Azura in a sheer white dress with bell sleeves and a nun habit, sitting on a dresser and praying.

Azura praying sitting on the dresser. The shot is wider and you can see a Bible on a prayer bench in front of them, as well as candles and a cross beside them.

Holding on long enough to see the walls crumble

A photo of Azura taken through a hole in a crumbling wall. They're wearing a black gothic lolita dress, a black headpiece, grey striped thigh high socks, platform leather boots. Light from a hole to outside peaks between their arm and their waist.

Azura in a decaying room in an abandoned building, leaning on the wall with one hand next to graffiti of the word "Die" and a plush rabbit in the other hand. A rusty shelf lies on top of ceiling panels beside them, and a boarded up window behind them on the wall. Sunlight pours in from a crack in the corner.

I really really really hate it and it makes me not trust cis men at all. I'm sorry do better y'all. Ew.

Gloomth & the Cult of Melancholy @gloomth.bsky.social · Sep 19

I've had dudes offer (unsolicited) to redo my website (to which I always offer my services as an unqualified hair cutter in response), men pretending to know me to solicit photos from girls (including having to involve cops about this), "network" through vaguely knowing me etc etc.

I may pray, but I must confess I don't have faith the way you think

Azura with hands clasped in prayer, wearing a white lolita dress over a mesh seifuku, a black collar, and a white medical bracelet. Behind them is a wall of crosses and crucifixes.

Azura in front of the wall of crosses and a church pew, beside them is a wooden confessional. They're wearing the white nurse dress, black knee socks, and shiny brogues, spreading their skirts and looking up.

Azura wearing a white and red nurse lolita dress over a white mesh seifuku top, sitting on a church pew in front of a wall of crosses. One of the crosses is red neon, the glow staining their long white hair. They look off to the side, one elbow propped up on the back of the pew

Azura sitting on the church pew, camera looking down at them from above. One arm is draped across the back of the pew and a white rabbit lays among the ruffles of their full skirt.

At the @gloomth.bsky.social clown themed closet sale event at their store Doll Funeral! Hanging out with @lucylynx.bsky.social too 🥰🤡

A mirror selfie of Azura in a clown outfit. They have an orange Halloween print dress over a black and white striped blouse, black and white fluffy legwarmers, orange crocs, hair in half pigtails, and a jack o' lantern clown nose.

A close up of Azura's clown makeup. You can also see a black bat collar around their neck.

Azura with Lucy Lynx, both smiling in clown outfits and makeup.

Azura in a see through green lolita dress over a black high neck blouse with combat boots. They're in front of a tangle of coaster tracks and a ferris wheel, the whole image a wash of cyan toning.
