Incorrect Quotes: You Drive Me (LITERALLY) Crazy!

Iroh: Having heard Zuko complaining about Katara for the thousandth time. Do you love her?

Zuko: Affronted A normal human being couldn't live under the same roof as her without going nutty! She's my idea of nothing!

Iroh: I asked you a simple question! Do you love her?

Zuko: Yes! 😡 But don't hold that against me. I'm a little screwy myself.

They weren’t kidding when they said they like holding hands 

Except they never specified whose hands

Oh wow. Today's entry is something else. I remembered the scene with the three vampire women was memorable, but the sheer tension of it, the way Jonathan describes being torn between desire and terror. An agony of delightful anticipation. No wonder people have been thirsting after vampires for decades, holy shit.

#there is *so much* going on in this entry. the whole bit about the Count being able to love?? #the Count *softly whispers* that he's also able to love. *softly whispers*. #there's a monster here with you. he's trapping you. he's hunting you. he's driving you to madness. you can't save yourself. #and he *softly whispers* that he can love. that he can love you. #but his love is hunger and in being the object of his love you're doomed. #im going feral ngl. holy hell. #the *description* of the blonde vampire going to bite jonathan's neck... ohhh my god thank goodness i was seated #because i felt his excruciating anticipation myself #no wonder i haven't read carmilla yet i'm not sure i'd be able to cope #i'll come back to reread this entry because it's a masterclass in how to write anticipation #also the Count says he has loved the brides too. diversity win! #the monster currently trapping you in his castle is bisexual! #dracula daily

(Hi omg its 10:30pm here i wonder if anyone will even see this atm but anyway)

I did a day for Zora May!

Today I picked "Alternative Design" and my mind immediately went to the Lionfish Mipha design showed off in the creating a champion artbook! I remember the day I saw it I immediately fell in love, and I wondered about the Mipha we could have had. (DGMW I still very much love canon Mipha!! EvenIfIWishSheWasBigger)

I just love how spikey and kinda intimidating she is!! Though I'll admit the appearance doesn't exactly match the personality of the Mipha we know, I still think it could have been a fun contrast.

#ZoraMay #Zora May #Mipha #BotW #Zelda #tLoZ #LoZ #Im aware its not actually the month of may but you really cant count on me to do things on time lol #so im just going to throw entries in whenever I can #bc im sure I mentioned this countless times but OMG I LOVE THE ZORA!!!!! theyre my favorite zelda race!! so i welcome the excuse to draw em #plus having prompts actually helps a lot bc another thing about me is i actually... have a trash imagination. a hard time picturing things? #whoops there I go rambling in the tags again kbye

[chiropteracupola]

actually I have decided that I need to restore my Discussable Fantasy Enjoyer Qualifications so I am going on a quest for a copy of temeraire Right Now

#news from the cupola #entry form for a thing: list your favorite sff media #me: ah fuck I didn't know there was going to be a quiz #probably I should be good if I just say lotr and the rook and jsamn but also my brain is in the military-novel zone these days #and I think I have a too-broad definition of fantasy where the sort of Balladland Genre where foth and perilous gard and sutcliff stuff are #also counts as that. but those are more popularly regarded as historical fiction. Is The Thing. #this is one of those forms where the compulsion of 'just lie just lie just lie' is near and close but also in this case you can Tell #because I am entirely incapable of being obscure when I am Into something. good morning I can't shut up at all ever.

A question for my concert going friends: how do you feel about artists/venues doing priority entry? As in early entry, not disabled etc. Personally I really dislike it, as it pushes that idea that you can only be a "real fan" if you have enough money to do so. And "real/better" fans are always perceived as the ones at the front or with the best merch.

I'm probably just bitter as I don't have the money to be able to do priority entry lol, but I think it is just generally unfair, and I really wish more artists would stop doing it. Also if you're in the UK you probably know how the O2 venues work, and I just think thats ridiculous.

#I posted this on Facebook but I feel like people will be more honest here #as someone who LOVES being by the barrier at a concert #that shit is EARNED #its so heartbreaking when you've queued for hours and hours #just to see people who've paid more arrive at doors and get in before you #and yes you could say that working extra hours counts as earning that spot too #as it means you can pay for the priority entry etc #but queuing those few hours is just so much more accessible for most #and easier than picking up extra shifts imo #of course its never going to be 100% fair #but I just wish more artists and venues would see how hurtful having early entry is #have VIP and shit thats cool #but people who cant afford that still deserve to see their favourite band up close yk? #instead of having to stand behind all the “proper fans” #I have physically been pushed backwards because of this #because I was second row and I made the mistake of telling someone that I was regular GA #the person behind me had paid for VIP and acted like I was not allowed to be in front of her #even tho I got to my space before she was there #no one is entitled to be at the front #I have arrived at doors and still gotten second row #I've also arrived 4 hours early and not gotten the front row #but I wish I had gotten it fairly #instead of having to pay more #wow that was a rant #I have said my piece #I would love to know your opinions on this

[ID: The "was anybody going to tell me" meme, edited to read, "Okay, was anybody going to tell me that Dracula's house was across from Queen Victoria's or was I just supposed to read a map of London myself?"]

So I'm sure this is obvious to anyone who knows London well, but for those of us who don't, it turns out that Piccadilly is not an area of London, but a single long street.

The blue line below shows Piccadilly.

The red line is the part of Piccadilly Dracula's Piccadilly house is on (Jonathan walks westward from Piccadilly Circus, and comes across the house "beyond the Junior Constitutional". The Junior Constitutional club was at 101-104 Piccadilly, so the house must be between that and the West end of the street.)

[ID: An extract of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map 'London Sheet VII.SW' revised 1893 to 1895, published: 1894 to 1896 showing the area of London around "Green Park". Blue, red and purple lines have been edited onto the map. The blue line marks out Piccadilly, a long street stretching from the junction Piccadilly Circus and running roughly South-West. Approximately the west-most half of Piccadilly has a park called 'Green Park' to the south of it. Approximately the last third of Piccadilly on the west end of the street is marked in red. Roughly opposite the red line across the Green Park is an area of land marked "Palace Gardens". Within the gardens, Buckingham Palace is shown, circled in purple.]

#count dracula #dracula daily #ok so i was actually looking at the maps and figured this out back in january or something #but didn't get my act together to post this until after dracula daily started #so i thought i would wait until the time the piccadilly house was mentioned #then i was away with limited access to internet #so this is a bit late oops #i know back in the 1970s the president of the dracula society or something supposedly identified the exact house as 138 piccadilly #but i don't think 138 really works without 139 as 138's steps are very low but 139 has probably the highest steps on the street #138 and 139 were built as one property but were split by stoker's time #but regardless of whether you include 139 or not #138 and/or 139 doesn't technically have 'a bow on it' - according to the list description 138 has a 'canted bay' #to me 105 has a more compelling front elevation and position on the street #but it lacks a yard at the back and just backs directly onto the mews #but at the end of the day i don't suppose stoker was trying to say any of the actual houses along piccadilly was dracula's house #i think his description of the architecture was just trying to evoke an incredibly fancy house on an already-very-fancy street #can you tell i spent far too long researching and thinking about all this? #anyway if you've got this far in the tags what are we thinking? #did the count just choose piccadilly for easy access to high society and powerful people? #or when he was 'creeping into knowledge experimentally [...] making use of [renfield] to effect his entry into friend John’s home' #was he intending to use what he learnt to 'effect entry' to buckingham palace to sip on queen vic? #02 october #03 0ctober

Barking Harker Cast Snapshot 2: A White ‘Lady’ of Whitby Abbey

“Accursed misbirth of hell! I understand your hatred of the food of mankind. You get your sustenance out of the burying-ground, damnable creature that you are!”

As soon as those words had passed his lips, the Countess flew at him, uttering a sound between a snarl and a howl, and bit him on the breast with the fury of a hyena. He dashed her from him on to the ground, raving fiercely as she was, and she gave up the ghost in the most terrible convulsions. —“Aurelia; or, The Tale of a Ghoul”

Right over the town is the ruin of Whitby Abbey, which was sacked by the Danes, and which is the scene of part of "Marmion," where the girl was built up in the wall. It is a most noble ruin, of immense size, and full of beautiful and romantic bits; there is a legend that a white lady is seen in one of the windows. Between it and the town there is another church, the parish one, round which is a big graveyard, all full of tombstones. […] They have a legend here that when a ship is lost bells are heard out at sea. I must ask the old man about this; he is coming this way.... […]

He is, I am afraid, a very skeptical person, for when I asked him about the bells at sea and the White Lady at the abbey he said very brusquely:—

"I wouldn't fash masel' about them, miss. Them things be all wore out.” —Mina Harker, Mr. Swales, Dracula

She is not the Lady, whoever that pale wraith is meant to be. She is neither a walled-in maiden nor a dead holy woman stalking the ruins. Frankly, she’s not even at the Abbey the whole of her year. Merely visiting with all the other tourists. She comes for the view and the cuisine alike.

The only trouble with the place of late was that mess following the Demeter. Some uniquely dead codgers and their unhappy spirits, which was fine. A dead dog, which was not. A certain Black Dog roaming, which was worse. And a dog that was not a dog, but one of those cheating dead; the walking, talking, blood-burgling sorts who went around mucking up the natural order of things. ‘Natural’ here meaning ‘supper stays in its damn dirt box.’ So she tells him. He informs her in turn that she doesn’t know who she speaks to.

On the contrary, Count Cadaver. She can smell the dead legions on him. The screaming innocents who died in toil or twitching on pikes. The babes. The sailors. The codgers. Yes, he’s positively rancid with death and power and et cetera. Duly impressed, she is. But not as much as she is annoyed at this new grisly wrinkle in her routine. And she is not even half as annoyed as she is hungry. For she is of the living that consumes the dead. It should be said that her bite lasts on a corpse, no matter how puffed up or well-dressed he is. He might kill her if he’s quick about it, true. But he will have to get close.

And she imagines he’ll have a hell of a time enjoying England with a necrotized hole where his face should be.

Count Cadaver makes his exit and she doesn’t see those fair maidens in their nighties at the Abbey again—bittersweet, that—and time marches. Other cemeteries call. She digs and dines. Until one night she lets herself into a fine tomb in the Hampstead area. Westenra is engraved on the stone and a familiar fair face waits inside.

(Not the one in the coffin; too staked and sliced and delectably decayed for that. But the face of the fair maiden in the corner, neither resting nor at peace…)

Alrighty then, just gonna do a little counting and update that journal to see where we stand with an approximate new total of Pokemon introduced-

oh....1,030 altogether huh...hm

#Unless they have their own disctinct pokedex entry or forms / i just count them as a snigular #(i forget exactly how I have it in my books) But as as long as the base form is done then thats a singular pokemon #others are just just dazzling new forms #Eevee and it's evolutions are disntict from each other so they count seperately #so if you can kinda follow my logic there/ that's how Im working it #but yeah.....there's a good bit of them out there #and I havent actually shortedned it in forms of evolution chains #so im certain if one just counted a single pokemon and it's evolutions as one /itd be different #okay im tired from typing and counting so im gonna take a nap

ok BUT. vegaspete immortals au.

pete quietly joining kinn’s clan of young, feisty new immortals without revealing that he is hundreds of years older. pete hiding his years behind the brick wall of his smile, deflecting conversation about his past. pete’s ruthlessness and lack of care for humanity occasionally slipping out, but being brushed under the rug.

pete getting kidnapped by vegas, the lieutenant of the rival clan. vegas torturing pete, thinking pete is young and innocent like the rest. pete maintaining the facade (out of pity for this young, naive child, who has no idea what he is stepping into). right until vegas taunts him and he snaps.

#vegaspete #kinnporsche #kinnporsche the series #vegaspete feral posting #this doesn’t count as a meta #writing stuff #fic stuff #ig #i want to develop this au actually it could be really interesting #porsche as the traditional newbie entry point to all this #and vegaspete as the late stage sudden intense romance. #can u tell i accidentally started reading some old vampire diaries fics from my ao3 bookmarks at 1am last night. #like just picture the scene where both vegas and pete smile at each other after they kiss. but with this context #vegas is an amateur compared to pete. he has no idea what he is playing with #i just absolutely love the twist on the genre that pete creates. he’s such an anomaly

for real shoutout to 2 trans 2 furious zine's impending printed availability in a handful of presumed indie bookshops hither & yon....that Is fun as hell overall and in knowing that wynnstannery led to a page in a book that someone might wander into their whimsical local bookstore and flip through and learn about cam stone

#plus all the individuals' preorders that have already happened....and that's not even counting the intended digital option #2 trans 2 furious #my [that contribution title] wasn't lying [i want everyone to know cam stone; nonbinary f&f character; already exists] #i didn't title it Exactly That but extremely similar. like ''i want everyone to know about nonbinary fast & furious character cam stone'' #also got the Printed Copy advantage of that very flip throughability #there's definite other comics / illustrations / collages / pics / edits etc but it is Mostly Shortform Text entries #so the breaks in text for images will not only have the [more immediate visual parsability] of images always but ofc be rarer #that is. flip through and learn about cam stone all the more readily / quickly lol.
