Hereās the super weird story of Vlad the Impaler, also known as the OG Dracula
So the first thing he did, was join this Group called the Order of the Dragon, which were basically just people who fought the turks from time to time.
And also this is where he gets named Vlad Dracula. Dracula meaning son of the Dragon, cuz his dad was also in this group and he was called Vlad Dracul.
Some years later, he become a military leader or something.
But then he got exiled, and or captured.
But then he comes back a new man. He does a bunch of throne claiming and throne reclaiming here and there, but he eventually settles in and starts murdering people.
His main way of solving problems back then, was impaling them. Thatās why heās called Vlad the Impaler.
This was his main way of dealing with problems, and he impaled thousands of people.
There was one time when and Ottoman army came across a forest full of impaled corpses. They pissed themselves and turned around immediately.
when i tell y'all my heart always shatters hearing alu's broken sobs during this scene . . . crispin freeman, you did my baby justice. give this man an oscar.
and the way everyone who is witness to his tears looks on in sadness and disbelief, because tears are the very last thing you would expect from him, especially in the moment of an enemy's defeat. not only does alucard mourn anderson because he always held a significant amount of respect, but anderson's choice of turning his back upon humanity + his death was also a symbol of alucard's dream coming to an end. to be defeated by a human hand. he no longer desired to live an eternal regret, and he saw anderson as one of the main gateways for his curse to finally be put to rest.
alucard versus anderson will always be one of the greatest and most complex rivalries in anime history for me, and this clip alone explains why.
A Twitter Thread from David Bowles:
[Text transcript at the end of the screenshots]
I'll let you in on a secret. I have a doctorate in education, but the fieldās basically just a 100 years old. We donāt really know what weāre doing. Our scholarly understanding of how learning happens is like astronomy 2000 years ago.
Most classroom practice is astrology.
i have a weird appreciation for Baroque artists, in particular Francois Boucher and Peter Paul Rubens, for depicting the human body in lush detail at a time that predates the standards for bodies to be thin and airbrushed with no wrinkles or cellulite
itās just really interesting to me
so many the things women are taught to hate about their bodiesāpudgy bellies, fat rolls, double chins, and celluliteāused to be ideals of beauty shown in depictions of goddesses
I honestly always find the termĀ āspinsterā as referring to an elderly, never-married woman as funny because you know what?
Wool was a huge industry in Europe in the middle ages. It was hugely in demand, particularly broadcloth, and was a valuable trade good. A great deal of wool was owned by monasteries and landed gentry who owned the land.Ā
And, well, the only way to spin wool into yarn to make broadcloth was by hand.Ā
This was viewed as a feminine occupation, and below the dignity of the monks and male gentry that largely ran the trade.Ā
So what did they do?
They hired women to spin it. And, turns out, this was a stable job that paid very well. Well enough that it was one of the few viable economic options consideredĀ ārespectableā outside of marriage for a woman. A spinster could earn quite a tidy salary for her art, and maintain full control over her own money, no husband required.Ā
So, naturally, women who had little interest in marriage or men? Grabbed this opportunity with both hands and ran with it. Of course, most people didnāt get this, because All Women Want Is Husbands, Right?
So when people sayĀ āspinsterā as inĀ āspinster auntā, they are TRYING to conjure up an image of a little old lady who is lonely and bitter.Ā
But what I HEAR are the smiles and laughter of a million women as they earned their own money in their own homes and controlled their own fortunes and lived life on their own terms, and damn what society expected of them.Ā

I know there's some ambiguity around why Alucard turned Seras, but I think it's safe to say that he admired her courage to not give up even though she was facing impossible odds.
BUT part of me personally thinks a teeny, tiny smidgen of the Abridged version got it right. ("Oh come on, you look like a puppy!") And he just straight up felt bad and couldn't leave little puppy-eyed Seras there to die all alone.
A wonderful topic.
I love it.

The Good Place Analysis Part 2
Spoiler Alert!!! Do not read if you want to watch it and wish to see it with 'fresh eyes'! :-)
This time I will address some parts of the philosophical and yes the bureaucratic aspect of the Good Place
- I wonāt get into every philosophical aspect of the show, just to the parts that stung me.
This perspective means also that Chidi Anagonye HAS TO BE ADDRESSED ā in my opinion, without him a vital part of the Good Place would have been nothing more than a boring ā afterlife seriesā.
The first time Chidi was introduced, he himself explained, that he is a philosophy professor and through Chidi Michael made clear: āthis is the Good Placeā because look, we have philosophy professor who tries to be his best self every day in and after his life. (This connects to my analysis Part 1 if you havenāt read it and you are interested: Part 1 )
Right after he sees Kikyou and Inuyasha embrace, Naraku literally tears the scar off his back with a sword. Talk about painful!
And talk about how human he actually is - I would interpret that as a sign of jealousy - seeing the woman whom you love hate embracing another man. And to get rid of that emotion, Naraku tries to distract himself by inflicting pain and / or channel that burning anger.
