Carmilla is like if every Dracula entry from Jonathon started with "My pal Dracula walked in and kissed me on the lips and told me he loves me with all his heart and would kill anyone who threatened me I wonder what that could mean?"

Ok I just finished reading 'Carmilla and Laura' by S D Simpler
And holy shit is this book good
It's an adaptation of the 1872 novella 'Carmilla' By J Sheridan Le Fanu and basically it's just Carmilla but waaaaay gayer and they have a happy ending
I cried a bit reading it ok
I don't won't make any spoilers so imma just say go read it, I highly recommend it, Carmilla and Laura is a great book

fellas, is it gay to be a damsell in the 1800s who is completely enchanted by a lady who is staying by your castle for a while, and to describe your relationship as a romance till she starts acting odd and you later find out she is a vampire who was sucking your blood?

reading carmilla is an experience because you'll read the most beautiful declaration of love you've ever encountered but then you remember this is a cautionary tale about the dangers of sexual perversions

perpetually torn between:
taking classic literature seriously and over analysing every detail so that I can deeply understand themes, motifs and references and absorb every poetic quote into my being OR treating classics as if they were just silly little stories about silly little gay people doing the most weird, unhinged and out of context shit ever (which they are)

"At least Glee gave us Brittana"
WRONG. Naya Rivera gave us Brittana, Glee never gave me anything but mental illness.
