/fa/ - Fashion

You have autism, huh?

>>15114957
If ur gonna be a narcissist (into fashion) at least have the self awareness to know you're a piece of shit and not give a shit about your well being, how can you be afraid of getting cancer in 49 years and be posting about fashion? You should want to kill yourself

>>15115000
Oh, big time. Sometimes it even works in my favor. Besides, it's been nine years since Ryan Gosling proved that autism can be a look; welcome to the present.
>>15115004

>I tried being self-hating and suicidal. It wasn't for me, but thanks for the recommendation.
just wait for your mania phase to end and you can cycle back into depression
you are riding a high that will run out and then you will crawl back to 4chan and cry and post feels

>>15115099
No way. I'll just go back to taking my pills. Hey, maybe there's an idea there, popping psychoactives out of a nice little tin or something...More ideas, come on come on

bro, please go sit down you’re scaring the hoes. i’ve never read some shit on /fa/ that screams *tips my fedora* more. stop LARPing. it’s cool that you think autism is your superpower or whatever the fuck, but literally just smoke cigarettes, it’s fine.

>>15115112
>taking pills
what an awful life

you want a toothpick?

>>15115134
>*tips my fedora*
The fedora tip is also a ritual, and it's quite stylish in its own context (read: not here and not now).
>stop LARPing
Acting with intentional style is now a LARP. No wonder people are so depressed these days; fun, imagination, personal distinction, it's all verboten. Actually, though, you're absolutely right. It is a LARP. Everything we do is a LARP. You can have fun with it or bore yourself to death. This is just fashion in motion, donning a behavior or personal effect like one might don an accessory.
>literally just smoke cigarettes
It's not my look, anon.

Ok, /fa/, we're a few posts in and I have nothing. You can keep choosing to call me mean names, and I can respond by choosing to call you creatively bankrupt...Or we can work on this project together and maybe enjoy ourselves a bit. As always, it's entirely up to you...

As I mentioned previously, I've already tried being suicidal. Even if that were my thing, there are better ways.

>>15114957
Ok, let's take this from the top. The reason that lighters and smoking are cool is BECAUSE the ritual is symbolic language saying that you embrace self-destructive behavior for short term gratification. That's the whole godamn point. It's the live fast die young mentality that is cool, the lighter is just a means of broadcasting it.

Decide what message you want to symbolically communicate, then the ritual and artifacts should be fairly simple afterthoughts.

OP is more of a faggot than usual here

>>15114957
similar to this..

>>15114957
>>15115112
If being "cool" is what you want, you'd have to be nonchalant. Think only of whatever object as a tool, not an accessory. I do drugs but don't do them to appear "cool" what does that even mean? Only use when necessary. Also, cut the theatric way of speaking. It isn't charming. It sounds like you took adderall while writing an english paper.

When in doubt: KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. I'd say a pocketwatch would fit but that's almost on par with a fedora.

>>15116095
This, really takes the cake for most faggot OP I think I've ever seen

>>15114957
How about a butterfly knife? It's actually useful to have a knife on you, and you can autistically flourish it when you take it out. And if you're not getting enough attention from that, you can clean your nails with it idly.

Not necessarily - you just have to give the appearance of being nonchalant. It's like putting in effort to make an outfit appear effortless. Still, it's something to consider.

Thanks, but it's pretty habitual by this point and would be difficult to change. It certainly seems that it isn't winning me any friends here.

Carry a pack and a lighter on you. You don't have to smoke, but when a girl asks for a cigarette or a light you can say "Yeah sure, mind if I join you?"

Just like the rest of us had to do in highschool when that cute senior girl asked if you had one and you ran to your friend and bummed two to seem cooler than you were and ended up associating making out with her with No. 27s which got you addicted to nicotine at 15 and you never looked back.

Basically, just smoke.

Alright you insufferable little fuck. If you have a car, get a lanyard. Twirl it around. Put a mini lighter or some shit on there. That's your secret. If you do it when you want to ignore something, it makes you seem aloof and superior to the speaker which really isn't that what you're going for with this persona? Personally I like the way you talk(although I bet a dildo up my ass you don't have nearly that much confidence irl) but your vocabulary comes off as really fucking pretentious. Also, if you're wondering, I use tic-tacs in that fashion myself. I find it takes a lot of self-control to not eat them all at once and can be used as a trigger ritual for self-actualization.

I carry around 2 sets of matching card decks.

I like this idea. What it lacks in "cool" it makes up for in "fun." Now I'm imagining turning the idea on its head with a tarot deck, though. With the right situation, the right audience, and the right theatrics, suddenly forcing the Tower or something could be really dramatic. This is especially difficult, though, because you'd have to establish yourself as a mystic first.

>>15118499

If your going to go that route actually learn to read the cards and do it right. Might be good for parties, but you'll have to get invited first.

My grandpa uses a similar trick, but it's a joke. He keeps a photo of an ugly woman in his wallet, tells people that it's his wife from years ago, and asks them whether they think she's pretty.

>What sort of item did you have in mind?
I knew a guy who used to carry around a juul after beating his nicotine addiction. If he saw a homeless guy bumming cigs he would him strike. His reasoning was not only was the act of pulling it out and contemplating it before putting it back a huge boost of discipline and confidence, any desire to hit it was replaced with fear that he would get something from the people he let hit. Except that was all just made up by faggot online. It doesn't have to be a juul, but anything can have meaning if you get creative with a backstory. Token? Former obsessive gambler. It doesn't even have to be bad either. Coin? Your desire to rise out of the extreme poverty you came out of? The sky's kinda the limit OP

I agree with this guy, there is a huge rabbit hole of cool looking card decks you can find. the most basic starter places to get good decks would be either ellusionist or theory11. not only do they look really interesting, but there's the potential to learn lots of small sleight-of-hand tricks

It is in sight for only the short duration that it needs to be. It taps into the psychological appeal of hand motion. It produces fucking fire. If you don't understand how cool that is, I can't explain it.

OP is a troll or massively autistic and doesn’t actually go out of his mom’s house.

>>15114957
have as many designer lighters as you want because there's a really easy answer for you if you want to use them but don't smoke: incense sticks (but not so many like pic related)
it would be actually pretty cool if you have to wait around just light a stick and prop it up near you, it's a pretty good balance between being just interesting or too eccentric.

>>15129689
you need to pair your incense stick with some pretty nifty lighters that you leave lying right next to to the stick for maximum attention, something like this one. also could periodically move the stick around you

>>15114957

Have you ever seen Jimi Hendrix in an interview? That guy had something very much like autism, and he's seen as the epitome of cool. Now, I'm not Jimi Hendrix, but it's a counterexample...something to aspire to, maybe.
>>15129689
>lighting incense
I actually like this idea. I do think it would be difficult to pull off, but if I went full hippie..."I'm banishing the bad vibrations from this space." That could actually work in a psychosomatic sense if you see "bad vibrations" as bad moods and incense as aromatherapy. Alternatively, I could lean into the shinto-practicing salaryman look and maybe achieve some balance in presentation.

>>15129884
I don't imagine it as something a hippie would do but rather a neofolkish sort with earth toned clothing, loose linen shirts maybe, boots who would talk or think about some vedic texts or whatever rather than hippy stuff while enjoying the incense

wont the flame melt the plastic in the process and turn it from clear to opaque over time?

A snus can functions as a bottle opener after some practice, and subsitutes smoking.

I've lost interest in responding to every suggestion in this thread, but I'll respond to your post for the purpose of creating the impression of a "human connection" in this hellish place. I appreciate your calling me an "actual person," as authenticity is something I value. I do enjoy affirmation from others and will not pretend otherwise. Honestly, your post brightened my day. Keep spreading positivity where and when you can. If you like something about someone, tell them. It makes a difference. It isn't futile. It's a light in the darkness. Also, I'll mention that there are apparently trends in the enjoyment of putting others down, etc., that run so deep that theoretically topical boards such as this one can become nothing but vehicles for those trends in which the topic (in this case, fashion) is just an incidental framework for engaging in certain behaviors. In other words, anon 1 can say that anon 2 has "shit taste in fashion," and anon 1's motivations for doing so will essentially have nothing to do with fashion. Over time, this can supplant the community's legitimate communal interest in fashion. This disturbs me immensely.

The inside part is metal like a typical Zippo, the outer case is some special plastic. In any case it doesn't melt in my experience, especially considering that the flame is extinguished instantly once the lighter is closed. Pic is the one I have, heavy use for about 6 months and the opacity hasn't changed at all

>>15132592
This is why we go the extra mile and think about how to make it look like we haven't been thinking. I'm told this is the essence of Parisian fashion. Also, this is the old problem of "I've never seen a toupee that didn't look fake." Well, you wouldn't know it was a toupee if it didn't look fake, now would you?

anyhow, that's not melting a lighter's plastic

>>15135131
ok I have a suggestion leading on from this idea if OP is truly uninterested in any of these outside of others perception. This will only work if you have a place you regularly visit. Buy or borrow interesting/intellectual books and read a summary online, then pretend to read them when you're out, and change book every few days. People with think you have slightly unconventional interests and are smart enough to read real quick.

i can imagine nothing cooler than pulling out your portable Software-defined radio (SDR) and tinkering at it (cause you'll have to do that a lot). needs to be paired with an equally effay pair of headphones

That thread was a ride. I started reading thinking OP was a huge faggot but with every post of his I got more and more convinced that he is not only incredibly honest but also very similar to myself. I now appreciate this thread and officially declare OP one of the if not he best OPs I've seen recently. He still is around and answers most ideas with absolute honesty, different from most of the 12 year olds who claim stupid shit because they don't realize it has no point to lie on the mongolian undertaker forum

I like the book idea since I read most of the time when I am waiting somewhere but I use an eReader because I can't afford buying many books and I love it besides its looks. Nobody sees what I am reading and that honestly sucks. Any ideas frens?

>>15136550

I do, in fact, like SDR and think it's cool (or at least could be cool). While I think it's a bit complicated for what I had in mind, I may start carrying one around anyway just to listen in on whatever there is to hear.

I obviously dont know you anon but from what I read I think I can say with confidence that you are one of the most insufferable boring piece of shit I have ever had the misfortune to get in contact with. I hope someday you eventually grow up and get a personality, you cant really do fashion without one.

>>15139446
Tell me more about what you think you can say about me. It should be interesting, whether you're wrong or right. I find it intriguing that you include so many qualifiers ("I think" and "I obviously don't know you") yet still feel confident enough to post. Also, what are you hoping to accomplish by saying this? Do you want me to feel pain? Are you legitimately urging me to change? Are you just following a whim to express your feelings? I want to understand it. Maybe think up a suggestion, too, or else I will have to call you "creatively bankrupt," as is the tradition.

>>15139446
>I hope someday you eventually grow up and get a personality, you cant really do fashion without one.
Fashion in and of itself is a combination of aesthetically pleasing clothes and a sort of proto-personality created by the stuff you wear. It's the first impression before the first impression if you will and implying you have to be some renaissance man to dress good is an idea for professional retards.

>>15115091
Mints. Get an interesting looking tin as well. Most use people use them to cover up smokers breath but also stops bad breath from ruining a conversation.

>>15114957
Just don’t smoke regularly. Your lungs can repair themselves over time and it takes like 2 weeks to get hooked on nicotine.

>>15139643
The clothes dont create the bits of "personality", its already there. Clothes only highlight certain aspects of you and hide others, the highlighted parts together create the aesthetic. Also, without a personality how could you decide what you want to communicate about yourself?

AirPods have become an obscene neolib replacement for the act of smoking, I see tech faggots mimicking (subconsciously) the way you reach into your pocket and shuffle around for a pack than bend your neck down to put it in your mouth, than pulling the phone out for music replaces the light.

>Or some chinese balls

>>15140729
The calcification of the pineal gland is a multifaceted issue. It is mostly connected to a lack of proper light and sleep hygeine, as well as consumption of certain minerals in excess that can cause what is known as "Corpora arenacea", or brain sand. TL;DR DO NOT expose yourself to light after sundown, expose yourself to light every morning for 15-30 minutes, meditate at least once per day, and start learning yoga asanas (very carefully). All of these have been proven to increase melatonin production upon sleeping eg. stimulates the pineal gland.

First of all: lighters aren't just for smoking. However, it sounds like you want something you can casually pull out and look cool. Books are kino for this shit. You can even write in them, especially if its got some kind of cool cover. Doesn't even have to be an actual journal, just pull out your nearest copy of Shakespeare and start doodling on the page, absolutely Chad.

Yes, Lion's Mane does work. If you want to see exactly what is "working", check the link below:
http://mushroomreferences.com/category/lions-mane/
Fish Oil is great, truly essential. Just make sure that your almonds are soaked for ~12h-overnight to mitigate most of the anti-nutrients. Further, analyze your diet using Cronometer to determine how much Omega 6 you are consuming, as almonds very quickly add up and can lead to an imbalance.(https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/optimize-omega-6-omega-3-ratio).).
