My heart and soul are telling me I need to return (more) to my beloved pink and black aesthetic. Sooooo obviously I needed to create a pinterest board.
(Yes, I know about Draculaura. I have one of the OG dolls.)

Feel like we should be telling people we appreciate them more these days as a matter of mutual care.
"talking mice that will break your heart" - guess I'll brace myself before reading this one, even MORE than I have to brace myself for the appearance of Greg.
Bookday! It's my bookday!
Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.
Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop clenching your jaw, drink some water, take your meds.
-Worrying is worshipping the problem. (I saw that said elsewhere and winced at the truth of it.)
-The Cursed Object has declared all the ceiling fans are part of Curseyland.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-No slouching! Drink some water, take your meds.
-Be as kind as you can, but don’t ignore your boundaries.
-The Lurking Horror wants to explore the heating ducts as a “fun adventure!”, but “cursey can’t tag along”.
❤️ Auntie Jilli
That is GORGEOUS.
A photo of a very handsome and weird man and his daughter.
Everyone cheer! Today is Dad’s EIGHTIETH birthday!
(Photo from a few years ago, and wow it shows I take after Dad’s side of the family.)
never too old :)
A picture of a hand with extremely pointy nails, painted with dark red glittery tips shading into a pale ivory at the base.
New vampire nails!
Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Use your fancy things now. Don’t save them for a vague “later”.
-All the tiny cryptids want extra hugs. I want them, too.

Throwback Thursday! The cover of the Russian language version of Gothic Charm School: An Essential Guide for Goths and Those Who Love Them. I don't think the book has been translated into any other languages, so the fact there's a Russian edition is mind-boggling.
Season 4 of Hannibal PLEASE. Pretty please.
Remember when there was a difference between rage bait and information? Good times.
You! Yes, you! You want fancy clothes! Take a look at the Madwoman in the Attic's Depop! And remember that anything labeled "slow fashion" is something she can recreate just for you - just DM her. www.depop.com/sparrowlux/
BRAIN: emilie autumn opheliac please
ME: Ummmm, sure, but this isn't a sign of possibly feeling unstable?
BRAIN: psssht, like i know
ME: I swear the Brain Raccoons are more helpful than you.
BRAIN RACCOONS: hey, want a bout of impostor syndrome?
ME: NO, NO I DON'T.
BRAIN RACCOONS: here it comes!
No advice from your Goth Auntie today, as she is very tired and groggy. (For no reason, humph.) Drink some water, take your meds, and look after each other.
Because my real middle name also begins with V, and my Dad is cheerfully very weird. The biggest mystery is how he got Mom to go along with it.
“JILLIAN VEG-O-MATIC [last name]” was how I knew I was in trouble.
I believed my middle name was Veg-o-Matic until I was 15, thanks to my parents’ commitment to a joke.
maybe im getting old(ish) but books being promoted/announced with a list of tropes they contain is... 😬😬😬
This sounds like something I’d like.
It's from the wonderful folks at Lively Ghosts!
A black and white striped teacup containing cocoa and marshmallows. Next to it is a pink and white napkin with two digestives biscuits.
@flockofwords.bsky.social I'm going to make cocoa after my meeting, and have a few digestive biscuits with it.
I am having a day of ennui. I feel low for no particular reason (I mean on top of the day-to-day existential despair of living in these dystopian times), and I don't want to do anything.
The Brain Raccoons are metaphorically flopped on the floor lazily waving their paws and saying "meh. ugh."
