"Girl, you can wear whatever you want." It's "escapism." "Fun." Isn't this similar to drag? That fashion ethic of yours is what it should all be about. Although these two aesthetics are "not my style" I felt a freshness and freedom with them that I didn't feel with "Old Money" and "School Uniforms" which are obviously very restrictive. I was glad that this vlog was on cutting edge movements, last year and this. I was glad also that you felt little need for criticism of these aesthetics. I disagreed profoundly with the critic who wrote that these were an appropriation of indigenous astrology culture. Astrology goes back to ancient Mesopotamia, for Christ's sake, but I had to acknowledge that since indigenous people were forbidden to practice their "pagan" culture with saging, etc. but that white girls were, that was appropriation. This vid was a breath of fresh air. Clap out.
I’m mixed white and indigenous and I’m so glad you brought up some of the appropriative practices that both these aesthetics and the aesthetics they’re drawn from, because it was the way some of those aesthetics interacted with my culture that made me hesitant to really dive into them. You’ve clearly spent a lot of time and care on this, which is just really great to see. After watching this, I’m definitely gonna try integrating some whimsigoth pieces into my wardrobe
Finally! I have been waiting on this. I love both fairygrunge and whimsigoth aesthetics. But I hope there is a newer branch that is not as dark in as whimsigoth (and fairygrunge I find it too limited in colors like green and brown). Like hippie style colors but 2020s version.
I think the love witch also matches this aesthetic, at lest her house since her outfits are more 60s. I really like it, but I give a little bit of a personal twist with the colors. It kinda makes me feels like a modern Morgana from the Arthurian legends
I LOVE that I found this video! You did amazing and I love that you did thorough research and including everybody instead of just white girls. As a black girl that practices hoodoo (an African American spirituality), I feel like I’ve always gravitated towards this aesthetic and it reconnects back to my roots! Also, I feel like somebody that embody fairy grunge from Twilight is Alice not so much Bella. 😊Thank you again!
this comment means so much to me!!! so much of whimsigoth comes from caribbean and african spirituality practices and it’s so cool you participate in that!!
I can't believe there was no mention of our queen Winona! 😲🥺 Also not all white people are the same, slavic people have sadly always been looked down on, our history and roots have been neglected/made fun of. It is changing now and I am gratefull for that, altho I am worried it will go into fetishizing slavic woman. Thank you for a great video, I subbed and am sure to binge all of your videos on my day off ❤️
so this is my aesthetic exactly. I am also a pagan, specifically studying celtic and norse witchcraft (where a lot of my ancestors are from) and you kind of said this already, but as witches/pagans we can learn from other cultures, but historically you should practice within your ancestry lines culture. i totally agree about supporting the right people. most of my clothing is bought through small women owned businesses, or ehtical brands/thrifted. part of the culture should be honoring the earth, and attempting to support the right brands and cultures. this is absolutely my style. the colors, fabrics, shapes and everything. lovvvve it.
i absolutely love watching all on you style analysis videos!! but i have to say my favorite part of your videos is listening to you gentle parent your pets 😂
I was born in 1976, so I grew up with all the whimsigoth series, films and fashion and I still love it, and I was 21 when The Craft came out n I watched in the theatre with my mates. I want those fairy ears an your top is gorgeous
You showed so many clothes from Cosmic Drifters brand that they definitely deserved a shout out! :) They are a small company, everything is made in UK (no unethical treatment of seamstresses overseas), clothes are of amazing quality, they get sewed to order (low environmental impact) and they are size inclusive!
@@vortexofself maybe you can find some of their pieces secondhand, e.g., on depop or thredup? Its very sad that they had to close. From what I understand one of the main reasons why they struggled were scammy, fast fashion brands stealing their designs. I guess the financial crisis also didn't help.
We just called it 'alternative fashion' in the nineties. Anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity or body size wore it. It was media in the nineties that only used skinny white women. This wasn't the case in real life.
"the place of enchantment" by A. Owen is a really good educational book on the roots of some magic and occult practices, especially that of the brittish that then spread to other English speaking counties etc. Very useful for getting your history straight and avoiding appropriation
2 of my favorite aesthetics 😻, speaking of grunge I'd love a video on the kinderwhore aesthetic even if it's not as popular as these 2, there's something about the babydoll doll dresses and Mary Janes
The fact is as well, sage - the plant grows everywhere, you can use that, it has the same properties. Burning regular sage that grows in your garden is just as cleansing, there are also tons of other herbs like rosemary, juniper etc that are related to cleansing. Furthermore, if you really want white sage - get incense sticks - they are scented and have the symbolism of white sage without actually using actual white sage ( most of the time)
@@sweetbabygirl13 i said it in the beginning it’s from a local boutique here called passage to india (or something i can’t remember) in RI, there’s no tag on it :/
Concerning the "north" indigenous practices: if we're talking Europe it would be the Sami ppl. And I'm honestly disappointed that Frozen didn't reference it. Klaus did an okay job tho.
there was a part of the vid where i was like “my nips just got hard thinking about the halloween decor at michael’s” but i thought that would’ve been pushing it too far 🤣
I'm an indigenous irish goth cis woman. I grow sage of all kinds and use them in my own practice but also I sell to other tribes, and wichins mostly. I don't get many other foke buying from me. I'm in FL. I do love this style too just is how I have always dressed Whimsy goth just didn't know their was this name
Currently eating some strawberry cake and let me tell you, I am so excited for your spooky, autumn content🤗 Edit: I watched Halloween town so many times as a kid, maybd it's time to rewatch it! Also, will probably watch some Tim Burton movies
@justlanch is a great channel! my big inspirations are Mina Le, Modern Girls, and Shanspeare but those are broader topics ! if you go to my old money analysis video i feature a lot of small youtubers like me that do analysis/aesthetic based fashion videos!
20:33 Wicca nope hi Norsemen here our culture is not like Wicca please don't clump us together. 19:01 some plants people use are for closed practices and are endangered too so many people outside of the culture also use it in properly which can cause very unwanted effects. Also a metaphysical shop can have all the informing cords of the cultural background of using sage also discussing the cultural backgrounds of using sage and still some outsiders blatantly ignore all the information and warnings.
You have great style. I wouldn't worry about appropriating culture. Honestly, if we can have a Danish story like the Little Mermaid suddenly become about a black character, and Anne Boleyn can be black, and we can have black druids, then we can have white Voudin if we so wish. Although I do agree the druidic paganism is probably better suited for white witches. Slavic witches like Baba Yaga are appropriate too.
I grew up on this aesthetic and always loved it and never knew what to call it till tiktok. Im 24 now and i am updating my closet and home to the style i ACTUALLY want, which is whimsigoth 🧹🌙☀️🐈⬛️🔮

we’re all born naked and the rest is drag!!
Yeah, I was abt to correct that astrology dates back to Mesopotamia but I'm glad someone else alr commented
I do appreciate that Bonnie part where you called yourself out. That’s how you do recognize it, call it what it is and move on.

yes! i think the 70s hippie revival that happened summer of 2020 will be that manifestation of the style!

HOW DID I FORGET THE LOVE WITCH?!?! ur so right!!!

ayeeee thank you so much ! most of the clothes/pictures/videos i got off of public tiktok and pinterest! thank you for saying this!!
I’m so sad I didn’t find this comment until they announced they’re closing down :(

Can you do baddie aesthetic

can the @ of the girls you showed in the tiktoks
Winona Ryder
What is the girls tiktok on the left at 7:47
20:33 Wicca nope hi Norsemen here our culture is not like Wicca please don't clump us together.
19:01 some plants people use are for closed practices and are endangered too so many people outside of the culture also use it in properly which can cause very unwanted effects.

Ok, I've watched like 4 of your videos about after friends comment I'm out of here😅
BABE WEAR IS YOUR TOP FROM????? PLEASSSSSEEEEE
nvmmmm you said oops!!
I used to just call it gypsy style and I freken love it. I'm Wiccan.
You have great style. I wouldn't worry about appropriating culture. Honestly, if we can have a Danish story like the Little Mermaid suddenly become about a black character, and Anne Boleyn can be black, and we can have black druids, then we can have white Voudin if we so wish. Although I do agree the druidic paganism is probably better suited for white witches. Slavic witches like Baba Yaga are appropriate too.
you are crazy
I grew up on this aesthetic and always loved it and never knew what to call it till tiktok. Im 24 now and i am updating my closet and home to the style i ACTUALLY want, which is whimsigoth 🧹🌙☀️🐈⬛️🔮
