“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
- Who else loves to go to bookstores just to look at the books?

Note :
You'll find a poll about earlier gothic works, another about 19th-ish century ones, one about 20th-ish century ones, one about Dickinson's poetry and one about Poe's works in my 'gothic lit' tag on this post. There's also a cat versus raven poll in my 'edgar allan poe' tag.

I kind of want to just restart emrys so I can play her again more perfectly this time... kill even MORE fiends and such. but also I speedran grymforge a bit & the thing is that. emrys rolls up to moonrise towers already have a deep-seated and intense paladin-specific beef with ketheric. babygirl heard that he was 1. an evil paladin 2. broke his paladin vow to TWO gods prior 3. was like That and decided Actually, I'm going to project All of my own personal issues and insecurities onto you. And then I'm going to kill you. and then she still offered to spare him. so I need the buildup to that from grymforge. you see.
#you understand.#one thing that emrys will do is have extremeeeely specific problems in regards to needing to be the Best Paladin In The Room#<- she is abnormal. she has a lot of problems.#Ketheric is such a ... dark twisted mirror / I can see myself in you / I do not /want/ to see myself in you.#of course she resents his crimes but more than that she resents what she Sees in him that she feels is also in her self#there's something ugly in you thats also in me etc etc#so. this beef NEEDS BUILDUP.#(alternatively: she latched onto Dame Aylin almost immediately as a figure of holy righteousness and divinity that she craves for herself)#(if Ketheric is close to what she COULD be at her worst; Dame Aylin is suuch a. Being You Could Fix Me. moment for her)#(also objectively not normal but very funny. ah yes I know what will make me a better object and sword for Tyr. if I was nothing but a#channel for divine righteousness greater than myself. not even a person just a violent weapon made to STRIKE.)#(and she can never be so close to the divine + never be such a weapon but she sure does TRY.)#(OF WHICH dame aylin is not either; but she IS a blinding light in the dark & Ough. the complexes that inspires.)#Anyways.... the NPCs we latch onto as the narrative parallel / reference for our Tav PC huh. Yeah!#act 2 is just... it gave me SOOOO much for her. Shadowheart/Ketheric/Aylin in different measures for different reasons#Orin. she's weird about but for different reasons. In that orin's fanaticism and madness kind of#tickles a part of her that wants. very desperately. to smite down the most obvious of evils in 1v1 combat#which is a violence that once again! comes uncomfortably close to the fanaticism of Ketheric + Orin + their own propensity for god-driven#violence & horror. as it is and such.

Turns out that looking up crime stats in the neighbourhood you just moved to is a surefire way to paranoia

character saying a very well executed, but classic angered lover trope: nice
same character, but they're a lesbian: *foaming at the mouth* *collapses on the floor* *incoherent screams*

Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone just stopped watching Disney remakes? They make a $300 million live action Lilo and Stitch and the theaters bring in like three people each. They cast the most famous celebrities they can think of and use every gimmick in the book but no one bites.
Well, a girl can fantasize.

I love how the Czech women look like jojo characters if Araki would’ve done a Jovan Joestar in Eastern Europe

the meeting place cannot be changed (1975, odessa film studio)
i love manka and would absolutely let her use sex to evade prosecution if i was a soviet police officer...this is why i'm a private investigator and not a police detective...

Okay so I've missed a few days and now everyone has a new penpal Jonathan?
Which is not good, because now I want to get emails too but I have like a million of books to read for my classes and I dont have time for Dracula darling.
Can we maybe have like a Hunchback Daily? Or a Raskolnikov Daily? It would make my day so much better than silly little me sitting down with my silly little books that would kill me if they fell on me.
