Finland 🇫🇮 | she/her
Just saw Creature edits with some of my fave Type O Negative songs (Wolf Moon & Be My Druidess) 🥹 Perfect 🌹

Things that have popped into my mind at random times today & have nearly ended me:

"We can be monsters together 🥺" after nearly stuttering because he's so nervous to ask Victor for a companion

Softly removing Elizabeth's gloves and looking at her like she's his entire life 🍁🧤

This film. 💔

There are many vanitas themes in Frankenstein (objects used as symbols of life's transience), but this moment made me think of my favorite artist Magnus Enckell's painting Boy with Skull (1893). There's a similar vulnerability & innocence in both, as both are bare, "newborn" creatures.

Saw some incredible art today! It's a Klimt exhibition but there are works by other artists as well, such as the Kiss of the Sphinx (1895) by symbolist Franz von Stuck – the painting is huge and so striking. My absolute favourite, even next to the Klimt pieces. ♥️

Have you seen the Peter Pauper Press Masterpiece Library Editions? They're so incredible beautiful (and affordable ♡). I know this reads like an ad, hehe, but I genuinely adore editions that look like antique books and have embossing and gold foil. 😭

These would be such a lovely gift, too!

Seeing Creature edits and going "I must give you forehead kisses". Feeding the deer? Patting his own head? The puppy eyes? The leaf? Baby. 😭

On Friday, the sun might come out for the first time in 24 days (I'm not exaggerating, though it did shine weakly through the clouds for half an hour ~two weeks ago). 🥹

I enjoy fall and gloomy weather but my body requires the sun a bit more than once a month. 😭

The Sun Yet Shines, I suppose. 💛

Just finished reading the companion book to del Toro's Frankenstein, and it's such a beautiful, detailed celebration of the work of everyone involved in bringing the film to life.

I don't know if it's the media/film studies major in me, but these detailed set access & art books are so dear to me. 🌹

Those who enjoy both The Rings of Power (season one, specifically) and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein may be interested to know that both feature the same costume designer: the wonderful Kate Hawley!

Hawley also worked on The Hobbit trilogy, which del Toro was originally set to direct.

I don't think I've shared it before, but I absolutely adore making diorama cards, and I usually (ok, always; I keep none) gift them. ♡

This one features an 1860s drawing of Karlstejn castle, and I was inspired by vintage Halloween cards, gothic media, & the alchemist's workshop I saw in Prague! 🏰🌹

Don't know if this has been making its rounds already and I've just missed it, but here's Jamie about why he joined The Rings of Power. 🥹 He gets it. 🤍

Yes, the very thing Anya Taylor-Joy is disgusted by. 😏

Frankenstein made me cry a lot, laugh a little, and appreciate the beauty & artistry of filmmaking when it manages to evoke a sense of pure wonder.

It's evident that del Toro has had this story in mind since he was little. There's such a loving attention to detail in every aspect of the film. 🤍

Earlier today I picked up what turned out to be a ✨️big boi✨️ book (I had to haul it home in pouring rain), and now I'm finally ready to watch Frankenstein! 🥹 I put together a snack plate, but we'll see how much I'll want to eat during the film considering I'm about to enter gore galore. ♡
November 7, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Trying to be normal about the fact that I'll watch Frankenstein this week. 🖤

Not that halloweeny or autumnal, but I felt like cooking something today (sadly a once in a blue moon thing)! Korean fried chicken waffles with gochujang sauce, honey & turkish yoghurt, and some zucchini and cauliflower on the side. Very filling!

I'm not great at cooking eggs, don't you laugh. </3

Well.. the sunshine lasted for half an hour but I got the needed 10 minutes of sun. 😏

Crossed paths with a little roe deer family on my morning walk. This curious bby stayed and stared at me. 🦌♡ This is the first day of sunshine in a good while, so this is already shaping up to be a good day. ˙ᵕ˙

New Witcher tomorrow just in time for Halloween/Samhain. 🍂 The Liam hate is so forced, I will happily be tuning in and seeing for myself. 😌 I'm mainly watching for them anyway. ❤️
October 29, 2025 at 5:19 PM
All these "this is your sign to see Frankenstein in the theatre" and "you have to see it in the theatre!!" videos.

Yeah, I'd go but our theatres haven't bought the rights to show any Netflix movies in theatres so it won't be coming here. 😭

I'll quit complaining, promise, but I needed to vent. 💔🥲

Some small treasures from Czechia. ♡ Handmade candle decorated with dried flowers (a little piece of the country's nature), porcelain deer figurine from an antique shop, labradorite palmstone from a gift shop inside the clock tower of Karlštejn castle 🏰, Art Nouveau in Prague book & Mucha goods. ♡
October 26, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Haven't seen the sun in 5 days now. Not even the smallest glimpse. 🥲
October 26, 2025 at 8:51 AM
Two weeks until I get to see Frankenstein (still beyond devastated it's not shown in theaters here – movies like these deserve to be properly seen) and will witness the true art of filmmaking without a trace of atrocious AI involved. 🌹

Blessed by the renaissance of gothic horror cinema. <3

Making fresh ginger tea at home and
pretending I'm still in Prague, since I drank a lot of it there. 😭 l'm now home and went straight to Helsinki book fair yesterday. :')

Got some precious & meaningful
little bits and bobs from Prague that I
thought I could show in a post maybe tomorrow. ˙ᵕ˙
