My Gothic Romance

A sideblog for all of my gothic favorites, and I will sometimes post some of my favorite tropes or faces for a gothic romance.

I was in the middle before I knew I began. But a proud fool I was. I have faced the harsh truth: that I can never hope to win your love in this life. And so I sought solace in combat.

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.

The Gothic heroine is sometimes a figure of tragedy, yes, because she is often a victim of circumstance, but she is also a core pillar of storytelling. It is through her struggles that we try to understand our own agency in a broken world or our culpability in creating those circumstances in a society in which tragedy seems to be the only available outcome.
