Gothic kicks ass. Poor doomed Richardson and Sands as the poor doomed Shelleys, Byrne as Byron, Timothy Spall, and a demonic laudanum nightmare at Villa Diodati. Gorgeous, but Dolby’s score is a weird match.

this still from bride of frankenstein always gets me because it just captures their vibe perfectly. mary's ethereal charm and serious deadpan expression like she's on the office. byron with his hand on his hip, cock on full display, and the most dramatic collar ever. shelley with his legs crossed and his adorable wrinkled bow. how they kind of look like they could be trying to hold hands behind mary's back. truly an honorable contender for best geneva squad casting

Watching the Doctor Who Series 12 Closer Looks with Jodie bringing up the Doctor losing Bill, can’t believe people claimed she knew nothing about what happened previously on Doctor Who just making up bad faith arguments to slander such a good person actually makes someone a really shit person. She frustrated by the way people treated Jodie so unfairly with ‘facts’ that only existed in their own heads.

From the Haunting of Villa Diodati

i love you houses that confound and mislead. i love you the doctor falling into an inevitable trap despite jack’s forewarnings because she was always going to give the lone cyberman what he wanted, the story could never have transpired any other way. i love you unhinged threatening thirteen so full of compassion for a single historical figure that she risks the future fate of history itself to save his life — that’s the most doctor-y decision she’s ever made, short term kindness over long term heroic sweeping gestures no matter where that leads, no matter who it sacrifices (and it’s morally questionable in the utilitarianism vs personal feelings way; similar to some of twelve’s moral dilemmas, not in the shallow ass “guns are bad so we’ll just suffocate these spiders to death” way). i love you hyperbolic-but-accurate portrayals of the geneva squad authors and co. i love you the implied possibility of ghosts being real. i love you thirteen asserting her authority and committing a sneaky little telepathic time lord atrocity (showing percy shelley his death which incidentally gives a fictional explanation to his real-life obsession with death by drowning, which eventually led to his death by drowning. i digress) — something she hasn’t been given the opportunity to do before. i love you cybermen-as-the-inspiration-for-frankenstein. i love you “she was the universe”. i love you claire clairmont standing up for herself and realising what a manipulative prick byron was to her. i love you the haunting of villa diodati

My bullet journal for November. Did something a little different this time.

If youve been following me for a while then you'll know i love Mary Shelley and her contemporaries, especially those who were with her at Villa Diodati in the summer of 1816. But in the last week or so i've been particularly drawn to them. I read The Villa by Rachel Hawkins which is partly inspired by the Villa Diodati gang and havent stopped thinking about them since.

Doing a Romantic Era poets theme has been in the back of my head for a while but this is the first time i've actually thought of a way to do it and i'm pretty happy with how its turned out! Each week will feature a different member of the group but of course Shelley herself had to be first!
