Mid Century Morbid

She/her, 41, Sapphic . This is my personal blog & is a random collection of things I enjoy. A creepy, vintage loving, insect embracing, old sci fi watching, comic book reading mishmash. Gothic tendencies. Fannish things, books, gardens etc. Can be found at : deathinthegarden.tumblr.com I’m the owner of two fabulous cats and a not so fabulous long term illness (posting might be erratic due to this). I try to tag anything that may be triggering but please let me know if there is something you need me to tag. My personal posts are tagged 'Mid has a moment' if you want to blacklist them.

Tumblr: Don’t scroll past this! Don’t ignore this! No one’s talking about this!

I’m an adult who reads three different newspapers. This is Tumblr, where I go to get away from the news. If I don’t want to read something on Tumblr, I don’t have to. If I don’t reblog something, that doesn’t mean I’m ignoring it. I’m not talking about it here because I’m talking about it to people in my real life.

Tumblr is not where I come to get news, and quite frankly, it shouldn’t be.

Carmilla, kissing Laura all over her face: You are mine! You shall be mine! You and I are one forever!

Laura: So like...sisters?

Carmilla: Your obliviousness is exhausting.

Laura: Are you a boy donning a disguise to woo me in secret?

Carmilla: I need a nap.

Just a day in the life of a heartbroken goth and his phonograph and his emotional support asylum patient and his emotional support asylum patient's emotional support flies.
