The Carmilla ending was truly riveting

A little bit of daily quarrel.

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

Thinking about how by putting Mircalla Karnstein's portrait into her room that night, Laura invited Carmilla into her room. For three months, Carmilla had never entered Laura's bedroom at night.

Thinking about how Carmilla reacted to this in melancholy, speaking in sobs of Laura dying for her, and kissing her under the moon (which Laura says happily that it looked exactly like when they first met). Whispering to Laura, this is our last night like this.

“Darling, darling. I live in you, and you would die for me. I love you so.”

The prologue to Green Tea specifies that the story took place 64 years ago, making me wonder if that's also the case for the other stories in In a Glass Darkly. If so, Carmilla would be set in 1808... so here are some regency era Carmillas 🩸

Carmilla and Laura by Misu Fany

[thegoatsongs]

Carmilla arrived in the summer. However, it took almost three months before Carmilla actually bit Laura for the first time to begin turning her into a vampire, taking the lives of more and more young women during those months. So many that the villages are convinced there is a mysterious plague. Her blood resources are depleted.

Despite usually being energetic during the night, Carmilla was now beginning to look weak and tired all the time. She was very languid while they were inspecting the Countess Mircalla portrait together, and after kissing Laura in the garden, she got weaker and drowsier. Laura panicked that Carmilla might have also caught the plague.

Which supports the theory that Carmilla has been delaying Laura's transformation as much as possible. She was enjoying the sweetness, being together with a loving, happy, smitten Laura all summer long. But she can no longer stall. Her Mother is coming. Her very image was invited in the bedroom. Hence her sobbing lament "Darling darling, I live in you, and you would die for me, I love you so." and “Let us look again for a moment; it is the last time, perhaps, I shall see the moonlight with you.” The honeymoon must end.

Autumn is coming, and the General who is after his niece's guest and killer has promised to visit Laura's father in autumn...

"When will we get a Carmilla adaptation-"

WE ALREADY HAVE ONE

Carmilla (2020) Written and Directed by Emily Harris (her feature directorial debut)

[ariannafarricella]

Carmilla and Laura!

After 6 years, I wanted to see how my style is changed with drawing them.

Also, I admit, I miss them quite a lot.

Del Toro and Eggers are incredible directors yes however I'll be real I'd not really fully trust either for a Carmilla adaptation. For the Phantom of the Opera yes but Carmilla in particular needs a dyke into Hannibal who's done with sanitized sapphic romances.
