Gothic is always being reinvented — undone, redone, repurposed, reconstituted, recycled — and yet, somehow, it is always still recognizable.

this is soooo loa-ditch-the-old-self-coded. i fucking love the phrase “tipped over in the middle of invention.” be brave enough to persist in your invention.

Gothic storytellers working in a variety of media appropriate, combine, and reimagine previous stories and, by doing so, keep the genre in a continuous state of reinvention.

Broad Generalization/Assumption

The folks that appreciate the Robins understand the fuckin Herculean labor of self-reinvention. For one reason or another, we've all had to claw our way out of something bad to something better (or at least not worse). Every person I talk to irl that identifies with the Robins has a trunk load of trauma and a mausoleum of skeletons.

We all look to stories about heroes to be inspired, to see that anyone is capable of greatness. Our hearts were broken when we found ourselves.

I'm moving differently because I want different. Old ways won't open new doors for me.
