dude i fucking love how this server has communication as its premise and built into its fucking core. i fucking love that. bc it's one thing to be like 'this server is about multilingual communication and cultural exchange!!' bc that could present in any NUMBER of ways but like. with the federation and the eggs and a common shared goal they all decided WE ARE A TEAM. and like, ok,
when baghera was sus of jaiden because of the thing when pomme died and jaiden had been the reason baghera left her side for the only time that day, i wasn't even worried. i wasn't worried bc i was like "we just wait. because i know they will TALK TO EACH OTHER." and I WAS RIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER IT WAS ALL CLEARED UP AND BAGHERA WAS HELPING HER OUT WITH CUCURUCHO
and the ordo theoritas is functionally a secret organization. it would be SO EASY to gatekeep the lore, on grounds of "the federation is always watching and anyone could be a spy" and yet the ordo theoritas says that, like bad SAYS THAT, says OUT LOUD, "anyone could be a traitor" and then turns around and goes "hey person i've had a few days' worth of conversations with, here's a detailed rundown of everything we've learned about the island's mysteries, and the secret location of the ordo base". SOFIA was supposed to be secret from everyone, and for a little bit she was. but now like, the ordo theoritas is showing her to everyone. it would be SO EASY to hide things and to gatekeep things but they just. don't do it. here's the supercomputer!!!! don't forget to grab her waystone so you can come back anytime!!!
bad learns something. "i need to tell forever/cellbit/baghera". forever figures out a new way to protect the eggs, and he gets it to everyone within days. cucurucho tries to have a secret conversation and the entire server knows about it almost instantly and there are three people buried in the walls reading the subtitles and giving each other meaningful glances
i love it. i love it. miscommunication plotlines drive me up the fucking wall and the fact that i wasn't even SCARED when jaiden and baghera could easily have angled into an angsty tangled web of that and instead just MET WITH EACH OTHER AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND CLEARED THE AIR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY was so fucking breathtaking. and this is a multilingual server. this is a MULTILINGUAL SERVER. i love it. i love it so much i want to cry. it's a server for communication and people Communicate, it would have been SO EASY to slip into monolingual factions and stick to the familiar but they DIDN'T. they DIDN'T. WE GET TO HAVE A THEORY TABLE WITH SO MANY LANGUAGES SITTING AROUND IT. we get to have conspiracy walls in every language!!!! idk sometimes i forget how fucking CRAZY all this is, like the scale of what they've accomplished
so yea thank you to quackity and the qsmp admins for this, and thank you to the streamers for hearing 'this is about connections' and taking it ENTIRELY to heart, and also thank you to whoever the fuck decided to give quackity's school class the job to look after a fucking egg to learn about parenting. bc holy shit. holy shit.

u can literally talk abt ur own experiences with transphobia and people being violent or bigoted or cruel towards you because you're a trans man and people will compare you to deranged conspiracy theorists for daring to say you might experience discrimination. it's fucking crazy like what level of internet brainrot do you have to have to think it's helpful on any level to deny someone's experiences and call them conspiracy theorists because they're a trans man and "men aren't oppressed" or whatever

may i speak
the way that people have been consistently perceiving ellie is making my eye twitch a lil like genuinely ... what?? i know she's a fictional character so like whatever but it's more so the thought process or lack thereof lately that is just.. sort of stunning me, a little bit?
people complain about male gaze ellie (rightfully so) but then turn around and sexualize her to a point that is almost damn near concerning !! thirst trapping scenes of her literally traumatized, breaking down and having panic attacks, sexualizing her appearance when she was quite literally the most unhealthy she had ever been and barely eating, barely sleeping, etc. not to mention for some reason the majority of people perceiving her as some sadistic dom with serial cheater tendencies as if she's not capable of any emotional depth.
it just makes my head spin a little and yes it's not real whatever it's just weird i guess seeing a character that i grew up with rapidly being treated like this all of a sudden, not to mention these behaviors are usually stemming from younger people as well?? it just makes me want to gatekeep her character and keep her in a bubble.. like omg girl has been through so much and is now unfortunately one of those mainstream characters that gets treated like shit by their community and the general public

Hello! This is @s-i-d-t (on anon because Tumblr won't let you send asks from a side blog, apparently). I've done a few image descriptions for you in the past, and I've been wondering - is there a name and/or pronouns you'd like to be used for your persona in image descriptions? I've been using they/them but realized I should probably ask if I'm gonna keep doing descriptions for you moving forward
Hey! Firstly thank you so much for writing those image descriptions! I really appreciate it and I know lots of my other followers do as well ❤️
I'm actually good with any pronouns so they/them is totally fine!
I'm not sure about my comic person's name though. Irl I'm called Anna but I don't know if I want my comic self to be named the same since they're a representation of me and not actually me if that makes sense? I've been considering giving them a separate name or a nickname but just 'a person' is probably alright for now.
Thank you again for describing my comics! ☺️

as ludicrous as it would be I'd love it if dnp announced they're having a kid just to see people bend over backwards to defend the concept of platonic friends n unconventional child sharing parenthood methods or whatever instead of just respecting that when someone says they wish to keep their relationship private it probably just means they're not hard launching via gay sex on instagram stories and that you're not forbidden to assume they're together until they officially introduce eachother as my romantic life partner with whom I regularly practice homosexual intercourse

Just when I think my obsessive thoughts of "everyone hates you are you and finds you annoying" are just in my head, Tumblr anons are there to reassure me 😔👍

On a slightly more serious note, I just wanna post this before the final entry, not counting the epilogue. I’m so, so thankful for Dracula Daily. It’s been an absolute blast beginning to end, reading discourse, seeing the jokes and memes and all the art, reading theories and reactions. And getting to be apart of that! Reading this book again in this format was a hell of an experience but the fact that I didn’t do it alone, I don’t know. We’ve all gotten to experience this book in a new way in real time together. I love that. And I hope that it won’t be just a one-off event, either. And even if it is? But this? It’s been wonderful. So, thank you to everyone for collectively going nuts over a 130 year old novel. Thank you for posting and making those artworks and memes and analyses. Reminds you you’re human and not stuck and alone.
