I do find it facinating how Dracula Daily has turned Dracula into a different kind of myth now that we're in its third year running. I've seen a few people compare it to Hadestown, or a timeloop. The enjoyment isn't JUST from engaging with the story now, it's engaging with the experience, and while the emails are still the same as previous years, we've been through this before.

The way we as an audience interact with this story and this way of telling the story changes the genre. Its no longer a gothic horror, classic lit story. It's become a mythology, a tragedy, a repeating loop. Jonathan Harker returns to the castle every year. Every year it happens again. And that changes it, builds up new mythos around it, even if the words stay exactly the same.

#wren rambles #dracula daily #modern mythology #i LOVE how mythology is developed #i LOVE how the way an audience interacts with a story changes #anyway i for one am very excited to hear from my good friend Jonathan soon!#hope hes going to have a great business trip im sure nothing will go wrong!

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice #I just think it's really interesting #Like even looking at the Five:#Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace #While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy #Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie #Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant #Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner #(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble).#Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.”#And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking.#In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class.#This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it #Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?”#“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?”#kung fu panda

I love how the interview with the vampire trailer is sexy and mysterious and then the show is a borderline dark comedy about the retelling of vampire history's most cringe fail marriage between the worst case of catholic guilt and eldest daughter syndrome being romanced by a dumpster fire gremlin that thinks more with his heart and dick than his non-existent brain and the coolest character in the whole story is their murderous daughter

#and the interviewer is an almost old flame of the vampire #that spends half of his screentime making snarky comments about the vampire and his ex-husband #to adapt it to a modern audience they could have gone extremely dark and nihilistic or embrace the camp and weirdness #I'm glad they went with the latter bc it gives them more room to explore the story and themes #Instead of just going for dark and gloomy and depressing #iwtv #iwtv amc #iwtv spoilers #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #claudia de lioncourt #daniel molloy #Interview with the vampire

J.J. Abrams: “Ah, so there it is, the proof!! I’ll go canonize this couple, as it was CLEARLY the intention from the beginning of the series!!”

J.J. Abrams: “?????? What!? They’re JUST friends! No, I’m not going to use this. If Kirk and Spock were supposed to be lovers, we’d have seen them making out on screen back in the 60′s, right?... Right!? No, I’m not being homophobic. Look, I changed Sulu, and now he’s gay... right there on the background.”

i do really like modern trek for the most part but god i wish the aesthetics and fashion were less blatantly modern. give me fun patterns! sparkly fabrics! impractical architecture! eyeshadow! like sure it's camp and fun and visually interesting but it's also a sign of worldbuilding. if the characters are in a post-utopian society of course they're spending time on constantly reinventing impractical fashions. you can counter it with the supremely practical and simple styles from characters without the Federation post-utopian privilege. give us some alien fashions that illustrate cultural differences that don't look like they came off of a high end fashion catalogue.

(also this is about live action trek, don't worry lower decks and prodigy, you're doing great)

#i know they want it to look prestige for modern audiences but it bothers me so much #and its a complaint that can be leveled at most modern scifi media #take some risks!#get picard back in his shorty robe #my posts

The relationship portrayed between Queen Charlotte and King George is so sweet, and has a lot to say about loving someone with severe mental illness.

But every time George is on screen the American in me angrily whispers, "That's him. That's the bitch. Spill his tea!!"

#queen charlotte #king george #Bridgerton #how dare you make a modern day audience lust after america's original enemy #murica

idk where the idea that hymns should be sung solemnly and slowly came from, but someday I want to participate in singing them with others as they should be sung, as the bops and jams they rightfully are

#you cannot convince me that oh for a thousand tongues to sing is supposed to be anything but a rousing and triumphant chorus #this is of course not referring to the ones that are heavier and slower etc etc #but yeah I feel like modern audiences would enjoy hymns a lot more if they were sung more joyfully #anyways #scribe rambles #hymns #church #salt and light

[ID: An animatic of Stephanie Brown as Robin set to Tears over Beers by modern baseball. The images are paired with the lyrics. Stephanie as spoiler staring longingly at Bruce, Tim and Cass on a rooftop is paired with "he needed more than me". A compilation of sketches of Steph as robin go with "im friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty". Finally a redraw of Steph's firing as Robin is paired with "but he needed more than me". End ID]

been trying to finish a comic for. Weeks now (just been hitting a lot blocks) and quickly threw this together as a break from it! Do you guys ever think about Stephanie Brown…

#dc comics #stephanie brown #robin #batfamily #read the first issue of her run in the main robin book recently after mostly knowing it via her appearance as robin in the batgirl title #and via snippets of other issues #oughhh bill willingham when i fucking catch you #SHE WAS SO EAGER. THEY LEAVE IT UP TO THR AUDIENCE AS TO WHY BUT SHE WAS SO EAGER #ROBIN WAS JUST HER CONSOLATION PRIZE AND EVEN THEN IT WAS TAINTED BY BRUCES MISTRUST #WHICH ULTIMATELY LED TO HER DEATH #AUGH. THROWING UP EVERYWHERE #^ willingham gets not credit for that as far as im concerned they did not give a rats ass about steph in her robin arc #christ…it makes me wanna read early era timsteph or bg!era steph to just #heal for a minute. I mean those eras are complex in and of themselves w their own pros and cons (i mean i like both tho)#But they dont hurt as much as her robin era knowing whats to come…#sidenote i often see ppl praise the way stephs temper is portrayed in her robin era and while its nice to see her anger factor in #considering its like. A less consistent character trait in the modern era? Its there tho in bits and drabs #im just very cynical of it in her robin era knowing that they’re (partially) using it to set up why shes a doomed robin. Complex feelings #mine

this may be a stretch and you're more than welcome to ignore this ask, but i like the little trope of soulmates finding themselves again across time, being reborn in a different time and finding each other again and getting to be together once again

so i like to think about the original canon ending for vasco and machete and the modern au to be set in the same timeline of sorts? them getting a chance to be reunited centuries later, in a world kinder to their love, that lets them finally be together and themselves with no church or anything else to keep them apart

.

#that's basically how I view the 1500's canon and modern au #spoilers but the last chapter of the Separation fic deals with this idea #really beautifully too if you ask me #so if you're into soulmates and rebirth perhaps you might like that #link is in my pinned post #but remember it's for mature audiences #answered #anonymous

My New York Valentine

My New York Valentine by followyourenergy (@followyourenergy) Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 1k

Dean Winchester plans to drown his sorrows in waffles after picking another fight with his best friend since childhood, Cas, on their friendversary... which happens to be Valentine’s Day. His plans are stymied when he’s stopped on the way back to work by a man who wants to take his photo and chat with him. When the man asks about love, he tells him about his secret love for his best friend. Little does Dean know his secret will soon be revealed. This fic is inspired by Humans of New York, a popular Facebook page that tells true stories about everyday people in New York (and elsewhere).

This short but oh so sweet fic has a few of my favorite things. First, I love any idea inspired by cute internet trends or clever videos. Add to that besties Dean and Cas who are also secretly pining for one another? I couldn’t click a link faster.

My New York Valentine fits the bill perfectly. If you’re online, you might be familiar with the account Humans of New York but if not, it’s as described perfectly in the summary above. The account is special because it touches on humanity, regular everyday people living their little extraordinary lives all around us. In this fic, it’s Dean who is being interviewed, and the way Cas finds out about it is incredibly sweet and fitting, leaving you hopeful for this version of them. Don’t miss it!

i just saw someone call ffxiii overrated like? what?? it's literally one of the most hated games in the franchise wym "overrated" 😭

#they've gotta be butthurt it got 3 games #also saw someone whine about how it shouldn't get a remaster bc ''other ff games deserve a chance'' and i was baffled #xiii and xi are the only mainline ff games that aren't on modern consoles what are you talking about!!!!!!!#i shouldn't be reading random men's comments on ffxiii omg it just makes me peeved lmao #final fantasy xiii #i gotta ramble real quick abt how we don't have a remaster yet actually #it bugs me when people act as if it's because ffxiii was some huge embarrassment for square and that they want to bury it #when it actually sold super well #and lightning became one of the most iconic protags in the whole franchise #not to mention that xiii got TWO SEQUELS that ALSO sold well #AND the combat system has influenced modern ff titles #square doesn't hate xiii omfg get real #but that does make it even more absurd that it doesn't have a remaster yet #some people think it doesn't need one since it still looks so damn good #but it's not really about that lol it's about accessibility and letting it reach a new audience (the pc port is too broken seriously)#something tells me it's because the crystal tools engine was so much of a pain to work with but idk they haven't really explained anything #either way it just annoys me when people claim xiii doesn't deserve a remaster bc ''no one likes it'' when that really isn't true #and calling it overrated is beyond insane

UM EXCUSE ME-

y'all I am NOT making this up and neither is OP, literally go to the Canvas section on WT and click on a genre, esp romance, comedy, or fantasy, they're getting BOMBARDED by p0rn bots right now, it literally looks worse than Tumblr Live, THERE ARE MULTIPLE PAGES OF THIS SHIT

congrats Webtoons, you've now officially become "that" unsettling backdoor back alley app that promotes shovelware content and gets exploited constantly by bad actors with zero moderation, huh?

#and yes people who are privy to security exploits should definitely be concerned about this #i know it's just p0rnbots spam posting call links to Webtoons but like #there's a lot to be said about how poor WT security is that this kind of thing can happen en masse #the site is severely lacking in modern features and protections ESPECIALLY in the canvas section and it has been for years now #also just goes to show why it's such a problem that WT is for general audiences but still heavily promotes mature content !#they don't have limitations on how often a creator can upload series so there are single 'creators' with like 50 spam series per account #posting limitations within specific time frames is a BASIC SECURITY FUNCTION FOR EXACTLY THIS KIND OF REASON #WT is literally being promoted to children CONSTANTLY #this is such a bad look omfg #webtoon critical #womp womp
