She exists as in dreams. She has no sense of reality. She gets nervous because people are always interrupting her daydreams.

Clarice Lispector, The Egg and the Chicken

i love you gothic literature. i love you gothic romance. i love you vampires and blood. i love you ghosts and phantoms. i love you unsettling themes. i love you fangs in the neck. i love you religious imagery. i love you manors and crypts. i love you cemeteries and haunts. i love you doomed narratives. i love you rot and decay. i love you centuries-long yearning. i love you all consuming love. i love you hunger as desire. i love you monstrous intimacy. i love you cynicism of the human experience. i love you monsters unaware of their horrors until confronted with them.

دُنيا مِنَ الأوجاعِ أوجعُ ما بها

فقدُ الأحبَّةِ وانتظارُ الغائبِ..

The dunya(world) is from the most painful of aches, it consists of the loss of loved ones and the awaiting of the absentee..

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

[valtsv]

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

[valtsv]

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend
