#anon pull me up PULL ME UP i'm falling into the 90s nostalgia pit again

There is a real-life goth castle in Wisconsin; however, the new houseowner gave it a Barbiecore makeover. Some of the black gothic furniture is still being used. Imagine Vlad getting excited for the Barbie movie and just paint his entire castle pink.

I had to see this for myself and...

Anon, I had no idea that Wisconsin Castles are, like... a Thing. Must be something in the beer up there.

But you're right. I can see Vlad going through design phases. Maybe when he first bought his castle he went with a gaudy gilded Louis XIV style that came with the place. Then perhaps he got tired of smashing his kneecaps to smithereens on claustrophobia-inducing Baroque furniture and tore it all down to fill it with modern things, and when he became sick of flat surfaces, primary colors, and 90-degree angles, he went full Gothic, gargoyles and spires and everything. Maybe he saved one or two things from each phase and ended up with this Frankensteinian hodgepodge, and after repeated dissatisfaction he just decided to fire his interior decorator(s) and do things his own way.

Vlad certainly decorates according to his whims, and canon supports this theory. (What is it with rich people and tasteless décor?) I'm sure Barbie is just the excuse he needs to vault back to his Aqua-seasoned Barbie Girl days of the mid/late 90s when things like inflatable furniture and glitter and fuzzy pink everything was in vogue.
