I'm afraid nothing gentle grows in this land. You need a measure of bitterness... not to be eaten.

Hello!

I’m tired of Meta apps and tiktok has been banned so I’m going back to my roots 😔✊. I’m an artist that mostly redesigns movie posters but I also dabble in other artwork, linocut designs, and crochet. I’ve been running my own business for a few years now and I sell online (linked below) and in person at some cons and markets. I mostly just want a place to post my creative endeavors and learn from other people and this seems like a great place to do that 😌. I’ve included some of my posters and prints that I’ve made in the last couple of years and of the current fandoms I’m enjoying. Let me know your thoughts/favorites!

I can't help the feeling people nowadays tend to misunderstand the essece of gothic romances. I mean many of those fans of this genre just enjoy the aesthetics or cute love stories, in which the action takes place in a mysterious castle/the love interest is a hot, twentyish -looking vampire and so on. Which is totally fine! However, enjoyers of such fiction, often forget gothic romances often revolve around dark themes (for exaple, Heathcliff and Cathy are both pretty toxic people, the former character's alcoholism ruined several lives, including his own, in "Crimson Peak", we have this incestuous relationship and it seems like the big sis groomed her brother and so on). Also, the love interests doesn't have to look like pretty vampire lovers (like this malformed guy from "Phantom of the Opera". Long story short, I don't understand why so many people are so outraged at the twisted soulmatism between Ellen and Orlok? And no, I don't think he raped her. After all even in "Dracula" (the novel) the Count figuratively represents women's sexual awakening. Moreover, their desire is portrayed as some dark, unsettling power which, much to our good Victorian boys' surprise and horror, cannot be controlled by them

There is this very annoying tendency today to want to criticize gothic romance as something inherently bad, which is profoundly ridiculous. And knowing that it is a genre generally dominated by female authors, it doesn't really surprise me. And yes, Crimson Peak have true grooming in his writing, unlike Nosferatu and the Phantom of the Opera. Yet ironically I still see very few people talking about this fact, probably because the victim of grooming is a man in this film. A man that some viewers are trying to demonize in order to further victimize the character of Edith, Thomas' wife, who like him, is ultimately a victim of Lucille. But rushing to stick the word grooming to Nosferatu and the Phantom of the Opera for the relationships Ellen & Orlok and Erik & Christine, that they know to do. I am so tired of the talk about Nosferatu 2024 and the talk it provokes ironically again about The Phantom of the Opera. These people have no culture, no capacity for real reflection and analysis, hiding behind a false morality to appear superior.

"Ghosts are real. This much, I know. There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. But there are others, others that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge, or love. Those, they never go away."
