"... to be behind a wall, watching everyone fit in where I can't, to talk behind a gray foggy wall, to live but to not reach or to reach wrong... to do it all wrong..."

Adaptations focus on Carmilla as just an Evil Seductress so much that they neglect that she has abilities that rival Dracula's and has ones that he doesn't.

She can shapeshift into a terrifying giant cat, into a black wraith. After biting she can join the dreams of the one she bit, she can manifest into an apparition like a psychic vampire, slip through cracks and locks. Physically, her one bite will normally kill within days (which seems to be part of her vampirism). Weapons shatter before her; she's indestructible at night. Even at day, she has super strength and can toss a grown man away like a mosquito, despite her languidness she'll dodge and block blows from trained army men, can disappear from sight without a trace, and her grip can numb one's limbs permanently.

She has no weather control like Dracula, which is a unique trait from having sold his soul to Satan with top grades. But she has nothing to envy about him. And she's only 150ish, and not a trained wizard and a vampire out of desire to become a powerful undead warlord, but was forced to become one.

it makes me so mad that "confessions of a human shield" by emily nussbaum doesn't exist anywhere outside of the physical essay collection it's a part of because it's so fucking good & i think it deserves to be a foundational text in how we approach good art made by shitty people, and especially good art about women made by misogynists. like in the wake of the neil gaiman variety piece i wish everyone was able to read it because truly no one gets it like her

groundbreaking text on media analysis in a MeToo world that you can only read by buying a book that is mostly about buffy the vampire slayer

“I mean, what is this life of ours supposed to be for? Are we to spend it identifying each other with catalogues, like tourists in an art gallery? Or are we to try to exchange some kind of a signal, however garbled, before it’s too late? You answer me that!”

“For other people, I can't speak - but, personally, I haven't gotten wise on anything. Certainly, I've been through this and that; and when it happens again, I say to myself, Here it is again. But that doesn't seem to help me. In my opinion, I, personally, have gotten steadily sillier and sillier - and that's a fact.”

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions
