thrift store :3
