the best thing about being goth is that you can actually convince small kids you're a vampire. and they love it.
trust me when i say nothing beats a person barely half your height coming up to you and asking you if you're "a dracula" and being absolutely DELIGHTED when you say yes
I had an experience of being the kid reacting to a punk Mohawk.
when I was 4 years old, my family went on a roadtrip and at a gas station I saw something that shattered my little animal loving world view.
I saw someone with a Mohawk for the first time-it was a HUGE colourful Mohawk sticking straight up, mocking gravity- And I just stared, eyes bugged out, mouth agape, gawking through the car window at a poor unaware man. Finally my mom asked me what was wrong And I answered in a hushed voice I said:
“mom.............it’s a horseman.”
4 year old me thought the Mohawk was a mane and I was in deep shock. I legit thought this guy was part horse.
