no one besides me understands the acclaimed horror vampire series for 9 year olds cirque du freak the saga of darren shan by darren shan like i do . u all want to fuck mr crepsley but he is canonically ugly. u dont get it like i do like yes its funny vampire series but also its deeply devastating on so many levels and only i understand for why

#harkat mulds is my own personal blorbo #cdf #cirque du freak #my post #i mostly say this jokingly but also ive always felt a disconnect with the small fandom this series has had in the last ten years #maybe most of them read the manga before the og books or smth and that altered their perception #but smth abt the like . fanart and personification of the characters never sits correctly w me #like as someone who's been obsessed with it for 12 years amd revisits them frequently in my adult life i get smth out of it every skngle #time i reread it #it rly benefits from rereads tbh like esp as am adult bc u see so much that u missed as a kid that's disturbing abt them #like pjo is more popular and u know how we thought 12 yo saving the world was fine when we were at that age but as adults were horrified #like theyre babies. #i also think that in the like 20 years the series spans darren despite being physically still a kid v mich turns into an adult #like it almost reads more adult the further u go which is maybe intentional from darren the author seeing as he also writes adult fiction #anyway. im almost done w this reread and im mostly just like wtf i read this when i was 10 and steves out here murdering children like. #this shit altered my brain chemistry im sorry for the novel
