SAY IT! SAY IT! THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF STORIES, NOT ATOMS

Like did y’all know that several major scholars of the gothic discuss, in depth, how the rise of the debate about slavery and abolition coincided with the inception and rise of the gothic as a genre, and how that was by no means accidental and in fact greatly illuminates the gothic’s obsession with hauntings, bondage, ancestral curses, and doomed lineages? Of course not, cause y’all are too busy pulling reasons black people don’t belong in gothic stories out of your asses instead of reading

Works that discuss blackness and the gothic in detail

one thing about me is that i will lose my mind about the personification of the house

this house hates you. this house loves you. this house wont ever let you leave. this house has eyes & a mouth. you could make this house speak. you could make this house cry. this house has seen the worst parts of you & wants to keep you inside it forever. this house will die with you. etc.

what they dont tell you about growing up as a very lonely little girl is that you grow up and still a part of you remains that very lonely little girl

it was a bit of a slay

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

I accidentally follow people so much on this site that i dont know who half the people on my dash are
