Hi I'm a ghost, an Ojibwe ghost as a matter fact and I decided this is my horror and alternative/goth blog now.

Basic about me:

• taken

• two spirit

• 30+

• eldritch

What to expect:

• something disturbing

• Gothic horror movies and books but there will be other types of horror posted too

• Gothic fashion/styles/aesthetics

• spooky art

• halloween

• music sometimes probably

That said, horror is a genre that confronts our humanity using our rejection of the abnormal, the erotic, and the rejected in contrast to our acceptance of cruelty, ignorance, and objectification to maintain our own sanity.

So interact at your own risk, there will be heavy themes here.

Current favs:

• The Only Good Indians 🦌

• The Summer Hikaru Died 🍉

• Sinners 🔥

• Frankenstein (2025) 🧌

• The Haunting of Bly Manor 🏚️

Classics:

• Edogawa Ranpo 🪑

• The Shape of Water 💧

• Eraserhead 🪱

• Edgar Allan Poe 🫀

To watch/read:

• Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

• The Orphanage (2007)

• Shutter by Ramona Emerson

• The Place of Broken Things by Linda D. Addison

i yearn to be the type of person vampires keep to bite

[vamplire]

i love you gothic literature. i love you doomed romance. i love you ghosts and decay. i love you vampires and blood. i love you manors and crypts. i love you cemeteries and haunts. i love you unsettling themes. i love you cynicism of the human experience. i love you monsters unaware of their horrors until confronted with them.

[amalgamezz]

since the concept of "romance as horror" keeps getting misinterpreted, id like to propose a much clearer alternative: romance as an instrument of torture

It sucks that I am so sci-fi averse. I just simply love the idea of a creature that only gain sentience through being observed and become nothing once you stop staring at it. It is like the wood grains that make strange shapes the longer you stare at it.

[hagiomoto]

In Western horror (moving away from sci-fi, forgive me), there’s often a pattern where once the protagonist confronts and names the horror plaguing them, they begin to gain power over it. In Eastern horror, though, there’s a recurring tendency for the opposite...acknowledging the fear can give it shape and make it stronger. It’s not a hard rule in either case, but I find that contrast really compelling, and I prefer the latter most of the time.

[hagiomoto]

Works where acknowledgment of the horror or fear makes it worse rather than solving the problems at hand or what people called "memetic horrors":

Movies:

Noroi

The Wailing

The Ring

Fiction:

Dark Water by Soji Suzuki

Uzumaki by Junji Ito

Negative Space by BR Yeager

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers (oldest work on the list. Influenced Lovecraft)

Sci-fi short stories are so efficient; they take 15 minutes to read and then you think about them for the next 5 years

Hi, I'm sharing another post about my gf :)

FFS stands for facial feminization surgery

Hi! I'm Lilith's partner, a disabled two spirit named Aiy, and I'm trying to spread her campaign around~💖

Her first FFS surgery will be in February. It took us about 5 months to raise funds for her BA and I'm hoping if I post about her FFS now (November) then we'll meet her goal by then.

Donate to Help Lilith Complete Her Journey, organized by Lilith Skye

Heya, I'm Lilith. I'm a trans woman who's trying to complete her journey with some final … Lilith Skye needs your support for Help Lilith Co

The goal may change once she has her first pre-op appointment and we have a better idea of costs.

That said, the donations will help cover:

appointment costs: pre-op & post-op

travel (her surgeon is 4+ hours away)

surgery co pays

anesthesia

prescriptions

post op necessities & any other costs for recovery

cover some of her pay while she recovers so we don't fall behind on bills while she misses work

[buffalo-tracks]

It's February now and:

we haven't met her goal

She's in recovery and she'll need help affording expenses like groceries since she's had to take time off work.

She has another round of FFS is in July so we still desperately need to reach her goal by then

It's been about over a week since her last donation.

[buffalo-tracks]

$600 to go!!

[buffalo-tracks]

$330 left!!
