Moreno-Garcia: and now lives in this big creepy house in the boonies with his weirdly english family
Moreno-Garcia: being weirdly english
Moreno-Garcia: so the mexican woman from the big city has to deal with these weird secluded in-bred white people
Lovecraft: what kind of topsy turvy world is this
Lovecraft: up is down, black is white
Lovecraft: i just don't know what to believe!
Moreno-Garcia: these english people, let me tell you
Moreno-Garcia: they love to just sit around, being mopey, eating shitty english food, refusing to mix with the locals, formulating weird race science theories
Lovecraft: i really don't see the problem
Mary Shelley: sup fuckers

Shelley: oh damn i take it back
Shelley: that IS gothic
Lewis: that's hard core
Radcliffe: TWO dead wives?!??!
Moreno-Garcia: and there's a family plot that's got marble busts of the dead wife
Shelley: oh hell yeah that's the way to do it

If YouTube exists in the early 1800s, I will pay big money to see:
Jane Austen
Lord Byron
Dr James Barry
John Keats
William Wordsworth
Percy Bysshe Shelly
The Brothers Grimm
Anne Lister aka Gentleman Jack
Eliza Hamilton
React to Thomas’ poems. Also I like to see these fictional people who would be alive at the same time as Thomas react to his poems:
Dr Henry Morgan from abc forever
Horatio Hornblower
Richard Sharpe
The bridgerton and featherington families

Midnight Pals: Horror for Her
Mary Shelley: sup fuckers time pack it in!
Poe: what's going on?
Shelley: haven't you heard? there's a new kind of horror in town!
Shelley: it's called cozy horror!
Shelley: and this one's just for us girls!
Tabitha King: yeah!
Shelley: the gals got together and we decided
Shelley: we're all tired of your bullshit
Shelley: so we invented a special kind of horror
Shelley: Horror -- For Her (tm)
Tabitha King: yeah!
Shelley: a kinder gentler kind of horror for the ladyfolk
Shelley: [flipping switchblade] and if you don't like it, i'll fucking cut you
Shelley: in the face!
Tabitha King: yeah!
Angela Carter: now that the women are in charge
Carter: who's going to tell the first cozy horror story
Carter: Tabitha?
Tabitha King:
Carter: Anne?
Anne Rice:
Mary Shelley:
Carter: Mary?
Shelley: i don't actually know what cozy horror is
Tabitha King: oh thank god someone else said it
Carter:
Carter: really, mary.
Shelley: i just wanted to push around those nerds a bit
Carter:
Shelley: come on, they like it!
Carter: well girls according to the discourse
Carter: cozy horror is horror without explicit gore
Anne Rice: oooohhhh ok yeah i can do that
Tabitha King: sure that works
Mary Shelley:
Carter: Mary?
Shelley: hold on
Shelley: i'm thinking this ain't such a hot idea after all
Carter: hold on there's more
Carter: it's horror without explicit gore
Carter: it's also cartoons with a horror aesthetic
Carter: so it's a sub-genre that encompasses Rosemary's Baby but also Scooby Doo
Carter:
Carter: i think we might need to workshop this one a little more
Stephen King: boy the girls are really going all out for this cozy horror
Patricia Highsmith: ugh, who can fathom them dames, huh?
Highsmith: always doing their horror of domesticity thing

I originally listed Anthony Trollope but cut him in favor of Oscar Wilde for reasons (Wilde is better, imo). So, if your favorite 19th Century English Lit author isn't listed, you can yell at me in the comments, or reblogs, or through an ask.
