Cecil Palmer could do TMA but Jon Sims could not do WTNV. Cecil has no fucking curiosity, as the Archivist he would read all the statements and go “golly, these sure are fun :)” then find out about the Fears and kill Elias in three days. Jon in Night Vale would be fired and eaten day 1

Dracula in Kids' Media: Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater: Catula (1987)

Dracula Himself Or A Parody Of Dracula: A parody called Countess Catula, played by antagonistic character Catnip

Good or Evil: Evil

Premise: Hello Kitty and her friends put on a play where they are called to Catsylvania to investigate the theft of the village’s milk. The perpetrator is none other than the vampires Countess Catula, who, with the help of her henchmen Grinder, brings Hello Kitty and her friends to her castle.

Connections to the Dracula Novel And/Or Adaptations: Catula drinks milk instead of blood, but has plenty of other similarities to Dracula; she lives in a castle near a place with a name ending in “sylvania”, she can turn into a bat, she is repelled by garlic (but a peg on her nose renders that moot) and she traps the heroes in her castle for her evil plans. The heroes are also brought to the castle by horse-drawn coach, though in this case it’s Grinder driving the coach rather than a disguised Catula.

Other Notes: This features one of the few female versions of Dracula, along with Hello Kitty playing something of a female Jonathan Harker. Given that there were only two female main characters in the original novel, this sort of adaptation is welcome. Even the 1924 play version originally featured a female Quincey Morris and the 2020 BBC Dracula had many problems, but making Van Helsing female was not one of them.

The most amusing thing about this episode is when they say “Catsylvania” and it sounds like “Castlevania”.

Catula has one of the strangest defeats of any version of Dracula. A lot of post-Nosferatu Draculas are destroyed by sunlight, even though it wasn’t originally lethal to Stoker’s character, but here, Catula melts due to a series of camera flashes.

Many young wizards have taken to transmuting swans into humans and marrying them. One day, you are lucky enough to find a swan in the wild, and without hesitating, you turn it into a beautiful lady. Unfortunately, that ‘swan’, was a goose. You have just given a goose a human form.

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

i think what I love about the ending of O’dessa is that it says;

- YES they loved each other

• YES that wasn’t enough to save them

3. AND YES, that love is inspiration and hope to make a better future!!!

the other retellings end on a tragedy this one ends acknowledging the tragedy but that gives way to HOPE

Kendrick: America is built off of the backs of slaves whose descendants, who were promised freedom and reparations they never got, are now being told that they're not good enough for this country. We're told that we're too black, we're too ghetto, we make everything too political. The elite like to watch us fight amongst ourselves because that way they'll be safe from the consequences of their actions.

Y'all: HAHA wow, Kendrick played Not Like Us!!! Everyone called Drake a pedophile!!! Kendrick is such a hater about This One Guy and This One Guy Only, this is a single instance after all, that's so funny. Anyway (proceeds to never interact with anything else he makes ever again)

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
