Kandi Kid - Blog Posts

This probably took me to Long

I MADE MY FIRST EVER KANDI BRACELET !!!!!!

I’ve gotten REALLY obsessed with Scenecore and Scene in general. One of the things I like the most is the accessories!! I already have a few kandi bracelets that my friends made (a single that says plague on it, a rainbow cuff, and a little green and white one with a star smiley on it, two of the three courtesy of my bff @/sharkysalmon) ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

I really want to learn how to make a cuff, but I dunno what I want it to be!! If anyone has suggestions, lemme know!!! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

(also, hand reveal i guess XD)

Working on a new custom and made them a necklace! Was gonna make it a rotating cuff but I like it flat better tbh

Howdy, my name is Critter. Have y'all heard of this lil thing called Craftivism? Here are 5 types of Punk/DIY Crafts I think we need to embrace, sooner rather than later!

Crochet/Knitting

Yarn and crochet/knitting supplies are relatively easy and inexpensive to get your hands on, and learning to crochet/knit is relatively easy with video tutorials. Once you learn the basics, you can create patches and clothing items that support certain causes. You can also do yarn-bombing (essentially graffiti using crochet/knitting) as a way to spread awareness about certain issues. Here are the patterns I listed above:

LGBTQ Pride Keychains

BLM Patch

Palestine Flag Heart

LGBTQ Pole Wrap

Womens March Hat

Pins

All you need is something hard and sturdy to act as the base for your pin (bottle caps work best), soda tabs + a safety pin, and some glue to secure everything. Paint or decorate them however you please. Let people know who you are and what you stand for. 

Kandi

While Kandi can be a way to express yourself and your identities, it is also a way to make community. Kandi-trading is huge in the EDM scene, and it is a huge part of why that community is so tight. You don’t need to make anything elaborate, especially to start out - just get some cheap pony beads from the dollar store, some letters, make some pretty bracelets. Keep them, trade them, give them away. 

Embroidery

Embroidery is a very fun and useful skill to develop, as you can basically put whatever you like wherever you want. Mend your socks, personalize your jacket, make some patches. Stop buying those shitty embroidered clothes from temu or shein and make your own one-of-a-kind pieces. Learning embroidery is pretty easy, just get some fabric, some thread, a needle, and go ham.

Zines

Zines are not only a way to spread awareness about certain issues, but they are a way to express yourself and talk about your personal experiences. I’ve included instructions on how to fold a zine, as well as some examples of zines. If you would like to learn more about zines & their history, I recommend @/decolonizationcoven on Tiktok. If you would like more examples of zines, check about any social media platform, but especially Pinterest. Lastly, if you would like inspiration for zines, Canva has lots of templates of zine layouts that are easy to replicate.

a pile of kandi

me because the school bathroom smells like the rave

Just made some Kandi 😼

The rave got canceled cause someone reported it :( genuinely so sad, but here was my fit, to the person who couldn’t handle the cringe rave, ur a loser, and ‘cringe’ ppl will exist no matter what. U suck ballz🙂 reporting a rave is the dumbest shi you can do just let ppl have fun you buzzkill.

Gonna start posting my Kandi on here, here’s a Pokémon cuff I make in like 3 1/2 hours on my day off. I’m gonna wear it at a rave tomorrow!!!

is helluva boss actually bad or do people just dislike the Fandom??

Like i want to watch it after I saw this really funny clip today, but I get so many mixed reasons why not to watch it

I've recently been wondering if I want to switch my style to a more goth look but I'm not sure :<

my perler wall :D ! I've made a lot more, but i like giving them to my friends / bf ( @trigger-my-nightmare-once-again 🤍)

- blinkie credit to @implalazz :>

if anyone else wants to make these please message me and i'll send you the patterns and what bead kits i used depending on the perler !!

Another scene hot-take post of something i wanted 2 add since my last one is currently popping off :D!! :

If someone tries to tell you that you can't be in a sorority and be emo / scene / goth etc. they're a total liar, and I am living proof of this fact <3

getting ready 4 a rave tn because my roommate / best friend is born on New Years day :D

My Scene Hot-Takes Becuz I Like 2 Argue :]

buying kandi (unless in support of another kandi kid) literally takes away from the one of the CORE VALUES of the subculture

trying to police scene content creators or posters is literally stupid since 85% of all the real scene people are adults and their friends are adults: Drug use, inappropriate lyrics or language, and hypersexuality is nothing new around here

scenecore is not scene. it's a watered (DROWNED) down aesthetic of the real thing

liking and listening to the music, connecting with and upholding PLUR, and being friendly / accepting of everyone no matter who they are or how they present is more important than the fashion- if you judge someone for not having the "look" then you're probably the fake here

you literally cannot be scene / emo and then make fun of furries or people who are fur suitters, kemonomimi people, or people that dress in goth, lolita, or visual kei fashion- it's literally a case of the pot calling the kettle black atp.

YOOOOOO WAIT ZOMG ANOTHER SCENE HORROR FAN!!!!! I FOUND U FROM MY SLASHER BLOG@slashert4t YR SOOOO KEWL
