space raptor butt experiment

when conservative ideas are put to the test they basically always fail. specifically ruminating on how very early in my career conservative goofs tried to force me into an award for ONE specific reason: irony. in their mind, as a queer artist, i OBVIOUSLY didnt belong there

that is premise RABID PUPPIES had at hugo awards, that CHUCK TINGLE was least likely person to be taken seriously and therefore would delegitimize something serious. to them it was unfathomable that i could be making REAL art because i was too strange, queer, and UNTRADITIONAL

conservatives in literary space believe TRADITIONAL is RIGHT and everything else is distraction. now we have a literal TEST OF THIS THEORY. they GOT TO PICK THEIR FIGHTER in the arena, to see my art and whisper amongst themselves 'this is epitome of progressive artistic failure'

this test has been running for nearly ten years now, not in a lab but ON THIS TIMELINE OF REALITY. and look at the results, look how much tinglers resonate, how many buckaroos have gathered to support my art. CAMP DAMASCUS was a best seller. BURY YOUR GAYS COMIN IN HOT

this is not a moment to just sit around and pat myself on the back, but i think it is worth recognizing something. RABID PUPPIES and all of those conservative literary goofs were unequivocally WRONG about me and my art. because they are philosophically wrong about EVERYTHING

they have joined a long line of lonesome whining goofs who will say ‘let the market decide’ and when the market decides that their work is slop they will CONVENIENTLY forget what they initially stood for. more sad lonely devils moaning in their basements while we trot in the sun

i will end this observation with this: THANK YOU for being a part of this experiment with me, for seeing my unique expression and trotting along beside me. for as much as i have proven love to you on this path, YOU HAVE PROVEN LOVE TO ME. HERES TO TROTTING INTO THE FUTURE

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.

I invoke you in your aspect as possessor of arcane comics knowledge.

A friend told me about an old series called Count Duckula ( https://imgur.com/gallery/count-duckula-celebrity-no-21-eAXNJB9 ). The titular protagonist has a teleporting castle. My friend and I are both curious about where it came from. We know that Dracula's abode in Castlevania can teleport, and my friend has some vague recollection about another teleporting vampire castle from Eastern European myth, but feel far from certain that those fed directly into Count Duckula. Do you have any pertinent knowledge, any guess as to a root of the concept or common source? We'd be delighted if you shared any.

Hm. It's tough to say which is the earlier example. The Castlevania series debuted in 1986, while Duckula's teleporting castle first appears in his self-titled spinoff series in 1988 (there's no mention of it in his earlier appearances in Danger Mouse); however, Dracula's castle in Castlevania didn't initially teleport – it just magically appeared in a new location each time he was resurrected, and was immobile thereafter. The idea of Dracula using his castle as a means of transportation didn't become formalised as part of the franchise's lore until later on.

Of course, vampires or vampire-like villains with magically appearing and/or teleporting castles show up in a lot of 1980s media. I strongly suspect that patient zero for the trope's popularisation during that period is the 1983 Star Wars pastiche Krull – though Krull is so blatantly derivative that it's very unlikely it originated the idea, either. I'm not sure where Krull would have gotten it, but if you wanted to chase down how the vampire-with-a-teleporting-castle trope entered into the lexicon of contemporary popular media, that's where I'd start.
