Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-C’mon, stop slouching. Drink some water, take your meds.

-The Lurking Horror still doesn’t trust vacuum cleaners, even tho’ they’ve never run afoul of one.

Isn’t that interesting…

Siiiiiigh. You’re right. But it was A Lot!

It’s pretty. It’s insane.

Also, whomever the reviewer was that came up with (paraphrasing) “Heathcliffe is a fuckboi version of Mr. Rochester” was a genius.

I watched the recent Wuthering Heights movie today and … wow. That was a thing. Is it good? NO. Will it be an excellent background movie for when I’m working on a project? Yes.

(The set designs are beautiful. Margot Robbie’s costumes are insane.)

Hmmmmm. I searched, and the site is a reputable one for music marketing. ( orcd.co )

Paging the #fannibals ! Who was the person on Twitter who designed fabric to look like the red & charcoal of Hannibal's iconic suit AND fabric for the murder tie, and sold ties/bags/other things (flower crowns I think)? Are they still around? Are they still taking orders?

It's posts like this that make me suspect @edmondsscanner.bsky.social is actually run by my Dad.

Gothy window shopping: this is verrrrrry tempting. Plus it's made by my darling @leannareneehieber.bsky.social! (Go buy things from her Etsy shop!)

ME: I think we're safe to switch to calmer music. I THINK.

OOf, they are. That's the main reason I probably won't get to visit a park again.

The only problem with rereading The Mongoose and the Mouse is that it fills me with longing to go to a Disney park. I miss the Haunted Mansion SO MUCH.

The Mongoose and the Mouse - Hannibal takes Will to Disney World as therapy. Trust me, it's in character and works REALLY well.

Tonight is going to involve rereading a comfort fic. Help me decide! (You don't have to have read them or even be in the Hannibal fandom - just give me your opinion.) You have approximately 4 hours to cast your vote!

DANGER - THREAT LEVEL: MINISTRY HAS ARRIVED. REPEAT - THREAT LEVEL: MINISTRY (PSALM 69).

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
Blink a few times, have a snack, take your meds
Take care of your mortal shell, no matter how frustrating the process is
I had to take the glue gun away from the Lurking Horror. There was a discussion of why cryptid toddlers need adult supervision
