Disgust, horror, abjection, terror. These are all intentionally deployed tools in art, and they are all objectively deeply entangled with the erotic /whether or not you find them subjectively erotic/.
interesting how discussions of the loumand fight and louis saying the ‘my daddy vampire groomed me’ line always leave out that armand and his theatre group killed claudia and madeleine and almost killed louis in a mob lynching and that’s why louis was out of his mind with grief

We urge you to donate and participate
