It's been...a day 😐

There were some nice bits, but I'd be lying if I said it was the best day out. The odds were not in my favour for so many things.

Happy Saturday 💜

I'm braving the rain for a day out at Warwick Castle 😁 there's a Christmas lights show in the evening, it should be a lot of fun.

Have a lovely day 😘

I'm going to a castle tomorrow, I'm very excited 😁

Watching Robin Hood has put me in the mood for it (it's not Nottingham Castle, namely because it doesn't exist anymore, but still..)

Day 28 ✍️

Free Friday/Do you collect anything?

Hardbacks of The Moomins books by Tove Jansson (and anything Moomins related tbh), and Kuromi memorabilia.

Pin badges too. If I hyperfixate on something, no doubt I'll get a pin badge of said thing

The Female Gothic seminar was super interesting! Very informative, I definitely walked out of there a little wiser 😁

I could talk about it for ages, but the crux of what I learned was: first wave gothic is feminist, whilst second wave gothic is an attack/backlash on said feminist writing 🖤

Day 27 ✍️

What are you thankful for?

Music, for being an endless source of happiness and inspiration, and for being my ultimate therapy.

The people I love, and those who love me back. I think I'm pretty unlikeable, so thank you for proving me wrong.

"A leaf? For me? Thank you." 🫀🍁

My contribution to the Frankenstein frenzy. The coveted leaf immortalised behind glass. Quotes from Elizabeth and the Creature, two mirror souls, finding themselves in one another.

*watching Robin Hood*

Yeah, I need Guy of Gisbourne to stop smirking, whisper commanding, and taking off his cunty gloves with his teeth before I fall in love with him..

Who am I kidding? It's Richard Armitage 😍
