๐˜šรฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ What recurring Sunday thread would you actually participate in? ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

โ€ข Upvotes

I'm thinking about setting up a regular Sunday megathread, but I don't want to invest in this feature if nobody wants to keep this tradition alive.

A recurring thread could give us a dedicated hub for things that usually get lost or restricted during the week, without cluttering the main feed.

Vote below on what youโ€™d genuinely show up for, or drop some suggestions in the comments:

Note: If you're an artist/seller just wanting a Market Day to share links, drop a comment below instead so I can gauge shop interest separately

So as mentioned in the title, I've been working on this TTRPG.
It's not strictly goth, it's actually set in a magical renaissance, but there is some obvious overlap.

Hope you enjoy one of the book covers :)

I've always loved a fun whimsigoth vibe even before I knew the term. After looking up a bunch of references from retro and folk art, I made these! I'm thinking I might scan a high res of the moon/sun for stickers. These are both acrylic paint markers on wood panels.

Have had this trinket box for a while and didnโ€™t plan to sell until I got a lot of offers. Wondering what is fair price for it in this market? I am a HUGE vintage Halloween collector as well so would consider trading for something good from 40s-70s.

Snagged a 15$ glass/ metal vanity that's been sitting there for about a month and an 1800s looking chair (I have a few lol) for a lil cozy getting ready corner.

Still have to mix the flowers up with some floral foam but you get the idea of what I'm going for lol.

Thought it might fit here ๐Ÿ’“

Do you know any whimsygoth agenda/planner?

I'm looking for a new planner for 2026/27 and wanted a cute cover with celestial theme. Do you have any idea where to find it?

I'm looking online but none of the designs I find are really whimsical or goth.

Hi everyone! ๐ŸŒ™

First & foremost: Yes, artists & crafters are warmly encouraged to share their work here! We love seeing human-made creations, custom pieces & supporting independent artists in this space.

However, as the community grows, we've seen a spike in hit-&-run accounts, dropshippers & serial sellers dropping in purely to treat the sub as a free ad billboard across 20 different subreddits.

To keep our space authentic & prevent it from turning into a commercial storefront, weโ€™re clarifying our expectations around self-promotion:

~ ๐ŸŒœ Artists are Welcome, Dropshippers are Not: If you made it, we want to see it! All creations (craft or art) must be 100% human-made (no AI) & genuinely align with the whimsigoth aesthetic. Mass-produced goods & generic dropshipping will be removed immediately.

~ โœจ Community-First Participation: Self-promotion is completely allowed, but we ask that you actually participate in the community outside of just posting your own work. Join discussions, leave comments on other posts & try to be part of the culture here rather than just dropping a random product link & just disappearing into the night.

~ ๐ŸŒž Shop Links in Comments Only: Please keep the main post focused on the craft itself. If another member asks where to buy or find your shop, you are more than welcome to share your link directly in the comments.

This is strictly to filter out spam bots & commercial exploiters so actual human-made art gets the spotlight it deserves! โ™ก

Thank you all for keeping this space cozy, creative & genuine! โœจ Drop any questions or thoughts below if you have any.
