Dracula had it right, sleep all day, live alone in an abandoned castle & explode into a thousand bats to get out of social situations.

The ultimate power move in a vampire/fairy rivalry would be the fairy inviting the vampire over for tea. The vampire has natural dominion over anyone who invites them into their home, the fairy has natural dominion over anyone who violates the laws of hospitality, and neither can refuse the appointment without showing weakness, so it’d just be a constant headgame of the vampire trying to manoueuvre the fairy into a position where the obligations of hospitality allow the vampire to eat them, and the fairy trying to trick the vampire into doing something that would allow the fairy to declare them a poor guest.

“At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all.”

—  H. G. Wells, from The War of the Worlds in The Great Science Fiction (Penguin Modern Classics, 2017) ( (via fotoartiste)

Sometimes I feel like life is too short. Too short too experience all the wonders of our world. Too short too read all the books out there. Too short too know all those fascinating people. Too short too really know what living means.

But then, maybe that is what living truly means. That we cannot experience everything. And maybe that is what makes those experiences special.

what i’d really like is for someone to objectively watch me for a week or so and then just sit down with me for a few hours and explain to me what i am like and how i look to others and what my personality is in detail and how i need to improve where do i sign up for that
