Winter 08: Dateless - Pt.2 (36/64)

I figured, why not, so we went out to the square behind the museum to build a snowman together.

It turned out rather good if I do say so myself. Klaus-Ove and I talked for a bit more, but it was freezing and getting late, so we decided to say goodbye.

I enjoyed my day with Klaus-Ove. We had fun. I don't really see a potential boyfriend in him somehow, but I think we could become good friends.

Gameplay notes: Klaus-Ove and Rachel had a good time. He was very friendly towards her. Klaus-Ove told a funny story which made Rachel laugh out loud. The snowman was an initiative of Klaus-Ove. It was fun. I didn't feel chemistry between them, also because despite them having a good time, their relationship didn’t progress much. But I think that if they put in a bit more effort, Klaus-Ove and Rachel could be good friends. They parted as acquaintances. Attraction score: 5

New Horror 2023 - Day 9

"I believe in magic now."

"The Island of Regrets" by Elizabeth Walter (1965)

It has the vibe of a Tales from the Crypt story in that the people aren't the most likable, but then it's a harsh lesson for being just sorta dickish.

💀💀💀

"It was your bad land that made me."

"Famine's Shadow" by Rachel Deering & Christine Larsen (2014)

Family crumbles from the top-down. This one just left me feeling real sad.

💀💀💀

"I think there's something here that's not meant to be."

The Nun II dir. Michael Chaves (2023)

I'm all in for religion-based investigations and the creepiness that ensues, but this didn't need to be tied to a big franchise of these things.

[aloneholy]

hi i love your blog :) & was wondering if you could recommend your favorite/the best sapphic n wlw media like shows books movies please? I have recently come to ... Realisations .. :') I do love picnic at hanging rock btw and also the similar vibes of the media that you tend to reblog. homeorotic energy w out being Explicity Stated it also very welcome <3 thank you if you can and i hope thats okay !!! have a good day :)

hellooo what a lovely question - thank you so much! i’ll happily rec some things i’ve loved, especially that i find homoerotic/wlw media that Compel me much harder to come by - and i agree, picnic at hanging rock is so unique.

books:

- zami: a new spelling of my name by audre lorde - an “autobiomythography” & maybe thee most formative book for me, in terms of wlw reading. i read it for university and it changed me as a person, changed the way i look at loving women. it’s beautiful

- nightwood by djuna barnes - if you like the more unsettling aspects of picnic at hanging rock, something lynchian and modernist, this is a dark and heavily abstract lesbian novel which i really love

- our wives under the sea - a really poignant and lovely soft sci-fi depiction of a wlw relationship, themes of grief, identity, loss etc. some compare it to annihilation though expect much less science fiction

- her body and other parties by carmen maria machado - a lovely (probably my favourite!) collection of short stories which often are wlw-centric or have a vibe. stunning prose in general

- hera lindsay bird by hera lindsay bird - wlw poetry, very fun and contemporary, what i call self-aware poetry

- mary oliver’s poetry!!!

- for biographies, anything about tove jansson….

- anything by virginia woolf will fit the not explicitly stated vibe feeling - mrs dalloway has a really wistful lesbian undercurrent, orlando is a love letter to vita sackville-west. etc. etc.

movies:

- persona (ingmar bergman) - thee movie. it’s Not explicitly stated, it’s feverish and desolate, but it’s both intensely homoerotic and a searing exploration of identity, existential dread etc.

- mulholland drive (david lynch) - again, unsettling vibes. not even gonna elaborate on it - it’s a david lynch - but it’s a must-see

- passing (rebecca hall) - a moody, poignant and beautiful adaptation of nella larsen’s novella (which is on my to-read list) about a relationship between two women

- the favourite (yorgos lanthimos) - recently rewatched with a friend, no notes. a bizarre, obsessive, thrilling story. rachel weisz is to die for in it

- kajillionaire (miranda july) - a tender and strange (affectionate) depiction of a bond between two women in unexpected circumstances

- thoroughbreds (cory finley) - what if murder was homoerotic, what if murder was a metaphor. in a way this is about every codependent friendship between girls that has ever veered towards obsession

- vita & virginia (chanya button) - a biopic abt virginia woolf and vita sackville-west specifically, people have very mixed feelings on it but i personally love it to bits.

tv shows:

- black sails - anne and max’s storyline in black sails is the most visceral and lovely wlw story i’ve seen in tv or film… there are specific tws i would heed for max’s arc in the first season which i’d be happy to elaborate on, but their story is beautiful

- first season of killing eve is still unmatched 😔 second is still quite nice, if not as good. third is hm. the ending scene has whimsy to it. never watch the fourth.

things my gf loves that i still haven’t read/seen:

- portrait of a lady on fire - i just know it will Get to me so i’m waiting for the right mood to watch it

- this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar & max gladstone - same reasoning!

things i’ve started but haven’t had a chance to finish yet:

- little blue encyclopaedia (for vivian) by hazel jane plante - a beautiful (but sad, and also about grieving, hence it’s taking me a while) trans wlw story. quaint and quiet and wistful.

Winter 08: Dateless - Pt. 2 (34/64)

10. Klaus-Ove

As I'm writing this, Ruby is reading a book on my bed. She said since it's my last night at home, she wants to enjoy my company a bit longer. I don't mind it, but I did tell her I'm going to write in my journal! Because this afternoon, I met Klaus-Ove...

We agreed to visit the Art Gallery. Klaus-Ove is an artist himself, so it seemed like a good location.

Upon meeting, Klaus-Ove immediately showed interest in me and asked me how my day was. I thought that was kind.
