I鈥檝e never seen any Dracula movie (I knew some of the general story from being alive for 30+ years and I鈥檓 now doing Dracula Daily), and seeing your posts about the awful choices the adaptations have made make me really happy with my life choices of not having watched any. I need the Muppets to make an adaptation; they haven鈥檛 let me down yet.
Okay, but when are we going to get an actually textually accurate Dracula adaptation instead of the endless schlock we have been foisted with to date? We have a legion of new Dracula fans who are INTIMATELY informed about the book thanks to reading it closely in small (or uh, not so small) chunks every day and writing extensive analysis about it afterward, so I am just saying. There is a market for this.

ok so this is a headcanon ive been mulling over for a while but there have been several aus where there is an opposite to the fears that can counteract them and while i think that鈥檚 a cool concept to explore, usually the opposite force is love.
dont get me wrong, it鈥檚 a super cool idea and really fun to read about but it鈥檚 not really the opposite of fear. and the whole jist of the fears is that they are so powerful bc they are a primal force felt by everything that can feel and it鈥檚 debatable whether animals and the like can feel love like we think of it.
my proposal for the nega fears: entities/gods of safety. being safe is the opposite of fear and would have existed just as long bc of that
you can create some cool sub entities/gods like cooperation, trust, and comfort. a entity/god of love is also possible here so if you want to still keep that aspect. i just think it would be cool to see how this would work.
like i said, this is just a headcanon and if someone wants to do anything with this go ahead, just lmk so i can gush over it

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

collection of useful things tumblr has taught me:
even if you can't fall asleep, laying down with your eyes closed will still rest your body
you don't have to brush your teeth standing up
you don't have to do any chore standing up, from dishes to showering
you don't have to shower with the lights on
if you can't brush your teeth, flossing and a tongue scraper gets rid of plaque and bad breath
if you can't do that, mouthwash kills a lot of bacteria
eating "unhealthy" food is better than eating no food
you can make the same meal everyday for however long you still want it
some pills come in syrups or chewables if you can't swallow them
kids nutritional shakes can be a quick way to get fuel if you can't eat/don't have time
if walking hurts/exhausts you on a regular basis, canes and rollers are for you, no matter how young you are
we have free will鈥攊f doing something "out of the ordinary" makes life easier for you, do it
if you have even a dollar to spare, please consider donating to Alaikum's family.
they're a large family at only 10% of their goal to evacuate, and could use any help you can give!!

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

Sometimes I鈥檓 reminded that in universe Chilchuck is an actually influential figure who like. Made huge advancements for his people and community. Like as in gave them rights and protections. And who is widely known by half-foots because of that. Like. He鈥檚 not just some guy.
Idk For some reason that just makes his role in canon really funny to me. Like this older, extremely important and accomplished figure is just willingly putting himself thru it for the sake of this random autistic 26 year old.

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter鈥檚 Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier鈥檚 garb under a doorway at Pompeii)
