I am, apparently, something called an “Emotional Support Animal.”Who honestly knows. Human running this thing-Crystal, 18+,just trying to make it day by day. Tags: Crystal talking- #ownerspeaks Gwen talking- #snakespeaks Answering asks-#snakeasks Gwen’s Journal- #noodlejourney

til Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula, written 1978, was considered by the British Fantsy Society to be “one of the better” Dracula/Holmes crossovers. i was not previously aware this was a genre

i am sorry? Sherlock Homes vs Dracula? is a real book? and not a fever dream i had while scrolling through ao3????

apparently it’s a real genre and it doesn’t end there!

have you ever wanted to read a comic book pitting the wits of the famous Sherlock Holmes against the Menace of the world’s most infamous vampire? Now you can have multiple series!!!

In conclusion, die old, leave behind a body of literature for the world to ransack

you say this but I checked ao3 and to my shock and disappointement there are only 2 fics for Dracula/Sherlock, I am devastated

Good news Gaud! My flatmate’s grandad wrote a Sherlock Holmes/Dracula novel in 2011! Her grandma illustrated it!

I think you can only get it on Amazon unfortunately :(

Me and my other flatmates were actively campaigning for him to add a smut chapter. He said he’d think about it, but as he’s 96 I don’t know that there’s too much thinking time left :(

please tell your flatmate’s 96 year old grandpa that dozens of internet strangers are cheering for him/actively begging him to add a sherlock x dracula smut chapter to his sherlock x dracula fanfic

it is 2023 and I am once again reminding you that there are STILL only 2 Dracula/Sherlock Holmes works on ao3. do the heavens truly expect me to countenance this travesty??

THIS WILL ALWAYS BE FUNNY

Golden Girls is really deceptive because it’s downright savage and crude humor hidden in a show you think was a boring sitcom about old ladies.

I mean, there’s more sex jokes than some r-rated comedies.

And they’re funny, well timed, perfectly delivered sex jokes

Golden Girls is literally what old ladies do when we’re not around

“Red Robin!”

When he backtracked to find the owner of the voice he was a bit surprised to find a young boy, maybe eight years old if he had to guess, dressed in a red sweatshirt that dwarfed him and a pair of gym shorts that had seen better days.

Not many Gothamites called out to the vigilantes, a silent agreement to stay out of their way and not to look too closely. This kid however stared up at him with bright blue eyes unafraid of getting the Red Robin’s attention.

A fan?

Before he even opens his mouth, the kid gives him a small, hopeful smile, eyes shining with something that reminds him of himself when he was that age and following Batman and Robin with his camera around his tiny neck.

“I brought you a gift,” the boy say with nervous excitement. He enthusiastically swings off the backpack he had on to dig through the contents, taking his eyes off the vigilante and showing his unwavering trust that nothing bad would happen to him while Red Robin was here.

In the episode where Wally and Lex switch bodies with that iconic scene where luthor in Wally’s body takes off his mask and has no idea who he is, no one else knows he did that, only Luthor. and it’s not like he could figure out who the flash was based solely off of his own memory of what he looks like?

But he absolutely would recognize him if Clark say, took Wally as his plus one to a press event that Luthor happened to be attending leading to the strangest stare down of Wally’s life.

bit late to this meme but its so cute :') (sound source)

(id: a 12 second animation of a chibi duke thomas in the batcave, dressed as signal, smiling as he bobs up and down for a few seconds before proceeding to breakdance to upbeat music. batman is standing in front of him, turned away from the camera and on the right hand side.)

What if This, but like, Batfam?

Bruce runs a free non profit charity truck stop to feed the hungry and homeless and then all of a sudden there are these kids who are looking to help the community and want to make the world better despite having nothing and shit. Guess he’s a father now.

PSA for my fellow white people

Latino/Latina: originating from the Carribean, South or Central America. Gender neutral term (in English) is usually written as latinx.

  • Sentence: María was born in Ecuador, so she is Latina.

Hispanic: Spanish-speaking.

  • Sentence: José was born in Brazil, so he is NOT Hispanic, since his country’s official language is Portugese, but he IS considered Latino.

Mexican: from the Central American country named Mexico, NOT a language. NOTICE! not all Latinos in the US are from Mexico

  • Sentence: Enrique was born in Mexico, so he is Mexican. Enrique speaks Spanish, since “Mexican” is not a language. 

Chicano/Chicana/Chicanx: a person of Mexican descent (usually born in the US)

  • Sentence: Anna’s parents were born in Mexico, so she identifies as Chicana. Her friend Miguel’s parents are from Colombia, so he identifies as Latino.

Spanish: a language spoken by many countries all over the world/ originating from the country Spain. NOTICE! not the only language spoken in Spain or South/Central America.

  • Sentence: Juan was born in Madrid, so he is Spanish. He only speaks Spanish, but has friends who speak other languages.

Quechua, Catalan, Nahuatl, Gallego, Euskera: other languages spoken in countries where Spanish is the ‘official’ language. Many Hispanics are bilingual and Spanish may not be their native language.

  • Sentence: Alba was born in a region of Spain called Catalonia. Even though she is Spanish, she speaks Catalan with her family and friends. 
  • Sentence #2: Sofia was born in Mexico and does not speak “Mexican,” but her family does speak Nahuatl, a native language originating in Mexico.

That is all.

Mandatory reading for my followers. 

Honestly, can all non Latino POC look at this too please? Especially if you’re trying to work in allyship with the latinx community.

i think the world doesn’t know what it really means to live in a theocratic dictatorship. Let me tell you about our experiences living in the islamic regime of iran.

1. Your parents were born to muslim parents so they’re automatically muslim. You’re automatically a muslim too. You didn’t choose your religion and you can’t opt out of it or you will be executed.

2. The compulsory hijab law makes you a criminal if you choose not to wear hijab even tho you didn’t choose to be a muslim and you don’t consider yourself a muslim but the regime has forced you into that role whether you like it or not. And when you ‘break that law’, they can do with you as they please.

3. little girls as young as 7 yrs old are forced to wear hijab at school even tho the islam itself says the age is 9. and all the schools are gender segregated so imagine how they force you to get used to hijab even when you’re just surrounded by other girls. And all day long at school they tell you horrible stories about what will happen to you in hell if someone sees even a strand of your hair.

4. the regime modifies all the textbooks, story books, cartoons and movies to represent the ideal woman with full on hijab. The iranian media is ordered to photoshop every photo of a woman that may be showing a little skin. And if they’re iranian, no hair is supposed to be seen or that will be photoshopped away. Women are mostly excluded from billboards and tv commercials.

5. imagine going to work or meeting up with a friend when suddenly the morality police kidnap you in broad daylight and force you into a van to take you to a station where they will treat you like a criminal and if you don’t agree to get humiliated and do as they say, they will put you in prison. And in case of Mahsa Amini and so many more before her, they will beat you to death. My sister was barely 18 when she got kidnapped and they didn’t let her call home and she’d been so fucking scared and we had no idea where she was. Imagine all the psychological trauma.

6. If you’re in a car and not wearing hijab they will fine you and seize your car. So when u get into a taxi the driver will ask you to keep your hijab on otherwise they’ll get fined. And if you refuse they’ll ask you to get off the car.

7. And its not just about hijab. In Ramadan, they get even more vicious. If they catch you eating or even drinking water on the street they will give you lashes as punishment and even imprison you for breaking the law. If you work in a state-owned company it’s even worse. They will close the cafeteria and take away the water dispensers. All restaurants are banned from delivering food before iftar. It’s a fucking mess. Everyone has to pretend they’re fasting or they’ll be severely punished.

8. And how could I forget about this! iranian women are banned from singing! the islamic regime prohibits women’s singing voices to be heard by men so imagine the horror of having 50% of the population banned from ever becoming a singer. If they identify a female singer in iran, they will take her to jail and force her to repent her sins in the most humiliating way so that she will never dare sing again.

9. And every time the regime gets wind of a private gathering of men and women trying to have fun and live their fucking private lives, the police crash the party and take everyone to jail bc the Islamic regime bans iranian men and women from having fun.

So if you see Islam has become for many iranians a symbol of oppression and torture and discrimination, that’s why. The regime uses islam as a weapon to silence and punish anyone who opposes them. You can love islam all you want from the safety of your home in a free country and talk about how kind and benevolent the religion is, but in iran, it’s a whole different story.

Our economy is fucked. All govt officials are corrupt as fuck. Most websites are banned in iran. Even tumblr is banned. The world has cut the iranian ppl from many services. We don’t have intl credit cards like visa card. Amazon doesn’t do delivery to iran. We cant get netflix, spotify or even a gamepass subscription. we don’t get any Apple services here. iran isn’t listed as a country you could choose when signing up for a lot of services. and when we decide to leave iran and escape this hellhole, every country out there will make it sooo much harder for us to get a visa just bc we had the misfortune to be born in iran at the wrong time.

This is the story of iran for the past 44 years. Held hostage by a corrupt regime that uses religion to suppress and torture the people and being abandoned by the rest of the world bc our lives don’t matter.

Please be our voice. Once they shut down the internet completely and silence our voice, they will start slaughtering us to stifle the protests just like they did in 2019. Please help us. We want this fucking regime gone.

And their internet is in the process of being shut down right now.

Reblog this and other voices from Iran. Help be their voices. They need us now.

I want someone at the fbi to have a whiteboard tally of all the times one of the Wayne kids said something on live tv that resulted in a federal investigation being launched.

I want a separate tally of the number of convictions linked to one of those investigations, and another tally representing the number of times the Waynes implicated Luthor on national television.

I want the Wayne kids to be able to be on some talk show sharing a hilarious story of such and such a time and oh yeah Lex was there and doing this thing that was probably fine I don’t know law lol and someone in the fbi is watching and goes, “we got another one,” to the collective cheers and groans of those who placed bets on the outcome of the interview.

Reverse Robins verse Billy Batson normal dude who gets hit by lightning and turns into a malnourished 8 year old with powers

He gets the opposite of the wisdom of Shazam where he’s a pretty smart dude as an adult but when he turns into Shazam he gets the brain development of an 8 year old and all the insanity that comes with. It’s like a trade off: you get magic lightning, and you do not get the intelligence to use the magic lightning correctly, but you get an invulnerable body so it’s actually fine

Every time he transforms back he has that sobering moment of what the fuck did i do and how am i still alive

Shazam-ed Billy: this is GREAT im gonna TACKLE THIS GUY out of the AIR and then hit him with LIGHTNING and even if I transform into my mortal form that’s FINE because I can just go back OKAY HERE GOES

UnShazam-ed Billy, free falling: WHY DID I DO THIS THIS WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA SHAZAM

Shazam-ed Billy, still having a heart attack from three seconds prior: why was I panicking lol that worked great

Wizard: alright you’re already 2/3rds of a himbo we have strong and stupid but you’re not pure of heart. Yet

Billy, literally just some dude: huh?

Wizard: smacks Billy with lightning

Wizard: dies

Billy, 8: HUH?

Jason: So, demon spawn, what’d you get me for Christmas?
Damian, handing him a box: Here.
Jason: *opens box*
Damian: It’s a first edition copy of Misery by Stephen King.
Jason: Oh, how original, even though I have 3 copies of these already.
Dick: Jason, be nice
Tim: Even I have to admit that’s a nice gift. The kid probably murdered his allowance for that.
Damian: Oh, no, I didn’t. That’s one of his copies.
Jason: Wait a minute, you stole my book and gifted it back to me?
Damian: Yes.
Jason: You little-
Damian: Look at the first page
Jason: *sighs and opens book* (;° ロ°) *carefully takes a seat then reads aloud the text* To Jason, you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will. With best wishes, Stephen King
Dick:
Tim:
Jason:
Damian: Yeah, Raven wanted to get her book signed so I got one of your copies and went with her. Sorry if you didn’t want anyone writing on it, he kinda added a few things to your notes
Jason: (⚆ᗝ⚆) *shaking, while holding the book* Stephen King read my notes?!?!?!
Damian: Yes, I remember him complimenting them and saying you were very observant.
Jason:

I firmly believe that except for Cass (because Cass scares him lowkey) the only of Bruce’s kids he can't yell at or lecture when they're in a bad mood are Dick and Tim.

Tim and Dick watch Bruce yell at the rest of their siblings like damn that could never be us. Cause Bruce knows that if he yells at Tim, Tim's moving out because he is ALWAYS looking for excuses to not come home. Tim doesn't even say shit either—he's out of the Manor before the next morning and Bruce knows he's seeing Red Robin not Tim for the next two months.

If Bruce makes the mistake of even slightly raising his voice at or taking a patronizing/disrespectful tone when Dick's in a bad mood, Dick immediately chooses violence. He goes straight for the jugular—aren't your parents dead as hell? At least mine taught me a craft before dying. I'm sure they hired someone to shoot them so they won't have to deal with your big mouth and ugly attitude. Furry ninja looking motherfucker. It's all rapid-fire too, so Bruce can't even process the first one before the next one comes

Dick "knows life on the hardest mode only" Grayson and Tim "I did my job as Robin, anything I'm doing for you right now is a FAVOR" Drake don't have his time
