Sydney x Adrian and Ash x Mary-Lynnette have the same "smart girl + party boy" vibe.
My two favourite vamp x human ships from my two favourite vampire series. I guess, I do have a certain preference huh.
But seriously, if you like Sydrian go read Daughters of darkness

bad ya authors will write characters having "bronze skin" "golden skin" "olive skin" when they in fact are thinking abt white but barely tanned references. so when there's a live action or a fan art where said characters look white, they'll come in defense saying it"s not racist. like im sorry sandra but that is NOT what you wrote

Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer was born #OTD (South Africa, 24 February 1907 – 17 May 2004). She is best known for her key role in the 1938 rediscovery of the Coelacanth, a fish with a fossil record going back over 400 million years which was thought to have gone extinct during the K-Pg extinction event of 66 millions years ago.

Below are her original sketch and desciption of the specimen she recovered from a South African fishing boat's catch and did her best to preserve until the ichthyologist she was writing to, J. L. B. Smith (South African, 1897 - 1968) could arrive to identify it. He was indeed able to confirm it was the long-lost Coelacanth, and give the genus the scientific name Latimeria in her honor.
