"Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured."

Although Dracula was published in 1897, some think that it takes place in 1893 because of the way the days and dates used line up. If that's the case, Jonathan Harker's epilogue, seven years later, would have been added around 1900. A new era bubbling with new change and new conventions. The story ends with Jonathan looking ahead to a new century filled with the unknown and being able to look on the past, despite its darkness, "without despair."

#dracula #dracula daily #November 7 #thanks to anon who mentioned 'new woman' term didn't get officially coined until 1894 #but at the same time certain technology mentioned in the book didn't get its stride until the early 1890s #by publication it ends near the end of the century either way #but ending exactly on 1900 would be an extra nice touch #Jonathan harker #mina harker #1893 was also the year that electricity was displayed on a large scale for the first time at the Colombian Exposition in Chicago #also known as the “World's Fair” #bram stoker #quincey morris #jack seward #abraham van helsing #arthur godalming #the emphasis on modern methods and technology and unconventional characters throughout and then ending with the beginning of a new era #dracula analysis #dracula thoughts #one of those things where you wonder if it was intentional or just worked out really well #twilight-zoned-out #did not keep up with drac daily very well this year #but congratulations to those who did

Table of approximate life years of the characters in the Hazbin Hotel

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13P-IBVWjQCxdTBugDELkhP3F_iyFwNqSTmufVLmV__8/edit?usp=drivesdk

Made it because many people don’t seem to realize that a huge part of the characters were alive at the same time

#hazbin hotel #Angel Husk and Vox were most likely born in 1910 #Vox are good at adapting to changes in technology and other things #Alastor is simply stuck in the days of his youth #Husk died old and decided to grumble like an old man throughout his posthumous existence #Nifty and Valentino were most likely born in 1930 which obviously had a big impact on both of them #Katie Killjoy is a boomer #Velvette - millennial #did not add characters whose date of birth and death is unknown angels and hellborn #hazbin hotel sir pentious #hazbin hotel tom trench #hazbin hotel mimzy #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #hazbin hotel vox #hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel niffty #hazbin hotel katie killjoy #hazbin hotel cherri bomb #hazbin hotel velvette #update: Velvet died when she was 30 #I thought late 20s (maybe 27-29) but that's not true

I have just reached the 2000s era of Columbo and it's wild seeing him shambling around in the middle of the dance floor at a rave like a lost puppy on the side of the road

#i feel i should also mention he's wearing a bright pink feather boa during all this #columbo #on a side note i love how you can just see the evolution of technology throughout this series too #like one earlier episode is making a big deal out of like... answering machines and voice mail as a fancy new technology #and now this episode has big chunky cell phones and email and a soundtrack that sounds like a bunch of lazer guns rhythmically firing off

Hello?

Ok important to the story he was on a reservation in the dead of winter. One of his neighbours (his sister/my grandmother's mom) had recently gotten a gas lamp for the first time and was showing it off to him so he decided to get one for himself. My great grandma had stayed over to help him get it set up but was turning in for the night before he was, and so she just told him to turn out the light when he was done.

The issue is that they were speaking Cree and the specific wordage used was more akin to "blow out the light" and so when my great granduncle tried to blow it out like a standard lamp, nothing happened. He then panicked and chucked the thing out into the snow, then went to bed.

#letters opened #This story is courtesy of my grandmother btw. She told it while talking about the advances in technology throughout her life #and how moving from the reservation to the city only exacerbated the speed of it

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #2

Jira can largely be classified as a Science Fantasy world but because of the scale of the Jira project it's more accurate to categorize the different eras of Jira into different genres. For now they are as follows:

Prehistory - Speculative Biology

Surface era - Medieval Fantasy

Dispace era - Underground Fantasy

Early Island era - Fantasy

Era of science - Steampunk

Modern Era - Modern Contemporary

Cyber era - Scifi 

Post Cyber era - Eco Scifi

Do your cats make jam? If so, with what fruits? Man, I can’t help but picture Amaranth making jam for the kittens! Also, I’m confused. If a tom is staying without going to the coalition, he is forbidden from mating. But what about Ursinia and Larkspur? I’m confused.😐

Hmm a quick jaunt over to wikipedia suggests that they wouldn't quite have the resources to preserve fruits in the form of jams. More likely, Amaranth is teaching the kittens how to dry meats to keep over the Sleeping Year <3

Ursinia and *Honeysuckle got permission to have kittens from the Matrons because Honeysuckle was an outsider .o. theirs was an uncommon pairing, it doesn't happen too often

#everything y'all question about pride law is exactly what Lotus questions! #all things that inevitably lead to change #the point of the laws (from a meta level) is that by making them immutable #you then encounter situations down the line when the culture or technology has changed #and the immutable law has suddenly become a curse rather than a blessing #this is why gun laws where originally so lax! because they made them for muskets #coev very much has those themes throughout #coev: laws and codes #coev: ursinia #coev: honeysuckle #worldbuilding #coev: goldspring #xenomoggy

it can be hard to fashion a critique of contemporary painting without accidentally coming across as somewhat conservative. Having said that, learning that a lot of painters project photographs onto their canvases and trace them rather than sketching stuff out breaks my heart a little bit

#I know the argument can be made that optical devices like camera obscura have been used throughout the history of painting but cmon #there’s a big difference between those technologies and using digital projection #I don’t think it’s morally bad. I don’t think it’s even technically bad. I just like drawing more than I like painting #and tracing over a digital projection just feels like it reduces drawing to an absolute minimum which makes me sad #blog

As much as I prefer hard magic to soft magic in just about any setting, I would argue that hard magic isn’t actually magic, it’s fictional science. I will explain.

Consider the laws of thermodynamics. In this setting we call life, they are immutable. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and in any practical application a system will operate at a loss because the energy takes the form of inefficiencies like sound and heat. So if you were doing an energy balance equation for a system and you found that it was gaining energy, the only explanation (assuming you’ve done everything correctly) is magic. Something impossible has happened.

So if you have a setting that operates on hard magic principals, then you are establishing a new set of rules for what is and isn’t possible. In a world in which the process by which someone shoots fire from their hands is theoretically measurable and follows a set of consistent rules, regardless of whether or not they are known, fire being shot from your hands is just a perfectly normal and valid expression of the laws that govern the universe. If it is replicable, explainable, and objectively true, it is science. The science may not be real or applicable to the world we live in, but within the context of the setting, if it follows the rules it is science.

Shooting fire from your hands in a world where there is a fundamental truth allowing you to do so is no more magical than air conditioning is in this one.

#writing #worldbuilding #hard magic #magic #sure you can call it magic #you can call it whatever you want #and you can say whatever quote about sufficiently advanced technology or sufficiently unexplained science #but when you make a set of rules about the universe and they remain consistent throughout you have invented a truth

my brain ? stuck on the idea of bucky going to places or experiencing things where who he is or was doesn't matter :') yes i am thinking of him in a planetarium in those rooms where you can see the stars, it's a little cool in the room, dark ... holographic stars twinkling and moving about with some recording echoing throughout, talking about some constellations while he walks around. he doesn't shy away from new technology, he is amazed by a lot of it tbh .... perhaps he'll even tell you later on in the night about the stories he remembers his ma telling him. making up their own constellations and stories about them. bucky's imagination being wildly vivid as it is in his dreams and nightmares ... ( but also my brain hurts thinking about bucky in love with the stars, only to have a star on his left shoulder ...? don't talk to me i'm fragile ... )

#oh why did you have to make it sad !! idk ... idk !! #but just a point that bucky is pretty technologically savvy ! #he had to adapt with technology throughout the decades after all ... #seeing the stars in the room? seeing how far we've come to discovering things??? #oh just send him to veNTOLIN please #the lost glove is happy :') #❪ ⠀ * ⠀ ─── ⠀ 𝙽*𝚃𝙵𝙻𝙸𝚇'𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚆𝙸𝙽𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚂𝙾𝙻𝙳𝙸𝙴𝚁. ⠀﹕ ⠀ visuals. ⠀ ❫ #also the little dots ! the little dots on his arms and over his shoulders

Consider this a spiritual successor to my Re-Animator Youtubers post, but boy howdy do I love being part of niche ass fandoms that have a surface level audience of cishet guys in their 30s who’s experience with nuance in media starts and ends with knowing Raleigh wasn’t really the main character of pacrim. I’m fighting for my life in these fucking YouTube comments.

#guys really out here saying newt just like Charlie Kelly he think he smart but really he dumb #I’m begging on my hands and knees for the most infinitesimal crumb of media comprehension #please #please can we understand that just because newt gets beat up by his own technology on multiple occasions throughout pacrim does not mean he #doesn’t know what tHE FUCK HES DOING #ALSO if I have to hear one more guy say it’s ‘unrealistic’ to have a guy in this monster movie be really into the really cool and awesome #monsters I swear- #the whole fucking point was the fact that humanity got complacent and hubristic because we kept winning against the kaiju + newt already had #an intense fascination with the kaiju because he is neurodivergent and a biologist so it actually #makes perfect fucking sense for him within the societal climate to have this kind of interest in them. #like they had religions for these bitches. ofc some weird little gay guy was gonna get tattoos of them. #i can’t deal with them calling him stupid tho #these guys got what I like to call ‘iasip cisman brainrot’ #they see Charlie Day in any piece of media and think ‘oh hey the guy from sunny’ and then their brain just shuts down #chronic inability to separate him from this ONE SHOW #it’s soooo fucking annoying #like I get it he definitely has a unique energy that kind of carries over between characters but like give the guy some damn credit #the bitch can act if you’d just LET HIM #anyway it’s midnight and I’m not in my right mind #goodnight y’all #pacific rim #pacrim #newt geiszler #newton geiszler #charlie day

I think I’ve said this before on here but. it really baffles and somewhat annoys me sometimes how people hear that a character is in their 40s-50s and immediately assume they should be weak or feeble or less attractive than they are. like. no. i think everyones just been brainwashed to think that attractiveness/health/worth is determined by how young someone is. why is it more understandable to view a teenager as more attractive and capable than a fit 40-50-something year old. kinda wack

#don’t get me wrong this isn’t to say that older characters shouldn’t show signs of aging #like obviously they should- though also keeping in mind here that people show aging vastly differently and throughdifferent lengths of time #ie; some people go grey in their 30s. some don’t go grey at all #and as for physical ability it just depends on a person’s routines and the life they’ve lead up to that point– a guy who’s been slumped over #a desk in a cubicle for 30 years isn’t gonna be as likely to maintain muscle as a lumberjack or a personal trainer #obviously I’m talking about ykz characters in this post and specifically kiryu/majima. mostly kiryu though really cause it’s more bizarre to #me to point him out as being Elderly and unrealistically fit and handsome for his age #like. becuase hes not even that old. he’s 54 currently and I see people saying stuff about him like this throughout the time he’s been in #his 40s to early 50s– like dude do you know that like. most of the famous actors you see in live action films are in their 40s-50s. this #isn’t the 1950s man. you can be 40 50 60 and look Not Elderly and have an active life. that’s the magic of modern medicine and technological #advancements. crazy I know #sorry ranting here I just always get so thrown off by this #admittedly I think it makes me feel weird when exaggerate their ages so much partly cause my own parents are smack in the middle #of kiryu/majima’s canon ages (1966) so I see like. literally every day what a person in their mid-50s is Like. and it’s not at all like the #weird feeble characature so many younger people in this fanbase have for them #I couldn’t view my mother- as she is right now (56)- as ‘elderly’ if I fuckin tried dude #and she’s not half as physically fit and active in her lifestyle as someone like fuckin kiryu or majima so. yeah #(she is still quite active but less in a Working Out sorta way and more in a gardening and yard work and goes to burning man sorta way) #(she’s a psychologist though so her job isn’t very physically active is my point- as opposed to someone who’s job is #physically active. you get it) #anyway sorry I need to stop talking vsncjdnd #rambling #yakuza #rgg
