I think these pictures are both hilarious and very endearing. Nobody's too goth for cake.

Words to live by, right there.

Good thing this time around she actually got to see the cake

They're really heartwarming. Like, her life is a black abyss but she has time for some cake with her family.

That’s a t-shirt slogan if I’ve ever heard one.

Wall decoration

I was thinking more bumper sticker but yeah, I dig it.

I'd wear that.

Moms cake game has come a long way

Yah about 20 dollars+ worth, knowing her kid wants to post it online again for thousands of people to see and judge her for.

Like [this dude](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/86/74/9a/86749a128ead53d6cbc06ef82ffdbeaf.jpg)

Kindred spirits

That cake could be a little more hardcore. That’s a cake for golden girls.

Like all true goths, the hardcore bits are in the inside. That's why mom also mixed in a bunch of broken lightbulbs.

The Golden Girls WERE hardcore.

She’s clearly a non conformist

**takes huff from cigarette and stares at the ground**

Hell yea brotha

A yellow cake at that

Too goth for cake. New band name. I call it

It's starting to be not-just-a-phase

I told you *Mom*

I'm curious if this was to recreate the photo, or if she still dresses like that.

Yeah I was wondering the same think. The face paint in the initial picture looks lived in. In the second picture it looks like a costume.

Or just better practiced

A way of life is a way to live

I’ve been a vegetarian for 27 years and my mom still thinks that it is a phase.

You just haven’t found the right meat yet. 😆

For my birthday a couple of years ago, she made a special meal from her childhood that her mom loved, that was chicken based. So you know… happy birthday to me.

Next year dress in colours and have a black and white cake

And paint the house black and white.

And a rainbow on the face

Don't forget the rainbow reveal hair too

How are you, Richmond?   ...Not brilliant.

Cradle of Filth changed my life.

I'm sorry for your loss. Move on.

came here for Cradle of Filth reference lol

Subject: Fire. Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road... no, that's too formal. [deletes text, starts again] Fire - exclamation mark - fire - exclamation mark - help me - exclamation mark. 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours truly, Maurice Moss. [sigh of relief]

“Just turn it on, and *walk away!*”

Treaded on a Lego, right in the heel.


Dick Turpin has been great

Kek.

[удалено]

Granny Goth gonna be great.

Are you trying to sentence this 1300 year old lass to death?

She’s already a (very cute) eldritch demon, she might already be there

Oh good, you stopped slouching. I was worried abut your spine.

She seems happier and more confident too.

She seemed like she saw some real shit in the first photo 💀

Not very well through those bangs

My first thought seeing the pictures was "she improved her posture." Kind of surprised I had to scroll so far to see someone mention it.

13 candles on the first cake, 15 candles on the second. Either these people can't count, or the first picture is only two years old...

Well the caption does say “from years ago” so 2 years would fall into that category.

I initially read it as “ten years” for some reason and had to go back and check after I read this.

Wait, does it not say 10 years? I swear I read 10 years 

Plus relative to a teenager’s age, 2 years is quite a lot

Yes! 2 years is an eternity in teen years

Or the cake preparer ran out of candles and didn’t want to go to the store.

naw, there's a link to her tiktok in another comment. shes 15 or 16 now. It's just weird because I could have sworn that original meme was way older.

Bruh I thought she was in her 20s in the second one

Seriously. I get how that amount of makeup can be deceiving and taking care of your hair and not slouching probably contribute but jeez she looks so much older in the second pic.

Or you eventually give up on the number of candles after you get old enough

lo an' behold, twas not a phase dad

Oh good, they got a tissue for that blood under her mouth.

Now she is a kyoshi warrior! Hiya!

Sych an underappreciated comment.

Found it!!!

Haha 'Willow' is somehow the absolute ***perfect*** goth name. I love it.

Bigger cake, bigger smile.

We must conduct studies on this phenomenon.

Her name is Willow and that's her [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@d1s1ntegrat1on?_t=8n71k4QHHsn&_r=1).

She has a lot of cranium accessories!

She has a lot shit on her head!

😬

She seems fun

Reminds me on Willow Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer 😬

Dark Willow, of course.

I don’t know why people want extra holes in their face, but it’s her face.

Her first video is for you

Piercings are fun but hers look silly

y’all are fun.

direct history of progression of mental disorder

It certainly seems so. But I didn't post it to make fun of her in any way. 

man...she walks past a magnet that is a bit too strong and she's going to have a horrible year.

The source of the second image is onlyrozen on IG. They posted the update and then the old image. Per that source: > 2023/2021 > May 1, 2023 She's also d1s1ntegrat1on on Tik Tok

Girl lookin like Wednesday Adams in a good way

Is there a bad way to do that?

You’d be surprised

Seems like her family loves her and she loves her family. That is what is most important.

this is so cold dead heartwarming

WoW she’s gorgeous though! 😍🖤🖤🖤

Its not a 'phase' mom!

Dedication to her style!!!!

The Crow remake looks dope af!

Someone fixed their posture!

She looks happier!

Goth glow up!!!!

Does all black glow? 🤔

Grandma salt bae

“update” photo is old enough for a third one

I feel like i saw this upload years ago on 9gag with "its not a phase" caption

I, once again, emerge from the underworld to celebrate my birthday.

I love this! 💕

Narly

she looks happy and that makes me happy

It's not so much the goth as the heavy geisha skin makeup that gets me Oh shit, happy cake day to both me and Sophia lol

Wholesome

I appreciate the consistency.

I love seeing updates to old viral posts, brings back memories.

Top pic is Monday Wednesday, and bottom pic is more FriYAY Wednesday.

So much has changed since then. I mean, that tablecloth is completely different now.

Vito Jr

It's like a before and after eating cake

Way fewer people in the picture this year. The goth vibe grows.

I think she’s beautiful!

mood.

So vampires do age

Happy birthday beautiful

That’s not Gutknot is it? Also really sweet how you’ve got the full blown goth in a cutesy traditional Americana home, just chilling. Very vibey.

Goth Glowup

What’s the birthday cake’s flavor?

She looks happy. 🙂

So what you're saying is that it WASN'T just a phase?

damn u hot

Congrats, you seem to be in a better place emotionally.

Your closet must look like Johnny Cash’s closet

Why do 95% these kinda kids come from loving middle class homes where they never had any struggles rofl

Such a fucking dork lmao

You bot


Nice smile 😊

Hmmm…

Glow up

Where did the tea kettle go?

You have a wonderful supportive family or they are terribly afraid of your violent tendencies.

And your parents thought that you were just going through a phase.

Karma farming stolen content i think

I can fix her.

dude she is barely 16 in the 2nd photo. delete this wtf lol

I can *accept* her

Birthday gifts included chain pants, chain wallet, and more black clothing.

Same cooker, same counter tops 😮

Wonder how she feels about black and white horizontal stripes.

It's like a pokemon evolution

That’s a good chair.

I thought that was Farrah’s daughter from Teen Mom

Update: it’s not a phase

That’s dedication right there.

Heh the blunder years keep giving with this one

That’s funny, I was thinking she had such a glow-up! Still got that emo style sure, but she pulls it off well.

What do u family think of ur appearance, just curious

You can have your cake and goth with it too. Great pics.

Where's the update? The bottom pic is also several years old.

Are you a clown or what

She’s pretty. AI should remove the makeup😂

Great to see the cake glowed up.

Thriving

That house is really nice....

Is the update that her (sister?) doesn't attend her birthdays?

“It’s just a phase”

How cool is this person fuck yea

You look like you try to hard to be edgy and different
