After Tillie found Lyss’s old photo tucked inside her manga, she ended up digging through our closet to find the box she’s kept since high school. A little rummaging later, she pulled out her old Canon PowerShot, and on it was Alyssa, being her full silly self at Hot Topic back in 2009.

z0mg…the New Moon sign in the back. The Theory poster under her leg. Absolute time capsule.

YOU might have conformed, but for Lyss...it was never just a phase. Still a Scene Queen at heart, still the same energy we’ve always loved.

So, finally...introducing Alyssa “Lyss” Hettick the Greater Spear-nosed Bat, and one of our closest family friends. 🖤🦇
