The Baudelaire family returned to Ireland the next day, only this time, they never had to worry about leaving.

Their new home had been abandoned years prior to them purchasing it and had been left vacant for quite some time after the previous family had fled those lands that had once been filled with such rich history. Overtime, the stories had been forgotten, perhaps almost purposely by those that occupied the neighborhood nowadays, existing only as children's fables or as myth.

One thing they did know though was that the land used to be a vegetable farm, quite a successful one too, and Lawrence intended to make it profitable once more. Already, the farm boys were put to work planting rows of cabbage, carrots and most notably, potatoes.

Hours of labor had gone into restoring the house to what it had once been before the family arrived and at last, it was returned to its original state of elegance. The perfectly laid brick was covered by thick ivy, and the grounds were surrounded by beautifully vibrant flowers, lush green plants, and tall, brilliant marble statues.

It all seemed like something out of a storybook rather than real life.

The travel horses pushed forward through the gates, and all any of them could do was gawk, unable to believe they were truly going to live here. Even the children, fussy and tired from such long travels, sensed the exhilaration from the adults and had begun to perk up with curiosity.

Ozzy, who rode with Beth in her carriage, stared up at the house in wonder, as though his little mind was trying to comprehend such a big change. "This is our new home, my little dove. We're going to live here now!" Beth whispered to the seemingly awestruck toddler next to her.

"Wooooow!" He exclaimed almost breathlessly, and though it was unclear if he actually understood what it all truly meant, Beth laughed in response, happily agreeing that 'wooow' was right.

Most of their belongings arrived before The Baudelaires, already unpacked and put away thanks to a moving crew hired on by Lawrence. In addition, he had also taken it upon himself to hire various help, like maids, gardeners, cooks, and even a personal chef, and as Lawrence stepped out of the carriage and onto the stone pavement, he could see one of their footmen waiting patiently to greet them at the door.

"Well, hello there, Baudelaires!" He called out from the porch enthusiastically.

Lawrence waved a quick hello before holding out his arms to take Atticus. "That's Mr. O'Bannon. He worked for the family that lived here previously." He explained once Winifred had situated herself.

They joined Beth and Ozzy next, and walked hurriedly up the front steps while Mr. O'Bannon welcomed them home.

Winifred audibly gasped as she entered inside, her eyes growing wide in amazement at everything around her, and once everyone had stepped through the front door, they understood her reaction at once.

After they had filed in one by one, Mr. O'Bannon offered a tour of the house and they happily accepted. He informed them of the origins of their new furniture, boasting about the craftsmanship of the Irish workers and the prestigious color schemes of the wallpapering, most notably, the newly popular Scheels green in the parlor and the dining room.

The new decor was so complimentary of the things they had brought from home, they were almost unrecognizable sitting amongst such fine things, almost as if they were new items themselves.

They had only made it through the first two floors before Atticus started falling asleep in his mother's arms, while Ozzy began to grow rather antsy. Winifred excused herself to rock with Atticus for a while and Beth, wanting to avoid a tantrum, decided to take Ozzy outside to get a better look at the water fountain out front. Which left Lawrence to finish off the tour with Mr. O'Bannon.

However, Mr. O'Bannon dismissed himself as well, needing to check how the luncheon was coming along and confirm the table was being set correctly. Lawrence didn't mind all that much, if anything, he was relieved to see how serious his staff seemed to take their jobs.

And so, just like that, everyone was off in different directions, making themselves right at home.

Lawrence, who now found himself alone, fancied himself a celebratory smoke out on the balcony. There, he smoked cigarette after cigarette while he watched over the farm hands below, reflecting how just months prior, he would have been down there in the dirt just like them. But, tilling soil and yanking weeds were a thing of the past, and someday soon, nothing but a distant memory.

Now, all there was left to do was assimilate to this new way of life.

Ok, so I'm not typically a 19th-century poets girl, but I tutored a wonderful kid who was a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan, and I don't think it's possible not to like Oscar Wilde, so here we go. I think based on the categories here, I'm probably a George Eliot, but nothing is a perfect fit. Sound off in the tags where y'all fall on this one!

Title: Supernatural Horror in Literature

Author: H.P. Lovecraft

Translator: Gabriela Ellena Castellotti

Number of Pages: 167

Rating: ★★★★☆

First published: 1927

Read: 22 - 30 December 2022

Thoughts:

Well, I had this book in my tbr list for the longest time and after two attempts I finally got around to read it.

Looking at the title, it makes me think that my professors at university would have never let me get away with a title like that. "Supernatural Horror in Literature" is a really broad subject and Lovecraft, not surprisinly, only mentions European (German, English and French) and United States authors. So his views are rather limited. In my opinion, he should had mention the countries and the time periods that he was going to refer to.

The requisite to be listed and comented favorably by Lovecraft is simply his subjective taste. I didn't find further arguments other that what he liked and what he didn't.

While I didn't expect Lovecraft to mention many women writers, I was still unsatisfied that he only recognized the talents of a handful, such as: Anna Laetitia Barbauld and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman.

In fact, the essay didn't contain much about gothic horror history that I didn't already know, thanks to courses I've taken and books I've read on the subject. However, I think it's a good place to start for someone just beginning with this kind of literature.

Ok so I know that one of the things that we mock about My Immortal is the unnecessarily detailed descriptions of Ebony Dark’ness’s outfits and personal items, usually all containing some type of pop culture reference (the boots with pictures of Billie Joe Armstrong on them always get me).

However. It’s not like this isn’t a well-established literary practice, particularly amongst the decadents. I mean, Huysman’s Against Nature is literally just a catalogue of all the cool stuff Des Esseintes owns described with agonizing meticulousness, including a number of custom bound works of fiction that probably only exist in the realm of the author’s wishful imagination. (Much like the boots with the pictures of Billie Joe Armstrong on them). 

In other words I think that Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde would have lost their shit over My Immortal.

"Dagboek van een oude dwaas" van Junichiro Tanizaki

Deze keer ben ik met mijn gat in de boter gevallen wat mijn “willekeurige woordenzoeker” betreft. “Dagboek van een oude dwaas” van Junichiro Tanizaki kon op geen beter moment in mijn handen terecht zijn gekomen. De auteur (1886-1965) was een beetje ouder dan ik toen hij dit boek schreef in 1961. Hij heeft ook wat meer kwaaltjes dan ikzelf (wellicht omdat de medische wetenschap toen nog niet zo…

Hammer's Frankenstein series reproduces, on a popular level, the intellectual rediscovery of Sade, in three ways. First, script (by Jimmy Sangster) relishes poetic injustice (anyone foolish enough to believe in human goodness gets it). Second, the Baron (Peter Cushing), in contrast with Mary Shelley's febrile idealist, represents both the cold cruelty, and the courage, of science, thus paraphrasing that unmoved detachment from one's atrocities which, pace the Marat-Sade, is one of the aspirations of Sade's debauchees. And just as the Sade libertine becomes the unmoved mover, matching God, so this Frankenstein reproduces not only the hubris, but the coldness, of materialism. In contrast to the Gothic setting of the novel and of the American film, Fisher's movies are in the visual key of Oscar Wilde. Cushing and Lee are perfect dandies - but aloof, cold, proud, celibate, deadlier by far than Wilde's, very near the surgeon-torturers of Baudelaire. These days Wilde's idea of evil wouldn't raise a long-haired teenager's eyebrow; but the blend of Technicolor elegance and cold savagery gives something at once cold and libidinous.

Interview with the Vampire first draft trivia

I've been meaning to make this post for a while now so I'm doing it. The Vampire Companion is a reference book for the Vampire Chronicles made in collaboration with Anne Rice. It is basically the VC wiki in book form from the 90s but with analysis of lots of themes and symbolism (there's entries for literally anything got even a passing mention in the series, and example of entries on one page chose at random are " adventure, Aegean sea, aesthetic choice" with multiple paragraphs each I shit you not like the "Aegean sea" entry explains it is basically just mentioned in passing it is COMPREHENSIVE. It also famously has an entry for penis/phallus (none for vagina or vulva tho booo). This book features a lot of analysis of VC and it's themes and it is legit some of the worst analysis I've ever seen. A lot of it is in the Freudian mindset/style which *Kubrick stares in psychology student*. It also just reflects a lot of the opinions Anne Rice had about her characters she had in the 90s, the entry on Louis really shows she hates him.

HOWEVER The Vampire Companion has one really cool feature and that is that it mentions things that were in the first draft of IWTV which was later removed. I love this kind of trivia, I love reading the IMDB trivia for these kinds of facts, so I'm collecting them all here in this post:

Lestat was supposed to die in the fire at Rue Royale. When he comes back from the swamp it was originally his last appearance and even then when they meet the Nosferatu/zombie-like vampires of Eastern Europe Louis concludes that the murder attempt left Lestat like those vampires, literally an animated corpse when he came back from the swamp and to Louis, whether Lestat survived the fire or not, Lestat is dead

Lestat's original backstory in IWTV is that Lestat was a poet as a boy. I'm just transcribing this part bc I love it so much: "....it was his poetry full of dreams and longings, that endeared Louis to him. When Louis tries to get Lestat to talk about his poetry, Lestat curtly dismisses it, as if he views it as an idealistic boy's worthless fancies." T_T I think about this part a lot and I kind of wish this part had not been removed but given that Lestat was originally based on Anne's husband Stan who was a poet, she probably removed it for personal reasons.

Rice had originally planned for Louis's tone in IWTV to be similar to that of Oscar Wilde but it changed when she changed from the POV of Daniel (1st draft) to Louis (final version). As annoying as the constant quotation marks are in IWTV, I think nonstop "the vampire said___" would have been worse

The reporter says that Louis looks to be around 35 instead of the final 25

When in Paris Louis and Claudia both accidently run into a random vampire and he runs away scared, Louis and Claudia then make themselves more obvious as vampires to attract the others to them

One evening they come home and a whole bunch of vampires are in their flat, and they take them to a rotting mansion with older human servants who are hoping to be turned into vampires. There they finally meet Armand

The vampires then get together in a room and recite Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal" and then a blonde woman is brought in, begging for her life, and she is passed around as they drink from her. Louis is horrified but drinks from her, and then Armand takes Louis to his bedroom where a woman is asleep on the bed and Louis crawls into the bed and drinks from her, killing her in her sleep

The group of vampires have more strict rules than the theater ones seem to described as loving conformity, abhor wasted opportunities, and constantly provoking each other into dares and challenges (vampire Jackass). Louis doesn't like the vampires but Claudia joins them, dressing in all black, dies her hair white, and befriends 3 brothers and has fun tormenting priests

In the original version of IWTV Claudia goes off with three vampire brothers she meets in Paris and does not die (I think Claudia leaving and meeting Bruce in the AMC show might have been an allusion to this). However AR claims she experienced "psychological difficulties" (the book's phrasing not mine) until she rewrote the ending where Claudia dies. Having Louis grieve Claudia was cathartic for her

When the vampires learn that Claudia killed Lestat they think his death was just and no punishment is required XD

Louis finally leaves not fitting in and Armand chases after him, asking why he left and then leaves the others for Louis. He also tells Louis his backstory (which is never revealed in IWTV)

In the original draft of IWTV Claudia is described as 3 or 4 instead of 5

Anne Rice did not originally realize that Claudia, the 5 year old who can never die, was a projection of her own desire for her daughter who died at 5. She originally saw Claudia as a way to talk about how women can be infantilized or considered inferior to men, by making the way women can be treated (not intelligent, not strong, not rational) physical in the form of a child

AR did use Michelle's (her daughter's) physical appearance, blond hair and blue eyes for describing Claudia, but again, denies that she was aware of a deeper significance at the time, but says it made a lot of sense later. However Claudia's personality is not based on Michelle (which makes sense bc we mostly see an adult Claudia in the book and movie and Michelle died at 5)

AR originally planned for Armand to be a central figure and villain in Queen of the Damned but decided he wasn't evil enough (I think this is cute)

Armand was completely different. He is described as innocent and angelic and in his twenties (However the final version of IWTV simply describes him as young, being 17 was added later and I personally always see him as early 20s bc of how I pictured him reading IWTV)

Armand was originally only from Venice, not Kiev, son of a guilder and later living with his maker for over a century (similar to what we learn in TVL and TVA but not nearly as dark, no sex trafficking or pedophilia)

Louis and Armand originally genuinely have a good relationship, traveling the world together after leaving Paris, and at one point Louis convinces him finally that vampires are inherently evil, he offers to go into the sun with Louis T_T However Louis cannot bring himself to do that so he adopts Armand's morals

Armand shows Louis a way to humanely kill and drink, by identifying "Those Who Want To Die" and Louis describes going to a cemetery and finding the mother of a child who had passed doesn't want to live anymore and Armand gently kills her. However Louis decides he simply likes it better when is victims fight back

The original ending of IWTV is Louis mentions that he hates going back to New Orleans because it was where he met his mortal love, but he never elaborates on who this was. (??? Anne???) As the interview ends around there Daniel notices the sun coming up and starts backing out of the room while Louis keeps talking because he was still afraid of Louis eating him. XD Louis finally realizes what was going on when Daniel makes it all the way to his car XD and is angry with him and asks for the tapes back. Armand arrives and says Daniel should have the tapes, that what Louis really wants is the tale to be public. Louis and Armand get in a cab and ride off into the night together (I also wonder if the end of s1 being Louis and Armand holding hands in front of Daniel is an allusion to this)

AR also points out that the book has large tonal differences, she wondered if it was an issue but then decided she liked it, saying Louis is a cynical cold person who warms up and then grows cold again throughout the novel. This character arc was never intentional though

Anne Rice says two main inspirations for IWTV are Richard Matheson's "Dress of White Silk" which is from the POV of a child vampire, and the movie "Dracula's Daughter" which had a tragic and sensual vampire.

The original IWTV short story (which you can still read) is very different, the vampire is not like Louis but based on Oscar Wilde, she intended the tone to be ironic and witty. The vampire enjoys killing and tells the reporter that, and like in the books says "the room the interview is in is just a room" but at the end reveals he is waiting for the occupant to come home so he can kill him, and the reporter runs away frightened. Lestat does not really exist other than as a nameless maker and Claudia and Armand also do not exist

The Vampire Companion does not really have "first draft" comments on any of the other books (only the first 4 had been out when it was published). I imagine it is because an author's first book is usually subjected to more edits and rewrites while they are struggling to get it published, but once the foot is in the door you don't have to do that as much (and AR took this a step further with firing her editor after becoming a NYT bestseller!).

However there were a few things about characters who appear later which I found interesting:

In the Daniel entry she says she wanted to explore Armand and Daniel's relationship more in future books, which we know she never does :(

Gabrielle was deliberately based on AR's own mother. Her mother was a feminist activist, often making AR feel like her mother paid more attention to her activism than to her, which mirrors Lestat wishing Gabrielle would teach him to read so he can enjoy the escapism. However both Gabrielle and AR's mother were unhappy in their domestic motherly roles, which is reflected in Gabrielle. AR's mother was also an alcoholic and died when AR was young of complications due to alcoholism. AR deliberately wrote Lestat saving his mother from death by making her a vampire, and Gabrielle being freed from the expectations of her gender as a wish she could have done the same with her mother T_T

David is also meant to be her father, he was dying due to some heart disease at the time she wrote TOTBT (he was not actually dead yet but I think was by the time she published or shortly after) and David is described as dying due to similar causes. So she wrote once again one of her parents not dying but becoming immortal. TOTBT is also much darker compared to TVL and QOTD, the previous two Lestat narrated books, and her grief helps explain why (but also "AR pls go to therapy" challenge)

I also find this excerpt on Anne Rice projecting onto Lestat interesting bc this is VERY similar to what Gabrielle says to Lestat: "As a writer I put myself into Lestat much more deeply than I had put myself into Louis because I was dealing with aggression in Lestat, and dealing with my own repressions. Lestat was my male hero who could do what I couldn't. I wanted to get out of the mindset of the passive grieving person [from when she was writing IWTV]." :/

Oscar is our first heir for this legacy and since he's still just a tot, many of his outfit choices are still chosen by his parents and guardians. However, he seems to have picked up on his parents preferred color palette of black and grey, with some added blues, greens and browns. All of his clothing is made of sturdy fabric and ready for rough housing and playing tough.

In appearance, we can already see that his nose is quite prominent and his eyes a beautiful grey-blue hue, taking after his mother, Winifred, while his hair a striking black to contrast. Still quite young, he hasn't quite lost his chubbiness from being a baby or grown in all his teeth, but you best believe he is ready to take on whatever adventures await him each and every day.

Also, I wanted to mention that I've actually messed up Ozzy's aging for how I intend to progress my Sims ages going forward. So it will probably seem like Ozzy is stuck in toddler-hell for a lot longer than he should be but we're just going to go with it at this point because I had already styled his looks!

Hello Mommy, I'm new on your blog and I'm a bit embarrassed because it's my first time to send someone a message here… but I’m delighted with your works and I’m very curious what inspires you to create. Do you listen to music while writing, or maybe you are inspired by the fantasies in your head and you simply put them on paper? I wish you a great day <3

Hello bunny, welcome to our naughty little house. I hope you feel loved and adored.

Ideas… hmm, my brain works in a very strange way, I can literally get the most unique idea out of anything, I'm in a constant flow. But my bunnies also give me a lot of ideas with their requests.

For example, my last ff with Emperor Hwa was inspired by my bunny's request for the unholy hour. So do not hesitate to send me your wishes and your most depraved dreams, my sweet bunnies, I am always ready to make them come true.

Music helps too, yes. If you have noticed, all my works have a kind of unique style - I really like the exquisite literary style. I take inspiration from poetry and books. My favourite literary genre is the gothic novel and I really dream of writing something for Ateez in the style of Bram Stoker's Dracula. As for poets, I have recently discovered Baudelaire, Poe and Pablo Neruda. I can also recommend writers such as Sylvia Plath, Anais Nin, Nabokov and Oscar Wilde.

I am also inspired by some photos or fanarts. I think you will see this influence in the near future.

In general I just live in my own world of ideas and am happy to create different universes for you.

Thank you for writing the random facts about the doctor, was a really nice read. :) Since you said those things are fun it would be nice to see about Aubrey too but no pressure. :)

My pleasure, I really had fun writing them, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it! And that, too, would be my pleasure!

Random facts about Aubrey:

Out of the four temperaments, he's sanguine.

He was always seen as odd and inappropriate; it has been difficult for him to make truly close friends since he tended to weird them out. The majority of his friends as an adult mostly saw him as a fun drinking buddy. They didn't want to go deeper than that - it was way too jarring.

Some of his favourite words are ecstacy, remnant, allure, ardent, and ravenous (the latter didn't turn into a favourite word until during a certain incident.)

The two things that drives him the most are pleasure (and he's very greedy when it comes to that, he's one of those people who craves instant gratification,) as well as his survival instinct.

He's an ambivert - he needs to be alone (or alone with someone he truly trusts) quite often because too much socialisation at a time/too frequent socialisation wears him out. That said, if he goes too long without company, he feels like climbing the walls from boredom and frustration.

He loves reading poetry, but wouldn't try to write it himself. He enjoys poetry that align with his interests (such as morbidity and decadence,) but also poetry about pure, raw agony. If I could set this in a particular time, which I absolutely cannot, he would enjoy poets such as Rimbaud and Baudelaire, and he would love Oscar Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol.

He's absolutely terrified of death and illness (and he used to be quite sickly, so he turned into a bit of a hypochondriac;) getting sick with the plague was his worst nightmare coming true. Knowing that he was dying, thinking that it was inevitable, that he was just waiting for it while suffering physically, but still holding on to life with an iron grip because he refused to let death take him just yet.

His full name is Aubrey Marlowe Carmel. His mother would have named him the same regardless of his gender.

He's got ADD, or at least a lot of ADD-traits - not that it had a name during his day and age. (He also got The Crazies - something incomprehensible that there isn't a diagnosis for.)

His favourite animal is, of course, cats. They bring out a soft side in him, too - if a cat would come and stroke themselves against him, you wouldn't be able to remove him before the cat had went its own way. He would be too busy cooing and petting it. He also loves bats.
