Me after submitting my capstone proposal that I worked six months on

In the mood to travel to the Balkans and learn Russian Maybe a trip once I graduate? :’)

The amount of work I’ve put into my capstone project is insane. I’ll either be getting a very good grade, or a very bad grade. I never can tell. ;’(

I don’t know if this makes sense, but lately I have been looking into men’s styling and I feel like the aims of men’s fashion and woman’s fashion for the most part are so different. Like one is to look put together, and the other is to look non-threatening and ‘cute’…

I love old fandoms because I found out my mom read the first three books in the Vampire Chronicles when she was in her 30s, and also that her fave is Lestat. #YAY

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

I think that no matter how alienated one feels, the only sensible thing to do is to embrace one’s strangeness and that is essentially why I love #iwtv (and other gothic stories like it)

The energy I’m bringing into tomorrow (technically, this morning) as I prepare for an early workday on zero sleep

Not 100% sure yet if I’ll be going, but I’m already wondering about outfits… 🤔

Is anyone thinking about going to Dark Shadows’ 60th anniversary celebration, in Los Angeles, this summer? Kathryn Leigh Scott posted about it on FB. I might be able to attend. 🤞

Barnes & Noble hardcover edition arrived. Excited to read it! :)

Left some stuff at work, came to pick it up, accidentally triggered the alarm because I thought they were open (they weren’t). Why does this feel like the sort of thing that uniquely only happens to me 😐

I should never have let my tumblr mutuals talk me into watching iwtv, I could never be normal about it given my past interests… watch this be the only thing I post about on tumblr until 2027

Dark Shadows gang I’m going to be real. Lestat > Barnabas for me and it’s not even remotely close

I suppose the conversation I just had with that person about ACGR is evidence of why I love the gothic genre so much. People are allowed to be fucked up, and there is freedom in that. It more accurately reflects real-life experiences, as well, in my opinion.

The way I’m still talking about that manga seven years later. 🤣 It’s not all depressing. It’s a masterpiece of literature!

Someone was having a nuanced discussion about Ian on tumblr. Given how rare that is, I had to provide thoughts… (It’s 3am, but worth it to discuss my favorite manga I guess!)

I’ve been procrastinating on an assignment the past few days by browsing IWTV fandom nonstop… ;_; Time to get things done

Madeleine sun, Armand moon, Gabrielle rising I haven’t finished the books/show so my thoughts may change…

It’s like that sometimes

I think it’s too late and I’m turning into an Armand stan

Ok I’m just getting into iwtv so I know I’m behind the times… but Armand/Daniel being a canon pairing is… ‼️ PEAK writing. I fucking love it Ahh yes the immortal sexually abused, traumatized vampire falls for the older adult mortal man… and he’s a hippie/boomer. Dark Shadows type writing

The truth is that if you view the world from a purely materialistic point of view, it’s natural that most women dislike or even hate men. Just look at the news cycle, or at statistics… the evidence (in our world) is overwhelming. But I’m moving further, and further, away from materialism…

Every time I think to post anything about my experiences with magic/spirits/guidance, I think to myself: “This would sound crazy, I can’t post about it…” anyway, I’m breaking that mold today. (This is tangentially related to my last post)

The fact that those files are actually hurting him… for once, thank fuck

I’m anti-grad school as a grad school student. I’m so serious rn

i like seeing how polar bears keep their cubs warm

Watching Interview with the Vampire shocked me, I was not familiar with Tom Cruise’s game

I want something sexy and easy to take care of, is that so much to ask… With curly hair, yes.

I like short hair, but I feel like I can’t get it to work unless it is styled well (Middle photo)

I am vicariously living through this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZew...

Good to see the Isleys getting some attention. They've been performing (various combinations of the brothers, but always with Ronald on lead) for more than *seventy years* and are still great.

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway. To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

Going to have the afternoon free after work for the first time in… a while. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet…

Thinking about a twt post that I saw that was like “why aren’t there more portrayals of CSA victims that are off-putting/mean/not nice” me as a 14 y/o Also Jeremy from ACGR is a great example

Made a TikTok to watch josei manga edits. Just posted my first edit years later about Moonlight Flowers, and someone has already bookmarked it. #circleoflife moment 🥹

Not me seeing art of a manga series out of context, and thinking “That looks good. I need to read that…” and it’s Chainsaw Man. Not something I would have remotely sought out by myself ngl. 🤔

Just caved and bought the Shogakukan (2002) art book. I’m not usually one to buy much merchandise, but after being a fan of this series for *so long* I decided it was well worth the price. Photos not mine.

Doodling at 3am, to figure out how Hagio Moto does her faces… it’s fun

My friend reading ACGR has got me rereading parts of it with them... help. I’m still obsessed with this manga seven years later!

I was just agreeing with a friend about how amazing an #ACruelGodReigns anime would be. Especially to build on the latter half of the series. But as much as I’d love to see that, I also can’t imagine it being done. ACGR simply isn’t as marketable as some of Hagio Moto’s other works, like Poe Clan…

Reading Moonlight Flowers (1989)

I have a day off. I am officially accepting yuri manga recommendations. What are everyone’s favorites? 😌
