brown or green plaid print shirt + tourist destination sweater/shirt + as many optional bonus layers as you want. and just like that you're a young paranormal investigator in the backwoods of your choice.
All i need in life is to look like this

we should be aloud to scream. personally i will relish the day when i can walk about in the early morning fog and hear the shrieks and screeches of someone letting out stress or energy, like I'm chillin in a 2010s horror game.
every time i go out at night theres a monster

Im such a mystery nerd. Saw a post where someone did that comment-bait-y thing where they claimed “there’s no word that starts and ends with o” and everyone was saying stuff like oreo and oregano, and I said ogopogo. Because everybody knows the Native Canadian giant lake monster the Ogopogo.
it's just me and my kitschy ufo shirts against the world
Cryptid fans🤝 will wood fans
Only having blurry ass pictures
Honestly I love the cryptidcore aesthetic but as someone who's always wanted to be a cryptozoologist, I wish the whole thing wasn't just people who wanted to BE cryptids. What if I wanted to be a paranoid researcher in a trench coat who swears they saw aliens?
Especially if you have cryptid friends.. cryptids you will always have a place on my red string corkboard......
i think a lot of cryptidcore fashion certainly fits into that description, but a lot of the textposts/moodboards seem to mostly be "i want to run into the woods and become mothman" — and don't get me wrong, that's a great vibe. but since cryptid academia was based on old school ufo/cryptid journalists from the 50's (and some modern ghost hunters) it might be a better fit for what op is looking for!

A hunting knife, flashlight, .38 special revolver, canvas rucksack filled with supplies, hatchet, brown flannel shirt, pair of worn-out hiking boots, pair of headphones, satchel, leather-bound journal, enough pens and a ticket to somewhere like oregon or colorado would fix me
"im just a girl!
