But at the same time, the DIY patchworking of it all to understand this point in history with as much of a global perspective as possible feels right!
I love the ✨drama✨ of the gothic genre and I love history. and I love my mad scientist girl and the man she plans to attic-wife.

ONGOING PROJECT; #ROTWIP
A few years ago, I started writing a gothic horror novel. I wanted to explore the parasitic nature of colonialism through the POV of a Regency-era heiress of color (and see how far I could go with a Filipina-British protag).

this was why I signed up in the first place -- hoping for more details/stats on my mom's side, since it's difficult to track genealogical records beyond like the last 2 generations (colonialism).
the fact that I can look at census/church records going back centuries for my dad's side is 🥲🥲 brutal!
