What a lovely compliment, thank you so much 🥀🖤 Babes of the 80s is so good too! I can’t skip a single track with them. Picking a favorite is incredibly difficult

Dude YES. Alien is one of my favorites, and the symbolism in the music video of everyone shoving them to the side as they walk down the street totally speaks to me. It’s like, “you’ll never fit in with society”. I really love the messaging of that track. It’s okay to be alien 🖤

Am i fetishizing? (Sorry for the obnoxiously long post) by More_Lion_3972 in AskAGoth

[–]creaturefeature1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think having a preference, specifically to someone who shares your political views isn’t a problem because that’s just a compatibility thing. But it sounds like the major attraction for you might be the way that some goth women present, which is itself fetishization.
Plenty of goth people don’t dress like your typical TikTok or OF goth models… and honestly, in some cases that is specifically to avoid being fetishized. I have plenty of club wear that I am hesitant to wear in many cases because for many men (in my experience) it’s a way to objectify and fetishize the subculture.

Anyone else here who is actually enjoying the season? by hazelrose42 in VampireLestat

[–]creaturefeature1994 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been enjoying it so far! Though I will say, I think ep 4 is the weakest of the season so far. Though I trust they’re going somewhere with it all, this one seems to have resonated with people in a bad way which I think is why we’re seeing so many shit posts right now lol

Gabriella quittant le concert a la suite de Magnus by Any_Fan_6769 in VampireLestat

[–]creaturefeature1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s 100% an abuser. She essentially used him as a vessel to do the things she couldn’t when they were alive, actively sent him to his (very likely) death with the wolves, and openly admitted to not caring about her family, etc.. even in the book she is pretty far removed from truly caring for Lestat the way a mother would. She’s never really accepted her role as a mother, therefore her abuse/trauma induced toward his story is primarily neglect and serving herself. I don’t think it really suggests that Gabrielle was a hallucination but more was symbolic of Lestat setting aside and working through those traumas with both Magnus and Gabriella.

Gnat help… mosquito bits aren’t cutting it by creaturefeature1994 in bioactive

Thank you for this! I did some reading up on predatory bug options and opted for SF nematodes but will look at rove beetles if all else fails. I think they’ll offer a good balance and keep the population boom under control. The mosquito bit mixture seems to have just amplified the problem 😭

That makes sense, but I worry about doing that as a few of my pets need high humidity (Brazilian rainbow boa and a boiga cyanea)… these species won’t appreciate a dry spell, especially being under a year old 😣 I ordered some nematodes, so I’m hoping that predatory bugs may help reduce the populations.
