holy week in fragments 🖼️ the burden of names, the silence of mothers, the fall of men, the myth of return, the color of bruises, chino moreno whispering in my ear

other ppl: i miss you i love you

me to my love: i just imagined you passing away. i see myself living in your room for months, years, until your sheets and pillows, your clothes in the wardrobe, and every where i tried to love you run out of your scent

i dislike it when i read a “crazy girl” book and she’s just written as some comical caricature. she’s just crazy for no reason, doing all these crazy girl things like haha look at me im so crazy and quirky and a girlboss who eats boys for bfast

it’s sooooo lazy and cringe

[katherina @lotusofarc]

anw i am a fan of these women-running-away vintage covers from the 50s 🫀

[katherina @lotusofarc]

a lot of these gothic classics, which were btw written by women, were published at a time where female lust, desire, or anything sexual were considered unchaste. it is lot more nuanced than the genre just being ab one specific thing

[meghan @ladynoir]

it’s insane how many time i’ve read gothic classics and been like “oh this is about rape/sexual assault” and then all the academia is like it’s about LUST and DESIRE

[katherina @lotusofarc]

thinking of starting a book club so i can fascistly force people to read the books i wanna read then discuss w me

i love being in love as much as i secretly love being bereft (not specifically romantically). in both i find a Muse beyond myself . the Muse being both love and grief (conjoined twins holding the same body)
