Not concerned with blog consistency or a curated online presence so posting is sporadic and uncoordinated. Current interests: literature, especially Brideshead Revisited and the Secret History + gothic fiction in general, The Beatles, postwar British history, Twin Peaks, Severance, postpunk, and writing (this was meant to be a writeblr once upon a time).
Please don’t spam like/reblog!
crazy thang is whenever someone makes a post talkng about how xyz thing annoys them someone will always go 'oh so we're not even allowed to do [thing] anymore??' like no you literally can. that person just will not like you. if that is enough to stop you then its not that youre not allowed its that you are not capable of existing outside of the approval of others
why are you asking for permission. begging? are you a dog or a man
there it is

What’s been done to cannibalism in fiction on this site is so sad…
That said a brief foray into tiktok led me to something like “when men make art about cannibalism it’s about capitalism when women make art about cannibalism it’s about sex” which is just so frustratingly reductive and honestly misogynistic imo…the really fantastic thing about incorporating anything ever into fiction is that its meaning is not universal but fluid depending on the context
