Shoutout to characters who are scarier when they’re in love. Gotta be one of my favorite genders.

Re: Carmilla episode 3, We Compare Notes, thoughts:

CARMILLA O'CLOCK BABEY

Méabh de Brún could read the ingredients off the back of cereal boxes to me and I would be enraptured. God, what a voice

Love the subtle soundscape shift as Laura enters the room given to Carmilla. Despite it being a room in her own home, the delivery of the lines and the undercurrent of the music feels as if she's stepping into someone else's territory, like an otherworldly pocket grafted into place.

Carmilla beating Laura to the punch with the 'recognized you as the pretty girl from a childhood nightmare' tale sounds so impressively insidious in this. With the hindsight of knowing where this story goes, or as someone new to the tale, the fact that she has this much of the script planned out for her act with Laura really hits here. Carmilla sounds believable, not just as someone playing a role, but playing it so well that nobody expecting a budding horror story (like Laura) would suspect anything. It never struck me how deeply premeditated this exchange was until hearing it play out; the faux fainting act post-carriage? Sure. But she kept the memory of her first dreamscape attack on Laura from twelve years ago locked and loaded with a counter-narrative to guarantee innocence and ~connection~ rather than just feigning ignorance. Something uniquely eerie in that.

“If you were less pretty I think I should be very much afraid of you, but being as you are, and you and I both so young, I feel only that I have made your acquaintance twelve years ago, and have already a right to your intimacy; at all events it does seem as if we were destined, from our earliest childhood, to be friends. I wonder whether you feel as strangely drawn towards me as I do to you; I have never had a friend—shall I find one now?” She sighed, and her fine dark eyes gazed passionately on me.

Carmilla: "Ha ha we had such a weird dream when we were kids~. I would be So Scared if you weren't so hot and that I had an intrinsic right to your intimacy, ha haaa~. We should be soulmates friends with benefits about it." 👁️👁️

Laura: "Normally I'd be hesitant what with the lingering horror, but I'm very lonely and you're voiced by Méabh de Brún, so we'll roll with that"

“You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me” Carmilla, 1872.

[elainiisms]

"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence 🙄

“Darling, darling. I live in you, and you would die for me. I love you so.”
