[coquettishly] I hear your leitmotif incorporates the theme of the enemy empire
Me [stirring the melting ice cream into my tea]: soup :)

No, the two thin red lines on my shoulder are not scratches left by an overly enthusiastic vampire bat; I carried a heavy grocery bag yesterday and I am Delicate

[trying to think of something relatable to post] Prince Gremin's aria hits harder if he turns sharply to Onegin after delivering the final line, revealing he does understand the threat after all

Not now babe, my favorite Russian boy snuck a bit of Jekyll & Hyde into his performance of Epiphany from Sweeney Todd and now I'm thinking about how the way in which the world shatters us shapes the mask we wear to survive in it

Accidentally made eye contact with a guy who was in the midst of a devilish smile while talking on the phone. Sir what are we

Unfortunately I've discovered that my velvet leggings (plaid, christmas-y, commercial) are warmer than my other velvet leggings (royal blue, coordinating, élégant)

"Let's play house 🥰" but the house is haunted. Our laughter fills the kitchen, but the floorboards creak upstairs. We ignore it until we can't. Drawers slammed by hands unseen, cups thrown, knives thrown. To the basement, we agree, frantic. This is not an allegory. We're still down here. Send help

A perfume that smells like the whir of a cassette tape before the audio starts, black coffee at 11 pm, a box of scrawled notes written in faded ink, a half-eaten doughnut, and the urge to look out the window into the darkness, just in case

Am I to be forced to deal with a new Outlook icon on top of everything

I dreamed I wrote a post that went extremely viral, but unfortunately I can't remember what it was--when I tried to look at it in my dream, the original post wouldn't load and all I could see were the comments. I'm sure this means... something

[already wearing two sweaters] let me go put on my sweater

A perfume that smells like the gentle click clack of knitting needles, tinny voices from an old radio play, too much berry jam heaped onto scones, and the whistle of a kettle about to boil

Can I get an awoo

A perfume that smells like waking up to soft sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, the pages of an aged book still open on your bedside table, floorboards smudged with chalk traced in peculiar patterns, and the familiar smile of an old friend

I stay correct

As soon as I have lunch. I'm going to see whether the vampire ballet nightmare in Tanz der Vampire really is as directly inspired by the Oklahoma dream sequence as I think it is

Seeing Oklahoma for the first time since childhood is wild. I thought it was all corn fields and relationship rivalry, but the actual text is like,

Curly: I'm gonna go talk to that incel
Curly: hey Judd. nice porn

Me: what even are my hobbies

Also me [10 seconds into a Russian Edgar Allen Poe musical]: wait do they not have an idiomatic translation of "nevermore"

Ladies, before settling down with a high priest whose ambitions stray from the holy, ask yourself: does he want to sacrifice *with* you? Or does he want to sacrifice you? If you're not sure, you're the lamb. Stay safe out there ladies
