On a slightly more serious note, I just wanna post this before the final entry, not counting the epilogue. I’m so, so thankful for Dracula Daily. It’s been an absolute blast beginning to end, reading discourse, seeing the jokes and memes and all the art, reading theories and reactions. And getting to be apart of that! Reading this book again in this format was a hell of an experience but the fact that I didn’t do it alone, I don’t know. We’ve all gotten to experience this book in a new way in real time together. I love that. And I hope that it won’t be just a one-off event, either. And even if it is? But this? It’s been wonderful. So, thank you to everyone for collectively going nuts over a 130 year old novel. Thank you for posting and making those artworks and memes and analyses. Reminds you you’re human and not stuck and alone.

I participated in the Far Cry 5 Anniversary Gift Exchange, hosted by @detectivelokis, and was paired with @jinfromyarikawa!

So here is my gift for you: a drawing of your OC, Rose Cortéz :)

I studied the moodboards you created, the picrew images you made, and the fics you wrote to gather information. When it came to her appearance, I saw that she had a faceclaim, Eiza Gonzáles, long and curly hair, and was usually associated with the color red, flowers, ornate dresses, and gold jewelry. Rose, especially after she married the Father and became “The Mother”, struck me as someone with an aura of confidence, dignity, and power.

It seemed to me that they were a fusional couple, very supportive of each other. But it also appeared that their relationship, at least at the beginning, was not the healthiest and that, in your story, Joseph was rather manipulative. Even though I wanted the focus to be on Rose, I included his hand (covered by hers, with her wedding ring visible) on her shoulder to symbolize their love, the strength of their bond, the fact they can rely on each other… but also a hint of control. Joseph’s blue rosary, which contrasts with his wife’s red dress, is a reminder that religion is one of the foundations of their relationship.

Anyway, that’s everything I wanted this portrait to represent. I really, really hope I did your OC (and your ship) justice and that you like this gift! And thanks again, @detectivelokis, for hosting this event!

a great change and a great way to execute the idea

:)

my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!

the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.

and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!

hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

those!!! are!!! his!!!! tits!!! be gentle 👉👈

me reading straight up pornography: hmm… this one just doesn’t have enough accurate character psychoanalysis to get me off

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

You Fascinate Me So, Blossom Dearie

Expertise can't help you here.

my friend told me that her boyfriend got her a super cool rock while they were on vacation together and you would not BELIEVE my disappointment when i realized she was talking about her engagement ring

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
