Quote
He had some taste for romance reading before he went to the university, where, we must confess, in justice to his college, he was cured of the love of reading in all its shapes; and the cure would have been radical, if disappointment in love, and total solitude, had not conspired to bring on a relapse.
Thomas Love Peacock, Nightmare Abbey

Gothic lit lovers, I implore you to read Nightmare Abbey by Thomas Love Peacock! I just finished it and it's oodles of fun - it came out the same year a Northanger Abbey (1818) and similarly, parodies the popularity of gothic literature at the time but with a slightly different approach. Peacock was friends with a lot of the romantic circle like Percy Shelley, Coleridge and Mary Shelley and does affectionate caricatures of the various individuals in the scene. Honestly, even if you're not familiar with their quirks, it's a really charming read!

David Longhorn - Nightmare #1-3
Links uz grāmatas Goodreads lapu Manas pārdomas Televīzijas šovus par pamestām, it kā spoku apsēstām vietām paskatīties reizēm ir interesanti, pat ja pats nemaz tik ļoti netici spoku vai kā cita pārdabiskā eksistencei. Uz to tad arī paļaujas Meta Makkeja producētais šovs, kaut arī reitingi kādu laiku ir gājuši uz leju, tādēļ uz Malpas abatiju tiek liktas lielas cerības, ka tā spēs sniegt gana…

Mrs Hilary, as they phrase is, was as fond of Marionetta as if she had been her own child: but - there is always a but on these occasions - she could do nothing for her in the way of fortune, as she had two hopeful sons, who were finishing their education at Brazen-nose, and who would not like to encounter any diminution of their prospects, when they should be brought out of the house of mental bondage - i.e., the university - to the land flowing with milk and honey - i.e., the west end of London.

I had a dream that they got the parasite out through Donnie’s eye but it kept multiplying into more and more 2012 Kraangs and they skittered everywhere and up the walls as they continued to multiply
That's absolutely terrifying and reminds me of baby spiders all hatching at the same time and I'm going to cry in arachnophobia now

Nightmare Nightmore Highlights.
I'm not gonna recap or analyze the episode too much I just wanna share a few of my favorite things! Not really any spoilers, if you've already seen the leaks of Abbey and her mom floating around then you're all caught up.
Draculaura is throwing a party for the holiday of Nightmore, but I couldn't possibly care less. I'm here for Abbey!
Tumblr media
Heath has the same reaction to seeing Abbey for the first time as a lot of us did. in Awe of her beauty. same dude, same.
Tumblr media
She towers over everyone! even the boys! I am in love!
Tumblr media
Draculaura is like a smurf compared to tall powerful Abbey.
Tumblr media
Abbey's eyes aren't purple anymore, they are brown! and so pretty! breaks up the abundance of purple in her hair and outfit I am super into it!
Tumblr media
Abbey's hair blend is the colors of the Bi flag and I have no choice but to stan.
Tumblr media
Mama Bominable threatening to bring forth a cold harsh merciless winter upon Bloodgoods head if she doesn't produce Abbey is such a mood. I love me a good mama bear.
Tumblr media
WHERE IS NIGHTMARE!? why is this messenger dragon hanging out in Bloodgood's office but her horse isn't!? The episode even has nightmare in the title but I see no Nightmare the horse. I don't like it. A headless horse person without their horse is just a zombie... why are you booing me? I'm right!
Tumblr media
Draculaura already has her license in this gen? I'm here for it! Also Clawd chose to sit next to her. Also Clawd said "nailed it like a coffin" which was only ever said in G1 by Clawdeen and that makes me happy.
Tumblr media
This is the second or third episode where Lagoona inexplicably has flat teeth, the music video for her doll did this too. I'm not exactly a professional animator but I've studied it enough to know that rendering characters off model is a fire-able offense. Fix it Nickelodeon.
Tumblr media
Heath encouraging Abbey to use her ice powers telling her she is strong, charismatic and beautiful. ahhhh! my heart!... I've mentioned on here I'm not much of a shipper per-se. But that was a lie, Habbey was one of my OG ships and it brings me such joy to see them again! I needed this since the only Heath we got during G2 was this:
Tumblr media
*Long suffering G2 sigh*
Tumblr media
Yeti's in this universe seem to basically be water benders and I am okay with that! Mama Bominable is fuckin pissed! LOL Bye Bloodgood it's been nice knowing you!
Tumblr media
Damn, Abbey's dad didn't contribute any genetics to that her at all. Mama Bominables genes were like "this is MY child!" I do love that she has horns and a more pronounced underbite, perhaps Abbey will get these traits as she grows? Or maybe her buns are hiding her horns? IDK but it's fun to imagine! I wonder where they got the idea to give their yeti Horns... HMMMMMMM
Tumblr media
it's a mystery, we'll never know.
Tumblr media
This isn't even a highlight I'm just taking pictures of Mama Bominabe at this point, I love a strong woman willing to murder the school principle for her daughters safety.
Tumblr media
SHE CALLED ABBEY SNOW ANGEL AHHHHHH- I'm sorry I just had to get that out.
Tumblr media
The boy is in love! .... And he actually says something really profound. I'm so impressed G3 is giving Heath some depth and not just making him a one note idiot... Don't get me wrong, I liked one note idiot Heath but there was more to him than that.
Tumblr media
Heath trying to kiss Abbey on the first day of meeting her is absolutely a G1 call back.
Tumblr media
in her intro episode he kissed her hand and his lips froze off.
I love everything about this episode! I love that Abbey is Nepali! it's way more accurate to her Monster type and before some nerd tries to get in the replies and go "Actually Russia occupied Nepal at one point" that's true, they did BUT! the myth of the Yeti originated in 1937, Russia didn't occupy the Himalayas until the 1960's.
This episode is my new favorite! I heard a rumor that we won't get any new Monster High episodes until after the new year, but if they are anything like this? they will be worth the wait!

Me: 'Why do I feel so.. empty?'
My brain: 'You've just finished your first real multichapter fic which took you half a year to write and it's the longest piece of fic you've ever written.'
Me: 'Oh.'
My brain: 'Now have fun fixing all the plotholes in it.'
Me: 'Fuck off.'
