also, about carmillas control of her vampirism, while it's hot to think about, i dont think fangs actually come out during sex. like in the s3 scenes where shes actually still a vampire that we dont get to see but i dont think that happens
based on my inferences that the losing control of the vampirism happens mostly bc of anger/threat and it basically never happens atlaura and i think one of her worst fears is hurting laura, i think during sex is the least likely time for any loss of control like that
+ theres the fact that laura is the bitey one during sex, even with human teeth
#which i love#i have many thoughts but none of them are cohering enough yet to be useful#i say as if i ever intentionally use any thoughts during writing it's always just vibes#always use my subconscious thougths alone#i think if laura turns she would actually maybe be bitey during sex#smth abt control and both of them idk i havent figured it out yet#but what i was saying abt laura letting go of (narrative) control when it comes to carmilla right?#and for carmilla hunger = loss of control#and loss of control = hurting people/being someone she doesnt want to be maybe#but with how laura in loving carmilla gives up her control i think she might get bitey#in iwtv vampires can drink other vampire blood but i always felt like they couldnt do that#idk what story i mightve gotten that idea from but i always feel like. human blood is good. animal blood is gross maybe. vampire blood isba#like thats recycled blood#i think it'd be bad for them#thats mostly irrelevant though i can do whatever i want#and if i make carmilla turn her then they can definitely drink each other's blood#but carmilla is always kind of a loss of control for laura right? since the beginning. loss of narrative control in s1#loss of physical control in s3#kind of both and more in s2#carmilla messes up the story: 'there was just one little snag with that plan.........carm and i fell in love :)'#my point is it makes all the sense that she would vamp out during sex#while carmilla. carmillas job for 3 centuries was to play a pretty girl Who Is Definitely Not Gonna Eat You#keeping control is kind of crucial to that whole thing#carmillaposting

Do you have any horror recs, books or movies or whatever, about gender? Or non traditional gender dynamics/performances? Could be lgbtq or not. Feel free to ignore if out of left field. I love your blog!
Ooooh i think horror is the perfect genre to discuss gender but unfortunately i have rarely seen it done and it's even rarer to see it done well, so I'd love if anyone else has other recommendations! But just off the top of my head Ginger Snaps and Carrie both involve menstruation as a metaphor for loss of control over your body and how others see you in light of genderisms, the Hostel films do some stuff regarding gender but if you don't like torture movies i Do Not recommend them, Under the Skin is about gender/body horror, The Stepford Wives (the original film + novel) deals with gender roles. Almost any vampire media can be read as a metaphor for gender and sexual deviancy, starting with the original Dracula and Carmilla, but for vampire films that touch on it I especially recommend Let the Right One In, Byzantium, The Moth Diaries, The Hunger, and A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. Men, Women and Chainsaws: Gender In The Modern Horror Film by Carol Clover is a pretty good breakdown of gender in relation to the genre. Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado is a collection of short horror stories, many of which deal with gender and body dysmorphia. And, while not horror, when discussing literature regarding gender, I can never recommend The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin enough. Hope this helps!
