Over the past week we watched both Conclave and Immaculate. Both were fun, even if I don't understand the section of fandom that looked at Conclave and said "YES, let's write smut". Not my beautiful cake, but rock on you crazy diamonds.

Immaculate wasn't groundbreaking, and actually kind of predictable, but it was still enjoyable. And yet another entry in the "Yep, I like Catholic-themed horror" category; look I really like the aesthetics and music of the Church. As an institution, fuck no. All the art it's created? Yes. What this means is I bought the soundtrack on bandcamp, and need to look up the soundtrack for Conclave to see if I want it. (I probably don't, as I prefer my Latin liturgical music sung by female voices. As evidence, I listen to this Gregorian chants female voices playlist on Spotify fairly often.) Which leads me to one of my favorite set of tweets:

I have a few Gregorian chant CDs around! And some Medieval ones, too.

Every damn kink party was playing Enigma. Every one.

Unsurprising; “Mea Culpa” in particular combined French dirty talk and Catholic aesthetics with relentless flagellatory rhythm (I’ve often considered it the unofficial theme song of the Kushiel Saga.)

I should dig out my copy, it's been a hot minute.

Omg I can't hear Enigma anymore w/out those flashbacks.

Oh 90's scene memories, never change LOL

I really enjoyed Conclave. 90% of it was just a backstabbing political drama that happened to have Catholic Church wrappings :-) And obviously I loved the ending LOL.

Aww, I like that playlist!
