Al-Hashimi's cry in the car was so fucking relatable to anyone who has a chronic illness that feels like they're being barred from doing what they want because of something that they had no choice or control over.

this might be a controversial statement but one thing i really respect about mexican gothic is that moreno-garcia wasn’t afraid to put noemi’s sexual attraction to virgil on the page. yes it’s a response to the fucked up enchantments of the house, but it’s still there. it’s still one more thing that noemi has to fight against to win out against the forces of colonialism.

because i think that so much of what bills itself as gothic in fiction nowadays forgets about the erotics of danger. the point of the gothic is seduction by darkness, and a darkness that is violent or harmful or dangerous. without the danger and the discomfort of morally ambiguous pairings, it’s just insufficiently lit romance (or like mafia romance or something).

#mexican gothic #yesss #I drew are about them (not as a ship) bcs I loved the dark themes explored within noemis attraction to virgil #I had a whole paragraph explaining that I wasnt cheering this type of relationship but intrigued #its like when you see something disgusting but cant help but look bcs its out of the ordinary and your horrified #seeing noemi struggle with herself and not knowing whats true to her own feelings was crazyyyyy #I was worried for our girl

Sometimes love is finally getting the courage to give flowers to the girl you like, because you found them growing in the meadows and they reminded you of her, wild and beautiful and free
