Looooove Girls With A Little Special Interest

looooove girls with a little special interest

Mina, just casually reciting the exact trains from which station leave at which times in order to get to wherever when possible is important to me.

ok so the thing about carmilla (1872) is that carmilla has probably done the "oh i'm so in love with you" shtick with so many girls that she has devoured. it's textbook predatory lesbianism and 19th century fear of the queer, or monstrous sexuality as jack halberstam puts it in skin shows.

but what if carmilla did love those girls? what if laura is not just one in many victims of carmilla, but an actual object of love? after all, vampirism is often a perversion of desire, and oh what twisted love is that of literally consuming each and every one of your partners?

and that's not even to say of how long carmilla put off devouring laura. she fed off of so many villagers and killed so many villagers before -- what very well may be resorting to -- laura. can we say that carmilla is even protective of laura in this regard? that carmilla would put off feeding for so long to protect laura from herself?

of course she's a predator. of course she is savoring her meal. of course she uses laura's love as a way to guard herself from suspicion. but i don't think it was all a game. i don't think that when carmilla said, "you must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me," she was merely speaking as a predator. after all, what simple predator asks for their prey to come with them to death?

im considering harassing the author of that one the handmaiden/claudeleine fanfic for another update
