greetings darlings,

this is my first tumblr account, so i figured I’d do an introduction (yes, in the year 2025 I am creating my first tumblr account - we’re gonna give dead internet theory a slap in the face). ive always loved the idea of internet blogging, but ive never really felt the desire to create my own till now. my longing for community, curating pretty images, and giving a public voice to my inner world has prevailed over any weird hang-ups ive had about having an online presence, so here I am.

waffling aside (I’m not british but I do love that term) my name is ava (she/her/hers) and I am femme lesbian goth newbie doll collector from the mid-atlantic who loves to craft, bake, thrift, and ramble about horror movies. I am avid antique store goer, they have to be one of my favorite places to frequent.

some of my simple pleasures include

dolls (especially blythes, antique bisques, pullips, susie sad eyes, and bjds), freshly brewed tea, porcelain teacups, tattoos, fantasy creatures (particularly fairies, mermaids, and vampires), urban legends, analog horror, creepypastas, nostalgia and reminiscing, lace and frilly vintage clothing, whimsy, lesbian pining, maxi skirts, horror movies, cartoons and anime, catholic iconography and architecture, antique keys, art nouveau, surrealist art, antique photographs, baked goods and desserts, charcuterie boards, english cottage style gardens, maximalism, cats, fall weather, abandoned houses.
