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

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 26 points 11 months ago

That's pretty much the crust punk aesthetic

[-] gabbagabbahey@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Where is the crust on a crust punk?

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 2 points 11 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?

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 35 points 11 months ago

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 17 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 11 months ago

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

Blahaj is truly the best partner in gender terrorism

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

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 12 points 11 months ago

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

Love the hat.

port-a-haj?

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 11 points 11 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 11 months ago

I love this outfit and aesthetic so much, holy shit

[-] ThatFembyWho 8 points 11 months ago

Ah so much gender in one photo.

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

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

[-] vantablack 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Franzia 5 points 11 months ago
[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Add zip, make bag?

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

[-] TGhost@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

So beautifull 😍😍

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

Livin' the dream!

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 11 months ago
