♱Passion's End♱

18 Welcome to my blog :3 I'm a sort-of-okay music and literature critic and sociologist in-training with an interest in all things old and gothic. Also early internet culture and such :P

Hey there. It's time for a new intro post it seems... (worry not, my old intro is still a vibe)

Hi, you can call me Fran. I'm 18.

At heart, I'm just a hopeless romantic with a penchant for gothic and victorian romanticism and a strange tendency to apply the sublime to just about everything, or spend eternity saying "nothing matters!" with a big smile on my face (Thanks Albert Camus for absurdism), because we need to fight the cynicism somehow. Which is why this blog is full of nonsense sometimes and it's not very organised.

♱Things I enjoy: Literature and literary analysis, poetry, music, alternative music, art, history, social science, fencing, debate, gothic aesthetics, the soulsborne games, vampire fiction, 2010s nostalgia, the old internet, long et cetera (I just like a lot of things)

♱Favourite bands: Pierce the Veil, Armor for Sleep, Bring Me The Horizon, Loathe, Theatre of Tragedy, Dayseeker, Sleep Token, Paradise Lost, Megosh, Thousand Foot Krutch, Dance Gavin Dance, Spiritbox, Thornhill, Sweet Pill, My Chemical Romance, Radiohead, Weezer (Yeah, I know), Sleeping With Sirens, Paramore, SycAmour, Lovehatehero, SLAVES, Emarosa, Rain City Drive, Hawthorne Heights, the list pretty much goes on, but you get the gist. My favourite genres are Post Hardcore, Prog Metal and Shoegaze.

Goes without saying that if you're a dick you're getting blocked. You're welcome to disagree with my takes as long as you're not being deliberately judgemental or inflammatory.

If you for whatever reason think incest/pedophilia is okay I am also going to block you. This space isn't for you.

And so, I return to my slumber...

The fundamental issue we face as a nation right now isn’t the size of the government or how “efficient” it is — but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

[unfuckablebogtroll]

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

Bobby: girls I have something important I gotta tell you. Rumi: us too but you can go first. Bobby: ok… Bobby: well… Bobby: I beat The Onceler in the 2026 tumblr sexyman poll. *huntr/x looks at him in shock while in the middle of revealing they’re wearing “WE HUNT DEMONS” shirts* Zoey: LETS GOOOOO BOBBY I VOTED FOR YOU!

Imagine it’s this meme ok, I can’t draw lol

no bro im allergic 💔 this is what my GP gave me to pretend I didn't have arthritis

[asharkapologist]

Why is it such popular fanon that Mira is a casual man-hater, when the only men she doesn’t like are murderous demons, her controlling and potentially abusive father, and a scammy, shady doctor getting in her face? (And heck, she’d save Healer Han from demons no questions asked if she had to.)

Like, she fucking loves her male fans! She thinks them and their dedication is awesome! She clearly approves of that one dude getting a tattoo on his stomach, even though Rumi and Zoey seemed weirded/creeped out by it. And obviously, she loves Bobby.

And this isn’t coming from a “why won’t anyone think of the poor MEN!” side or anything. Nor is it trying to push a shipping agenda or anything. It’s coming from a “why is this fanon so popular when canon directly contradicts it” side.
