Some pics of my stripey boy

And some actually cute pics, not just tail

The darker one also has stripes, but not nearly as much

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

remember that pride is still a protest

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

In all seriousness, Dracula is just as terrifying in his calm rage as he is when he's flying off the handle.

The way he just held the letter against the candle while smiling at Jonathan like "we both know exactly what this letter is and exactly why I'm destroying it."

A loud and beastly monster is terrifying for sure but in a scene like this, where both captor and captive know how powerless the latter is...

Yeah that's chilling, that's actually horrifying and I love this book so freaking much.

[aquilacalvitium]

Actually I'm not done talking about this

I literally cannot stress enough how this is the type of horror I EAT UP. I don't like gore or graphic murder or assault etc. That makes me really uncomfortable and upset.

It's this type of horror that I just LOVE. It's not the "I am actively being killed/hurt/traumatised," that gets me, it's the "I am trapped in a prison of terror and the person who's power I am under could at any moment kill/hurt/otherwise harm me and there's nothing I can do about it."

"I'm in a room with one exit and Dracula is between myself and the door. I know he's incredibly fast, incredibly strong and if he decided to hurt me there's nothing I could do about it. He also knows that I know this."

THAT is fucking terrifying and I eat it up.

Part of the reason I so desperately want a full-length TV adaptation of Dracula is so the viewers/Jonathan can really marinate in this dynamic. Adaptations always abridge the Transylvania sections and it’s such a shame not to let the true horror of Jonathan’s captivity (and how aware of & powerless over his captivity he is) sink in.

This is Dracula-as-Bluebeard, the monster inherent in the man. He doesn’t need to flash his fangs to exert his power over Jonathan; he is master of the house, and the house itself is the physical embodiment of his dominion. Jonathan has nowhere to go, they both know it, and Dracula wants to relish his unspoken dominance for as long as he can.

One of you should adopt this dog so I can look at him more

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

literally two days after I reblogged this this dog showed up in my yard

reblog to spawn a dark brindle pit with white socks and chest splash within one week

[astriiformes]

The other thing about meeting my wife on this website is I've seen multiple friends today reblog a post about how some mutuals you eventually transition to using their given name and some you never do, and the thing is. The woman I am legally married to is in the latter category.

Call me easily impressed, but after thirty-odd years of gaming, boss fight music that starts out with traditional acoustic instrumentation, then when the really good bit kicks in it adds a single electric guitar still gets me pumped every single time.
