shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

Gothic literature must be cursed to forever be misinterpreted by mainstream public because how did this happen

Dracula book: an evil count who only sees the world as a resource to be drained for his own pleasure is stopped by the group of people who deeply care for each other

Dracula in media: a tragic romantic hero, main love interest of one of the protagonists who must be liberated from her dull little life

Frankenstein book: any human has capacity for evil when completely abandoned and shunned by the world and the people who brought him into it

Frankenstein in media: don't play God because it's against nature's laws

Jekyll and Hyde book: repression and only caring about external appearances can cause your worst impulses to indulge themselves in dangerous ways if ignored for too long

Jekyll and Hyde in media: what if there was two of the same guy but one of them was evil and gross?

I forgot how intimate reading truly is. And I’m talking phone face down, desk light on reading mode, digesting the page line by line because every line holds intention. Every word was inserted after a long, indefatigable deliberation as to whether it fit (or didn’t!), as to whether it added to the text. I love it when a line builds on the line preceding it seamlessly even when it seems like a non sequitur. I love it when two topics are juxtaposed in an unseemly way but are actually entirely related. I love it when the author expands on a topic in a concise way that at first appears terse but actually says all it needs to say. I think that’s what’s beautiful about a book like it’s all been written down for a purpose even if it seems like a book meanders. Or maybe it intentionally meanders but even then there is a message underlying that. Literally a whole conversation to be had

I want whatever this academia is, and my life would be much more peaceful.

October. fine rain. ink-stained fingertips and beat-up journals. fig jam. reading on long train journeys. lace knit scarves. oat milk macchiato and pain au chocolat. reaching for warm-opulent scents for the first time in months. caramel and rustling leaves. a sore throat. the scent of childhood memories in the air, the wind of change — getting lost in new museums.

'Autumn is my season, dear. It is, after all, the season of the soul.'

— Virgina Woolf, from a letter to Violet Dickinson written c. July 1907 (via fawnletters)
