Why-raven - The Blackest Night.

You don’t have to feel ashamed This form hurts you inside out, I know

You entrusted me with this secret And I have sworn my devotion to you

I’d be lying if I say I wasn’t jealous But only because you’re my equal

Man or woman, it doesn’t matter to me Why choose, when I can have both?

Bold what applies to your character!

— Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

cobblestone streets / lamps shining out of the fog / the warmth of a fireplace / unopened bottle of wine / the tension between what things seem to be and what they truly are / the heady thrill of freedom / the panic of losing control / blood on the pavement / guilty vices / top hats and walking sticks / self-destruction / old documents tucked away in safes

— Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

rain hitting a windowpane / candles burning low / mountain ranges of white, snowy tops / frenzied obsession / a cemetery at dusk / slaughterhouses / all-consuming thirst for revenge / compassion turned to bitterness and hatred / a sense of duty weighing on your shoulders / inescapable guilt / the frozen wastes of the arctic circle / the feeling of someone breathing down your neck / lighting sparking through the sky

— The Picture of Dorian Gray.

erotic longing / paint on a palette / golden curls and rosy cheeks / the desperation to cling to youth / bees lazily drifting through the grass / hedonism / the blackness of a soul / a dusty attic / hiding secrets / blood pooling on the floorboards / gut-wrenching jealousy / a dimly-lit stage / temptation into corruption

— The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.

cliffs rising up into the clouds / someone ambiguously supernatural always lurking / Edinburgh’s winding streets / religious zealotry / careful manipulation / family rivalry / a bible written in an indistinguishable language / a face that's always changing and shifting / Scottish lairds / something demonic masquerading as something pure

— Dracula.

letters and diaries / suitors courting a lady / castles nestled deep within forests and mountains / terror of the unknown / the howling of wolves / aristocrats from olden times / a consuming hunger / the dead rising / horses’ hooves thundering along a path / blood staining the snow / crucifixes warding off evil

— Wuthering Heights.

fog over the moors / embracing one who is already dead / a cycle of abuse / vicious, snarling dogs / a house left to ruin / a thorn among the roses / toxic love / ghosts / the howling wind / flowers that have died and begun to rot / wasting away / a voice you can’t identify

I really liked the two swords crossed in the background of the Sightseeing Log #017, so before leaving gpose I snapped this bonus photo

It kinda looks like a Title Screen background picture, don't you think?
