It’s a place for the thoughts that refuse to leave.

The small things I notice. The questions that follow me around. The patterns that appear once I look a little closer.

Sometimes it’s technology. Sometimes it’s cities, systems, people, or something I can’t quite explain yet.

No real niche. Just following curiosity wherever it goes.

An introduction.

Hi! I'm goblin--girrrl, and this is my space for long, arguably enduring and borderline erratic ramblings. My interests include, but are by no means limited to: film, books, horror, dystopian media, fantasy, psychology, sociology, girlhood, and the internet. If any of that piques your interest, then please stay a while. I can't guarantee that anything I write will be grammatically correct (I have no excuse other than pure laziness), nor can I guarantee any form of consistency (I have no excuse other than laziness), but I can guarantee that what I do post will at the very least be entertaining. If I get anything wrong, please correct me! I love to learn more and will add addendums as and when I am corrected or find new information in the form of reblogs. And for now, that is all, so have fun, get cosy and (hopefully) enjoy my corner of the internet ☽⛤☾ goblin--girrrl
