Jaded, fagged-out socialite. Organ is the only thing that brings me joy. LOTR, the Silmarillion, TMA, Ex-mormon, Shakespeare, Arcane, Terry Pratchett, Brandon Sanderson, and the occasional Marauders fanart. He/Him.

bram stoker's dracula was truly ahead of its time by asking such questions as what if there was a dracula

I recently got into bookbinding, and I was really excited to do a Twilight-themed project. So what better book to rebind than Dracula?

My middle-school-self would be happy to know that all those hours practicing the Twilight font did not go to waste. I did the title in silver nail polish, which was nerve-wracking, but it ended up looking very bright and sparkly. The author and pull quote on the back were done with paint markers. The rosary on the cover is a glossy paper with a slight shimmer to it that doesn't show up well on camera.

I wanted to incorporate blood splatter somewhere, but still keep the minimal aesthetic of the original covers, so I opted for the suggestion of blood drops in the rosary beads, and tiny blood drops in nail polish over the d and l of the title that kind of look like fangs.

The endpapers are taken from an out-of-circulation (har har) library book about the circulatory system that had really cool pictures of blood cells. I used scraps from the endpapers for the endbands. And I had the perfect red ribbon for a bookmark to finish it off.

This was my most detailed bookbinding project so far. The precise fonts and minimalistic design left me very little room for error, but it was a fun challenge and overall I'm happy with how it turned out.

Theory: Nobody who writes a physics textbook gives any fucks

Evidence:

[sidereanuncia-blog-deactivated2]

Update: Legolas’ pupils are about 3.5 cm wide each. Now drawing kawaii Legolas on physics assignment.

And they told you science was no fun.

[sidereanuncia-blog-deactivated2]

Science!

[sidereanuncia-blog-deactivated2]

I’m going to do it. I’m going to hand it in.

[glumshoe]

Legolas’s pupil size isn’t the problem here, though. 5 leagues is 17.262 miles. The curvature of the Earth means that for a person of average height, the visual horizon is less than three miles away. Even if your vision is telescopic and the atmosphere is perfectly clear, you can’t see around the planet. If they were standing on a hill, it would have to be at LEAST 198 feet above sea level in order to see the horizon at 17.2 miles away, with nothing tall in between. Which, knowing Rohan, isn’t impossible.

But consider: Elven satellite eyeballs.

@sidereanuncia it’s back, the post that I can only imagine haunts your nightmares 

[sidereanuncia-blog-deactivated2]

I shall never find peace.

Also, for what it’s worth, there’s absolutely no reason to believe that the curvature of Middle Earth is the same as that of Earth.

[sindri42]

There’s no evidence that Middle Earth curves.

[solwardenclyffe]

Yeah there is.  The Silmarillion states that the world was curved after the fall of Numenor (I believe), preventing access to Valinor.  But Elves (among others) can travel the straight path across it.

So middle earth is round, but not for Elves because magic.

[sindri42]

So wait, the reason he can see that far is because Elves just have the ability to ignore the curve of the earth? That’s awesome. It also means that no matter how good your optics got, you would always want elf eyes manning the spyglass because they can see arbitrarily far while everybody else is limited by this ‘horizon’ bullshit.

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if it was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!
