looking for international bands

I'm on a mission to find at least one goth song I like from as many countries/ languages as possible.
I'm polish so I can submit Closterkeller, and I've been into Turkish rock recently. These two auto playing after one another gave me the idea.

I'm not yet well versed in the different types of goth so i'm not picky. Also I am especially interested in more "nieche" languages you don't immediately think about. Like idk is there Laotian stuff out there? Swiss-german? Farsi? I totally could google but I'd prefer to make this more of a community thing.

I might even make an open-access google document for this.

Tatsuki

I hate her so much (probably because I gave them an ungodly steep character arc)

I love being employed

"Oh school is so much easier than work, oh how will you incompetent fucks handle real work" WRONG!!!

Teachers lied to me and they probably lied to you too. I work at a pharmacy. It's so goooood.

There's so many different tasks which all require different levels of attention and are stimulating in different ways. At some you walk, at some you stand, at some you sit, you can go to the front office and talk to people or stay in the back office and scan in all the meds so the system knows we have them, you can go to the lab to make shit- it's all different crap and none of it is particularly difficult to do but neither is it boring.

To put this in perspective,
I sit on my ass in school for 6-7h and come home around 4-5 pm because commute. I am DEAD. I come home, stress out over homework or studying for upcoming tests (which I don't end up doing cause I'm too tired), and can't stay awake past 9pm.
I wake up at 05:55 absolutely hating everything.

At the pharmacy I wake up at the same 05:55 and I feel alive bc I have something to look forward to 😭
Shifts CAN go 10h easily and there's only one big break and it works?? I stay awake and engaged and within the realm of the living throughout the entire time and I come home usually around 6-7 pm and I feel like I could still do stuff. I come home n think "yay I'm tired but I actually deserved this kind of tired by doing stuff. Let's vaccuum and mop because I feel like I can."
I eat ar around 9pm and fall asleep around 11. Sleep quality after a workday is SO much better than the sleep quality after a school day.

If you hate school and worry about how you'll handle work later, remember this and consider that maybe you're like me and simply built for something else.

For once I actually posted fanart on not-reddit. Link in comments because it won't let me add here. If it doesn't work,

It turned out so unimaginably fugly I'm crying.

No notes. I hate it. But in a weird way, I'm impressed by how shit I let myself draw. It deserves to be shared with the world for that alone.

(I do not post my fanart anywhere but Reddit so I can't provide a link to an original. This IS the original.)

I need to rename him.

He came out the winter I thought I lost my bf. He resembles him thematically very well so I gave him his name.

He came back but June 7th 2026 will be the 3rd anniversary of me *actually* losing him.

It used to be a symbol of spiritual immorality of the one I loved, but now I genuinely can't play him or interact with him in any way.

I think its time to let go this last gateway and move on.

Any suggestions?

I'm sad my favorite theory can't be true

Remember when we thought she was Diluc's mom? I really liked that. I mean he has her tea set in his home and it's called the ANGEL'S share...

But yeah Nicole can't be in love/ relationships with humans so even if she knew Crepus she could probably not have a Diluc with him. Unless it's some magic homunculus type shit.

But yeah that's basically it. I grieve the theory.

I hate the concept of "Christian" bigots

It is called CHRISTianity. You're supposed to follow the word of CHRIST. You know what testament he's in? THE NEW testament!!! The new testament is supposed to DIFFERENTIATE Christianity from Judaism!!! You're supposed to listen to the NEW one which occasionally goes DIRECTLY AGAINST the old one because it's kind of supposed to?!

Christianity is supposed to be incompatible with bigotry and yet there's sooo many "Christian" bigots and they all use quotes from the OLD GODDAMN TESTAMENT to justify it.

Ok but did you READ the Bible? Do you understand the point of your own religion???

GoddddddddAmmit

(Edit: Btw I'm not talking exclusively about queerness lol I said "bigotry" not homophobia for a reason. Following Christ and being racist or anti migration is also a big part of why I made this post.)

I loathe the concept of Promeia

I don't even PLAY zzz, but a content creator that I like does and I watched his video about her. He also explained her "lore" which is just a fucking porn plot.

Oh she is an assassin but instead of changing her damn job she feels sooo bAd about killing "innocent people" that she'd in sexy arms behind her back bondage all the time and zaps herself because she thinks she deserves painnn unu you could kick her in the face and she would just tAke it caused she desErves it uaaa such a tragic character and not at all just a 24/7 BDSM masochist doormat sub fantasy of the creators blatantly showcased and spotlighted fetish.

She's dumb. Her concept is dumb. Her design is dumb. The game is dumb. I guess I like her cloak but every other atom of her sad pathetic existence I despise.

Intersectionality

I saw a post on Instagram that talked about ani-Black racism within the AroAce spec community and how this Person's race interacts with their Sexuality, so I'd love to read about yall's experiences with AroAce intersectionality.

I'll start! I'm a demirose Trans-man and mentally ill/ disabled (depending on if you see my diagnoses as disabling)

I have BPD, ADHD, reoccurrant depressive disorder and currently evaluating (moral) OCD.

**Self perception**

I often wish I was the repulsed type of AroAce instead of demirose, because the idea of me existing in a relationship and having sex feels "wrong". I feel like an inherently wrong or flawed person that's a hazard to anyone wanting to enter an emotionally and logistically close bond with me. Good phases do make me wish I had someone, while bad phases lay bare the fact I cannot logistically handle that stuff. I need absolute silence, I need days of not talking to people and days of not going outside beyond what is necessary.
The funky atypical depression symptom of HEIGHTENED rather than lowered drive make it feel like it would be a form of self harm to engage in sexual activities with another person. I need it "too much" to feel like I'm allowed to have it. Like a nicotine addict refusing to light a cigarette because he knows he'll feel worse afterwards.
My identity is unstable to the point I feel/ come off as different people on different days. I cannot sustain a bond to the same person between these personality switches because they all want something else, and I doubt anyone could sustain attraction to me over an elongated period of time.

I often feel like the way I am makes me "fundamentally undatable/ unfuckable" and I'm grateful for being demi since that makes these thoughts feel less like a "tragedy" but more like a neutral fact.

**other's perception**

I have often been described as too childish or too unstable, so no one can picture me in a relationship. A majority of my dating app matches (back when I still tried) have told me they cannot picture me as more than a friend or cool person to interact with once per sometimes.

I also have a history of attracting equally unstable people who ditch me after the first night because shit starts feeling too real, and no one has ever perceived me as fit for something real. They see me as someone good for a short fun time or as a phase in their lives. Always a variable, never a constant.

I am okay with that, because I have arrived to the same conclusion when using logic and realism.

Sweden.

Carl Linnaeus is the guy who came up with the super handy categorization system for animals and plants. I am writing this straight from a Botany lesson.

I pitch we call it "demirose" because "demi-aroace" sounds awkward.

"Demirose" is an amalgamation of "demiro" coming from demiromantic, and "demiace" which would be short for demisexual which no one uses because it's a phonetic mess.

"Demiaro-ace" would also sound awkward so I put the sylables "ro" and "ace" together, then took the photonically closest actual word- ROSE.

This is ALSO for symbolism sake. Not just phonetic convenience.

"Aro" sounds like "arrow" and as far as I know, arrows ARE a symbol for it.

"Ace" is a card. Specifically the ace of spades is being widely used as an asexual symbol.

"Demirose" would be represented by an Orange rose.

RED roses are frequently used to represent conventional love and sex. People give red roses to their partners on valentines, scatter red rose petals on beds to make ambiance.

ORANGE roses do not see that use. The image of a rose does call back to the red rose's meaning, but the color symbolizes that it's not the same as a red one.

There is still space for love and sex in demirose identity and relationships, but it's not "obvious". And definitely not a "requirement". The orange rose would represent that nicely.

What do you think of this?
