not to give pirates of the caribbean too much credit but it really is the only major franchise Ive seen that was able to pull off the “historical and mythical exist at the same time” with any sort of success
#like how on land theyre in history but on sea theyre in mythology really communicates the wonder and love the #pirates have for the sea so much better than long soliloquies or good cinematography #and then the meta narrative is constantly indicating that the spread of empire and greed for money is driving it away #man………………………………………………………………..

when i say "romanticise the ordinary" i don't mean "hide all aspects of your life that do not fit under some kind of aesthetic" but rather "strive to find beauty in all the little things because i promise you, happiness can be found everywhere"
The history sorrounding the use of garlic in deterring vampires is actually really fascinating.
First off, the smell of garlic was known to deter bats. Especially in southern America (which is the only place that vampire bats are native to).
So despite there being no actual blood sucking possible vampire, bats, in South East Europe, there was another reason to repel them.
On the rare occasion that someone would get bitten by a bat, they were pretty likely to catch something. Especially rabies, which was pretty prominent in bats in the 1800s.
Rabies itself was huge during the 1800s and early 1900s. It was epidemic and caused mass hysteria. And people didn't understand it.
In Dracula, Bram stoker's first descriptions of Lucy when she is being bitten every night are actually pretty consistent with early rabies.
The signs were, lack of appetite, headache and weakness. Which were often put up to hysteria.
In earlier renditions of vampires, they can also not cross running water, and more popularly do not like sunlight, which are both symptoms of late rabies.
*side note. Blood transfusions actually could have help reduce symptoms, and in some cases cure rabies. But only if you were lucky enough to get a transfusion off of someone who already had the antibodies.
So besides rabies, garlic is a massive antibiotic, and is actually effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses.
This actually originated from Egypt, garlic was thought to have magical healing properties. Often Egyptians were buried with garlic stuffed in their mouths, to prevent evil spirits. (Diseases, but could be interpreted as rising from the dead and being a vampire) .
So to conclude people. Eat your garlic.
the transition from people needing each other to wanting each other is literally one of my greatest weaknesses that shit makes me want to walk into the sea and sit on the ocean floor for a thousand years
like. characters whose entire self worth is based on how useful they can be to others, who think that they're going to be abandoned as soon as they're no longer necessary, being told by someone that they want them to stay and realizing that they have value to people in and of themselves and not just for what they can do for them will never fail to completely unmake me. like on a molecular level.
it's about the moment dependence becomes devotion
@samthefrank it's them
[Video description: a TikTok by notyourabg: showing a person holding their hijab in place with one hand looking around searching for something. Text on the video reads: “Me freaking out in the dining hall because my hijab pin fell out and I can´t find where it went” The same person playing a different persona taking out a savety pin and holding it out, the text on the video reads: “a punk guy i´ve never spoken to before offering me one of his safety pins” The first persona taking a savety pin thats been handing to them, still holding their hijab with one hand. The text on the video reads: “me thinking about it for the next 3 years” the camera zooms in on their face, they say “I love you” the words also appear on the screen.
The music in the background is Dead Kennedys “Holiday in Cambodia”/end Video description]
btw… important PSA: cutting off the mold on the surface of food does nothing. you can only see the spores on the surface, but mold itself has spread and grown roots into the food. by the time you can actually *see* the spores, that piece of food is completely full of it. youre still eating mold.
many of which are poisonous and have been shown to cause cancer. youre not even supposed to sniff it, because that can get spores into your lungs. like if you look up the health and safety guidelines for mold they barely stop short of telling you to put on a hazmat suit.
like produce is okay as long as you cut around it at least an inch, but cooked foods? you gonna die. stop eating mold people
does that include bread
Here’s the USDA mold chart
VERY IMPORTANT INFO FRIENDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love shakespeare academics. i fucking love them. there’s this one guy who wrote an essay about how claudius is actually possibly innocent, or at least didn’t kill the king by putting poison in his ear, and the ghost was in part a hallucination (it’s a really interesting essay with many good points and i’m using it in my final synthesis for this class) but. BUT. some guy read it on a train. and he lost it.
this guy literally said this essay drove him to “insanity”. he went off the fucking rails about it so much so that he wrote a book over the course of EIGHTEEN YEARS about what ACTUALLY happened in hamlet and dedicated it to the guy who wrote the essay as a big “fuck you”. and that exchange between them is literally inescapable when reading about the play today. here’s an excerpt from the beginning:
this is like. the equivalent of someone making a well-thought out discourse post and then out of nowehere someone reblogging it with thousands of words of pure furious rambling about why op is wrong YEARS LATER. this bullshit started a hundred years ago, literally in the middle of the first world fucking war, and i STILL cannot escape it while reading a book on hamlet published in fucking 2000 because it’s so iconic. and i love it.
