Blog: Old Hammer Gothic, Dracula. Blogger: Aging, white, a woman, cis, pro-choice, survivor of mental and physical violence called euphemistically as bullying, with mental illness, with weight problems, unpolluted by filth of Freudian projection. Purity is not sugary or dull, it is lack of dirt. I want sublimely rich imagery - pure mature women, full of life, in lush colors, in mythical 19th century Mittelland, in the mist-shrouded castles and cozy bedrooms.

I am going to sleep. It is midnight here.
Scarlett Johansson has spoken for the first time about the Woody Allen sexual abuse allegations since being called out in Dylan Farrow’s open letter last month, and she calls the criticism “irresponsible.”
"It’s not like this is somebody that’s been prosecuted and found guilty of something, and you can then go, ‘I don��t support this lifestyle or whatever.’ I mean, it’s all guesswork."

Love without Sex
I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.
(ps. I’m also posting something similar to Aven on Monday. Also, please only like or reblog, not both. Also using this as a very very loose guide-line, stop getting your panties in a twist, it’s not going to be my only source)

What horrible, monstrous thing for him to do..
I feel like the Phantom killed Piangi not just to make it easier to impersonate him, but to also get back at Carlotta for mocking his script. Think about it. He killed Joseph Buquet, who had mocked him earlier. He dropped a chandelier on several hundred people because the managers weren’t taking him seriously. Everyone who had mocked him or didn’t take him seriously payed for it in some way. His way of making Carlotta pay for it was to kill the man she loved.

“After he died the Tudors created a lot of rumours about him, telling everyone he was a villain and he had a hunchback - but actually he wasn’t bad at all. He was actually a good man who cared about England and protecting his family’s name.”
There´s nothing evil in hunched back. My mother´s favorite aunt had that medical condition.

Despite some hiccups, I really liked this Drac-in-beautifully-shot-Hammer-Transylvania-movie.
Jenny Hanley was the BEST thing about Scars of Dracula (1970)

[7/10] the bloody chamber & other stories (part ii of ii) by angela carter
"Every wolf in the world now howled a prothalamion outside the window as she freely gave the kiss she owed him. What big teeth you have! She saw how his jaw began to slaver and the room was full of the clamor of the forest’s Liebestod, but the wise child never flinched, even when he answered: All the better to eat you with.
The girl burst out laughing; she knew she was nobody’s meat.”
