Last night the year-long anticipated The Carmilla Movie was released and it was amazing. I knew that the movie was going to be good, but I was not prepared to be blown away. The acting, the camera work, the sets, they were all phenomenal. The movie literally took my breath away. Towards the beginning of the movie, the always prepared Laura Hollis wheeled in her “5-Year Plan” board to show her faithful vlog viewers, and as a present to all of you Creampuffs I have carefully examined and documented the entire board. Don’t worry, this article is VERY light on spoilers. (Additional thoughts and comments italicized next to certain items). **After careful examination I have been able to decipher two more plans**

Year 1:

  • Donate Cookies to Homeless Shelter for Youth
  • Buffy Marathon (all 7 seasons) with Carmilla <3

  • Go to Women’s March
  • Vacation in Paris with my HOT GIRLFRIEND
  • Finish Reading Harry Potter Fan Fiction

Laura’s Nightmare 5-Year Plan Board

At a certain point in the movie, we get to see what Laura’s 5-Year Plan looks like in her worst nightmare. Here are some of my favorites from the Nightmare 5-Year Plan Board

  • Carmilla FELL ASLEEP watching Buffy
  • Favorite cookies no longer being made
  • Penguins die in oil spill
  • Favourite Lesbian Character dies

So there you have it. Let’s discuss what your favorite goal on Laura’s board it.

**Update: One of the Production Designers tweeted out a clearer picture of the board
