HC: How would they react to their s/o who drastically changed their appearance (began dressing Alt)
and which Alt style would they like the most!
WTTG1-2-3, Dead Signal, Scrutinized x fem!reader
He spends way too much time online, so he actually knows what goth, emo, punk, lolita are. His knowledge doesn't go much deeper than those popular styles, but he gets the general idea and can recognize the styles.
With the amount of money he has, he'd buy you anything you so much as looked at. You could insist you don't need it or try to decline, but he'd ignore you and buy it anyway. To him, it's no big deal.
At first, he assumed your fashion phase would be temporary. He figured you'd get bored in a few months and move on to the next trend. Except... you never did.
And, to his own surprise, he ended up loving your aesthetic.
He even commissioned a painting of you sitting elegantly on one of the sofas in the mansion and hung it in his office, where he gets to look at it whenever he's working.
Out of all the styles, I hc he would like Dark Lolita, Hime Gyaru, and Visual Kei. There's just something about the elegance and dramatic flair that catches his attention every time.
He really loves your style, whether it's dark and edgy or soft and cute. As long as it's something you genuinely enjoy, he'll adore it.
Considering he's covered in tattoos himself, if his partner also has tattoos or piercings? He's absolutely obsessed.
He's the type to come home exhausted after a long day, immediately collapse into bed with you, wrap an arm around your waist, and absentmindedly trace your tattoos with his fingertips while the two of you unwind in silence.
If you're wearing heavy makeup, he'll actually stop himself from kissing your cheeks because he doesn't want to ruin it. Instead, he'll kiss the top of your head, your hands—anywhere he won't smudge the hours of work you put into your look.
Thinking about getting a new tattoo or piercing? He'll insist on taking you to the artist and piercer he trusts. He's surprisingly meticulous about hygiene and aftercare, asking a million questions and making sure everything is sterile before letting anyone touch you. Afterwards, he'll remind you to clean it properly and probably check on it more often than you do.
His favorite aesthetics would probably be Trad Goth or Emo. Something about the dark aesthetic does it for him.
This man is an absolute menace.
He knows everything about your style—not because he was already interested in it, but because he spent an embarrassing amount of time researching it. He'll randomly hit you with obscure facts about your fashion just to prove he knows what he's talking about.
And then he'll use that knowledge to ragebait you every chance he gets.
Unlike Lucas, who tries not to mess up your makeup, Tanner does it on purpose. He'll kiss your cheek just to leave a lipstick mark or smudge your blush, run his fingers through the hair you spent an hour backcombing, or casually "fix" an accessory that was perfectly fine before he touched it.
He likes your style, don't get him wrong.
He just likes your reactions even more.
Watching you huff, pout, and dramatically complain after he ruined your hard work does something to him. The grin on his face is enough to make you want to square up.
Going out together always earns the two of you some confused stares. You, dressed head-to-toe in an extravagant alternative outfit, standing next to Tanner in his painfully clean, clinical, beige wardrobe. You look like complete opposites... somehow it works.
As for his favorite style? Tsuyome Gyaru and Agejo Gyaru. (I will NOT discuss this. 💋🫶)
I'm sorry, but this man is literally the embodiment of the "I want a goth mommy" meme. 👋😭
He's chronically online, so alternative fashion has been all over his feed for years. At some point, he realized he really wanted an alt partner, and honestly? Dreams do come true.
He's the type to happily record TikToks or Reels for you—whether you're filming a parapara, showing off your coord of the day, or just doing one of those outfit transition videos. He somehow knows all the best angles despite insisting he "has no idea what he's doing."
Whenever you're getting ready, he'll quietly sit nearby and watch you do your makeup like it's the most captivating thing he's ever seen. An hour of blending eyeshadow, applying lashes, and fixing eyeliner? He could genuinely sit through the entire process without getting bored.
He loves asking questions, too.
"Why do you glue the lashes under your real ones?"
"Wait... that's contour? I thought you already did that."
He may not understand every step, but he's fascinated by the amount of effort and creativity that goes into your look.
He's also your biggest hype man. The second you're done, he's already telling you to spin around so he can admire the full outfit before immediately reaching for his phone.
"Hold on, don't move—you look so good."
As for his favorite aesthetics, Jirai Kei, Pastel Goth, or an E-girl look.
The first time he sees you dressed up, he just stares.
Slowly looks you up... then down.
Then, in his thick Russian accent and broken English:
"…What... are you wearing?"
He's genuinely trying to figure out if this is a joke, a costume, or if people actually dress like that on purpose.
Unlike the others, alternative fashion really isn't his thing. He can appreciate the effort that goes into it, but aesthetically? It's just not for him. He'd much rather see you in something simple and practical.
That said, he's not the type to make a huge deal out of it. If dressing like that makes you happy, he'll eventually shrug and accept it, even if he never quite understands the appeal.
Tattoos and piercings, though?
Those get a surprisingly practical reaction.
He'd give them a quick once-over before humming in approval.
"Women with tattoos and piercings... not easy to traffic. Easy to recognize."
It's not meant to be romantic or flattering—that's just genuinely how his mind works. He immediately thinks in terms of identification, safety, and making someone harder to target.
He'd probably remind you to keep your piercings clean or ask where you got your tattoos done, not because he's interested in the art itself, but because he wants to know the place was reputable.
If he had to pick an alternative style he could tolerate, it'd probably be Himekaji Gyaru. It's toned down enough that he can understand the appeal, even if he'll never fully "get" the fashion scene as a whole.
This guy genuinely does not care what you wear.
Alternative fashion, casual clothes, dresses, pajamas—it makes absolutely no difference to him. If you enjoy dressing up, then he'll simply watch with quiet curiosity.
What he does care about is the theatricality of it all.
The dramatic silhouettes. The lace. The leather. The makeup. The exaggerated accessories.
He finds it entertaining.
In a way, your outfits remind him of costumes for a performance, and considering he's a man who lives for spectacle, he can't help but appreciate the effort.
That doesn't mean he'll leave you alone, though.
Much like Tanner, he loves getting a reaction out of you.
One evening, after returning from one of his "shows," he walked over to greet you with a perfectly innocent smile.
Only after he'd hugged you did you notice the smear of fresh blood across your carefully coordinated outfit.
He claims it was an accident.
He'll watch you gasp in horror before trying—and failing—to hide the amused smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Deep down, his ideal image of you isn't wearing any specific fashion style.
It's you, completely dressed up in your favorite coord, flawless makeup untouched...
...except for the crimson blood splattered across the fabric like it was part of the design.
Like the final act of a play..
Like I said, he doesn't care whatever style you wear, but I guess if he had to choose, he'd take something light. Blood is seen better in pale clothing.
Out of everyone, Myra is probably your biggest supporter.
She absolutely adores your style and never wants you to change it. Whether it's dark, cute, flashy, or somewhere in between, she'll always compliment the effort you put into your outfits.
She loves that it's yours.
To her, fashion is another way you express yourself, and seeing you confident in your favorite clothes makes her genuinely happy.
If you ever start doubting yourself after getting weird looks in public, she's immediately there to reassure you.
"They're staring because you look gorgeous. Let them."
Everything she does is with one goal in mind: seeing you smile.
She's incredibly protective.
You're already beautiful enough to attract attention naturally, and when you pair that with an eye-catching alternative style... she can't help but worry.
Every time you go out alone, a little voice in the back of her mind starts imagining the worst-case scenario.
It's everyone else she doesn't trust.
She'll ask you to text her when you arrive somewhere, make sure your phone is charged before you leave, and probably remind you to carry something for self-defense "just in case."
Shopping together quickly becomes one of her favorite dates.
She'll happily spend hours following you from store to store, carrying your bags without complaint while you excitedly show her different pieces.
"Wait—this would look cute with your platform boots."
She may not know every alternative fashion substyle by name, but she'll learn them because they're important to you.
The same goes for your music.
You'll introduce her to your favorite bands, explaining the different genres, the history behind them, and why you love them so much. At first, she'll mostly be listening because you are the one talking, but before long she'll find herself genuinely enjoying the songs too.
Don't be surprised if, a few weeks later, you catch her humming one of your favorite tracks or asking you to put on "that one song" while you're driving.
If your favorite band ever announces a concert nearby, she's already looking for tickets before you've even finished reading the announcement.
"But what if they're expensive?"
By the end of the shopping trip, she's somehow convinced you to leave with at least one extra outfit... because she secretly wanted to see you wear it all along.
And if you're excited to get dressed up for a concert together? She'll be just as excited—mostly because she gets to see the smile on your face when your favorite band walks onto the stage.
Whenever Myra has free time, she spends all of it with you.
Her job takes up most of her life, so every free moment she gets is dedicated to you. Whether you're shopping, listening to music, watching a movie, or simply relaxing together, she wouldn't rather be anywhere else.
Being with you is her escape. It's the only time she can truly relax, let her guard down, and forget about work for a while.
In a way, you're her therapy.
She would love any style!
Patrick definitely has a soft spot for darker aesthetics, but like Myra, he doesn't really care what style you wear. As long as you're happy and feel confident, that's all that matters to him.
When you're getting ready, he'll casually steal your vanity chair, only to pull you onto his lap a second later. While you focus on your makeup, he'll absentmindedly trace your neck, shoulders, or waist with his fingertips, quietly admiring the process.
He loves watching you transform your look. Whether it takes twenty minutes or two hours, he'll happily keep you company, occasionally commenting on how pretty you already looked before insisting you somehow look even prettier now.
He'll also be the first to notice the little details—a new pair of earrings, different lashes, a fresh lipstick, or a new accessory in your coord.
"That's new, isn't it? It suits you."
If someone stares at you because of your style, he'll simply wrap an arm around your waist and keep walking, completely unbothered. As far as he's concerned, they're staring because you look good.
His preferred styles would probably be goth, punk, visual kei, or rokku gyaru. Anything with dramatic makeup, dark colors, and a confident attitude immediately catches his eye.
