Ora è la stagione della separazione
Per entrare nelle terre della dissociazione
Per sentire l'aria e la luna sulla pelle
Lontano dal rumore del mondo
Quel ritmo isolato di noi
I was too busy to do anything to celebrate #worldgothday but I hope to play something suitably #Gothic later in the week. My favourite "unknown" #TTRPG SpookyBeans.
#WorldGothDay
The original, historical Goths for which the modern sub-culture is named, were a Germanic tribe, probably from Scandinavia, best known for sacking Rome in 410 CE.
Dedicated to my loveliest sib, @yassie_j :agender_heart: 💗
One of the main ideas behind Andrew's Deb Demure persona is to be as agender as possible, both in outside presentation, and in music - it was them that introduced me to the concept of being agender. :Fire_Agender:
There are no words to describe how much I love this project. Most likely my favorite modern goth band.
I hope to be able to see them in Katowice - I actually got to catch Andrew in Warsaw after their gig (where they were playing under the Noel Skum persona as part of VR Sex), and they mentioned that they might come down here sometime :333 :ablobfoxbongohyper:
The Highwayman Inn in Sourton, Devon, may be Britain's most eccentric pub. You enter through a porch designed to look like a stagecoach & then actually pass through the former almost 200-year-old Launceston to Okehampton stage coach, complete with padding, upholstery, buttoning & seats. The pub's interior is crammed with eccentric items, such as cartwheels, tree trunks & bits of old ships. The pub is extremely haunted, with some of the activity linked to a door from an old whaler - the ship got trapped in ice off Greenland, with the captain & several crew members perishing. #pubs#gothic#folklore#weird#history
Grannie Kempoch Stone faces the sea in Gourock, Scotland. This megalith was seen as a source of good luck to sailors - they would walk around the stone seven times with a basket of sand 'chanting a weird song' if they were going on a long voyage. In 1662, a group of local women suspected of witchcraft were executed - they'd allegedly danced round the stone on the Sabbath with the intention of sinking a ship passing through the Clyde. #Folklore#history#weird#gothic
#OnThisDay, May 14, 1816, Mary Godwin and her future husband Percy Shelley, her stepsister Claire Clairmont, and Dr. John William Polidori visit Lord Byron at Villa Deodati on Lake Geneva in Switzerland (depicted in Gothic, 1986)
