And diary, you'd think a girl whose mama died in childbirth, whose daddy gave her away to a mean old auntie who beat her 'cause no one said she couldn't, who died in a fire but came back by the blood magic of two demons, well, you'd think that girl wouldn't know what funny was. But you'd be wrong, diary. And if I told you, dumb diary, that that same girl was being raised to kill like her demon parents did, to take two souls a day so she could stay in the same flat-chested, hairless-crotched 14-year-old baby doll body as her mind and spirit turn 19, 20, 25, 63, 358, you dumb, dumb diary, I bet you'd say to anyone who'd listen, "Fun? Fun? How does she even get up in the morning?"

Cant get enough of the fullmoon. This morning the sky was covered with cirrostratus clouds which gave the moon a nice glow.

Honestly, I would have loved Sam's BeForever dress if

A) They made it look more detailed/historically accurate like the painting (I know the painting isn't actually historical - I believe it's one by Sandra Kuck who did a lot of artwork for collectible plates like this during the Victorian revival craze of the 80s/90s - but all the same, it looks 100 x better)

B) It wasn't meant to take the place of her original meet dress. I've seen some people complain about how it wasn't fancy enough for a wealthy girl at that time as opposed to the BeForever dress, but as an everyday dress, it makes sense that it would be something more sensible. Overdressing outside of special occasions was considered vulgar among the upper classes and that definitely feels like something Grandmary would have enforced.

I think once I finish my endless to-sew list, it would be a fun project to try to reimagine the dress to look more like the one on the left or even something like this (the clear inspiration for the actual dress, but without all the cheap shortcuts they took that made it look more 1950s than 1900s)

I found this plate at the thrift store and it’s the same dress. It’s the same fucking dress. WHAT
