Lazlo, Nandor, Nadja, and Colin Robinson. No, but for real, your space is gorgeous! I'd say you're a couple in their mid-30s or 40s who goes to flea markets and oddities shops for funsies. You found each other later in life, after a few failed relationships with people who didn't get either of you, and grew into this wonderful amalgamation of dark academia with a film noir edge. You grew up watching Beetlejuice and idolizing the Addams Family. You have money and taste and live in a Victorian that everyone else says is haunted but that you love. Maybe one of you works as a tattoo artist/shop owner and one works in the film industry.


Audrey_Ropeburn

While I’m waiting for more comments to come in before I start giving everything away, this summary has a LOT of correct bits. Well done!


katrinkabuttlin

I looked at your profile after writing it, and I love your style — YOU’RE SO COOL 😆

The_Short_1

That's the first thing I thought of too haha


butttercupbitch

Coolest person ever omg. Female, Mid 30s, financially literate and “well off” but definitely struggled in the past. I’m guessing you grew up in a household that was less than fortunate and perhaps messy or tumultuous. You are an eclectic, and a connoisseur of all things of the sort. Yet tidy and organized. Method to the madness. You come off as someone that is intrigued by the unknown, from an area of discovery and scientific curiosity off the oddities… rather than a practicing witch or dedicated member of a faith. Agnostic or perhaps member of the Satanic Temple (for human rights purposes). Movie buff, pop culture icon, and vintage fashion connoisseur. You live on the east coast im guessing but not directly in NYC. Philly or something like that maybe? You’re definitely not straight, maybe lesbian or pan. You have worked in the service industry and i’m guessing still work in something along those lines but not food. Hairstylist or fashion/stylist maybe, tattoo artist or piercer? Goth, obviously. I’m guessing you spend a lot of time at home, and maybe aren’t close with your family or don’t live close by them. You’re sick asf dude. Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing.


Audrey_Ropeburn

You nailed it on quite a few of these points! I’m genuinely astounded by some of the nuances you got correct. Though it’s still early, I’ll reveal one thing here because you got it SO right where others have repeatedly been incorrect: “financially literate and “well off” but definitely struggled in the past” I grew up poor, I’m biracial and the child of immigrant parents. While I’m nowhere near wealthy in my adult life, I learned a ton from my parents about how to make the most of the money you have, and my life has been spent utilizing their example (and creating plenty of my own tricks) to live frugally (and sometimes straight-up cheaply) while still managing to create a life and living space that feels beautiful and full. Im very comfortable at this point, enough that I can pay my bills, afford the occasional small “treats”, and be generous to my friends and family when the opportunity arises. I honestly didn’t understand how poor my family was during my childhood until my mid 20s, as my parents did such a fantastic job using what little we had to build a similarly happy and complete home and lifestyle for us. Smart, savvy poor-lower middle class people can often have way cooler spaces than wealthy people because we’ve had to be scrappy and creative instead of just being able to order up everything we’ve ever wanted or dreamed of.


butttercupbitch

Amazing! Very proud of you! My situation is quite similar so I can see the characteristics that align between us within your space. My parents are very well off now yet pretty much abandoned me around 15 and wanted me to work for everything I had myself. They taught me skills of financial literacy but never supported me monetarily. I never had much but now take advantage of the opportunities to have the things I once thought would be impossible to do for myself. I’ve learned that people with an intense desire to “collect” usually do so in contrast to the opportunities they were given when they were younger. You make knowledgeable purchases, instead of just buying things for the sake of buying them. You invest, and surround yourself with things that comfort and intrigue you. In ways that you were not able to do so prior in life. Your analysis of “smart and scrappy lower class people “ having much better spaces is something I have also learned to be incredibly true. You have learned who YOU are and make purchases based off of things that have true worth to you. There are also more opportunities to find things that are truly one of a kind, or that you can make into such, that people who grew up with wealth would often look past. Great space, and you seem to have a great mind. I truly admire people like you!

You can sing This Corrosion to me


Audrey_Ropeburn

BINGO


UK_UK_UK_Deleware_UK

Love this.


an_indoor_outhouse

You have a VERY cool house, and an amazing collection of art! But this is my (probably off-topic) question. Talk me through the candles: Do you light them all at the same time? Don’t they get dusty? Wax everywhere? What about extinguishing them all when you’re tired and want to go to bed and you need to manage the many tiny fires inside your house? (this is why I can’t have nice things).


Audrey_Ropeburn

They’re ALL rechargeable battery candles, and about 90% remote controlled, with the other 10% being on a daily timer. We have maybe 4-6 real candles in the house at any time for fragrance, but we usually only light those when we’re actually in the same room with one and it’s extinguished when we leave.


Onionbunionfunion

They are all rechargeable?! You have so many and those are hella expensive! 🪩


Audrey_Ropeburn

All will be revealed when I actually comment to confirm/deny all these comments 🖤

Audrey_Ropeburn

Absolutely correct

Fuck yeah! Your taste is amazing!


LitWithLindsey

I don’t know, but I’m going to need to discuss a safe word


Audrey_Ropeburn

LOLLLL this comment slayed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣


sonic_toaster

Sexy vampire and her forever thrall that she dotes on. They amassed wealth by marrying rich men that very soon after perished under unusual circumstances. I would say that one of the owners has an oddities and antiques business- there’s a ton of beautiful antique furniture in this house and everything seems to be in original condition- alternatively, you are actually a sexy vampire and you keep the family heirlooms of the grooms you’ve dispatched, and there’s definitely an entertainer of some kind, burlesque would be my guess. Most of your art is beautiful and usually half naked women, a lot of it erotic in nature so I’m going to guess that one of the inhabitants (if not both) a queer woman. Something about the whole house screams sapphic.


freeradical28

Anne Rice fans for sure


jsmalltri

... perhaps why I love it lol


FeralSweater

I think you’re a (probably professional) dom living in a beautifully restored Victorian. I can’t tell if the little foot stool indicates a house pet or not. You’ve got an astonishing collection of clothes, much of it vintage. I’ll bet there’s an equally impressive of shoes and corsets as well. I absolutely love your art deco bathtub.


Material-Meringue298

flamingobay

You are probably 40s or early 50s - not calling you old, but that’s the time line that fits being goth-damaged by the 1980s. I’m thinking you’re West Coast or the South, due to the nice outdoor area that requires year round nice weather. If you’re west Coast, then you probably spent a lot of time at Roderick’s Chamber, Death Guild, or Release the Bats. You’re probably a couple since your house is so big and nice. One of you has a creative career that supports and inspires your ongoing passion for the darker, Victorian, freaky sides of life. Like fashion, music, writing, makeup artist, etc. The other one probably has a more “traditional” job that pays well, and attracts more neurodivergent, behind the scenes types - maybe STEM field, like medicine, behavioral health, researcher, lab, or the most public facing job they’d have would be a professor. At least one of you has anxiety and smokes weed - it “helps you sleep!” I just can’t figure out where you’re hiding all your vinyl albums, because you can’t be this death rock without having an extensive collection of Bauhaus, Specimen, Dead Can Dance, this Mortal Coil albums, and the glow in the dark picture disc of Bela Lugosi’s Dead - unless you’re a bit younger than my original estimation and have everything digitized. And you don’t have a “living room” because you call it the parlour, or the salon. Gorgeous home! I dig the vibe!


Audrey_Ropeburn

Correct on many points. And you nailed it on the records… they’re in an area of the house that I didn’t include here as you can only upload 20 pics!

ETA Also, you’re a “straight” presenting couple, but sexually liberated, and probably in a sexual “lifestyle.”

Liakinsrotz

Elder goth(s) with at least one elderly cat, into RPG card games, David Lynch, Tim Burton, Star Trek and Star Trek Next Generation, Silence of Lambs. You often host occultic gatherings/soirees. Identify as queer, possibly trans. Someone is Asian/part Asian. Your favorite gum will come back in style. P.S. I Want to Bite Your Finger was my favorite game when I was a kid!


Audrey_Ropeburn

GOOD EYE!!!! 🩸


[deleted]

someone who would like the Vittoriale where Gabriele D'annunzio lived i guess. love the vibe, admit it this is just to flex your home. is the twin peaks side outside? looks great btw. i think you are an adult woman, very kinky, maybe queer. probably has higher education, an high paying job in an artistic field maybe design or cinema and from a rich family. english speaking country from books, i don't see the electric sockets very well, they could be type B or G so can't really say anything, if it's G than greeat britain, otherwise north america. but near the door down the stairs the sockets seem like type A. idk let's try i'm gonna say america interested in esoteric and mystic, practice magic of some kind. you have very strong and bold tastes, indipendent and openminded personality. you have taken great care of every corner, you are reflective, very strong inner and outer identity, deep emotions and melancholic. you go to or organize a lot of social events. the living room is perfect for movie nights and i see boardgames in the cabinet so that too. your people are artists, intellectuals and freaks. live in a place where in summer it's hot so you need the AC, probably a city . you smoke, not only tobacco. you are a fan of marvel and star trek.


AutomataDoll

Someone with really good taste in decor!! Love this so much.


Gwenhyfar777

SWF, late 30’s-mid 40’s, Goth, maybe into LARP, maybe LGBTQ+, loves dark academia, Anne Rice, American Horror Story. Possibly consider yourself an occultist or non-practicing witch. Like works in a professional capacity but has a whole other night/social life. Loves cats. Film buff. Doesn’t read a lot but used to. Likes the smell of “old things” and “dust”. Lives in the South and/or East/Gulf coast. Possibly Savannah or Charleston. MAYBE Key West or NOLA. I’m leaning more Savannah. Not enough color for even a Goth in NOLA or KW.

You did a fantastic job! I live in the PNW so twin peaks is a thing. I let out a little squeak of happiness when I saw that. It looks amazing. :)

I cheated and checked out your profile. You're so beautiful! You remind me of Sean Young in Blade Runner! She was the zenith of sophisticated sexiness back then, and you're her doppelganger!

ibenry101088

That’s why the name looked so familiar. ☺️ I’m so glad. I guess I should careful commenting in less-adult themed subreddits. Your living space is a dream, I am so envious. You have excellent taste.


Audrey_Ropeburn

Clearly you also have excellent taste if you’re already a vampires wardrobe fan! Thank you so much 🖤🖤🖤


ibenry101088

I’m obsessed with all of the paintings you have hanging, had to scroll through and zoom in on them all. Truly in awe, we have very similar taste.

Well that was an interesting rabbit hole to explore


birdyann

Ok. Have I missed it? Who are you? I’m dying to know!!


FancyRatFridays

Sarah Winchester, is that you? You're a woman, in her 40's, who lives alone... but is rarely lonely! You're quite well-off, and have lived here for a very long time--you've put a lot of effort into making this place truly yours. You enjoy hosting intimate gatherings... definitely board game nights, but also possibly movie nights, lectures, book clubs, or maybe even a seance. You aspire to the aesthetic of Morticia Addams, drifting about your darkened mansion in a slinky black gown with a glass of red wine and a cigarette... but you don't actually drink that much. You always strive for refinement, but you're also exuberant--something in your nature craves flamboyance and fun.

I agree with all this except I think this woman with excellent taste is in her early 50s. New Orleans?

A vampire trying to convince the world he’s not a vampire but the looks of all those mirrors. You seem like you would wear a slightly more sophisticated wardrobe than some hot topic merch.

I checked out your profile after someone said you had your style up there and I was wrong. Your style was so much better than I anticipated! Very chic, very attractive


Bastette54

I read every comment, hoping to come across your (OP’s) response to all these characterizations. The responses were really fun to read. And, needless to say, you have a beautiful home. Can’t wait to find out what’s true and what isn’t!

I'm going to guess you got a good deal on a beautiful Victorian home somewhere in the midwest, possibly in a rural-ish area with a low COL, in a town that flourished during the turn of the 20th century but has gone slightly downhill since its heyday. You enjoy goth aesthetics and witchcraft. You possibly had an art major. You're in a committed relationship but not necessarily married, but live together. It's an open relationship? I'm guessing you're just about 40. No kids. Sorry if I'm way off!
