When your gf is a vampire

[silliest-moth-in-the-park]

tbh I would probably become a little unstable too if some family acquaintances murdered my girlfriend just because she’s a vampire

[alicesbread]

Hear me out. Carmilla and everything is still the same except her cat characteristics are much more highlighted in her human form. Her pupils dilatate and contract a lot, she can growl when very angry, she curls in a ball to sleep, she cuddles Laura like a cat asking to be stroked-

[booksandbesitos]

Not to be insane but Danny and Laura was actually a REALLY cute ship. Like I love carmilla and Laura but the seduction eyes bit in episode 15 is so like ahhhhh cute!?!?!?!

CARMILLA KARNSTEIN HEADCANONS (BOOK)

Warning: Here I will write some headcanons that I thought about Carmilla (from the book, not from the webseries). Also, english is not my native language, so may have here some gramatical slips (so please be gentle with me!). That's my first autoral post! Saying this, let's begin!

1. Carmilla has a HUGE obsession with dolls. She has a dollhouse colletion with inumerous dolls. Her favorite is a doll that's she named Elizabeth, she is ginger with blue eyes and dresses a florid dress.

2. Carmilla writes loveletters to Laura A LOT, but she never show any of them to her. She wishes to show to her someday, because Carm loves to demonstrate all her love and affection for Laura. She fears that Laura reject her.

3. Carmilla favorite colors is: red, black and purple.

4. Carmilla loves music and dance, especially waltz. She loves music so depleely that she asks for her Mother for piano lessions. Obviously, she fell in love completly for the instrument.

5. Carmilla loves cats, especially black cats. She adopted one when she was in Paris and called him Hades.

6. Carmilla loves to travel. Her favorite vacation destinys are Paris, London and Florence.

7. Carmilla likes to sleep a lot and HATES when someone wake her for some reason (except Laura).

8. Carmilla takes a lot of care of her hair (which is very long and wavy, almost reach her hips).

9. Carmilla don't believe in God since she turned into a vampire.

10. Carmilla is a Scorpio and her birthday date is October 24th.

11. Carmilla have a deep depression. Laura don't understand her humor instability, but tries to care for Carm and make her feel better.

12. Carm feels a deep guilty for hurt and kill other people for her own surviving as a vampire. She wishes never hurt anyone, especially Laura.

13. Carmilla loves chocolate, cakes and candies. And by the way, Laura bakes a lot of them for her lovely vampire.

14. Carm is a polyglot. She knows english, french and german fluently (german is obviously her native language).

15. Carmilla loves to flirt with Laura, besides praising her. She adores when Laura's cheecks turn red when she praise her pink lips or her beautiful blonde hair. And of course, asks for Laura to kiss her when they are alone.

So guys, I'm finishing this post here! Maybe later I will post more, if I remember because my memory is not the best and I am a very distracted person! If you like this post, please like or reblog.

i just read the original Carmilla novella and my three take aways are:

it literally cannot be overstated how explicitly sapphic it is straight up like it's not even subtext

shockingly the Carmilla series is an astoundingly accurate adaptation

more vampire novels should utilize the vampire rule that a vampire can only use names that are anagrams of their original name

Homoeroticism in Carmilla:

- Laura about Carmilla: "[Her face] was pretty, even beautiful"

- Laura about Carmilla: "Her smile had softened. Whatever I had fancied strange in it, was gone, and it and her dimpling cheeks were delightfully pretty and intelligent."

- Laura about Carmilla: "I took her hand as I spoke. I was a little shy, as lonely people are, but the situation made me eloquent, and even bold. She pressed my hand, she laid hers upon it, and her eyes glowed, as, looking hastily into mine, she smiled again, and blushed. She answered my welcome very prettily."

- Carmilla to Laura: "I saw you - most assuredly you - as I see you now; a beautiful young lady, with golden hair and large blue eyes, and lips - your lips - you as you are here. Your looks won me; I climbed on the bed and put my arms about you, and I think we both fell asleep."

- Laura about Carmilla: "She sighed, and her fine dark eyes gazed passionately on me. Now the truth is, I felt rather unaccountably towards the beautiful stranger. I did feel, as she said, 'drawn towards her', but there was also something of repulsion. In this ambiguous feeling, however, the sense of attraction immensely prevailed. She interested and won me; she was so beautiful and so indescribably engaging."

- Laura about Carmilla: "She held me close in her pretty arms for a moment and whispered in my ear, 'Good night, darling, it is very hard to part with you, but good night; tomorrow, but not early, I shall see you again.' She sank back on the pillow with a sigh, and her fine eyes followed me with a fond and melancholy gaze, and she murmured again, 'Good night, dear friend.' Young people like, and even love, on impulse. I was flattered by the evident, though as yet undeserved, fondness she showed me. I liked the confidence with which she at once received me. She was determined that we should be very near friends. Next day came and we met again. I was delighted with my companion; that is to say, in many respects. Her looks lost nothing in daylight - she was certainly the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, and the unpleasant remembrance of the face presented in my early dream, had lost the effect of the first unexpected recognition."

- Laura about Carmilla: "She was slender, and wonderfully graceful. Except that her movements were languid - very languid - indeed, there was nothing in her appearance to indicate an invalid. Her complexion was rich and brilliant; her features were small and beautifully formed; her eyes large, dark, and lustrous; her hair was quite wonderful, I never saw hair so magnificently thick and long when it was down about her shoulders; I have often placed my hands under it, and laughed with wonder at its weight. It was exquisitely fine and soft, and in colour a rich, very dark brown, with something of gold. I loved to let it down, tumbling with its own weight, as, in her room, she lay back in her chair talking in her sweet low voice, I used to fold and braid it, and spread it out and play with it."

- Laura about Carmilla: "But no matter what my tactics, utter failure was invariably the result. Reproaches and caresses were all lost upon her. But I must add this, that her evasion was conducted with so pretty a melancholy and deprecation, with so many, and even passionate declarations of her liking for me, and trust in my honour, and with so many promises that I should at last know all, that I could not find it in my heart long to be offended with her. She used to place her pretty arms about my neck, draw me to her, and laying her cheek to mine, murmur with her lips near my ear, 'Dearest, your little heart is wounded; think me not cruel because I obey the irresistible law of my strength and weakness; if your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours. In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die - die, sweetly die - into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of the cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me and mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit.' And when she had spoken such a rhapsody, she would press me more closely in her trembling embrace, and her lips in soft kisses gently glow upon my cheek."

- Laura about Carmilla: "In these mysterious moods I did not like her. I experienced a strange tumultuous excitement that was pleasurable, ever and anon, mingled with a vague sense of fear and disgust. I had no distinct thoughts about her while such scenes lasted, but I was conscious of a love growing into adoration, and also of abhorrence. This I know is a paradox, but I can make no other attempt to explain the feeling."

- Laura about Carmilla: "Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and hold it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my face with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so fast that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration. It was like the ardour of a lover; it embarrassed me; it was hateful and yet overpowering; and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips travelled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, 'You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one forever.' Then she had thrown herself back in her chair, with her small hands over her eyes, leaving me trembling."

- Carmilla to Laura: "Sit down here, beside me; sit close; hold my hand; press it hard - hard - harder."

- Laura about Carmilla: "She looked languidly in my eyes, and passed her arm round my waist lovingly, and led me out of the room."

- "She rose, and each with her arm about the other's waist, we walked out upon the pavement. In silence, slowly we walked down to the drawbridge, where the beautiful landscape opened before us. 'And so you were thinking of the night I came here?' she almost whispered. 'Are you glad I came?' 'Delighted, dear Carmilla,' I answered. 'And you asked for the picture you think like me, to hang in your room,' she murmured with a sigh, as she drew her arm closer about my waist, and let her pretty head sink upon my shoulder. 'How romantic you are, Carmilla,' I said. 'Whenever you tell me your story, it will be made up chiefly of some one great romance.' She kissed me silently. 'I am sure, Carmilla, you have been in love; that there is, at this moment, an affair of the heart going on.' 'I have been in love with no one, and never shall,' she whispered, 'unless it should be with you.' How beautiful she looked in the moonlight! Shy and strange was the look with which she quickly hid her face in my neck and hair, with tumultuous sighs, that seemed almost to sob, and pressed in mine a hand that trembled. Her soft cheek was glowing against mine. 'Darling, darling,' she murmured, 'I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so.'"

- Carmilla to Laura: "You do not know how dear you are to me, or you could not think any confidence too great to look for. But I am under vows, no nun half so awfully, and I dare not tell my story yet, even to you. The time is very near when you shall know everything. You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me and hating me  through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature."

- Laura: "Carmilla became more devoted to me than ever, and her strange paroxysms of languid adoration more frequent. She used to gloat on me with increasing ardour the more my strength and spirits waned."

- Laura about Carmilla: "She beckoned me to her with her pretty finger, in silence. Her face expressed extreme fear. I ran to her in an ecstasy of joy; I kissed and embraced her again and again.”

- General Spielsdorf about Carmilla: "In the meantime the young lady, whom her mother called by the odd name of Millarca, when she once or twice addressed her, had, with the same ease and grace, got into conversation with my ward. She introduced herself by saying that her mother was a very old acquaintance of mine. She spoke of the agreeable audacity which a mask rendered practicable; she talked like a friend; she admired her dress and insinuated very prettily her admiration of her beauty. She amused her with laughing criticisms upon the people who crowded the ballroom, and laughed at my poor child's fun. She was very witty and lively when she pleased, and after a time they had grown very good friends, and the young stranger lowered her mask, displaying a remarkably beautiful face. I had never seen it before, neither had my dear child. But though it was new to us, the features were so engaging, as well as lovely, that it was impossible not to feel the attraction powerfully. My poor girl did so. I never saw anyone more taken with another at first sight, unless, indeed, it was the stranger herself, who seemed quite to have lost her heart to her."

I love how many people were willing to tell Laura that ‘the world doesn’t revolve around your star-crossed romance with your broody vampire lover and people you care about get hurt when you forget that’ and I wish that more people got to say that to Buffy in seasons 2 and 3 of btvs (and those ats episodes that she was in). I don’t think it would’ve changed anything really but it would’ve been nice to see.

Chapter 10 is Here :)

Chapter 10 of Guest House is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37094209/chapters/121687099

““I love it when you do that.” Laura’s voice broke through her reverie and she realised that Laura had been watching her. “What?” Carmilla asked. “Bite your lip.” Laura replied. She reached her hand out and stroked Carmilla’s bottom lip, pulling it down gently, from behind her teeth.”

I hope you enjoy! Also ummm I made this gif^ and it’s the first time I ever made a gif and clearly it’s because I’m a gay little gremlin but there you go.

Vampire month continues with Marika making the gang talk about the first season of Carmilla the web series, the 2014 Canadian adaption of the novella of the same name. It was a very specific, very tumblr moment on the internet for Marika. Cal and Bret find it... fine. Cal makes comparisons to Baldur's Gate and Bret has seen as a lot of SyFy original programming.

Does anyone else have the very specific problem where certain songs have REALLY strong emotional associations for you because of character/ship edit videos on youtube? 

For example, for me there’s two that are really strong: 

1. shut up and dance by walk the moon was used in a carmilla and laura edit and I will never forget it but I can’t find the edit anymore

2. when she loved me was used a Willow/Tara edit that i saw and words cannot describe how that will literally be ingrained in my brain and soul for forever goodbye

CARMILLA: THE LOVE OF THE DEAD on Second Life

My Dear Friends...

October is upon us, which means It's time for a very special announcement.

I have been working on the first 'expansion pack' to my Castle Dracula Experience on Second Life, a new storyline based on another classic of gothic literature to immerse yourself in this Halloween season. Last year we debuted with Bram Stoker's Dracula, this year it's time to celebrate the work of Sheridan LeFanu, and a vampire story that helped inspire Stoker and hundreds of other works of fiction since.

CARMILLA: the Love of the Dead is a tale of gothic romance and dread entwined with the events of the original 1872 novella. Follow the missing Laura on her quest to discover the fate of the alluring and terrifying Carmilla, and explore new interactive story incorporating not only the words of the original story, but more puzzles, scares, and drama than ever before.

In the meantime, the original Castle Dracula Experience is very much still open - so feel free to come by and explore the Castle alone or with your friends! Happy Spooky Season, my dear batlings! COMING (VERY) SOON!
