I am absolutely disgusted to learn that crown owns our castles and the profits are sent to Westminster. Wales is struggling, our economy is struggling, our people are struggling, our health services are struggling, and that money could go to the betterment of our lives - instead it goes to England.

despite the fact we maintain the castles and land, we don't own them. they are in OUR country. ownership should belong to us, the people who built them. we maintain them. we work in them. theyre ours and we should be able to use the profits generated by them to help welsh people, not allow the money be funnelled into the monarchy.

the fact the crown owns so much of wales is such an outdated and medieval concept and has no place in modern society.

please sign. I am disgusted.

We love to see it

I am currently absolutely losing it listen.

I took out from the library the Spanish translation of Dracula, because what better thing to do after reading Dracula than reread it in my language. I flipped to today's note, because curious. And then I got to the Holmward line, and I died.

The OG: "[...] which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married."

The more natural (in Stoker's heterosexual meaning) translation: "...que ahora podemos rememorar sin desesperación, porque tanto Godalming como Seward están felizmente casados." (Empathizes each one, separately, are happily married.)

The absolute Gigachad of a translation I read: "...que ahora podemos rememorar sin desesperación, porque Godalming y Seward se han casado, y son felices." (Literally just. Art and Seward got married and are happy. There is literally no way to read this heterosexually unless you have the world's thickest Straight glasses.)

Anyway I hope translator Francisco Torres Oliver has all the bitches he wants of any gender he likes them.

Quincey's riding his childhood horse in the thickest fog he ever encountered, when a figure appears in the near distance. Quincey tips his head as he slows down to stop in front of her.

'Why, if it isn't that lovely Miss Lucy. Say, little girl, won't you just hitch up alongside of me, and let us go down the long road together, driving in double harness?'

he died like he wanted, in a grand adventure, slaying a big evil while saving a girl he had promised that she’d never regret the kindness she had shown him

I made a Dracula Daily questionnaire! To see how you're all experiencing this internet phenomenon. It is a bit long, I think, but it might be fun as well.

Please reblog this so it also reaches people who don't look in the tags as much. I want as many responses as I can, of course.

you know what pisses me off? they completely dropped renfield, not a single one of the guys even thought of staying till he atleast passed away, renfield died the same way he lived out his days at the asylum:all alone, unable to move, confused, scared, and with nobody there to comfort him

Dracula: "You think to baffle me, you—with your pale faces all in a row, like sheep in a butcher's. You shall be sorry yet, each one of you! You think you have left me without a place to rest; but I have more. My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side. Your girls that you all love are mine already; and through them you and others shall yet be mine—my creatures, to do my bidding and to be my jackals when I want to feed. Bah!"

Dracula: *immediately flees the country*

Y’all have no idea how long I’ve been saving this photo of my cats for, for this precise moment.

Poor man.
