Just Stuff about me, if you’re interested.
~ I answer to “Juno” (not my real name).
~ My pronouns
~ I like reading, LOTS of music, and musical theater. I also sing, and while not trained beyond a couple college courses, I’ve been told my voice is not bad.
~ I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Depression.
~ Autumn & Halloween are my favorite season & holiday. 🍁 🎃
~ I love animals, but am especially fond of cats. 🐈⬛🐈🐅🐆
~ I have a fascination with some forms of horror—gothic literature, Stephen King, the Amnesia series, Soma, Alien Isolation, Higurashi/Umineko no Naku Kori ni, Diablo II, the Alien films, The Exorcist, The Ring, The Thing…occasionally I even enjoy nightmares (yes, they count as nightmares). I have a playlist I listen to that’s all either spooky stuff, dark themed, or related in some way to Halloween or horror, even if it’s obscure.
~ I like villains in stories, and have since as far as I can remember.
~ I like fantasy books, particularly Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere. 🌌
~ INFP on Myers-Briggs (which is a fun which-character-are-you kind of thing; not a real science).
~ I’m always trying to find guidelines to add to my life from all kinds of random sources.
~ I try to view things from multiple angles, even when I don’t agree or like some of them.
~ …….
~ Erm… that’s—that’s about it. 😅
I reblog/post a LOT of pictures and art that's related to macabre, spooky, halloween, black cats, etc: #spooky imagery and art; #Halloween 🎃; #cats
I TRY not to post AI stuff because I don’t want to support it, but I’m not great at recognizing it. I scrutinize the pictures before reblogging, though.

what are some of your reads on utterson as a person-slash-narrator? forgive me if you've discussed this before, i know it's come up here-and-again, but i wanted to dedicate an ask about him specifically. love hearing your insights on characters and love hearing about him
The thing about Utterson that stands out the most is his loyalty. Stevenson describes him as "The last friend left after everyone else has given up" and we see that in full effect with Henry. Aside from Utterson, Jekyll doesn't really have a lot of other friends. He's in the middle of an unpleasant beef with Lanyon when we meet him in the book.
Something about Utterson also inspires loyalty in others. Despite the fact that he's described as boring he is very well liked by those that keep him in their circle.
I always interpret that the only real reason Utterson isn't as repressed or unhappy as Jekyll is because he doesn't particularly have strong urges or ambitions. He is content with his life as it is. He also knows this and it's part of WHY he's so much more forgiving of "fallen" men. Because the only reason he isn't one is because "goodness" comes easily to him. It's the difference between being celibate and being asexual. If the temptation isn't strong in the first place there's no resistance. This is more headcanon but I believe Utterson isn't stupid, he knows it's not self-sacrifice that keeps him on the straight and narrow. He also knows more about Henry's urges than he admits, even to himself. He remembers Jekyll's wild youth.
But if there is one thing that trumps all of that and can make him risk even his own reputation or do something shady it's his loyalty. Perceiving a threat to his best friend is what gets Utterson to completely flip and be like "If this Hyde person doesn't get away from Jekyll I'm going to dig up all of the dirt on him and blackmail him within an inch of his life."
He's not a super complicated character tbh and his characterization is pretty consistent throughout the novella, but he is a good character and I do wish adaptations would quit sidelining him.
When I think about the timing of the takeover of earth in DCC, I know I’d just get “collected” in the collapse … but there’s a chance a couple of my coworkers survive. It’s break time at my work when the collapse happens, and a few of them like to go out to their cars. Just think it’s interesting that they have a chance to survive because of their routine of going to their cars at break time might mean they avoid the crunch. Depends on how on-the-dot the break time would be when that happens.
I’m doomed, though. I never go out then. And I take my break few minutes later than everybody else.

Currently rereading The Vampire Armand. I remember almost nothing from the first time I read it, and … reading this, and also having just read Pandora for the first time ….
