Winona Ryder ( @wryderdie ) + Ryan Ross ( @ryanrosshq ) invite you to celebrate their engagement at THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT HOTEL in LOS ANGELES, CA on OCTOBER 1, 2023. The Hollywood Roosevelt dates back to the Golden Era. Located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the heart of Los Angeles, this iconic hotel reflects classic Hollywood in every sense. Built in 1927, the hotel has played host to stars like Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, and Clark Gable.  Not even death can keep many of those stars away now; Marilyn Monroe, the busiest ghost in the biz, supposedly haunts her old room (1200), where she lived as her fame grew. The apparition of silver-screen babe Montgomery Clift has been blamed for patting guests’ shoulders and watching maids in Room 928, where he stayed for three months while filming From Here to Eternity, and the ghost of Carole Lombard has also been spotted floating around the upper floors. In the Blossom Room—where the first Oscars were held—two ghosts have been documented: a presence of a tuxedoed man, and a presence of a man in a white suit. This place of luxury and Hollywood glamor is to be one of the most haunted hotels in Los Angeles. Refreshments and dining will be provided, and the couple will be honored to book rooms at the hotel for those who are traveling to celebrate their union. Guests are encouraged to bring swimwear should the party move towards the pool. RVSP

Oh my god bestie it just came to me,
Eddie is the Gomez to alt!reader’s MorticiA HELLOOOOO?????
i love the way your brain works, anon. but i would also like to suggest: alt!reader as elvira – because eddie's just borderline insane for her.
you know, i totally envision eddie and alt!reader as the "she fell first but he fell harder" trope. and that screams gomez!eddie to me!!! because when this boy falls in love, he is totally done for; worshipping the ground you walk on, absolutely mesmerized by your sole presence.
and he is so over-the-top about it all, too! being all about grand gestures, eddie isn't afraid of walking up to you in the middle of your shift to greet you with endless kisses all over; starting with your hand, he goes up your arm, tickling your neck until he reaches your cheek, only to leave the biggest and sloppiest kiss ever on the flushed skin.
even though he is not a particularly dark metalhead, i know that if you are goth (as in total darkness, lightning, bats), he would say the sappiest, most romantic, and dark shit ever to impress you, even though it usually ends up making you laugh – a reaction that he absolutely loves. "you're dearer to me than all the bats in all caves in the world", he would hold your face softly, brushing his thumb over your cheekbone while staring lovingly into your eyes. the declaration mixed with the playful smile that danced on his lips was enough to warm your chest just right, and you felt your heart flutter.
i would also like to add: "oh, don't torture yourself, eddie!", you'd say while rearranging some of the new releases, casting him a side glance. "that's my job". and now the boy is on his knees.

Dadfred & Babybat Headcanons...
Featuring y'all's lovely asks!! I have a bunch stocked up in the inbox that I ADORE but have been saving for one reason or another, so I'm gonna ramble about them!!
@sweetsoftysky said: dadfred and babybat drabbles, you could do alfred cleaning and brucie tryna help with those little kid brooms and vacuums and stuff, an just copying alfred
10/10 absolutely ADORABLE concept 🥺 Brucie always wants to help Alfred whatever way he can, so I can absolutely see him trying to tidy up!! I imagine he made a bit of a mess with real cleaning tools so Alfred got him some toy ones lol. I also think when Bruce is small but doesn't really realize it yet, he'll start copying Alfred to feel more "adult". It gets more obvious as Bruce regresses, first just copying his posture or general speech, but when he gets really small he'll copy whatever he does down to small hand gestures. Alfred thinks it's adorable. Bonus headcanon: Bruce experiences echolalia! He has it all the time but it's more noticable when he's regressed as he's not in such strict control of his speech. He'll repeat phrases Alfred says often or he'll immediately echo a word that catches him ("Aw, it looks like I have a little copybat, hm?" "copy bat copy bat :)")
Anon said: I saw a crib with the words you're dearer to me than all the bats in all the caves of the world and Alfred with most definitely have that in Bruce's nursery!
WAAAGH you have no idea the brain worms this ask gave me /pos. Ever since I got this ask I've been looking high and low for (free lol) room building applications so I can fully illustrate Bruce's nursery (this concept absolutely included!!). Recently I've been having Thoughts about Alfred and Bruce building a specific nursery for Bruce's regression together. Bruce is insistent that it's frivolous and he doesn't need one and it's actually Alfred who's campaigning for it. Mostly because he just likes a project! He likes to decorate and make things that aren't weapons! And it's also for Alfred's benefit, since he wasn't very involved in that kind of stuff when Bruce was actually a baby/toddler. He never got the full new baby experience so he wants to do it his way now that he knows what Bruce needs and likes. He just likes spoiling his child okay ajshsj. I think the phrase (which is an Addams family quote!) "You're dearer to me than all the bats in all the caves of the world" would be carved into headboard of Bruce's nursery bed, so he never forgets <3
Anon asked: bruce hiding behind alfred or alfred carrying sleepy bruce to bed?
So this was a request for a doodle (that I still might do lol) but it brings up one of my fave little Bruce things!! On the occasions that they go out while Bruce is regressed he can be very shy and he hides behind Alfred a lot. Once in a blue moon Bruce will regress at a party and go stick by Alfred in the staff rooms until he can go home. A lot of the service people for other gothamites have known Bruce since he was a kid, so they don't mind him being around when he's small. A lot of the time he just needs to be with Alfred, it's not as scary in the rooms with the staff so he doesn't necessarily have to leave. He'll sit by Alfred and hold his arm while he talks to his butler friends. He's usually too shy to greet them at first but by the end of the night he can muster a "bye bye :)". They all love him dearly. WAGH just the idea of big intimidating Bruce hiding behind Alfred makes me 🥹 he's baby for real!!!
This is only a few of y'all's lovely asks but I love every single one!!! I'm still saving some for drawings or ficlets or whatever (these included!!) but feel free to keep em coming!!

batty daddy ,
it's me ! the recent blood moon inspired me to do something i miss dearly : talk to you . well , it's not much of a conversation if it's one sided , but knowing you'd be more than willing to respond if this letter could reach you is enough !
first and foremost , i'm doing fangtastic ! the ghouls are with me , all of us and i'm happy to report that we're all safe in a little town called evermore . even coach is here with scooby and his friends ! it has a lot of charm , i think it would suit your taste . heh . i even have a job ! can you believe it ?! i'm working at this place called hotel transylvania and i love it ! i guess having to take care of the castle with you prepared me for something as big as a hotel , and being there makes me feel a little closer to home . it's like you're around , except we're not isolated from everyone else ...
speaking of isolation , i should tell you i've made lots of friends here . not all of them are human , but the ones that are aren't bad , just like mom would say ! i've grown used to hiding what i am , it's not easy but i know it's bat-ter this way . i have to make sure the ghouls are safe , which means i have to be safe as well . so they can rely on me .
dad , when you're with the others , even with mr. mehmi , do you ever feel scared ? sometimes i feel like i'm failing the ghouls , that i'm not a good example and miss grimwood would be disappointed . you'd be disappointed , too , and so would their dads . i wasn't lying when i said i'm okay , but i'm also scared , way more scared than a monster should be . i'm even scared of myself .
i'm in love . really , really in love . his name is diablo , he's not like us but he's not human either , and dearer to me than all the bats in all the caves in the world ! we go on night flights together ( he's a shapeshifter !!! the prettiest bird i've ever seen !!! ) and he even stopped wearing silver for me , but that was a long time ago . we've been together for almost four months now and i know i'll be with him for a long time . even after he's gone .
daddy , i don't want him to go away . i don't want to lose him like we lost mom . i don't want anything to take him from me like they took her from you and i'm scared . i haven't even told the ghouls about him because i know what they'll think ; we know how this ends and i'm batty for letting it happen . uncle bill ( he's also here ! ) called him my ' loyal walking bloodbag ' , i'd never felt more disgusted with myself .
i don't want to hurt him , dad . you never hurt mom , you did everything you could to protect her and even then , people took her from us . from you . i'm not as strong as you , not in the ways that matter ... i don't want to kill my boyfriend , and i don't want my friends to be disappointed in me either . most of all , i don't want to be alone . i know what it did to you , i know how hard it was for you to come back . what if i'm not strong enough ?
this is getting longer than it has to be , but i miss you so much . i talk to mom every night and ask her to watch over you . i know she's doing it from wherever she is . i can't wait to see you again .
oceans of love , your little sibella .
p.s.: my friend-boss mavis says her dad is also a "dracula" ... is there something you'd like to tell me ? i promise i won't judge , most people think you have three brides anyway !

The Addams Family in Florida & how I became a Goth
"You're dearer to me than all the bats in all the caves in the world." -Gomez to Morticia
Yup, you read that correctly - there is an episode of The Addams Family that takes place in Florida (full episode above). It's not the original b&w show from the 60's, but the cartoon that followed in 1973. The cartoon is terrible - I mercifully never saw it until recently. Nevertheless, the Addams Family in Florida is canon, which finally brings my favorite family within the domain of Florida Gothic.
Tumblr media
The premise of the cartoon is that the Addams clan has loaded up a motor home and are traveling about the country. While this opens up interesting plot opportunities, the execution leaves much to be desired. In this episode, they arrive at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and are targeted by a couple of con men, fly about in a rocket, and are staggeringly unfunny.
Tumblr media
The Addams Family first lurched onto the Saturday morning cartoon circuit via The New Scooby-Doo Movies when Scoob & the Gang meet the Addams Family in episode 3 of the series, "Wednesday is Missing".
Tumblr media
The New Scooby-Doo Movies are also pretty bad, but "Wednesday is Missing" at least boasts the main cast from the 60's TV show, John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Jackie Coogan, and Ted Cassidy, voicing their characters, plus the bonus of a young Jody Foster voicing Pugsley. Here's that episode as well, because if you watched all of the one above, you must enjoy suffering so help yourself to some more:
dailymotion
I'll revisit Scoob & the Gang later, since they also have a Florida episode. Anyway, someone at Hanna Barbera got the idea to spin the animated Addams assemblage from Scooby-Doo to it's own show where it somehow managed to run 16 episodes over 2 seasons before collective sanity was restored and it was canceled. Astin and Jones wisely passed on the series and only Coogan and Cassidy reprise their characters because money. There was some small amount of creativity involved, as their mobile home is cute. A coffin and a tombstone comprise the front of the vehicle, while the rest is styled to resemble the Addams mansion. It even has a tower with a permanent thunder storm over head and bats circling about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When they stop someplace where they'll be parked at for a while, a back hoe arm emerges and digs a moat complete with sharks and a drawbridge. I would have totally dug this souped-up set of wheels as a kid, but I still don't think I could have managed to watch an entire episode.
Tumblr media
That's about where the creativity ends and all that remains is cringe. With that out of the way, let's move along to my preferred iteration of The Addams Family:
Tumblr media
There are quite a few 'how I became a goth' videos on Youtube and blogs on Tumblr of late, and they're actually rather interesting. It's fascinating to see what path folks took to reach their particular dark aesthetic, but it got me to thinking what it was that lead *me* down said path. Unlike many others who were first entranced by goth music's siren song, my path was a bit different. I was first seduced to the dark side by this irresistible goth beauty:
Tumblr media
Reruns of The Addams Family aired 5 days a week in the late 70's and were conveniently on right after I got home from school. I had just enough time to settle in, and then da, da, da, dum, snap, snap. I wanted the Addams clan to be *my* family. My own family was perfectly normal and average, although I already wasn't, and this show reinforced the wasn't. Morticia imprinted herself upon my mind with the skill of Wozniak programming an Apple II. All my girlfriends have been Morticia - dark hair, pale skin, penchant for black clothing, creepy, kooky, ooky, and prone to sword fights in the living room. Well, perhaps not that last part. I also watched re-runs of The Munsters, and while I liked that show, too, it never struck the same chord within me as The Addams Family did. For a delightful while, perhaps an entire year, one was on right after the other. Cool, right?
Tumblr media
So there I am, an impressionable youth immersing himself almost daily in this strange black & grey world of harpsichord music, baroque decor, and gothic beauty. Why, it was almost as if I were being pre-programmed for:
Tumblr media
And that, is how I became a goth.
