No. You have not read a fanfic that is better than any published original work.

mrsometimes11

From a literary standpoint probably not, but I have certainly read fanfics that I've enjoyed more than the original.

#for example the Iliad and Oddyssey are better written but as a reader I prefer the Aeneid

Thinking about how Rimmer is cowardly and traitorous and looks out for himself first but also if anyone is even a little nice to him ever he will sacrifice a lot for them.

His ‘best friend’ when he was a kid threw him in like a septic tank or something and he still refers to him as his best friend.

Lister is actually the worst roommate ever but as soon as he gets sick and passes out in the hallway he helps him.

He was all in to burn his stuff when they were on the ice moon cause lister burnt his guitar.

Someone give this man a actual friend and he will be the most loyal person ever.

Only on Tumblr could Arnold Judas Rimmer be redeemed

#I'm here for it though #He's always been my favourite character #ever since I was a kid watch red dwarf when I was too young #you are right; he has many faults but - ironically given his namesake - lack of loyalty is not one of them #aside from anything else he consented to be brought back from the dead to keep a man he didn't like same #In S5 we see the crew interviewing for a new hologram and most of them decline #presuming Holly did something similar for Rimmer honestly it's remarkable that he didn't #I will add one thing though; he does end up with a friend #ironically it's lister but by the end they are still friends #red dwarf #arnold rimmer #david lister #the cat #kryten #red dwarf BBC #Chris Barrie

Conquering Brittany and Cornwall, mild piracy, and a lot of incest

Okay, I've done this sort of thing for some of my other interests, and I'm in the middle of a YD rewatch, so I have to know

Best Series of Young Dracula?

S1 (the o.g.)

S2 (some very strong episodes)

S3 (the revival)

S4 (when it got dark)

S5 (this one was just weird imo, but no judgement)

mrsometimes11

Maybe they get together with U.N.I.T. every now and then, play a few friendlies.

#maybe sarah-janr and co. too #although as their mostly kids maybe at a disadvantage #torchwood #doctor who #sarah jane adventures #BBC

Continuing my rewatch of Young Dracula, got to S2. I wonder, what do people think happened to Harvey/Ivan after he returned to the U.S.?

If we see blood as an addiction, and what happened in episodes two, three, and four as a relapse, do we suppose he got back on the proverbial hurse, or stayed bloodthirsty?

This is one thing I'd have loved to see more of a follow-up on later on. We got Boris' reappearance in the S2 finale, and a couple of mentions of Harvey/Ivan later on, but nothing concrete. If Olga is about Chloe's age, we could have seen her, and Harvey/Ivan too, return to get her powers in S5, but unfortunately we didn't.

Re-watching Young Dracula

Never realised it before, but this series (which started in 2006) really jumped the gun on the fetishization of goth girls.

In the first episode we encounter Ian and Paul, Robin's older brothers, in their first scene we see them bullying their gothic younger brother, a few scenes later these same characters drool all over Ingrid, and continue to do so for all of the first two series. They are exactly the people who bully goth kids, and then turn around and say they long for a goth g.f., in 2006 for crying out loud.

#IDK if the writers did as a bit #hey wouldn't it be funny if the guys who bully their goth little brother are also smitten with the local goth girl #or if this was - already - a known issue that they wanted to show on TV #given how ingrid's story ended in S5 unfortunately I lean towards the latter #the vampire queen gets with the literal Reddit Mod; how original #but I hope I'm wrong #Young Dracula #cbbc young dracula #ingrid dracula #problematic fetishization of goth girls #also I would like to draw a distinction between Ian and Paul and other characters - non goth - who express an interest in Ingrid #Will for example; he didn't bully goth kids he doesn't have the same level of cognitive dissonance as the twins #also note I am not a goth #I have friends who are #but I am fully aware that I may be missing somethings here

accused of using too many ellipses... don't care... there's always more to come...

mrsometimes11

Read ellipses... as eclipses... though the moon was talking to me... through Tumblr...

#ellipses #eclipses #I may need new glasses

Me: Clip shows suck, clip shows always suck. From Star Trek: The Next Generation; Shades Of Grey, to both Phineas and Ferb Music Clip shows, they have never not sucked.

Young Dracula; Therapy: hold my blood.

Me (crying): Okay, maybe they don't all suck ...

I like to think the Count’s first name is Bram

mrsometimes11

I think it definitely has to be a 'B', owing to Magda's nickname for him 'Bun-Buns'. Bram fits that, and would certainly be in keeping with the Bram Stoker's Dracula references in the show. Additionally, while I'm not able to find any stereotypically Slavic names, consistent with the rest of the family, that start with 'Bram', 'Bran', which is very close, is a quite common prefix.

Another Slavic name that also fits the 'Bun-Buns' nickname is Barnim, and it's connection to a line of Pomeranian Dukes, some of them not nice people, would befit a man of his status.

Of course, we do also have to accept the possibility that his first-name is actually 'Bun-Buns'

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

New robin branagh headcanon just dropped that's totally not just me projecting onto him:

He loves being pale cuz it makes him feel like a vampire, but he tans really easily in the sun, and so he refuses to leave the house during the day in the summer without so much sunscreen it gives him a white cast

mrsometimes11

Fortunately he's Welsh, so he doesn't get to see the sun anyway
