I’m gonna be real honest with y’all, but like no intelligence is as important as emotional and interpersonal intelligence like I don’t care if you don’t know the difference between a softball and a volleyball but if you know how to treat people like basic human beings and understand others have complex feelings and how to approach that with kindness and genuine empathy then I fucking love you with my whole fucking heart the end

here is a list of fun things I’ve done (& I recommend doing) that are more or less self care!

• download a windows XP theme for your computer! it takes a bit of time but it’s super fun, there are tutorials all over YouTube with all the links that you’ll need!
• use the wayback machine! it can basically take you back to the old internet, and it’s a way to silently browse Myspace or any site you’d like on pretty much whatever date you like. I’m a personal fan of October 2007 but the great thing is, it’s completely up to you!
• specifically for emocore folks such as myself, keep a journal of all your deep thoughts!
• draw/write all over your vans/converse!
• need to stay up to write a paper? super tired in the morning? got a concert that isn’t starting until late? drink monster energy. believe me, it works like a charm and it’s sooooo good. but it’s super sugary, so remember to brush your teeth!
•  take pictures with the flash on! this is such a weird and small thing but I find that it really helps!
• make a blingee! it’s fun, easy, and free, and you can do absolutely whatever you want. (warning: it does involve a lot of flashing images and eye strains, so please be careful!)

Feel free to reblog and add on!

• draw your favorite album art, shirt designs, cartoon character, or emo/scene graphic on paper with markers and stick a bunch of them up on your wall! it’s great for if you don’t have/can’t afford to buy posters, plus they’re super unique and personal!
  
• make a collage of a bunch of emo/scene images and graphics, print them out, and put them up too! I used to have a whole bunch of them around my computer!
• doodle on the covers of all of your notebooks (like the one in Knives And Pens!), especially if it’s your journal!
• use some cool looking duck tape (or some stickers) to make a neato laptop cover!
• as an alternative/supplement to a physical journal, you can also check out LiveJournal! LiveJournal was very popular among emo and scene kids back in the 2000s
• make your own wallpapers and backgrounds in Photoshop (and maybe Gimp which is free) with some brushes like these! you can find a bunch more of these on DeviantArt and the authors of some of the featured brushes have a whole bunch more on their profiles
• use christmas lights to decorate your your room! I have mine running around the perimeter of my room and they’re available in almost all colors
  
• buy Halloween decorations from Dollar Tree/99 Cent Store/Five Below and use them for your room! you’ll have to get a little crafty and inventive but the results are awesome! These can also be good places to find sort of emo/scene looking clothes, but also try thrift stores for those
• look up Glitter Graphics and browse through a bunch of them! You can add these to most of your internet profiles and make them look awesome! also check out JellyMuffin and Zwani!
• watch cartoons and anime fore free on KissCartoon and KissAnime! You can also read manga on KissManga!
• download Windows Movie Maker and make an AMV! there’s instructions on how to download and install it on YouTube like this one and links to the setup application here.
• make a Nightcore remix of your favorite songs! you can do this with a free audio editing program called Audacity.
• upload your AMVs and Nightcore remixes onto YouTube OR try out VidLii! VidLii is a recreation of old YouTube, complete with completely customizable channel profiles!
• sign up for FriendProject! FriendProject is a clone of MySpace 1.0, fully functioning, and with a decently sized and friendly community on there. best part is that all of the theme websites like Glitter Graphics, Pimp My Profile, and Free Code Source still work! You can even make your own theme/edit an existing one on Pimp My Profile!
• change your Tumblr’s theme/layout to match old MySpace or Xanga! You can even use Glitter Graphics to decorate them!
• create your very own webpage on either GEOCITIES (how to do it here) or Angelfire! Definitely use those Glitter Graphics for that!!
• make a drawing in Paint! most Windows computers should come with Paint on them and you can also try out Gimp! if you want, you can upload what you make to DeviantArt!
• there’s a bunch of other really cool games/sites to check out as well! I recommend taking a look at Gaia Online, MapleStory, Wizard 101, IMVU, Mabinogi, Webkinz, Runescape, 4Story (Gates To Andaron), Minecraft, and Neopets!

Okay, that’s my go at it. What else do you think we should add?

I just thought of one more thing I’ve done!

• Make a playlist on YouTube called “(Your Name Here)’s MTV”! Include a whole bunch of your favorite music videos, live performances, and interviews!
  

i just remembered i have a google doc with some stuff that i could share on this post!!

• for some more graphics, theres phunkyphresh! it’s targeted towards a more scene/emo audience, so theres alotta stuff you might like!!! and if i recall, there might also be some myspace themes that could work on friendproject !!!
  
• if you want to make a website like the ones geocities and angelfire, theres also neocities! 

I just looked at phunkypresh. That website is aesthetic as fucc

I’m bored and sleepy so I’m gonna do a couple more of these.

• get’cha some fingerless gloves, long striped socks, and arm warmers!
• come up with your SCENE NAME! Typically, a good scene name is an allusion to a celebrity, a cool word as a last name, or simply an alliteration. The Nu Scene Tumblr Blog has a whole list of great scene names!
• look up “how to draw anime” and create a drawing of yourself in an anime style
• create some OCs, ponysonas, gemsonas, fursonas, trollsonas, any kind of persona that you want
• print out a couple of photos of your favorite bands, singers, guitarists, words of encouragement, or graphics of lyrics you like and slip them into your mirror’s frame (or tape them)
• get snakebites! if you can’t get them, find some faux lip rings!
• wear some fake vampire fangs for selfies or when hanging out with friends
• buy blank shirts or hoodies and customize them with your own designs, such as stars, angel wings, bats, hearts, cats, skeletal bones or whatever strikes your fancy!
• make holes in hoodies or long sleeve shirts and decorate them with safety pins! be careful not to poke yourself with them!
• wear two belts! one that you wear sideways and another that you let hang just like like this
• get a bedazzler and bedazzle… whatever you want! your laptop, phone, jeans, hairbrush, frames of glasses, belts, even your converse if you so choose~ bedazzle some patterns or designs onto stuff
  
• find a messenger bag or purse and cover it with pins, buttons, patches, and accessories! you can carry all kinds of things in there whether it be your journal, makeup, phone, or laptop if it can fit!
  
• get an emo/scene hair cut, either at a hair salon or cut it yourself! only use hair cutting scissors or a hair cutting razor, or a razor comb. only cut your own hair if you’re sure that you know what you’re doing, consider using two mirrors to cut the front and back of your hair. cut diagonally to layer the hair (find videos online for a better explanation). if you have super thick hair, find some thinning shears and look up how to use them as well!
• spike the back of your hair! using a comb, you can tease up some of your hair, but with a little but of hair gel you can spike up your hair! and also consider instead of gel, using hair wax, pomade, or even hair glue depending on what works best for you
• straighten your hair! use some clips to pull up your hair and flat iron your hair one section at a time while using heat protectant spray. if this isn’t give you the results you want, consider and research Japanese Straightening, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, or Brazilian Blowout!
• if you have emo/scene hair but don’t want it to get messed up while you sleep, sleep with a beanie on! this is also good for if you just got done straightening it and your hair is still just a little too poofy!
  
• if you’re still having trouble with getting your hair to lay down, rub in just a little bit of either coconut oil or hair food, and be careful not to use too much!
• if you can’t dye your hair but still want some cool hair colors, try out temporary hair color spray, hair chalk, or colored hair wax!
  
• get some striped extensions!
• making your own kandi bracelets are a right of passage! go to a local craft store and look for some different assortments of beads. Shapes, letter blocks, and pony beads. Also get some elastic cord. these can be great friendship bracelets, spell out some words like “RAWR XD,” “TACOS” or “SCENECORE,” and make some in homage to your favorite bands!
  
• you can also find other things in craft stores to make your own jewelry and accessories. the same beads you used for the kandi braclets and some other things you’ll find can also be used to make necklaces!
• basic emo/scene eyeliner and eyeshadow can be found cheap at Dollar Tree or Walmart. when doing your eyeliner, you can smudge it to give it a more emo and edgy look. also try out different colors of eyeshadow such as red (Gerard Way), black (Pete Wentz), or even pink (Wil Francis).
  
• google instrumentals/karaoke versions for songs you like and sing covers of them, recording them on your phone or laptop’s camera. if you want, upload them to YouTube or VidLii!
• if you can play an instrument, consider writing and recording your own song on your phone or laptop and upload that as well!
• have a copy of Everybody Hurts available at all times and treat that thing like a sarcastic, satirical bible
• reread some books from your childhood that you haven’t touched for a long time. some recommendations include Warriors, Artemis Fowl, Deltora Quest, Twilight, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Fablehaven, Ghostgirl, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and House of Night!
• read Homestuck! it’s hella!
• listen to Welcome To Night Vale! it’s also hella!
• read creepypastas on the Creepypasta Wiki! extremely hella! Just don’t stay up too late reading these, or else you might not be able to fall asleep!
• download Visual Boy Advance! This is an emulator that allows you to play old Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games on your computer! There are hundreds of games available in ROM form, files that can be loaded up and played directly through the Visual Boy Advance! 
  
• search online for your own Sidekick/Danger Hiptop phone (or any similar QWERTY flip or slide phone) and order it (ideally unlocked). be sure to do your research and read everything in the description before buying one

Add on to this list! Us scenecore/teencore/webcore/emocore peeps need your help to expand the list with more ideas!

one more quick one for tonight

have an army of stuffed animals/plushies on your bed. they can be Skelanimals, Gloomy Bear, Pokemon, Ugly Dolls, Neopets, Emily The Strange, Webkinz, Sonic, My Little Pony, Hello Kitty, Tokidoki, or ones you’ve made yourself!

still living for these
