Oh gosh, I made this design for a concert tee as a gift for my sister ages ago and never actually made a shirt with it for us.
But then whilst doing laundry I found a white t-shirt (that I probably bought for this very purpose) and was like, welp, now I have to. So I printed the transfer and then cut off the sleeves because I’m me.
THAT KIND OF REVIEW IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING THAT MOVIE WOULD GET AND IT MEANS EVEN MORE COMING FROM YOU (ONE OF MY TOP GOTH LIT/MEDIA SENPAIS) I AM SO PSYCHED!
Am I the only goth who is really uncomfortable with “Hannibal” due to the horrible transmisogyny in “Silence of the Lambs”?
I think you have to consider Silence of the Lambs was written in 1988 and the knowledge the general public had about transsexuals let alone their attitude towards them was a whole different ball game than it is today. Thomas Harris, for the crassness on how the subject is treated, does a decent job of explaining that being transsexual does not make one a serial killer considering the time era.
All great works of art are products of their time and will reflect that. You learn to acknowledge without it getting in the way of your enjoyment. Just like other great works of literature reflect the racist and sexist time era they were written in but that doesn’t devalue their significance.
“James Corden has once again managed to convince producers at The Late Late Show to let him have a go at another one. As part of his latest elaborate ruse to crack Broadway, the 36-year-old took on the role of the Phantom from The Phantom Of The Opera on Friday.
James stopped traffic in Hollywood as he screamed the lyrics from the show at the top of his lungs. At one point he was even seen hurtling across the road as he tried to make it back to the pavement before the cars moved off from the traffic lights. The Gavin and Stacey star wildly gesticulated from beneath his sequinned cloak as he applied himself fully to the dramatic performance”
Dad cracked a joke all the kids laugh
But I couldn’t hear ‘em all the way in first class
Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone
Where did I go wrong?
You are absolutely not a ‘nobody.’ Haven’t you noticed how I address my readers at almost every opportunity? “So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always; I love you; I wish you were here… in my arms.” My actual published words. I adore you. Silly fangirls, serious fangirls, silly fanboys, serious fanboys, agenderfans, even the ruthless critics, all!
These “Vampire Chronicles” are my life, laid out as honestly as possible for you. Perhaps in my search for goodness, I’ve already found it in sharing my stories. With you.
Do me a small favor, Anon: please give yourself some of the love you give to me. For the courage it took to write your message, and too many other reasons to list here, you deserve it.
I’ve explained this to another person like you… I’m an actor, as you know already, but beneath the performance must lie real substance, real experience, in order to engage with you, the audience. What good is the best performance from one of the greatest actors (ME) if there is no audience? You’re needed, every last one of you. Actors feed off their audience’s reaction, though the lines may be the same, it’s never the same show twice. Even when you read my books a second, third, fourth time around, you bring different life experiences of your own, and though the plot points are the same, your reaction to it is not.
What are my books but stories? And what are stories? Experiences in someone’s navigation of life, “Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer/The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,/ Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/ And by opposing end them…”
I have always wanted you to experience my journey, be my captive audience, and learn from my example, whether I was being “good” or “bad” (or somewhere in between). Perhaps you can learn to take arms against your sea of troubles the way I’ve done, or suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as I’ve suffered… more than one lifetime’s worth of both.
I know these stories have had an impact on you, on many. Have I saved lives? Like yours? I hope so. Killing evildoers is one way to save lives, writing is quite possibly another way. My autobiography had been intended for Louis, to give him everything I wouldn’t give him before that point. To save his life, if he was at all thinking he might end it. The fact that the novel touched so many lives in such a positive way made me want to share more. And more!
