reblog if you, too, are subject to brief visitations of insanity

[lesbian-revenant]

Laura: wait didn't you bite me when I was a child?

Carmilla: no, you just dreamed that. I know this because I had the same dream.

Laura: I trust you because you are really hot.

Mr. R. Enfield, R.M. Renfield, Mademoiselle Rheinfeldt... I'm seeing a pattern

[linecoveredinjellyfish]

how many names do we think carmilla has used? more importantly, are they all anagrams of each other? did she really just pick some letters and roll with it for 500 years? Llamarc? Arclliam?

Because I am occasionally an unimaginative so-and-so, and I'm seeing how much people are loving these tumblr book clubs (myself included with Dickens December and Frankenstein Weekly), how would people feel about me doing one for The War Of The Worlds? Like, a chapter or half a chapter a week?

Is it me or is that young woman's mother really neglectful? She literally dumped her on this random castle. She's lucky it's a nice family and not Mr Dracula, who doesn't live far from the place.

carmilla quarterly has begun and your ass needs to sign up

[katesharmasheart]

was that doctor van Helsing👀?

i love how touchy they are to each other and Laura being all 'how lovely friendship ❤️ we must have been related another life☺️' and carmilla being all 'i love you, we should die together,be together😍😍

also it is kind insulting the man pointing out carm's teeth

the funeral moment tho, that was pretty intense

this is interesting tho, carmilla being able to be out in the morning

Chapter 5 was the most fruity chapter

carmilla's declarations of love and laura keeping a painting bc it resembled carmilla 🌈

did she just bit her? without inviting her to dinner?

...bro wtf wtf

The last part of a carmilla quarterly update has ben languishing in an open tab whoops lol

In the meantime the young lady, whom her mother called by the odd name of Millarca,

Vampires gotta stop doing this!!!! Quick whats ur vampire name its ur normal name but backwards/slightly jumbled

I spent the interval in cudgelling my brains for a conjecture as to the identity of the lady who seemed to remember me so kindly,

WHOO SAY THE LINE

But dreams come through stone walls, light up dark rooms, or darken light ones, and their persons make their exits and their entrances as they please, and laugh at locksmiths.

Okay. I’m subscribed to Carmilla Quarterly, and holy shit it’s so gay. I’d provide more commentary on it, but like, that’s it. It’s so gay.

[mourningmaybells]

dracula's "voluptuous" is carmilla's "languid" if you think about it

[smowkie]

i just subscribed to carmilla quarterly too, after reading the first part, because wow, that's gay.

So back when everybody was setting up all these classics newsletters inspired by Dracula Daily, I found two for Carmilla and I didn't know which one to choose so I just subscribed to both

Turns out Carmilla Weekly started in September so that's what I started reading along with. But now Carmilla Quarterly has started! While Carmilla Weekly is still going!

I don't know whether to repost my commentary or not. I guess I'll just direct you to my Carmilla Weekly tag if y'all are interested? (Link should lead to the tag in chronological order, might not work on the mobile app.)

Carmilla Weekly is doing one chapter per week so I actually have a whole bunch of posts about the first four chapters. I was really excited for this back in September

(Fair warning: I do start using the protagonist's name before it's actually mentioned in the text. I don't think it counts as a spoiler but maybe y'all do, idk.)

I've just picked up Lermontov's Demon, I felt like starting the year with a poem and this one fits both my tackle your classics challenge and the list of books for my Russian literature exam. But to be fair, the first book I read is Carmilla for Carmilla Quarterly.

Weekly Bookish Question #318 ( January 1st - January 7th) 

typical first question of the year: What’s the first book you’re picking/have picked up in 2023?
