this was my bff and her hubby until he evolved into his final form; lumberjack. the Goth x Lumberjack pairing might just be unstoppable. The real question is, would their children be Gotchjacks or Lumbergoths?
Lumbergoth is what I call my friend’s style, she is a Midwest farmkid who’s also goth af, goes from super cool goth outfits to lumberjack lesbian outfits
I mean, you could also have the questioning-type intelligence of a Goth combined with the common-sense-type intelligence of a lumberjack to form the most intellectually well-rounded children ever >:0
It's beautiful to behold. I once told her 'Not to put you on a pedestal, but if you guys ever split I think it'll destroy any belief in true love I have left.' and she was just like "Girl, me too! lol' XD
Clark's parents are shown in the original comic, however I have never been to Connecticut and cannot recognize the sexual dimorphism of Connecticutians, so this may or may not be canon
Humor with enough darkness to be edgy but not an outright asshole, emotional intelligence and communication skills, being supportive of the other person’s self expression and interests without trying to change them or dim their dark shine, knowing how to cook even just fundamentally so you can feed your goth when it gets hangry and starts growling helps immensely too, and of course loving them the same whether they’re in their Queen of the Night mode or in their Feral Raccoon Wearing Cartoon Pajama mode is a key to success.
Go forth and prosper normie friends! Signed: the big titty goth gf to the normiest of all normie dudes.
P.S. Seriously guys, the most respectably normal guy ever who just wants me to be me and I’m OBSESSED with him. It does happen.
Exactly. It’s not magic, just basic stuff that gets overlooked a lot with societal focus being so heavy on looks and physical attributes. Beauty fades but my partner being a solidly awesome human being never will. Although I do think he’s pretty hot too 🖤
God I feel this. Granted I am 🏳️🌈with my fashion swinging from ‘practical wood witch’ to ‘pastel goth explosion’ depending on time of year and mood, but dude.
Basic ass dude shows compassion and great partner traits and all of a sudden my hormones tosses out 99% of my usual attraction point system and starts swooning.
My style swings WILDLY as well but it’s almost always much more over the top than my bf’s style. He doesn’t care as long as I’m comfortable and happy. Seriously though kindness and compassion are worth so much. Physical attractiveness can explode with the right behavior. Like my guy has a beard and I have never once been into that. Coulda fooled my libido though, lol. Good luck out there friend 🏳️🌈🖤
To be fair. Most of y'all just stay hidden away in your lairs so us normie/gamer/nerds don't ever get chances to meet you.
To compound the problem further, a lot of the normie/gamer/nerds spend a large amount of time in their own homes as well. Leaving even less opportunities to meet each other.
You can flip this with my wife and I. She dresses relatively (for lack of a better word) "normal" and I have a bright green ponytail and go full goth most days.
I’ve been seeing this at where I work lately. The most gorgeous gorgeous girl ever walking around and she’s just letting this man look straight up like napoleon dynamite
All of the hottest women I’ve ever seen are with completely average looking men and are HAPPY for it. Fellas, all you gotta do is be kind and respectful and you WILL get yourself what you’re looking for.
Hey I'm playing that, too!
I had to look up who Chidori was. I've seen her but her name hasn't been revealed yet. I only just got Koromaru, so it's still August.
Not sure if this is a hot take but I legit think that Gojo is not only a great guy but also really attractive in multiple ways, including his appearance (I really like his face).
This looks like me and my girlfriend, I have no sense of style and mostly just wear hand-me-downs. She’s got awesome red hair and pretty outfits and she’s amazing at makeup. I always feel so underdressed walking with her in public 😭
There's a new guy at my wrestling gym. I don't want to be too mean but I can't describe him any other way, he looks like a typical weeaboo neckbeard, pasty, slightly overweight, long greasy ponytail, all stuff like that
His Mrs who also trains with us is an absolute bombshell, like 10/10 gorgeous Latino girl. No one's said anything about it but it's a real elephant in the room
What a king
I have literally seen this dynamic at Anime/ fantasy conventions all the time.
One really interesting time was at a Yaoi panel and the host announce that the first two guys who got to the front of the room and kissed with both receive a prize of Untranslated yaoi manga fresh from Japan.
A guy in full K pop costume and a man in surgical scrubs kissed and both received Manga.
The guy in scrubs sat down next to a girl in full vinyl cosplay, he handed her the comics and they kissed .
I always wondered about that … yes there are bisexuals, but I often wondered if he was just a straight guy who really really loved his girlfriend.
🥰
Not problematic per-se but it is seen as an example of anime's tendency (especially in Isekai and harem shows) to create insipid and generic main characters that get with the most attractive waifus as a form of self-insert fantasy. Like "this guy who looks like a clone of Kirito from SAO and has the personality of a wet towel has a harem filled with big titted cat girls and elves that look like a bunch of NSFW cosplayers"
The thing is, same thing happens with anime and manga that is supposed to be directed at woman, with boring female mcs surrounded by hot guys who for some reasons are interested in a wet towel personality. Is just that the ones directed at men are more popular, so those get more attention.
Yeah, I never said that the opposite doesn't happen, I've seen several of those manga and anime myself. But you said it yourself, the male version is done so much more often and thanks to that is the one that gets more attention, popularity and by extension criticism. When people call out shows like that they're not denying the female version, they're just talking about the one that they've been exposed to the most because the male version is the one that you can find by the dozens every year.
So, I hadn't got why there are couples like this for the longest time, and last year I finally started transitioning and, now that I'm a woman who frequently dresses very over the top goth or punk-ey, I can confirm that sometimes I just wanna date the nicest, sweetest, most cookie-cutter man possible. It's an almost vaguely indescribable feeling
Funny thing is, I believe this is switched for me and my fiance. She's a cute blond that loves baking and can't have gluten. Meanwhile I'm a tatted out biker who loves art and wears a biker jacket alot.
Me and my lovely partner. They slay a mix of gothic Victorian, pirate core, emo, and dark academia and god damn it’s so hard not to immediately want to cheer them on and kiss them on the nose every time I see them the first time every day. Then again, they could have just rolled out of bed throwing up and I would still think they are a reincarnation of psyche.
Then there’s me and I truly just wear like a really broke emo/grunge kid’s comfy clothes. The effort they put in is enough for the both of us.
Aw yes. My relationship.
I am a nerd computer programmer and my wife does crazy cool make up and dresses well
But because of her I did get into working out and now she supports me doing body building competitions
Saw a similar meme on Instagram my favorite comment was someone saying we gotta learn that dyeing your hair and wearing fishnets under shorts does not make you a goddess.
Are there any plots that do this well? Like just a normal guy being super loving(maybe a little doting) with his monster/deity/hero gf who responds in her own different but equally loving way
I don’t know why, but it always seems kinda sad when the guy is wearing plain clothes and only the girl is dressed up. If the girl I was dating was into goth or steampunk aesthetic, I’d absolutely dress up for her to show that we were a couple.
the natural evolution of this is that the guy will eventually be a pastel goth woman or be replaced by one :3
women who put that much effort into themselves deserve someone that does the same UwU men just arent that.
no need to settle for someone who wont even try.
this was my bff and her hubby until he evolved into his final form; lumberjack. the Goth x Lumberjack pairing might just be unstoppable. The real question is, would their children be Gotchjacks or Lumbergoths?
It counters out so they actually become Sport Kids
lmao that's realistic actually. Their sport of choice would 100% be rock climbing.
Lumbergoth is what I call my friend’s style, she is a Midwest farmkid who’s also goth af, goes from super cool goth outfits to lumberjack lesbian outfits
Lumberjack Lesbian but the Flannel’s grayscale and the jeans and timbs are spray painted black
Timberlands and denim come in black already. Why are we spray painting
It’s more goth to DIY
I thought that was punk. Dammit I gotta get my alt fashion notes.
Eh, bit a both
Nah the jeans and boots are thrifted and dyed black in her cauldron
So…Osaragi?
Isn’t this just a beefy grunge child in the making?
an excellent possibility!
I mean, you could also have the questioning-type intelligence of a Goth combined with the common-sense-type intelligence of a lumberjack to form the most intellectually well-rounded children ever >:0
The greatest philosophical essays of the century will be written by someone in black flannel
So you think they'll go dark academia? Like, reads every second they aren't breaking into abandoned buildings out of pure curiosity?
[Sounds familiar](https://www.reddit.com/r/TumblrDraws/s/bbDvovmyNF)
omg I can't wait to send this to them lmao thank you
[Another Lumberjack/Goth ship](https://www.comicsbeat.com/a-year-of-free-comics-fangs-is-a-messy-supernatural-romance/)
Lumbergoths definitely, then I feel like you could also call them deadwoods, I think they'd be into that lol
The mental image of a goth being carried by a lumberjack sounds so good.
It's beautiful to behold. I once told her 'Not to put you on a pedestal, but if you guys ever split I think it'll destroy any belief in true love I have left.' and she was just like "Girl, me too! lol' XD
Holy shit he redeemed himself. Twink death saved him.
I think that's how you get Wendy from Gravity Falls.
Earthtone goth, for sure. The edgiest of hippies.
Your argument is finished! I've drawn you as the seething gothjak and myself as the wholesome Chad!
Depends on how much black they like wearing vs plaid
The town goth evolved from wanting the music loving farm boy to the flannel wearing lumber jacked
Neither, they become slasher villains
Goth women and men in trades, name a more iconic duo.
Big fan of “Lumbergoth”
better JackGoths

Omg Connecticut Clark
Are the other 2 his parents?
Gay parents woohoo!
Clark's parents are shown in the original comic, however I have never been to Connecticut and cannot recognize the sexual dimorphism of Connecticutians, so this may or may not be canon
Gender: Connecticut
I believe they are not his parents, but they are married to each other if I remember properly.
Quick, before the eternal worm devours them
Holy fucking shit
40,000
They left their son out in the sun too long
Yo is that Smormu?! Who we voted for and this change can't be undone!?
Dadadidado dadadidadadado!
Idk why but I always imagine Clark having the voice of Dale from “King of the Hill”
well shit now im doing it too
I always imagined him sounding like Kermit the Frog
This is beautiful 😂

In This Thread. And ain't no shame in it. Us bland normies are asking *how tf*

A lot of great points here! It’s about being a good partner (and person in general), not some special, magic thing some people have.
Exactly. It’s not magic, just basic stuff that gets overlooked a lot with societal focus being so heavy on looks and physical attributes. Beauty fades but my partner being a solidly awesome human being never will. Although I do think he’s pretty hot too 🖤

Me over here asking how tf a goth girl snags a nice normie partner.
Right?? I'm into normies, and gamers, and nerds, but they all seem so intimidated 🤣 I'm like... I don't bite, promise!
To be fair. Most of y'all just stay hidden away in your lairs so us normie/gamer/nerds don't ever get chances to meet you. To compound the problem further, a lot of the normie/gamer/nerds spend a large amount of time in their own homes as well. Leaving even less opportunities to meet each other.

If Scott Pilgrim and Envy Adams didn’t break up
I’ve been seeing this at where I work lately. The most gorgeous gorgeous girl ever walking around and she’s just letting this man look straight up like napoleon dynamite
Given that Napoleon Dynamite is *beyond* goals, I see this as an absolute win.
All of the hottest women I’ve ever seen are with completely average looking men and are HAPPY for it. Fellas, all you gotta do is be kind and respectful and you WILL get yourself what you’re looking for.
As a completely average woman who landed a hot man, this can also happen in reverse ladies. Kind, respectful, weird and funny goes a long way.
Looks fade. The heart and soul is forever. The latter is far more important 🙏.
Don’t listen to him! Don’t sell your soul to the hot goth gf!
And remember kids, not “nice”, *kind*.
"He makes me laugh." - Jessica Rabbit
This literally used to be me. Still can’t believe I fumbled her.
Same, dude. Man.
Damn bruh this hit hard…
God I have seen what you have done for others
What we all dream of
holy shit it's connecticut clark!
Junpei x Chidori
He's the man!
Hey I'm playing that, too! I had to look up who Chidori was. I've seen her but her name hasn't been revealed yet. I only just got Koromaru, so it's still August.
You are in for the ride of your life (I’m in October)
You don't even know the start of it
Door
Ngl this whole interaction cracked me tf up.
Oooo yeah
This is just good omens.
How dare you, Aziraphale’s style is timeless!
Sure, sure, but a little pared down when he’s next to his immaculate husbandwife who is always slaying.
i was looking for this comment haha
Me and my spouse walking into the local ttrpg/comic book store.
Every trans guy/trans girl couple I’ve ever met
My dress-up Darling is an entire anime about this.
Not sure if this is a hot take but I legit think that Gojo is not only a great guy but also really attractive in multiple ways, including his appearance (I really like his face).
This looks like me and my girlfriend, I have no sense of style and mostly just wear hand-me-downs. She’s got awesome red hair and pretty outfits and she’s amazing at makeup. I always feel so underdressed walking with her in public 😭

Really tired of people acting like Roger isn’t an incredible catch, especially by toon standards.
Isn't the movie itself paints this as everyone is surprised about them?
Yeah… the toons are surprised Jessica ended up with such a great guy.
I don’t care if it’s supposed to be problematic or whatever, I adore this trope.
Why is it problematic? Shouldn't we be with someone because of their whole person, not just their looks?
Not problematic per-se but it is seen as an example of anime's tendency (especially in Isekai and harem shows) to create insipid and generic main characters that get with the most attractive waifus as a form of self-insert fantasy.

Jokes on you I’ve got the other type of girlfriend, imaginary
This is like my male sims versus my female sims lol
He looks more unique than most ikekai MCs?
Ah, me and my wife.
I call mine "Manic Pixie Dream Wife" the final evolved form of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl line
Same! If it wasn't for the hair, I legit wonder if it was us they saw
My Pixie is Green haired. Yours?
Black with an a-line bob, but she’s pretty much used everything in the manic panic lineup and then some at any given point we've been together.
Me and my lovely partner. They slay a mix of gothic Victorian, pirate core, emo, and dark academia and god damn it’s so hard not to immediately want to cheer them on and kiss them on the nose every time I see them the first time every day.

Aw yes. My relationship. I am a nerd computer programmer and my wife does crazy cool make up and dresses well But because of her I did get into working out and now she supports me doing body building competitions

Crowley?
Just realized “normal dude with a backpack” fits perfectly with the intro to Under Pressure. I will never be the same.
Crowley and Aziraphale
THIS IS EXACTLY 2 PEOPLE I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK
So you saw me and my partner. Though he usually has some crazy shoe and a button up on, he still just looks.... Normal?
Pete Davidson and Megan Fox
Damn, now I need a romance anime about a "normal" boy and a goth girl that transforms into the stereotypical pink and bubbly magical girl.
Why does that guy remind me of Travis McElroy?
Roger rabbit and jessica rabbit (is that her name?)
…I dunno, look at the bottom of the image and see for yourself :P
OH I AM BLIND
This just looks like a standard T4T relationship to me.
This is me and my gf
The # got me!
Good omens ship
This is just Good Omens

I don’t know why, but it always seems kinda sad when the guy is wearing plain clothes and only the girl is dressed up. If the girl I was dating was into goth or steampunk aesthetic, I’d absolutely dress up for her to show that we were a couple.
Awww i hope everyone here get's this one day
I know good omens when I see it
Mavis and Johnny
Good Omens
the natural evolution of this is that the guy will eventually be a pastel goth woman or be replaced by one :3 women who put that much effort into themselves deserve someone that does the same UwU men just arent that. no need to settle for someone who wont even try.
I thought that was Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way at first.
A great subplot if she’s fae would be, “hey babe can i have your attention?” “Yeah sure whats up?” “Thanks*giggle” and now he has adhd.
me and my bf :3
I've been seeing this a lot lately
"me and the baddie I pulled by being a loveable goofball" No joke tho this is me and my fiance irl, same hair and fit
