MY NAME IS TARA WINE-QUEEN AND I AM SO!!! EXCITED TO FINALLY WATCH FRANKENSTEIN

I have ruined the corpses making my patchwork child who I promptly left to his own sad devices Forgive me I'm not really a doctor just another deadbeat dad

“A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid any more.” - John Steinbeck, East of Eden

The past 24 hours feels like the universe is writing fan service to bisexual millennials

Watching the results coming in across the country 🥲:

Realized earlier my stomach felt strange and couldn’t figure it out until I realized it was the absence of anxiety, a euphoric high creeping in to replace it

“And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

Michael Caine said going into Muppet Christmas Carol, “I’m going to play this like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role,” and good ghosts of Christmases various, did it pay off

Oh you don’t usually give grades out for this sort of thing? *vibrates with the excitement of challenge*

The ghosts in A Christmas Carol coming to scare me into changing my behavior would be so effective to me personally, someone who will take any opportunity to turn something into a test and can’t wait to get an A in time travel-based paranormal intervention

They literally ruin everything they touch

Remember, no matter how small the gesture, no matter how little the donation, every tiny bit of light you put out into the world brightens it just a little bit. Shit's pretty dark these days. Much love to every one of you trying to brighten it.

Yikes, unfollowing now. Was a big fan of his promises of a fine vintage, did not realize it was but a clever ruse to lure me down into the catacombs to entomb me alive?? For the love of God, Montresor, who does that

Yikes, unfollowing now. Was a huge fan of his crime, didn’t realize punishment would also be involved

Hey we’re drinking amontillado and getting positively walled off from the horrors of modern existence later if you wanna come through

One thing my thumbs love to do is send an email responding to myself instead of the other person on the chain. They don’t care who they’re replying to, they thrive on the chaos of it all

Washington Irving had that spirit in him naming characters in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Like yes, I DO believe a dude named Ichabod Crane is going to meet a mysterious end in a spooky story featuring the Headless Horseman and a robust rival called Brom Bones Van Brunt

Reading Rainbow… is back! 🥹 This LeVar Burton/Reading Rainbow raised human is feeling all of the library joy. We hope your kids believe they belong in books, just like you ✨ Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋🌌 youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

it’s so important, now more than ever, that we remember: there’s a cowboy with a big knife in Dracula, because Dracula takes place in cowboy times.

Bram Stoker, from Dracula

Frankenstein’s monster to Frankenstein: C’mon, Dad, you don’t even have to hang out with me yourself, just build me a bride to hang with and I pinky promise I won’t commit any more crimes 🙏

when gandalf isn’t with bilbo and the gang i imagine he’s in back to back zoom meetings

Hot girl summer has come and gone, the fall of Númenor is upon us

It’s a full moon out tonight y’all! 🌕🐺

The James Webb Space Telescope captures images of stars being born thousands of lightyears away and even that isn't as far as l'd like to be from some of the people l've encountered in comment sections online

there simply isn't enough coverage of the fact that, as a matter of ideology and public policy, trump and his administration think domestic violence is good

Okay but can we all agree the one undeniable benefit of Hollywood nepo baby existence is the deep satisfaction of seeing one of them play the kid version of their extremely famous parent in a movie and being like OMG YES that is exactly what baby Meryl Streep should look like!!

Are those heights even wuthering, bro?

Sometimes an adaptation is the onscreen version of fruit-flavored fizzy water that’s clearly never encountered said fruit at any point in its life but had the word GRAPE shouted at it over and over again as if doing so could cause it to transform into book-accurate rep of a cluster of juicy red orbs

Embracing my descent into madness this year as the leaves begin to turn. “Attic wife autumn,” I say, setting things on fire. “First wife fall” as I hiss at passersby, becoming more ungovernable each day

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Show about Ringwraith lawyers; call it Law & Mordor

This is what the internet was made for

Unfortunately, Victor Frankenstein is very relatable for obsessing over an ambitious project and the second it’s done being so disgusted with how it turned out he never wants to set eyes on it again

son: mom can we get these replacement parts for the ship of theseus mom: we have replacement parts for the ship of theseus at home (later) mom: see? it’s exactly the same son: no it’s not

The modern English word clue only exists and has its modern meaning because of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur: it derives from the much older clew, a ball of thread or yarn, which Ariadne gave Theseus to navigate the Labyrinth. There is no other source for clue in its modern sense.

If this is you too, we may be kindred spirits

The childhood crushes on Theodore “Laurie” Laurence and Gilbert Blythe to adult obsessions with Fitzwilliam Darcy and Frederick Wentworth pipeline

You don’t understand, that unread stack of books is load-bearing. Not for the shelf or anything, just the idea I have in my head of the person I’d like to be one day when I finally get my shit together

The thread you’re hanging on by being so razor thin that a neighbor looking at you the wrong way could make you want to bury them under the floorboards was a lot less relatable when we read "The Tell-Tale Heart" as kids

"I asked ChatGPT" Why not instead ask me instead over a nice glass of amontillado, I have a cask in my basement if you'll just follow me

banishing you to my mind cask of amontillado

STILL DREAMING OF BEING ABLE TO DO THIS SOMEDAY

Happy birthday, Ray Bradbury, you were the king of dropping six-page stories a kid could read once in 7th grade English class and be haunted by for the rest of their life

Ghosts need to step up their game.

I feel this

listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

In the bookshop this morning: PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.” CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down * CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Ghosts of Christmases various just don’t terrorize the rich into repenting and becoming decent humans like they used to
