.... I hate to say it, but I don't think anyone knows how an e-girl or boy dresses.
including me,

I've only seen a few that even remotely fit the theme...I think most are just going for "goth gamers"

im too poor irl to be able to spend money on this game, so having two of the themes locked behind gcash really sucks :/

There's only one a day locked behind GCash. The other paid one only cost 25 Plat. sweatdrop

yeah but today's is virtually also locked behind a 200 G$ CI. meaning if you dont have the G$ to buy it you cant enter :/

I wish I'd seen this post earlier. Some of the recolours that were in this CI are very cheap on the MP. As in 5-10K or less even.

The items are all in this thread, the cheap recolours are at the bottom of the 2nd post

If it helps anyone in the future (and I hope these sorts of themes aren't discouraged), CIs don't have very many different items in them, and the recolours are common in the RIG so some of them get very inexpensive shortly after release.

ah damn, when i was looking earlier in the day even the recolors were suuper high priced in MP
i totally don't mind these themes in concept, i just kinda wish they were delegated to the G$ category yk

I've wanted to try entering Runways again for the first time in a while but none of the contests have been speaking.

Also, while this is more self-salt than anything, I just found that Torn Chill has an eighth pose. I just couldn't see it since it's white on white. sweatdrop

[Pianette]

As the person that sugged the ci theme i would like to clarify why I requested a gold run
(And also very ty chopri for running it there 💖)
1 have u seen the gc tier rn lmao no thank
2 YES this technically does up the entry fee over 25p, but all the items can be bought with plat-- the new new items are ofc very pricey still but the recolors were [at the time of the sugg and u know the day before] relatively cheap
2.5 this is similarly why it was not a good fit for free btw
2.7 the MP is always the bane of runway themes since the beginning of time 😭
3 CIs are exciting i love theme

Un but I runway is so Very Hard to enjoy atm
May this era pass soon......

not surprised the e-gaian theme is all over the place
i personally looked at the previous time the theme ran and google images to see what to do
and wikipedia says e-girl/boy fashion is inspired by all types of subcultures/fashion trends anyway so it makes sense people had trouble with it, including me lol

pre-salt that i have a feeling i'll bomb the melting theme tomorrow

[Akari Arima]

yeah I tried to make an e-girl based on what I saw on my google searches, but uh... yeah its kinda complicated. There wasn't anything I saw super consistently except all black. And occasionally fun hair colors/makeup. It was a bit difficult putting something together haaaa...

In other news, I don't think I'll be running tomorrow because nothing really seems doable to me. I don't have much in the way of melting items? And I don't even know where to begin as far as art nouveau clowns goes

I just did a gothic looking anime with like the pokemon let's battle thing, with the church from a ffxv inspired item and the Rem wig.

Idk what an egirl is supposed to be? Maybe like Dezzy or whatever her name is from tiktok but...I tried.

I wish people would stop being openly phobic in the Runway forum.

yeah sweatdrop

I understand what it is in concept, but when googling it I'm like ".... this is just goth/scene/emo but modern fashion???"
I might be showing my millennial-ness rofl

Same. Along with overall ignorance and claiming that reputable organizations are "propaganda" makes me ill.

tbh yeah that was my exact thoughts when the term was first going around
from what I've seen it seems like a lot of outfit layering, often graphic tees on outer most layer, and a lot of jewelry, I believe a big thing is using thrifted/repurposing old clothes
its basically just another branch of alt fashion like goth/scene/emo/grunge/etc

I regret changing the background of my submission last minute now oof

yeah thats where I got to as well! I'm glad there's a lot of thrifting included.

I kept trying to make mine more scene and I think I ended up making it less scene lmaooo

I dig the outfits but man, I do not understand how to make them lol

the fact they feel sooooo comfortable just spouting the absolute most insensitive crap too.

like please, have some amount of shame for your outlandishly shitty comments lol. stare

e-girl/boy is like emo but gen-z so there's lot's of black and white stripes, usually little painted shapes on the face, a band/anime/k-pop shirt, colorful bangs on black hair, skinny jeans and over-sized shirts. it's cute! idk I worked with teens for a long long time so I know the trends but this trend was a few years ago.

[tinkaton]

i had used pinterest for my inspo but despite everything i still feel like i flubbed it...i tried....at the very least...and as for others its easy to tell the difference between people who at least attempted and those who just are wearing whatever

i just kinda brain fart...like when i tried to do an egirl look for a user contest a couple years ago sweatdrop
