Mushed into the pillow, the mound had the audacity to mumble, “Five more minutes.” Merlin stilled, gaped in outrage, then threw his arms wide. He resembled a very flustered pelican. “You— Five more minutes?! You woke up from a–a fifteen hundred year nap four months ago and you want to sleep in for another five - more - minutes?” “Mnhmm….” Lips smacked lazily. “Too early.” Merlin’s eyebrows jumped up his forehead and he leapt into his next words with a scoff, “Oh, I’ll show you ‘early’.” The mound went very, very still and then rocketed up like a jack-in-the-box. “Don’t you dare,” said Arthur, sheets puddled in his lap. --- After the royal prat made his grand re-entrance, Merlin took Arthur away to a little stone farmhouse (that he had purchased a century or two earlier) in order to better help him adjust to the present day where the cacophony of modern life would be less overwhelming. However, the place is old and needs its upkeep, so Merlin goes to wake His Majesty up for a day of gardening. Not that any gardening is accomplished.

Thanks to @courtjestermerlin for beta'ing!

The Honorary Janeth 👻A GHOST STORY

Fandom: Tales of Arcadia (Cartoons) Rating: Mature   Warnings: No Archives Warnings Apply Relationships/Characters: Lenora Janeth, Original Characters Theme: Origin Story, Set in the '70s, Explorations of Regret, Loss, Family, Duty

Lenora heads to her grandparent's house during vacation while her elder sister is at college, but magic follows her everywhere she goes and she can't shake the feeling life has a different calling for her than performing Shakespeare at the Globe.

Lenora had been on the road with her parents since four in the morning and the sun was beginning to set. She stifled a yawn, her eyes sleepily on the trees as they whizzed passed. It was dark, and she was tired, a fact she tried to keep in mind.

It made sense to her as her head bounced violently against her hand as the car hit a pothole in the road. Yes, it made sense that her brain would invent something to follow with her eyes. Something of interest. Such as a shadowy figure that ran, leapt, on all fours.

Still, her eyes fell on the shadowy figure, almost human-like, although the portions were off, like a giraffe had chosen to disguise itself as a human but hadn’t been entirely successful.

She wondered what part of her mind it had come from, what deep recesses of her psyche or unfettered reserves of imagination it had sprung. Lenora supposed if it spoke, she wasn’t so certain it could, the words would be breathless, raspy, almost longing in their hunger.

Perhaps it hunted her like a beast, or it chased after her like an inhuman devotee, desperate to cling to its unknowing mistress. Perhaps, long ago it had once been human, but time and circumstances had twisted, changed it beyond its mortal form.

A tragic fate, left to yearning for the tenderness that had long slipped its grasp.

Gael García Bernal & Raul Castillo in Cassandro (2023)

Raul Castillo: I saw Amores perros when I was still living in Austin before moving to New York. I saw a screening at the Paramount Theater on Congress Street at the Austin Film Festival. And I knew when I saw Amores perros that I was going to work with Gael García Bernal one day. I just knew it. And it became a reality last year. I got to work with Gael on a film called Cassandro. I was too sheepish to tell him. I'd be gushing if I did, and I didn't want to embarrass him like that. (x)

Habits that changed my life for the better

I stopped joking about myself. It was mostly about suicide jokes (it was a decision that I made after the worst moment of my journey with depression, if I can call it that), but, really, it's about all self-deprecating stuff. It may be just jokes, but it stays in your brain.

Positive attitude. It's similar to manifestation, in a way, but in a... down to earth way, I guess. Thinking positively about stuff changes everything for me. Almost everything is simpler.

I deleted Twitter. It may be a different social media for everyone, of course - now probably TikTok for most - but, well, Twitter was where I spent long hours everyday. I started taking breaks from it about a year and a half ago and deleted it in August. It was hard - I loved the community there and I miss the daily updates from my fav fandoms, but it's for the best. I still can't explain how Twitter affected me but I do feel better since I stopped spending so much time there.

Taking vitamins. I didn't think it would really make a difference but it definitely did. The biggest surprise for me was vitamin C - my immune system has improved super quickly when I started supplementing it. I didn't even realise how bad it was before. Other than that, I take B complex, A+E (hair, skin), and iron (i tend to have a deficiency of it). (& D when it's winter).

Having a consistent skin care routine. It's calming and both doing the routine and seeing the effects make me feel better. (I do realise that many people have more demanding skin than me and searching for the right products can be frustrating and expensive. I'm just talking about my experience).

Other things that I think are worth mentioning:

Therapy - just a short explanation that I've been on therapy (with breaks) for about 6 years now. I've had social anxiety for most of my life, now still struggle with depression (and amnesia, actually) a bit, but what I wanted to mention here is that I learned a lot from it. It's obvious, but I just think it's important to pinpoint that I did not just learn how to think more positively and love myself by myself.

Exercising! - I still struggle to make it a habit, but when I actually do exercise regularly (I do pilates), I really feel better. It's worth it.

Hydration - same with drinking water. I really don't think I have to explain it in any way lol.

me stoically navigating my way through drama bc bigger things are ahead and it’s not my fault people are dumb

#kissed a guy at a kickback and thought we caught a vibe only to find out he just wants to fuck me. next #friend’s bf of 7 years drunkenly hit on me at the same kickback (I was not ok w this). they ended up beefing over me. he denied everything. #do I want to be involved in this? no. and so I simply ignore it and keep it pushing #and the guy I kissed is cancelled. like he is dead to me. so that’s also taken care of #it’s back to studying full-time for the mcat #going to the gym/taking walks daily #volunteering at the refugee center + clinic #getting published in orgo research papers #and trying to snag the opportunity to shadow doctors at a massive cancer research center. like I’d kill for it #december was such a mess but I’ve finally made peace w the fact that most of the stuff that happened I couldn’t prevent #but I’ve mourned it enough !! whatever drama comes out of it I’ll handle just fine #i literally want to be a multitasking academic weapon everyone is intimidated of this year #i am not letting something as puny as a dumb man (both of them btw) stop me. goodbye #also everyone involved is older than me (they’re both 23) but it all just feels like such high school behavior #this is not a euphoria episode like I’m literally just not entertaining any of this #had to get this off my chest. i feel better #p

Kinda late to the party, but looking back, this is kinda objectively funny

That is the face of a man unsure of what exactly is touching him but is too polite (or freaked out) to say or do anything

There is an extensive list of things that are confusing him in that moment, and the humanoid fungus grabbing his wrist is in the top 5

Remembrance by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning

I finished binding Remembrance by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning, which is the next part of The Desert Storm Epic. This is currently volume 2 of a projected 14/15 volumes!

some stats:

97,852 words || 384 pages

Title font: Ghaomiec

i'm still using the lovely @celestial-sphere-press' beautiful typesets. Sticking with the current theme, i decided to do Coruscant this time, with the Jedi Temple front and centre. Egged on by Des, this design is something like 10 times more complicated and took an entire hour to weed. The bookcloth is Colibri Copper, while endpapers are @renato-crepaldi, whose papers i love. I finished the bind with gold and brown silk endbands in 3 colours. Am likely to vary it up a little with the next volume with a different bookcloth colour, just for kicks.

Next up, I do have one more FFWAD bind to complete, and once i'm done with that, my physical stack of textblocks will have decreased to 4 (SUCCESS) and i can let myself print more things. Am working on my list of author copies as usual, slowly but surely.

i'm also waiting on legal paper (in the right grain this time) very excitedly, because i want to make more legal quarto books.

Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen

A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death

#hellsing #alucard #kouta hirano #translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent #fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online #i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443' #but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands #the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake #anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool #if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first #and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf #i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia #then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point #but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page #and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. .... #i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh #the hellsing brainrot runs deep #also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491 #except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo #the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002 #which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out?? #i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch #sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less #it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was #maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'
