i will love you if i never see you again and i will love you if i see you every tuesday. [spotify] relevant lyrics below the cut.

01. bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark. 02. nothing’s gonna hurt you, baby. nothing’s gonna take you from my side. 03. cheers, darling. I’ve got your wedding bells in my ear. 04. if we’re gonna die, bury us alive. if you’re searching for us, you’ll find us side by side. 05. when you said ‘so long,’ left me standing there all alone, crying. 06. nobody’s gonna come and save you. we’ve pulled too many false alarms. 07. everything’s weird and we’re always in danger. why would you shatter somebody like me? 08. I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed, we never had a shotgun shot in the dark.  09. I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you. 10. I saw you gave him my old t shirt. more of what once was mine. 11. he’s got his gun, he’s got his suit on, she said, ‘babe, you look so cool.’ 12. when there’s nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire.

rather than death of the author i subscribe to a critical framework i like to refer to as Schrodinger’s Author where the authors intentions are important except for when i dont like them

gilmore girls meme: scenes [1/5] · 24h Dance Marathon 

Kirk has very little in his life. He has no career, no girlfriend, no pet, no car. He lives with his mother, she won’t even let him have his own key. The only thing he does have in his whole lonely pathetic existence is this marathon. If we win, if we take him down, if we take away that last little piece of dignity, then we leave him with nothing. I wonder if he’ll cry.

I like how in olden times dudes used to paint past historical events with the clothing and surroundings of the painter’s current day, like some medieval monk painting Jesus and friends in a tunic and hose. I think we should bring that back. I want to see Caesar crossing the Rubicon in crocs.

Set up for my productive Sunday, I had a crazy realisation that my first assignment of my second year is due in 8 days… I don’t know how this has come around so quickly but nevertheless I need to get cracking! I’ve decided to answer one of the questions on Alice in Wonderland so I’m just doing a wide cast research on everything I could possibly need for my essay. Cleaned my room, showered, got into comfy clothes all whilst listening to the O.W.Ls chapter from Order of the Phoenix audiobook to get me in the mood for studying💪🏻 Also, the stack of books is my organised reading list for the next 2 weeks (and yes that does include the whole of Ulysses, I have an exam on it) - basically this is my own little let’s do this/you are now held accountable post.

today’s Novel I Want To Read But Not Write: wilde-esque comedy of manners about a young aristocrat seeking a hobby to occupy him in his Genteel Leisure that takes an abrupt turn for the eldritch in the second act, except

the narrative style stays exactly the same, and

the protagonist reacts to increasingly appalling and monstrous terrors with precisely the same aplomb as he reacts to various Society Mishaps in the first part of the novel

11.9.2018 | We had our first snow of the year today and unfortunately I am not a huge fan of winter because there is never enough natural light and I’m perpetually freezing BUT I am remaining positive by indulging in all the cozy vibes while I study today! Not pictured are my piping hot cup of coffee, some comfy socks, a big plush blanket, and my favorite birch wood fireplace video playing on Netflix on my television. Definitely planning on embracing the hygge life-style with full force this winter!

writing an essay on time travel and photography and drinking an obscene amount of tea along the way (also first my post in a year! hello to any new followers, i will try and be more consistent and get this blog active, especially during summer)

The gothic romance aesthetic:

a dark billowing coat, the smell of orange blossoms on a summers night, lace trimming on a nightgown, shuttered windows, a rotting wooden bench concealed beneath a willow tree, a hidden staircase lit by candlelight
