You got me thinking about the possum/opossum thing. So I looked it up, "possum" is used for some marsupials in Aussie land as well as short for "opossum" who are the largest order of marsupials in the Western Hemisphere. Our familiar adorable friend here:

>The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), also known as the North American opossum, is the only opossum living north of Mexico, its range extending south into Central America. It is the northernmost marsupial in the world. In the United States and Canada, it is typically called a possum, 'possum or opossum. It is a solitary nocturnal animal about the size of a domestic cat, and a successful opportunist.

Shit new Year already learned some new shit hell yeah. Possums kick ass. They're like a rodent with cat level smarts. A pawsum.

Edit: Dibs on band name Didelphis Virginiana, back off

The silence is deafening, as we scream and scream But no one hears our cries for help We're lost in a sea of horror and despair As the darkness consumes us whole

But hope is never truly lost For as long as we have each other We can face the horrors together And scream until the break of dawn

Is there a name for this aesthetic?

If not, I suggest 'possumcore'.

Edit: there's a Facebook meme page with 320k likes called "possumcore" that has pics in the style of this one. So I guess I'm not as original as I thought... in any event, Happy New Year, everyone!
