The trick to not being cringe is to deny its an actual thing. Cringe culture is basically about punching down, and if people use it against me so be it. They are bullies anyway and I dont have time for that. I just turned 39 and do you know what I bought myself for my birthday? Some fucking Pikachu crocs:

They also had some light up motion sensitive Pikachu croc charms that i have added to the backstrap so when I walk I complete the I'm 10 and love Pokemon look. I wear mostly t-shirts with ether Trains, Brony shit, Pikachu, or some other furry crap on it. I have super limited interests when it comes to my fashion and no motherfucker is gonna stand in my way.

And do you know what I get mostly from people when they see me confidently wearing my fit? They love it and complement me on it and even if they are doing it sarcastically its not like my autistic ass is gonna understand.

The trick is to be so vain that you couldn't even imagine caring what other people think because what would they even be able to say to you, a walking god of drip and fashion?

Also where did you get the crocs they are cool af?

That is another good way to put it hahaha

They were an official Crocs X Pokemon collab, and sadly they are all gone. They had a bunch of charms come out and also a bunch of different Croc types that are still up. I am sort of dialed into the news stream for Crocs because they are the only shoe that really works for me sensory wise. When I have extra bad days it helps conserve spoons when they are limited in number if you catch my drift. Every little bit helps in the name of beating back meltdowns.

Word. I totally understand. Every little bit of comfort and stability you can get is worth it.

Special interest fashion goes hard.

You called it, I usually have to tell people that no I do not wear the same shirt more than one day in a row. I just have five of the same Rainbow Dash shirt and for the next five days I need to feel 20% cooler.

Now you just need to get some croc-nuts and you'll be gucci

That's a fun idea, but I think if I was keeping with what I like it would probably be one of the Pikachu tail and ears I see on etsy.

But I am a clumsy person and they would probably get me hooked on something and lose em badeline-heh
