Back in high school, I was one of the two (2!) students who was in an extended, extra class for English Literature, in which I wrote feverishly about Bram Stoker’s Dracula, as well as a general overview of vampire lore, other vampire fiction, and various movie adaptations of the Dracula vibe (like Nosferatu, Rice’s extended universe, and Coppola’s cinematic take). The undead monster that wanted to kill us all gradually became a figure of pity and sympathy, the idea of the Monstrous Other being looked at in the lenses of ‘hey, I’m not like everyone else, I’m getting treated like shit by my society’. The vampire in fiction gradually just became this lil guy, just another kind of person that didn’t quite fit in to ‘normal society’. They stopped going after the helpless and weak, and started drinking at blood banks. 

But now, here we are in an era of power-hungry tyrants, of warlords who cannot be touched by law or justice, of those in power who see the world - and everyone in it - as theirs to control and despoil, and yeah, here we are walking side by side with John and Mina and all the gang because we have seen that there are some real fucking monsters out there and someone has to fucking do something before they fucking kill us all.

The way that tk keep flirting with other men even tho he's in relationship is so disrespectful tbh..I'm still so pissed that he flirted back with the bartender Infront of carlos

I saw this comment on FB and I want to ask your opinion on it 💜

Uhh, weird hill to die on. I suppose to some people basic niceties come off as flirting.

The second Carlos says "And his boyfriend is a cop" TK only has eyes for Carlos. Same thing when Cooper is in the room, TK spends 99% of the time undressing Carlos's yoga clothes with his eyes and being entirely fond. And like, who can blame him, it's CARLOS. He's hot, sweet and a little stern. None of us can keep our eyes off of him.

To quote Mateo "Hey look! It's Carlos. Hey Carlos!"

Not sure what other guys he speaks to in front of Carlos, beyond their friends.

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

WE GOT IT

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

Like I literally have second hand embarrassment for Vox after seeing what Alastor ACTUALLY is like in a rivalry.

Like homie wishes he could be that close to Alastor 😂😂

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.

new niche just dropped

edit: there’s a pattern of something something wanting to protect their partners from what they know to be horrible

If true we HAVE to make this the biggest flop in gaming history, as in 'destroys the company' levels of gaming flop as in a 'lesson must be taught' gaming flop, as in 'E.T. destroyed atari' gaming flop

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...

Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love

Kinda crazy how my first cellphone didn't have a camera or internet and 17 years later this thing knows more about me than I do and gives people brand new mental ilnesses.
