i can’t believe there are people who live in such historically rich places like italy or scotland or greece or paris with old architecture and ruins and museums… the audacity.

What happened to vintage garden parties!! Where are the ivories and sage greens!! Cakes and scones with tea on silver trays!! Fresh flowers and tents with those triangle-lined banners!! Light coloured suits with pale pastel ties and lacy dresses!!! The small quartet playing Gentle music!! Someone I can be gay with behind the rose hedge while everyone wonders where I wandered off to??? Who took this away????!!!??

“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov (via notesfromtheundergroundman)

Jekyll and Hyde, yikes
tag yourself ; gothic literature edition
Frankenstein: The great outdoors, half-read books, unorthodox ideas, pencil sketches, easily frightened, contemplates existence a lot, dislikes winter
The Picture of Dorian Gray: Old bookshelves, bold fashion choice, loud laughs, philosophical conversations, kisses on the hand, can be a dick sometimes, loves new languages but never commits
Dracula: Red lipstick stains, white billowy dresses, always cold to the touch, flickering candles, has eye circles, wants to believe in ghosts, only likes religion for the aesthetic
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: Filled notebooks, foggy evenings, afraid of failure, oversized clothing, secretive whispers, stays up too late, bottles up emotions
The Phantom of the Opera: Rose petals, old perfume, being an overdramatic bitch, sings to self, handwritten letters, snowy nights, secret spaces

I want nothing more than to be a young man in the late 1700s, going on walks through the woods with fine young ladies and staring wistfully into the distance at any given chance.
#1700s#courtship#we are so boring these days#give me a damn poet shirt#romanticism#long letters to our betrothed in cursive writing are cool too I guess

I would pray for her poor liver
Imagine Valkyrie’s response to that ever filling beer mug that Strange gives Thor.
