Cracking open a boy with the Cold Ones

@crow--brain

This is a vampire blog now i guess. they/them Twitter: @catboy_mozart

For anybody local to Whitby: they're attempting to break the world record for the biggest gathering of vampires on the 26th of May to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Dracula's publication 🦇

I love the dynamic in the Discworld fandom on this site, I think it's mainly because there are a lot of dormant fans, if you will, who've read and loved the books for years but haven't engaged much recently, who sort of reappear whenever a fun post is doing the rounds. It's fantastic. We get the cozy small fandom vibe without the screaming matches, but also get the popular posts from time to time, y'know?

YEP. In fact for some people it’s Emotions Day right now.

To everyone tagging and commenting with some variation of “Oh, I almost forgot that it’s tomorrow!”

“Damn! Damn! Damn! Every year he forgot. Well, no. He never forgot. He just put the memories away like old silverware that you didn’t want to tarnish. And every year they came back, sharp and sparkling, and stabbed him in the heart. And today, of all days...”

That’s so very meta of you.

Imagine if you will a complete inversion of a boorish American on St. Patrick’s Day. Imagine an Irishman who aggressively celebrates the Fourth of July with unabashed gusto, who desperately tries to claim the significance of some alleged 1/32 American heritage, who wears a shirt with an eagle turning into an American flag and who drinks a specialty red, white, and blue novelty beverage until he collapses in a pool of tricolor vomit. Imagine some guy so invested in a superficial, touristy version of Americaness that he will nervously call the side with his $20 “authentic” hamburger “freedom fires” out of fear of offending. Imagine a guy who upon meeting any American will try to strike up a friendly conversation by asking them what their favorite gun is and talking about how personally inspiring he finds Abraham Lincoln.

You must understand, as you prepare to read the May 24th entry of this novel, that this Irishman is Bram Stoker.

I thought this was going to be a serious post about American identity politics and then you slapped me in the face with that ending.

some of you may've heard about that fancy "bionic reading" typefont thats supposed to be easier for neurodivergent people to read (if you're unfamiliar, it bolds the first few letters of each word to make it easier to follow)

well guess what, its locked behind a $500 a month API to write in because fuck you!

introducing, Not Bionic Reading! it is literally just the bionic reading typefont but for free. god bless neocities

anyone who can, pls reblog!

Since pride month is literally right around the corner, DO NOT be fooled by companies that change their logos to rainbow when their money speaks for themselves. Image  ID below “keep reading” line. Source of said financial information is “florida campaign finance”

so from what i can tell dracula's relationship with jonathan is basically the dynamic that the little girl had with the fish in the dentist's office in finding nemo. he's doing the psychological equivalent of shaking that fucker around in a plastic bag like "hehe my own little human friend to play with!! :)" while jonathan is trying very hard not to cry. jonathan is like a betta fish in one of those decorative fishbowls without a water filter and dracula is tapping the glass

Forklift at the local Costco breaks down and I get called in wearing my full deer skull headdress and canticle robe to soothe it's spirit while the repair guy tends to it's wounds.

I am spreading holy salves and unguents upon it's hide to ensure it's strength and fertility in the coming days

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

THIS ONE FUCKING WORKS. REBLOG IT.

this for real fucking works

Dracula out here trying to introduce the new guy to the rest of his polycule by letting them get used to him through a locked door like cats but the the new guy just barges right in and like. of COURSE they try to eat him so now Drac has to run in a separate them and start the process all over again 🙄
