gothic lolita machete came to me in a dream

.

#HHWAH #but he unironically kind of makes it work though?? #I never realized that the leap from what he normally wears to gothic lolita would be this small #basically the same thing just a lot more lace and frills and embroidery #loving! the pomegranates! #it always makes me ecstatic when people find a way to include them or his other... symbols? motifs? objects of significance? #it's nice you kept the red gloves and red heels #the little crosses on the capelet and the stockings too hah #and the massive bow where the fascia would go #I support genderfuckery Machete by the way #his design and mannerisms have always been somewhat androgynous or at least that's what I've been trying to aim for #despite his sharp angular form he's supposed to have an aura of elegance and delicateness #at least on his better days when he's not in full rat man mode #given the choice he'd rather be called beautiful than handsome I'm pretty sure #folks have been mistaking him for a goth lesbian a whole lot lately so I can't be too far off #thank you this made me grin like an idiot when I opened the inbox #gift art #aggiepython #own characters #Machete

there exists … an imodna playlist that I’ve been carefully curating since 2022 with genre-consistent, thematically-appropriate songs with hyperspecific lyrics and every time I listen to it I froth at the mouth a little bit. it’s in chronological order. it starts with laudna, then imogen, then their meeting and getting on the road and I know I made it but ahhhh

edit: here's a link. it's a constant wip

#imodna #every time I add a song or edit it I go a little more insane #I’m so picky #this is no hate to anyone but I refuse to put generic love songs on this playlist #by hyperspecific i mean there is a song about a corpse falling in love with the person caring for body her after her death #it’s me and my relatively obscure folk-country-gothic artists or bust #(with a few exceptions) #you can find it if you search imodna on spotify the image is the same as my pfp #edit: apparently you cant find it by searching theres now a link in the replies #its not totally organized yet #one day ill post the whole thing with all my rationale for each song but the first uhh 50ish songs are solidly ordered #loose order is prologue -> laudna -> imogen -> meeting -> on the road -> are they in love? #tagged accidental flowers in hair motif

not enough adaptations out there where frankenstein and his creature are played by the same actor

#stop neglecting the gothic double motif roight naow #adaptations that do this are very sexy though it has to be said

look not to be a Jew about this but actually I do not like this at all and I feel pretty strongly that it is buying into some truly weird shit about Judaism, Yom Kippur, cultural ideas of sin & repentance, and also missing some big things about the inherent and unexamined cultural Christian-ness of this genre of gothic horror to begin with

as Kuzu said: "Heine would be appropriate for the 19th century gothic mood PRECISELY BECAUSE he lived in such an antisemitic artistic context that he converted to LUTHERANISM" lol

tbh it's giving Tracate Middoth vibes which is never a good thing

my view: Literally the ONLY possible way this could work without being an antisemitic film would be if it was about some hapless Jew who somehow wandered into a world where his own religious practices for some reason keep getting transformed into shit that reflects Christian understandings of sin and repentance and he keeps trying to be normal about making amends and reflecting on having wronged people but everything keeps getting warped and twisted into This Bullshit and he's like BRO I AM. I AM LITERALLY JUST TRYING TO DROP MY PEBBLES IN THE RIVER WHY IS EVERYTHING BLEEDING

this would of course be a horror comedy though.

#unrebloggable bc old post + i do not want to start fights but man #the description written here is like oh that. is bad actually and i hate it #thats not. a good idea. #im not saying he cant have really done bad stuff either in fact its funnier if he has #and is trying to reflect #and keeps getting impeded by LOUD GOTHIC CHRISTIANITY MOTIFS #btw if u reboogged this pls dont feel bad i am simply sharing my thoughts #and multiple ppl who i follow did and thats ok YOU'RE GOOD DONT WORRY

mors certa, hora incerta! gankutsuou + the count & albert: a death and the maiden collection - adolf hering // edvard munch // león jean pétua // hans sebald beham

#gankutsuou #gankutsuou: the count of monte cristo #the promo art isn't just for marketability reasons it's meant to allude to this motif which permeates the whole show #it took me a while to realize that the first image (which is shown in the opening) is making a reference to the abduction of persephone #obsessed with albert as a persephone (and eurydice) figure tbh... i have so many thoughts #bringing my point again that albert is a gothic heroine and the count is the haunted house - i'm 100% serious btw #albert de morcerf #the count

gothic romance au where Luke is the mysterious and haunted love interest with a Dark Past™️ and Din as the world weary traveler who gets swept up in Luke’s supernaturalness

#does this even make sense??? lol #i just think their dynamic really fits the gothic romance genre #The Storm by shirozora is kinda this but not quite gothic enough #Maleficus by CTRL_D and EmilianaDarling i’d consider gothic romance but not exactly this dynamic #also both have storm motifs whatttt?!?!? #combine this with a Sith!Luke au and u have your byronic hero #but i think it’s funnier if din is just really unsettled by luke doing normal jedi things #star wars #dinluke #otp

its hard being so obsessed with random obscure things. not like weird bands or mangas or something i mean genuinely just unpopular irrelevant shit. because no ones out here making fanart for the zuiyo-maru carcass. if youve ever seen a drawing/painting/poem/collage of the zuiyo-maru carcass theres an 85% chance that was me.

#****** sent me a drawing of it once actually..i really love it i have it stuck to my desk #those posts like 'you cant all relate to cannibalism dead deers dog motif southern gothic car crashes cooking as love motif' yeah yr right #i fucking dont .i just dont talk about most of what i relate to because no one fuuuckking cares
