[badassindistress]

The very first thing I ever loved was the night sky. From the moment I opened my eyes and saw the shining signs of other worlds, I knew my purpose in this world was to adore it.

I like that thing humans say, when a new human is born. A baby born of love, the love from their parents. It sounds so sweet, even if it is not always true.

For me, that has never been true. I was not born of love, I was created to love. That is the difference between Nymphs and men. Humans are born to walk the world, they stumble and walk half-finished for half their lives to discover it. Nymphs are born from the world to love it above all things.

When the Goddess finished her creation and laid herself down to rest, her last act was calling forth the Nymphs from the rocks and the pools to enjoy the lands she created. We were born from bloom and earth and spring and we were the first to dance on the new earth.

Humans came later, the creation of some trickster god who prized change over harmony. We Nymphs saw them grow and change the world we were born from. Not me personally, of course, my roots reach only a few hundred years. But the Nymphs now dreaming in the glaciers of the ageless mountains sang their songs about the land before the humans built their farms and their cities.

In their songs it sounds beautifully wild, but I would not change the world as it is now. The wild can always win back the world, but humans create such wonderful things. They can melt the hearts of mountains and make them shine like stars. They’ve made it so I can almost hold my beloved stars in my hand.

I’ve longed to touch the stars for longer than I can remember. I used to tell myself I was a fallen star, pulled to earth in triumphant flames for the love of the earth I saw below me. It is not a true story, perhaps, but I like the way it sounds. A star danced down into a mirror pool reflecting the night sky with just one fewer star shining brightly.

It might be true.

I do not know.

you know i'm just thinking about back in may when we were laughing about Jonathan and "his friend Count Dracula" and the way it almost seemed comedic - we know he's a character in dracula but he has no idea

and now it's been weeks since i've seen anyone make a joke about the novel being a comedy. it almost feels like watching a train crash in slow motion, as the characters keep trying to prevent the tragedy from happening when we know their attempts must be futile. the horror comes from the exact same place as the comedy at the start - we know they're characters in dracula but god, they have no idea

#dracula daily #dracula #the last updates have been messing me up #us in may: haha he doesn't even know he's a vampire #us now: oh god they don't even know he's a vampire

#finally catching up on the last few days' updates #and i gotta say i was not expecting the most blatant homoeroticism in this book to be between van helsing and arthur holmwood of all people #not that i'm complaining #dracula #dracula daily #re: dracula #van helsing #arthur holmwood

why does sleepwalking women and gothic horror go hand in hand

You asking me?

The answer is voyeurism.

Here's the thing about gendered horror: the goddamn eroticism. You can't escape it, people want to get their rocks off even when they're terrified-- especially when they're terrified! It's such popular imagery because of the intimacy of a woman with all her hair let down in only a white nightgown highlighted by the pale moonlight. A nightgown is very innocent in its intimacy, there's nothing inherently sexual about it, but that just gets people even more horny! No structured garments underneath-- she's wearing breeches obviously but shhh no she's totally naked save for some sheer billowing fabric.

EDIT: oh my god blah blah blah "breeches! actually she wouldn't be wearing those!! oh my god, they got it wrong, just shoot them in the streets, your honour!" FINE SHE'S NOT WEARING ANY PANTIES UNDER THERE, GOOD FOR YOU YOU GOT ME.

Gasp! Unprotected purity! I sure hope no dastardly villain tarnishes this woman! (they do. they do hope for that actually)

This isn't a very fun answer, is it? But it's worth saying. Horror explicitly involving women tends to be very visual with plenty of (arguably) sexual imagery. Men get the mindboggling horrors inconceivable to the human psyche while women are limited to being eye candy who faint before their minds can even be boggled (no that isn't a euphemism). Even when the women in question previously had a larger role in the story than "sexy lamp", pop culture will be quick to reframe it in the way that has the most sex appeal.

But like... let's take the woman's perspective: you're in a state of undress and completely unaware of your surroundings. It's dark and anyone lurking around at this time might very well have bad intentions, and they might turn those bad intentions on you. And you'll be blamed for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong dress. Terrifying. And people don't really appreciate the terror of it because... it's pretty, isn't it?

But then Lucy is weeping in her sleep, and Mina is covering her feet in mud for propriety. Because who knows what a man will do to them if he sees her naked feet? They're both cowering in fear hoping a drunken man doesn't take notice of them. Because who knows what he'll do to them if he sees two young ladies out at night? They're sweating from not just exertion but stress, and their messy hair clings to their frightened faces. They cannot tell anyone. Because who knows what toll this night might take on their good reputations?

It's not pretty. There's no see-through dresses (seriously their nightgowns are made of fucking linen, not organza), no flowing locks, no full faces of makeup, just pure society-ingrained horror.

But cis men don't typically understand that horror because they aren't usually victim to it. It honestly makes me sad and angry that the imagery is so prominent (and in such a watered-down and bland "sexy" way) because it reduces the actual horror these two protagonists face to nothing more than an audience's voyeuristic fantasy in which the women are only objects to be gawked at. The danger is reframed as tantalizing and enticing "ooo good girls (unknowingly) being bad in their sleep!" rather than... they could have fucking died. Or worse.

... But I still want to draw my girls (Jonathan, Mina, and Lucy) in cute nightgowns, so I'll bite my tongue.
