I notice kids' clothes only because I am pissed that they dont make the same kind of stuff for adults. Why can't my 6'6'' tall ass be dressed head to toe in Spongebob Squarepants clothes?

You have to go the other way around it, white shirt, brown pants, red tie, you can BE spongebob

My name might be Robert but I am not a sponge. Just kinda spongey... Spongey Robert Normal Pants. 😩

Fix it. And square your edges.

Have you been to Hot Topic recently? You absolutely can

I would never have dreamed there would be a day you could walk out of a Hot Topic in bright yellow.

But also: Do they still cater to just anorexic high school kids? They never had anything larger than a medium back in the day.

Modern Hot Topic is nothing like classic Hot Topic. I guess the relative target demographic hasn't changed, and you can still get Miyazaki and somehow Invader Zim (do the kids know who that is?) but it's otherwise straight up cringe.

Which Miyazaki, tho? I'd hit up HT for some Dark Souls/Elden Ring shirts. Or... Well, I guess I'd also get Ghibli shit, too... 🤔

Really in for miyazaki/miyazaki crossover, but i guess the best we'll ever get is that miyazaki world war 2 movie with werner herzog

Are you kidding? My Hot Topic always had plus sizes and plenty of obese kids shopping there. It was like the only place in the mall with size diversity that wasn't also "I'm a stereotypical American housewife over 40."

Find the fabric. Find a tailor. Live your dreams.
