Wheres-your-paddle - Creature Feature

i love being a student of the green squishy stuff

Sorry for the aggressive booping I'm just a Boy, girl, neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight

And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel

I want you to tell 'em that you love the way they so seamlessly, like a dreamfully

So beautifully, oh so dutifully

Jam that square peg in the round hole in their heart

I want you to tell 'em that you love the way

That they don't stick out like sore middle fingers

That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve

Stick their flag in the peak, and slide their way back down

I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive

Not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, but rather that you love them

Exactly the way that everybody else is

I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born

I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then

Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird

So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan

I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal

I suggest that we keep this informal

Cause a normal human being wouldn't need. No

To pretend to be normal to be normal

Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya

To be normal in a way I could never be

C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah

C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah

C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally

easter and april fools are over. its time for HALLOWEEN!!!!!

i think a lot of cryptidcore fashion certainly fits into that description, but a lot of the textposts/moodboards seem to mostly be "i want to run into the woods and become mothman" — and don't get me wrong, that's a great vibe. but since cryptid academia was based on old school ufo/cryptid journalists from the 50's (and some modern ghost hunters) it might be a better fit for what op is looking for!

Honestly I love the cryptidcore aesthetic but as someone who's always wanted to be a cryptozoologist, I wish the whole thing wasn't just people who wanted to BE cryptids. What if I wanted to be a paranoid researcher in a trench coat who swears they saw aliens?

Especially if you have cryptid friends.. cryptids you will always have a place on my red string corkboard......
