Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.

BURN BAGEL BURN

[gothiccharmschool]

OH WHY NOT?

[harukami]

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.

Bagel what are your powers

[acabosetotal]

FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD

[token-white-friend]

I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD

[noodle-dragon]

The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!

[blackcatgodess]

I got a job offer after reblogging the bagel. Believe in the bagel!

THIS IS THE FIRST THING ON MY BLOG

I GOT ASKED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER I REBLOGGED IT

[decadentstrangernacho]

Ugh I hate superstitions… … not that it stops me, of course

[bucketofplums]

In Bagel we trust

I was on a bus once when this guy tapped my knee and pointed out that we were the only two people not looking at their phones and then asked what I was thinking about. 

sometimes when I’m having a bad day I relive the moment I saw the his manic pixi dream girl hopes draining from his eyes and fill up with confusion and boredom as I explained to him I was thinking about which Rupaul’s Drag Race challenges Frank n Furter would preform best in and locked him into the conversation until it was my stop

dorian only thinks his portrait is beautiful because he sees it as a depiction of his fleeting youth and identity, but the truth is the portrait is actually a reflection of basil, the artist, who put too much of himself in it. it’s not dorian who is beautiful, but rather basil’s pure love for him, which in turn is a reflection of basil’s soul and true nature. by loving dorian, and embracing his love through art without shame, basil has created the most precious thing, even if it is fleeting. much like romance, all art is quite useless, but it touches the human spirit nonetheless, and that’s important

[linguisticparadox]

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

[ri-writing]

Spreading the news to my followers - if you weren’t aware of this before, here’s the link to Project Gutenberg - https://www.gutenberg.org/

Project Gutenberg is a gigantic collection of books that are in the public domain.  You can read the books through the site or you can download them in various formats so you can get the format you prefer for your eReader of choice.

It is free. 

It is legal.

I was reviewing the list of the top 100 books downloaded yesterday and I saw a fair few that I had to read for college classes - so if you’re a college student and your professor assigns you to read Plato or any number of older works, check here before you buy a copy.

I reread the Anne series several years back - they were free through this.  I need to reread Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and my e-book version is from this.  Someone recommended Jekyll and Hyde to me a few weeks back and I got a free copy from this.  When I went to Haworth on my last holiday before the plague times, I brought books by the Bronte sisters with me to read or reread that I downloaded from here.  It’s a great resource.

[linguisticparadox]

Yes yes yes! I was honestly so flabbergasted that this young person hadn't heard of the gutenberg project! It's been around for AGES, maybe longer than the kindle has? And it's such a huge project and wonderful resource! It used to be a household name (or maybe that's just my family, thanks to my dad being a cheapskate nerd [affectionate]). I was so glad to be able to share this resource and others with them though, and I wanted to make sure no one else was missing out!

If you look at the first reblog from me I also recommended a few other resources, most of which were from www.archive.org, home of the Wayback Machine! They run openlibrary.org, where you can check out ebooks of some public domain titles! They even have the Bone series by Jeff Smith!

And archive.org itself has all kinds of public domain media including music and movies! For Dracula fans, here's a radio show adaptation of the book, starring Orson Welles! And here's a 1920 movie adaptation of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring John Barrymore, the grandfather of Drew Barrymore!

I'm so excited to see people falling in love with classic media through Dracula Daily! Let's keep that fire blazing!

[wanderingchaos]

Also, if you can't handle reading things, check out libirvox.org! it's a free audio book project taking public domain works and people doing free audiobooks! there's a lot of great stuff on there, but it takes things in the public domain and makes audio books out of them!

it's a super nice project, and you can find some really nice readers there!

[athenadark]

Also don't think a book is old because it's in the public domain

lots of writers and publishers are prepared to waive future profits for entirely petty reasons

because of this the entire works of Philip K Dick [petty writer who found himself with lots of hangers on during his life] and HP Lovecraft [his publisher - who was his wife and hated him] became public domain on their death

Sherlock Holmes entered public domain this year, it's always worth checking because you can save a fortune

and the more popular the classic - the more likely someone has uploaded it

[the-haiku-bot]

Also don’t think a

book is old because it’s in

the public domain

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[cottaegecore]

you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?

[bucketofplums]

I was quoting harry songs to my best friend without his knowledge and

That's how i discovered he's going through some shit

[bucketofplums]

No cause what if Harry wears yellow and starts singing "I'm dressed as a banana, I'm dressed as a banana, eeeeh"

[writerandrocker]

I believe someone already mentioned this, but we know that Lil Nas X survived the snap because Shaun and Katy are singing Old Town road in a bar in Shang-Chi. But I’d like to point out just how close these two events were, (the release of Old Town Road and the snap).

In spring of 2018, Thanos snapped and wiped out half of all life.

In October of 2018, Lil Nas X started recording the original Old Town Road, but he found the instrumental even earlier.

The song released on December 3rd, and later re-released with Billy Ray Cyrus on April 5th, 2019.

So, essentially, in a matter of months:

*half of all life is destroyed, governments are in ruins, world consumed with chaos*

Meanwhile Lil Nas X:

Happy Larry Anniversary as nobody I know irl follows me here💙💚

I once met someone who pronounced seashore as *seas-whore*

[bucketofplums]

Same dumbass pronounces seashell as *seas-hell*

[katiemcgrath]

idk man, maybe it’s just the british/indian in me jumping out but I’ve always just blindly assumed this lady was holding a teacup, this is the first time I’ve actually looked at her hands and now I’m mad,

[katiemcgrath]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Did somebody edit this? It is usually a teacup, right?

[leg-stealing-bee]

ITS A FUCKING CUPCAKE???

[leg-stealing-bee]

WHAT????

[goblin-phannie]

[bucketofplums]

Never settle for less 🤞

But who's going to tell him that the stories were about the Airplanes trend with the pony and the blue bird?

[woulddieforperrytheplatypus]

Choose your fighter

[miraculous-mermaid03]

Um I’m choosing the second one bc Perry the Platypus is a skilled fighter and the other one is??? Some platypus with a beard???

[candace-gertrude-flynn-deactiva]

[forfucksakeidontknow]

I’ve never seen this show but from the jokes I think I’ve learnt enough about it understand them. Like:

1. Perry kicks this dudes ass

2. This scientist dude had a shitty childhood, his parents missed his birth, but he treats his daughter well

3. He also trauma dumps onto Perry

4. Off the last, Perry might just be a strange type of therapy tbh

5. Perry has an alter ego, but I can’t tell which one is the alter one (like his true self is the smart one and the the dumb one is a cover, but idk)

6. There’s a big tower which I’m 83% sure the scientist lives in.

7. The scientist once made perry pay for his broken door he kicked down, which leads me to conclude Perry is strong as fuck and the scientist is stingy (aka smart).

8. Idk the scientists name but it has doof in it, which might fit is character considering he seems to be beaten by a platypus enough to make a show about it.

I honestly don’t know any other characters than Perry, the scientist and his daughter

[woulddieforperrytheplatypus]

why is this so funny to me fhsjfbskdn

[forfucksakeidontknow]

ONG ITS FROM PHINEAS AND FERB??!

I knew of the show, and I knew some stuff like they make things, annoy Candace, the quiet guy got the hottie.

I just never knew they were the same shows. I even remember seeing these screenshots of phineas and ferb buying Perry but I assumed it was a crossover for some reason. Idk why, they just seemed to have too much going on to fit into one show.

[woulddieforperrytheplatypus]

why is this even funnier jfhdskjhfas

[bucketofplums]

My whole life I just assumed everybody knew Phineas and Ferb but I recently learned that my friends thought Perry was a beaver. This is just a confirmation
