I love horror media, so much so that I have made a video on the on the philosophy of horror, but Courage the Cowardly Dog will ALWAYS be my favorite. It is unironically the pinnacle of the horror genre. It is visually inventive, the audiosensory experience goes beyond dialogue and music, the villains are disturbing and feel very real, the episode that approach social commentary don't hold back, and even as an adult, I can still think of episodes that terrify me.

has always and will be my favorite cartoon of all time
I definitely recommend a rewatch/first time watch of The Mask. That is the most heartbreaking episode of any cartoon.

so many scary bits but so many wholesome bits. greek goose god falling in love w muriel. funny interactions between courage and the computer. eustace being a jerk but having so much love for muriel.
mine is the green fish that comes out of the bath and tells courage: "There's no such thing as perfect. You're beautiful as you are, Courage. With all your imperfections, you can do anything."

Whether you need inspo, are curious about the discourse over the last few decades, want to get into a new hobby or whatever else, you can download open source magazine issues from decades past. They have magazines from as early as the early 1900s too! I have been obsessed with old video games lately so I have been looking at the old club nintendo magazines and it has been so fun. Like look at some of the covers these magazines used to have

There is something about seeing someone be unconscious about something that they really love. The sincerity of it, the way they forget to be quiet if its in public, the way they gesture with their hands more. Its great 10/10 would recommend being passionate about your interests!

This might be a strange solution but it may help: when you see something thats not a garment that you consider beautiful for whatever reason, photograph it and then use your wardrobe to try and capture that energy.
For example, I go on a lot of nature walks and something that happens a lot on my walks is that I'll see a lot of beautiful colours that I often don't see worn together, blends of textures like where the leaves of a tree meet the sky etc and so I try to capture that. Like that's how I realised that I love the colour combination of orange and grey.
To help I may then look through old magazines and cut out images to make scrapbook pages of inspiration, or if I have the influence of a particular era in mind to express the look I may look at stills of films from that decade (that's another way you can use pinterest that's not so algo heavy).
Then you just try stuff on and see how you feel, what you like about your attempts what you don't like etc. Ultimately imo the easiest way to avoid relying on algorithms for fashion inspiration is to take inspiration from things other than clothes and to practice translating the aesthetic principles into garments.
Do you like that one brutalist style building with hedges of wild flowers near the place you work? How do you express it in an outfit. Do you keep looking at the sheen of an apple before you bite into it? What fabrics might have a similar effect?
And then use the clothes that you have to try things and edit/style your looks until you get to things you like wearing.
