I haven't even left the parking lot and I am in tears about leaving Dark Force Fest today.
I had so much fun.
I was loved and accepted in a way I didn't even know I needed right now.
I fucking LOVE my Goth Community.
I was like "what a oddly specific joke, haha"
Can’t believe I found out the pope died because of this fuck ass band
I was so excited to make Joe a Bone Daddy Suit FUUUUUUUCK
Thank you, instagram
Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:
1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.
2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.
3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.
4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.
5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.
6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

May this serve as my legal Will. I Authorize my tombstone/urn to bear the description "Aundrea, Never Heard, Rarely Listened To" to be etched upon my final resting vessel.
