You come home late, lipstick smeared, edges fuzzy. Dizzy, delirious, you fall into the bed and lie there spinning, the night singing around you. It's cold outside, the window open to let the dawn bleed in. Your heart beats like distant thunder, there and gone, the throbbing of your veins an ebbing tide. Your funeral dress spreads across our cold bed, a lace shroud stained with gravedirt.

EX(SANGUINATE) is a short story following a woman struggling to survive in the wake of her partner's death. Written for the Queer Vampire Jam 2024.

if you're not obsessed with a fucked up female character i hope that changes for you soon. becoming obsessed with a genuinely deranged fictional woman will change your life.

Anastasia 1997 is such a funny movie in that it's opening sequence is like, "the Romanovs died because rasputin put a curse on them AND NO OTHER REASON DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHY THE ROMANOVS ARE DEAD OKAY IT WAS RASPUTIN"

[akajustmerry]

opening song of this movie literally a bunch of workers singing about how idle gossip is the only thing that gets them through this NASTY TERRIBLE REVOLUTION. what did they have a revolution about?? movie says don't worry about it!! look Anastasia wants to find her family don't you want her to find her family????

Ask a historian, “What was mankind’s greatest invention?” Fire? The wheel? The sword? I would argue it’s history itself. History isn’t fact. It’s narrative, one carefully curated and shaped. Under the pen strokes of the right scribe, a villain becomes a hero, a lie becomes the truth.

[Text: “Hi everyone. Maybe it’s the first time for me to share a kind of fundraising. This is for my old friend Sanaa and her six sisters plus [her] mother and father. They were lived in Al Magahzi refugee camp and they evacuated in a very dangerous situation. They now have no place to go to. So please help her with what you can so she can evacuate Gaza safely.” Following is a screenshot of a gofundme page titled “Save Sanaa and her family” organised by Eyad M.

The ICJ acknowledging that what is happening to the Palestinian people is genocide is a step, but is nowhere NEAR enough without the call for ceasefire. Not to mention that what we are fighting for it not only a permanent ceasefire, but a FREE PALESTINE with removal of Israeli occupation. At the very least, the ICJ blocked Israel’s request to throw out this case and acknowledge the genocide.

Continue to be outspoken and to share resources that help the Palestinian people. Silence is complicity so please use your platforms to raise awareness! My pinned post has some Palestinian journalists, a book that talks about the history of Palestine, and some ways you can donate. But don’t rely on one tumblr post, seek this stuff out yourself too.

[finalgirlabigailhobbs]

It's not enough, in the end. You manage to get the barrel up, finger on the trigger - and something screams in your arm, the impact shuddering through your body. The sound of the shot follows a moment later, a roaring in your ears loud enough to make your head spin. There's a spray of red in your vision, and your whole body goes light, limp, breathless.

Why do you wear glasses and not contacts?

The idea of touching my eyes freaks me out

General convenience of being able to put on/take off glasses whenever I want

I prefer how I look with glasses

I don't like how contacts feel

My eyes react badly to contacts

My vision can't be corrected with contacts

Another reason

Multiple reasons

I wear contacts

I don't wear any corrective lenses

the thing is, stephen king is generally pretty good at creating complex, well-rounded characters, which makes it all the more jarring when one of those characters abruptly comes out with what i'll term a "kingism". i don't know how best to define a kingism other than "you'll know it when you see it". it's the voice of the author intruding on the voice of the character, and in this case the voice of the author has a bad sense of humour and is ravenously, inexplicably horny

[beaft]

random example of a kingism aka "he would not fucking say that"

[beaft]

this too is a kingism

[beaft]

one of the hallmarks of a kingism is that when a character is being Horny On Main (or In Maine), they can never do it in a normal way. they have to come up with a sequence of words that nobody has ever said before in the history of the english language. here's another example:

we should talk more about cities that are vampires. cities that are cold and wet and sink into your bones and stay there. cities that are hungry and want to live. dead cities that dont know they're dead and suck the life force of their people to maintain the delusion. cities with harbors that are actually mouths; one-way entries. cities that are devastatingly lonely and see consumption as love
