I don't mean this as an insult, My first thought when I saw this was redneck goth.

That's pretty much the crust punk aesthetic

[–] gabbagabbahey@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where is the crust on a crust punk?

[–] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

The collar I think

Can someone explain to a cishet old fart what the deal is with the soft toy? Don’t get me wrong they look sweet but what’s the meme I’m out of the loop on?

[–] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

blahaj is trans icon

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guessed that given the context. What’s the origin story of the wee fluffy shark becoming an icon?

I’ve seen it on unixsocks before too.

[–] cowboycrustation@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Basically people noticed the colors of Blahaj were similar to that of the trans flag. They'd take funny pictures of Blahaj in weird places. After the meme took off, IKEA made a couple of references and leaned into it, which made it even more of an icon.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah cool thanks. :) So Blahaj has been adopted and embraced. Is the name a classic IKEA thing?

[–] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 8 months ago

Yes, just like basically everything else IKEA sells, BlΓ₯haj it's Swedish. Means "blue shark".

Blahaj is truly the best partner in gender terrorism

[–] whodatdair@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I like your dress :)

[–] vantablack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

thanks! :D

[–] H3wastooshort@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 8 months ago

Cool look, you could certainly frighten a small conservative town with that

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 8 months ago

The angle and the stripes make it look like your legs are 18" long tops. Lol.

Love the hat.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Portable blahaj

[–] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 months ago

port-a-haj?

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

At first I thought this was kinda silly, but then I realized that the silliness only multiplies its awesomeness

[–] InquisitiveApathy@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

I love this outfit and aesthetic so much, holy shit

[–] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 months ago

Ah so much gender in one photo.

I want that hat. And the jacket. And the blahaj.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Nice hat

[–] alyth@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

ohai thought I'd recognized you from the linux phone review

[–] cirdanlunae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is Blahaj name?

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Cuuuuuuute

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

Add zip, make bag?

(doesn't even have to be inside, could add one on the harness/outside)

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This sounds like a good idea. What kind of harness did you use? Was it intended for a specific pet, or...?

[–] vantablack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

juuuust a tiny dog harness i got at a thrift store :3

[–] TGhost@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Gosh, every time I scroll past this photo, it makes me smile! You're the fucking coolest and cutest and punk as fuck. You can terrorize me any time!

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
