[cosmichorrorlesbians]

ohohoho tysm for the tag!

Last song: Mother by Florence + the Machine

Favourite colour: dark green, or maybe orange

Last book: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, reread for the fourth time. I'm very fine and normal btw. dont look at my blog.

Last TV show: Arcane as well!

Sweet/spicy/savoury: sweet

Last thing I googled: 'vegetables to put in stock' (the stock turned out really damn good)

Current obsession: the two-year DnD campaign I run for my beloved darling friends is my deepest and most enduring fixation and rotates constantly in my mind, but I am deep in an insane academic research spiral about The Haunting of Hill House on top of that.

Looking forward to: heading back for my hometown's Christmas fair at the weekend. visiting my best friend at his uni at the end of term. playing in person with my other ttrpg group for the first time soon. running the silt verses rpg next week. my girlfriend getting back into town tomorrow. the mango lime tart currently in my oven... the world is full of small wonders <3

too sleepy rn to tag people but feel free to join in if you want!

Get to know me tag! I was tagged by @picturemecountingcards (thanks :3) and I'm gonna tag @carbonated-olive-juice @origami-butterfly @yupokaysuremhm and @siltslut and honestly whoever else wants to do it!

Last song - According to Spotify I was listening to Life Itself by Glass Animals before I went to bed

Favourite colour - I don't really have one, but I enjoy warm colours, a nice orangy sunset pink is usually a safe bet

Last book - I've been halfway through Hummingbird Salamander by Jeff VanderMeer for a while now

Last TV show - I don't watch much TV, I honestly couldn't tell you, possibly This Country

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury - Savoury generally

Last thing I googled - Homophobic dog, to get this image

Current obsession - Shocking absolutely no-one, my current obsession is, in fact, WOE.BEGONE

Looking forward to - I have a doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks that I'm hoping will be fruitful

is the whole novel not just like the house? scenes that cut abruptly and leave you off balance, passages that twist into places that get you a little lost; much like the house always slightly tilted and put together just well enough to leave you uneasy and uncertain. or, i suppose, eleanor's mind ended up like that. we just got to see like how the others did

Pride Prints! (no watermark on Inprnt)

ok the last one isn’t exactly Pride but it is ironic and has the tagline of Aliens 1979 with a bisexual colored background.

Here’s to the people who read The Haunting of Hill House, The Exorcist, and watched Dracula’s Daughter.
