Cool things that are happening on Tumblr right now on my friends' circles: we're talking about liminal spaces in Malaysia: https://tariqk.tumblr.com/post/159933457519/liminal-spaces-malaysia
Thanks to @fightingfish for the initial conversation, and the reblogs talking about liminal spaces in Malaysia.
Like, Tumblr often can be and sadly is a shit-show, but I've met loads of cool people there.
Someone in that thread was like what's the difference between liminal spaces and regional gothic, and I was like that is such a cool question.
Like, from what I remember, regional gothic, like any gothic literature, often traffics in exaggeration of the mundane to the point of the grotesque, often as a commentary of the place.
Whereas liminal spaces are a thing, places removed from context and meaning, and the sensation that evokes.
You *could* do liminal spaces gothic, can't you?
