I relate hard to Mina because I too will sit and listen to elderly Englishmen talk passionately about local history and nod even though I’m only getting 70% of what they’re saying

#listen the Cornish accent is HARD #Yorkshire accents are far easier to understand than Cornish ones - especially from old men lol #it’s really fun though they know everything #but you also get the impression that they’re biased towards their own experiences of the local history (OBVIOUSLY)#I love Mr Swales #dracula daily #dracula #I once said hello to an old man on the train who proceeded to talk for THREE HOURS ABOUT ARCHITECTURE #it was awesome #old englishmen are surprisingly progressive I’ve noticed #some of the best dialogue or characters I’ve ever written have been inspired by irl Mr Swales
