“Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds… true love?”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula.
I'm very happy with my new copy of Dracula, it's very stunning. 🖤
Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :
The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !
I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️
quotes from my favorite books:
"You are whoever they want you to be. You are more than enough, because you are not real. You are perfect, because you don't exist...They look at you and see whatever they want. Because they don't see you at all." -The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
"I love you- I do- but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because you're always going to leave me, A. We can't deny it. You're always going to leave." - Every Day by David Levithan
"In French, there’s a phrase for the random urge to jump from high places, the irrational desire to swerve into traffic despite imminent destruction: l'appel du vide, the call of the void. Those sudden feral impulses tend to be shoved away immediately, but humans still experience them. What if you jumped? What if you touched the fire? What if?...When I looked at him, staring at me, the void called." - Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux
"The day you stole from me was the best day of my life...Because then you became my life, and I don’t want it back. I won’t fucking take it." - Does it Hurt? by HD Carlton
"She made her choice. And now she is bound to a steel bed with a needle in her arm and a smile on her face. She is happy. But that doesn’t mean it was the right choice. It also doesn’t mean it was the wrong one...What would you abandon for happiness?" - The Bell Chime by Mona Kabbani
oh to be called "my love" by your favourite person in the whole world
no, babe, i dont do casual. its mind numbing devotion for all eternity or nothing
I’m like those silly little virtual pets that will just die if you don’t give me enough attention btw. Just so you know.
