Uh.... I wore a cloak my mom made for the Purple Rain concerts. It was heavy wool with a purple velvet lining. I used it as part of my wizard costume for middle school and just wore it from time to time because I'm a loving wizard gently caress you. Also bought a london fog and matching fedora around that time and wore them together because I was a loving dick gently caress you.

David Eaton showed up the day after Columbine wearing white makeup and a cape telling everyone in the hall that he was going to cut their heads off. The cops arrested him in the library where he was praying in tongues. We never saw him in school again. Later my buddy and I made fun of this goth girl in our art class because we knew she liked him.

We did have a guy that wore the same pair of oversized pants with flames on them every day for a year. He also had long hair but was balding at 17.

We had spirit week or some poo poo leading up to homecoming, and every day was some differently themed dress-up thing. I don't remember exactly what the theme was, but I once wore a cow-pattern cloak my mother had made for me. I guess that means I was the closest thing to a cape kid in my high school.... I still have it, and I throw it on whenever I need a last minute costume for a party or something.

We had the kid that wore a tie and carried a briefcase everyday too. I once tried to compliment him on his tie and he stared straight ahead and pretended to not hear me. It was real weird. I think he might've been terrified of girls or something.

No, but there was this kid who would wear oversize sweaters with ripped fishnet pantyhose. The sleeves were so long sometimes he'd run around while twirling them and calling them his propellers. He would draw a lot, mostly pictures of inanimate objects loving, like cars or trees.

I'm not a dude  The cape was down to my knees when I was a kid, but now it's at my hips so it really doesn't look that weird. Sometimes there are days where I just want to wear something that will keep me a little warmer or a little drier without wearing a hoodie. Capes just look a lot nicer than a hoodie IMHO.

we did have a kid with a rolling backpack who sprinted through the halls. sometimes i saw him in the cafeteria, seemingly talking to himself. but an underclassman informed me that actually, he has conversations with his calculators. he loves math and has a handful of different graphing calculators, for god know what purpose. he wrote a story for class where his calculators spoke to him and helped him pass such and such exam. e: he hung out with a kid who really did not like me. the kid could not properly modulate his voice and basically yelled all the time. i guess they were tight.

Trojan.exe posted:I'm not a dude Oh, yeah, it's a little different if you're a chick. I've actually seen women wear short capes like a shawl and it looked okay depending on the outfit as a whole. Given the nature of the thread, I was obviously imagining a 28 year-old dude wearing a long cloak like an autistic Legolas.

When I was in high school in the early 90s, we had a "vampire" kid who would frequently come in with the full Dracula. Tux-like outfit, cape, and sometimes a cane with fake huge diamond on top. I vaguely remember him being kinda short and chunky. He was also one of the three Ians we had at that school during my time there, so there were a few mixups here and there. We were only in the same class once fortunately.

my aunt and uncle went to australia and brought me back this crazy australian cavalry riding duster with the big ol' mantle and pockets everywhere and it was made of hemp and had this weird waterproofing wax coating on it and as a 13/14 year old i thought it was insanely dope and I wore it when it was rainy or snowing Then one day I saw a real grownup wearing a duster and he was the worst thing i ever saw and i dont think I ever wore it again outside of occasionally taking out of the closet and putting it on and looking in the mirror and wishing the world was fair Oh and a couple of times when I was drunk and had to go out in the snow or rain for more booze or something and went to the closet for a jacket and saw it hangin there all lonely and was like "gently caress it yo time to shine mfers" and I'd throw it on with this minnetonka outback hat that was also a gift from the same aunt and uncle who apparently just want me to look like the sperg they know i am, and id go out lookin like a fuckin van helsing and the next day I'd wake up hung over and I'd see the jacket hangin by the radiator to dry off and I'd let out a darth vader "NOOOOOO" bc the drat jacket had tempted me again and like a whore, like a fuckin cat in heat, i had let it enfold my body outside in public for everyone to see Lonos Oboe posted:I am more than happy to ruin, I mean rectify things for you That is me irl Watchin holy mountain and talkin bout fuckup boots and Adam smashers to the barista Read all my posts in that voice and everything i say will make sense

This isn't a cape story but there was this creepy kid named Eric who wore a khaki vest - the kind with like 50 pockets on it - every single day in high school. Eric was an outcast among outcasts, most of the goths and skids thought he was a basket case and barely tolerated him. I saw Eric recently. Still wearing that vest.

Had one dude in high school who wore a goddamn fez. Also a kid who dyed his hair platinum blonde and spiked it so he could pretend to be a super saiyan.

In college there were a number of kids who wore cloaks like ALL THE TIME. I think they had summerweight cloaks for when it was too warm to wear the regular thick wool ones. Also at the summer academic program I've taught at there was this kid who dressed like a Sith Lord literally every day. I'm talking knee-high leather boots, black trousers, black shirt, black cloak, long hair with a ponytail...the works.

There was a pair of girls in my high school that were a complete mystery to me. They both wore elaborate kimonos every Monday and Friday, and I never once saw them apart. They were both slim and very attractive, but seemed to have no friends other than each other. I didn't even know their names, and no one else seemed to, either. They didn't do kabuki makeup or anything, just the elaborate kimonos and the updo with chopsticks thing that was popular in the 90's. On the other days they just wore regular girl clothes. Our school didn't have a Japanese club or anything, so it wasn't for that. In fact, thinking back on it, I'm starting to wonder if it wasn't a 4 year long delusion I was having.

We go to the local convenience store on LARP weekends when we're out of junk food in full costume. Making direct eye contact with the people who stare at you is mildly satisfying. Full elf ear prosthetic, cloak, tunic, belt pouches and a scabbard with a latex/foam sword.

I'm one of the rare goths that got thinner as they got older Ah, the coke goth edit: When I was going to the local community college there was a spot in the dining area that was slightly raised up and had a sort of fence surrounding the step that became known as the Nerd Cage because all the nerdiest people would gather there to watch anime on their laptops and play M:tG. There were plenty of fox tails and cat ears but one guy in particular who seemed to be the ringleader wore full Vash the Stampede gear at least once a week, glasses and bright red coat and everything. He must have been attending there for at least 6 years because after I graduated, I mentioned him to my younger brother who said he still sees him there like clockwork, although some of the crew has either graduated or moved on. He already seemed significantly older than most when I was there, so who knows how long he had been there before I came. Heath fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jul 5, 2016 |

I wore dusters a lot. Eventually I sold one of them to a fellow, even worse?, nerd friend for like 100 bucks so that was cool. I also wore this shirt a lot: which got me talked to down at the principal's office about how I wasn't allowed to wear it anymore because it was scaring teachers or some bullshit like that. One dude would come to classes drunk or high all the time. I still remember him coming to gym class wearing a duct tape beard and mustache, talking in a pirate voice, and demanding to be referred to as Captain Morgan. He was in a band with a funny name / album title of course.
