Anon, consider this.

Up until two years ago crosses were an exclusive gothic thing. AP didn't use them much, Moitie used them everywhere.

Then suddenly, bam. Cherry Marguerite with floral crosses. Milky Cross with dead cats and crosses, in pink and lavender. Dolly Cross, which appears to be a sweet take on Moitie's Lace Cross jsk. Tacky Las Vegas cross-shaped bags with equally tacky handles of giant beads. Holy Theatre with dead animals with crosses. Cecilia Cross with crosses, Mother Mary, and I guess Jesus the magic unicorn. Shadow Dream Carnival with ponies on sticks and crosses. Plus last week's Holy Lacy Doll featuring fabric made of crosses.

The motifs don't make the style. This isn't gurokawa menhera, the substyles aren't centred around themes. You can't just "claim" coffin and bats for gothic lolitaland and then declare them off limits to every other substyle.

Also pic related, coffins and bats, sweet lolita in black.
