I'm so glad everyone's enjoying Dracula so this seems like the perfect time to bring up Carmilla

Carmilla is an 1872 novel by Sheridan Le Fanu and predates Dracula by 26 years. It inspired Bram Stocker to write Dracula! It's genuinely very well written and engaging (more so than Dracula, at least to me), and one of my favorite books.

But that's not the best part-the best bit is, that Carmilla is very very sapphic. It follows Laura, a teenager as she meets and falls in love with Carmilla, the vampire. Of course, other plot happens and the book has some really good quotes;

" '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! "

" 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. "

And Carmilla is what invented the whole lesbian vampire trope!

media that uses cannibalism and vampirism as an allegorical expression of desire, love, and hunger >>>>

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

God the women you put on earth to be sexy and read fanfic are being forced to work

“Cringe culture is dead” isn’t just about letting 15 year olds cosplay MHA (but is also an issue). It’s about letting 50 year olds dance at clubs even if they’re “bad at it”, it’s about letting 10 year old’s wear random bits of clothes to make an outfit that’s “weird”, it’s about letting adult men experiment with artsy makeup looks even when they’re “messy”, it’s about letting teens scream music even if they “sound bad”.

“Cringe culture is dead” means letting people learn new hobbies at any age, experiment with their identity at any time, expressing themselves in ways outside the norm just as much as it means let 20 year olds play roblox. 

Cringe culture is just social norms being forced on people rebelling against societies value consensus, it’s keeping people in brackets that are easier to market to. 

Let cringe culture be dead in every aspect of life outside online spaces.
