22:12:21 // it was a biting cold on my way to the caffè. that relentless cold that nimbly slips through your jacket and chills you to the bone no matter how many layers you have. after returning home I made some cookies and all was well again.

Facts about Mary Shelley, goth queen

just saw a post about mary shelley losing her virginity on her mom’s grave and it confronted me with the fact that i know So Much about this woman so:

-yes it is true that she had sex on her mom’s grave. she also spent a lot of time there growing up. she used to read in the graveyard, often her mother’s work, as a way of remembering her. she and her mom were feminists of their time. wow what a quirky introvert, just chilling with a good book and some ghosts

-she was kind of a homewrecker. when she met her soon to be husband percy shelley, he already had a (very much pregnant) wife

-this wife died of mysterious circumstances. they found her in a river. spooky af

-she wrote frankenstein (or at least came up with the idea) at 18 i believe as part of a ghost story competition with a bunch of other writers at lord byron’s house, which she won

-she is rumored to have kept percy’s calcified heart on her person at all times after he died. although this is just speculation, since it cannot be proved that she did not do this, i choose to believe it

in conclusion, she’s a spooky bitch and an icon

Ivan Karamazov as an aesthetic

All photos from Pinterest, none of them are mine. I really wanted to better represent him being mentally ill, I don’t like it being glossed over.

All is Vanity by Charles Allan Gilbert (American illustrator), 1892

[lord-des-fleurs]

Есть люди как зимы — прекрасно-опасны: Застывшее сердце, холодные взгляды. Их души как льдины чисты и бесстрастны, И их безразличье смертельнее яда.

В их взглядах мерцают небесные стразы, Чело озаряет корона величия. Есть люди как зимы — любовь их опасна. Возможно, опаснее их безразличья.

— Анастасия Щепкина.
