i do a lot of dark shadows posting. sometimes i write.

multimuse featuring gothic media, with an emphasis on the television series dark shadows and disney theme parks. LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA, VOI CH'ENTRATE. this blog features regular content like murder, suicide, and cannibalism, as well as a narrative background of infidelity, period homophobia, questionable consent, and incest (among other staples of the gothic genre). if any of this is not your speed, this blog may not be for you.

sideblog to emcads (follows back from here, etc). graphic by my beloved @finalslay banner template by @gentlesource. icon by @flameandignite.

typical rp etiquette encouraged. personal blogs, I ask that you don't rb dossiers and ic writing, but other than that, go wild. I'm also liveblogging my ds watch through here, posts will be tagged "ds liveblogging." for convenience <;3

*a special note regarding roger & victoria: this is one of my main ships on this blog & I do want to make it clear I don't write her as elizabeth's daughter. I have a longer write up in v's dossier, but the tldr is i follow the hanscombe storyline with some canon divergences.
