I'm not sure Carl Jung KNEW he was talking about dark romance novels when he talked about women integrating their masculine shadow Animus in order to more deeply embody themselves, but that's what I'm here for. My web connects us all, etcetera

yes I'm including genderqueer and transmasc folks who discover themselves more deeply through art, but some of you girls are baby femdoms with no outlet! or you have an incredible will to power or anger or ambition that is simply easier to sublimate through the prism of the masculine

sometimes love interests reflect what we desire in others and sometimes they reflect what we desire to embody but feel prohibited from doing so....there's a percentage of romance girlies who want to BE the powerful toppy shadow daddy in their relationships but externalizing the archetype feels safer

A graphic that reads
It was like grasping at a flame. I never penetrated to the burning heart of you, only
came away with empty,
scorched fingers.
Right and Wrong don't exist. They're fairy tales made up by priests and parents
I was definitely written by
ST Gibson Because l am hot, dramatic, & queer
He was desperate to touch his wife, desperate
to be closer to David, and so, so miserably
ashamed for wanting all that at the same time.

The image shows the cover of a book titled "A Dowry of Blood" by S.T. Gibson.
Details on the cover:
It is labeled as a The Sunday Times Bestseller.
The design is gothic and elegant, with a black background, red floral embellishments, and a portrait of a woman in period clothing (a red off-shoulder dress and pearl necklace).
The woman's eyes are obscured by a red lace-like band, enhancing the dark and mysterious tone.
The title "A Dowry of Blood" has two interlocking red rings forming the "OO" in "BLOOD."
A quote at the bottom from Alexis Henderson describes the book as "Thrilling and seductive."
This book is incredible. This isn't just a vampire novel, @stgibson.bsky.social gave a love letter to anyone who has been or is trapped by domestic abuse.
It says you are seen. You are loved. And that no matter what, you can heal.
Thank you for this gift. x
