A friend of mine back in the wild west days of Old Livejournal once proclaimed she was so Goth she was born Black and I have been flagrantly stealing that line for the 20 years since.

Also no love for Kenzi from Lost Girl? Someone here used to use her as her default userpic.

I don't really have time to write the whole dissertation right now but I'd definitely argue that Hex from Reboot should count as a gothic character.

Aside from goths handing out roses outside the train station when I was younger, I always think of the line in Shallow Grave when Ewan McGregor asks a prospective goth housemate: When you wake up in the morning, how do you decide what colour of black to wear?

Gets me every time.

Watching now and i hate how Joan brought up Charles L’s loss to show how Guy won her over. Just gross.
