#I mean I've always had this fascination for and this... predilection to write about vampires or ghosts or “dark” themes like that

So one thing I've always loved about uni/studying/learning new things is when you have different subjects or different tiny dots of knowledge and slowly, as you learn more and more, those tiny splashes of knowledge are becoming less isolated, and you realize that it's all connected and - at least with my subjects being in the humanities - you sort of “unlock” this new perspective on a certain aspect of the human condition. And like, that's fun enough and - if I'm being honest - probably my favorite thing about studying already as it is, BUT NOW, now that I've finally gotten back into writing as a hobby this is just ANOTHER dimension for me to expand that knowledge into and to use that knowledge for. And I am absolutely living for it. So happy to be back on my bullshit and so happy to be at a place in my life where these two passions of mine fit so seamlessly together and one passion benefits from the other and vice versa
#god I love that I get to do this#to be less vague: I am taking this course (and a lecture as well) on the aesthetic and philosophy of night darkness dream and imagination#and like that is already SO up my alley you don't even know#but besides getting to learn about the influence of those themes on literature of the 19th century now I also get to practice it you know?#I mean I've always had this fascination for and this... predilection to write about vampires or ghosts or “dark” themes like that#and I just continue to do that now but like???? ugh idk I feel so? /seen/ when I learn about the way people used to do that and still do an#that it's something so... essentially human to be interested in?#which of course technically I knew bcs we have all this media abt these themes. but something about learning /why/ we enjoy these themes an#/why/ there is somehing so very cathartic about engaging with them? something so freeing and so subversive about doing it?#like I love learning things that make me understand myself and my motivations more deeply. also on a creative level#and idk... this is all probably a very jumbled mess but I wanted to share my joy with you in case anyone read up to this point <3#simon.out.#yes this is about the potential wilmon vampire fic I am plotting out rn and yes I am going to be absolutely unbearable about it#vampire wilmon
