How do you make wierdcore? Like how do you just go "I'm gonna put black squares on a picture of grass and say 'don't look at them' !"?
hello!! :) ill answer here with a few tips:
- find good base images!! i use pinterest and imgur, as well as looking through old photos i have. if u see something that would be a good wc image, save it! build an archive! ive even gotten images from screenshots of memes and youtube thumbnails. follow weirdcore blogs here on tumblr to find inspiration! here are a few of my wc friends! >> @8mys @elckip @awd00men @home03 @unorcadox
- think about your feelings! kinda scary, but a central part of weirdcore is portraying abstract emotions! weird phrase bouncing around in your head? make it a caption! only have one sentence to describe ur mood? smack it on!
- nostalgia!! a core element!! think about things from your childhood that make you feel nostalgic, scared, or even lonely.
- from the example you used, what makes that edit work is the fact it takes something mundane (grass) and makes it unnerving (adding the censor boxes and the urgent caption). its about being put in a place to view something normal that you somehow dont understand, similar to how we see the world as children! things are altered, unreal yet real at the same time, sort of like the uncanny valley effect!
hope this helps!! im also going to make a more detailed post about my personal editing process with more do's and don'ts of weirdcore, which ill happily tag you in!! feel free to DM if you have any more questions <3
how does this look?
i didn’t really know what to do so it probably sucks

i really like this!! its a great first edit. id maybe crop out some of the bottom/top of the image to just tighten things up a bit, and you could experiment by adding some sparkles perhaps? those are personal preference though. this isnt bad at all!! :) keep this image saved, and try out some more things to make a different version. you could even clone/erase some of the petals or leaves. just try some shiz.
