Dracula's Pet Possum (Redux)

Hi, I used to be RoseBleue, my tumblr got nuked and someone else grabbed the URL. Nice to meet y'all!!!

[aliorumnas]

Nice to meet ya! I'm Barb!

My url used to be rosebleue and I got hacked in October 2025. In the two weeks it took me to come back, a different person had gotten my old url, so I grabbed one from an old sideblog that wasn't taken!

(That means I lost all posts in the 2011 to Oct. 2025 timeframe, so please, if you find any of these, tag me!!!)

I decided to use a single tag "barbachinations" for like, all edits, arts and fic, anything that I made for simplicity sake. You can click that for art! (Or the sidebar if you're on PC, I have a custom theme) For the time being, my lolita and cosplay stuff are also there.

If you are specifically interested in getting my light novels (buying them or for free, dw, I am chill with piracy and I provide plenty of links) you can find them all in my NeoCities!

My main fandoms are Pokémon, Castlevania (THE GAMES ONLY, PLEASE), Golden Sun. Baten Kaitos, Animal Crossing, any anime with Magical Girls, 90% of vampire franchises in existence, and The Locked Tomb. So I'm like, a gamer idiot who likes fluffy dresses and a vampire magical girl.

My pronouns are any/all!

In science it's important to resist the natural human impulse to ascribe telos to inanimate things. The things we study simply are; while their interactions may reliably produce certain outcomes, this does not imply that the production of these outcomes is what those things are "for". So, yes, the ray often causes death, but that doesn't make it a "death ray".

In spite of being the trope namer, the Backrooms are of course not the origin of the "person wanders into a liminal space underlying normal reality which resembles an empty yet inescapable version of some mundane environment, and where there might or might not be a Creature What's Gonna Getcha" genre of horror. This basic premise existed for decades before 4chan got its hands on it – though in the absence of a popular "standard formula", many prior examples contain only some of its central features, so their classification is often arguable.

Which brings us to the topic of today's dumb argument: is Stephen King's The Langoliers (1990) a Backrooms?

Who do I have to suck off to rip this asset for me? The flag/coat of arms for Alfard appears in a lot of locations throughout BK 1 & 2 (and on Giacomo's cape!) but I haven't seen anyone attempt to recreate/render it. I would like to give it a shot but I'd like a clearer image to work from.

Side note:

I enjoy that Wazn has a flag/shield and it's a straightforward one.

I am not home to grab the original book so I'm relying on crusty scans x_x

You can see each countries flag/crest in the NPC design pages

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

And here’s my other BJD cosplaying as Armand ✨

Armand used to be one of my biggest loves in The Vampire Chronicles. I actually have three dolls with Botticelli-angel faces, but this one just hits different — he really captured the look perfectly. Of course unlike the rest of my kids, he isn't always Armand.

She was his mother too, no?
