Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone in publicity stills for The Mark of Zorro (1940)

[redscharlach]

Heated roguery?

[ofermod]

Two of the greatest (real-life) swordsmen ever to grace Hollywood.

If you haven't watched the final fight scene... DO IT.

Spoilers, I guess, for a movie from 1940?

The other Basil Rathbone fight to watch is, of course, him against Danny Kaye in "The Court Jester.

Still obsessed with Arthur Conan Doyle’s letter to Bram Stoker gushing about how wonderful a book Dracula is, but particularly how it makes such a good template for leaving fic comments, so I’m gonna to a BREAKDOWN:

Just say you loved reading it - “I am sure that you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula.”

Comment on a detail of the craft or structure that impressed you - “It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax.“

Comment on how it emotionally affected you - “It holds you from the very start and grows more and more engrossing until it is quite painfully vivid.”

SHARE YOUR BLORBO FEELINGS - “The old Professor is most excellent and so are the two girls.”

Show appreciation for them as an author - “I congratulate you with all my heart for having written so fine a book.”

Next time you don’t know what to say on a fic you enjoyed, just use the ACD method~

claim your star

*this is not to shame anybody. if you used to use chatgpt in the past but have stopped, kudos to you, this post still includes you. if you are still using chatgpt, then I guess I can’t stop you — but if you ever decide to stop using it in the future, you may then claim your star too

don’t know what i meant; tempted to leave it

[theballadoffinchesandsaints]

the fact that the rqg fiasco special and thanes of beowulf came out back to back is so crazy to me. like, here's probably the two most impactful oneshots we'll ever make as rqg and solely for rqg, and we're giving them to you back to back!

Alright im calling into the void for this one - are there any podcasts that have Irish voice actors/creators? I've listened to a few (I know méabh de brún in the silt verses and neighbourly) but I'm wondering if there are any more that I just haven't seen?

This House Will Devour You is a two season independent horror series! Season 1 has haunted house/Gothic/folk horror vibes, Season 2 is more action/adventure-ish.
