Seward Summary Masterpost

Hello good people of the hellsite! I'm that one girl who's been putting up pared-down notes summarizing Seward's entries of Dracula Daily for those who are unable or unwilling to handle reading said entries, since. You know. The book's pretty old and has a poor grasp on mental health and ethical medical healthcare. That is, understandably, a dodgy subject, and not everyone can just roll with the day's memes.

It's been a few entries, now, and for at least one of them tumblr accidentally shadowbanned me (I am so sorry to anyone who was waiting for the summary and then it didn't show), so I thought I ought to compile everything together into a master list for easier perusal, tracking down missed entries, and finding them again in my disorganized mess of a blog. Huge shoutout and thanks to @welcomedmachine for tracking down the previous entries for me!

I really hope so

are miracles real? or they just figments of dreams from alternate realities that briefly burn into our own?

(laughter) WTF, could use some of this this week. Let’s see what the universe provides.

There is some debate over whether or not I should be going to work tonight (there shouldn't be any, literally all the evidence points to me not having to, my family just never fucking listens to me) but I'm gonna try to muster the executive function to get back to Reload this evening.

But I might just end up getting absorbed by Genshin because that is making the happy chemical

I appreciate that just "morning" is a standard greeting now. We can skip the descriptors. Morning is not good and we need not pretend. The sun and sky will not take offense.

however much sleep that was was not enough after hitting the 40 hour mark

but it was multiple hours of sleep I'll take it

I recently started working in hospitality, and I’ll tell you guys right now, the trope of “there was only one bed” is not as rare as you’d think in real life. A few times a week, at least, I have guys come in who are working together on projects in town or passing through who have to literally book the last room I have available for the night and lo and behold — there is only one bed, and guess what, they give each other a side-eyed look and begrudgingly take it. So write it up, it happens all the time!!!

Never let your There Was Only One Bed dreams die. I was secretly in love with my best friend for over a year when she graduated and moved to Oklahoma (like 1000 miles away) for grad school. Between that travel restrictions, we were so scared we’d never see eachother again.

At the end of summer, when Covid numbers were at a lower point, I took the risk to visit her in her new apartment and I quickly realized that, unlike when I’d spent the night at her house before, the couch wasn’t made up like a bed. She explained that since her new couch was so fancy and pink, I couldn’t possibly sleep on it, and so I needed to sleep in the bed with her. You know, out of necessity. I woke up with her snuggled around me in the middle of the night.

We’re dating now, and I genuinely think I’m going to marry her. Just the other day, though, I mentioned that if she hadn’t been weird about her fancy couch, I probably never would have like confessed my feelings. AND THEN she stood up, took the cushions off the fancy couch, UNFOLDED IT INTO A HIDE-A-BED, and said “I KNOW.”

THIS GIRL. ORCHESTRATED. BED SCARCITY. JUST SO SHE COULD MAKE THE “ONLY ONE BED” EXCUSE. Y’all when I said I just about lost my goddamn mind, I just about lost my goddamn mind. I love this sneaky bitch so much and the moral of this story is BE THE ONE BED YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

Fanfic imitates life, and life imitates fanfic. It’s full circle really.

Holy crap I’d always just shot at them from a distance I thought their hoods were just empty blackness or something WHAT IS THAT.

the truth is out there

[neil-gaiman]

I don't really ever use Tumblr for advertising. But so many of the questions that come in about writing and plotting are answered in much more depth in my Masterclass. (Yes, you have to pay. They have also been answered here on Tumblr and over on my blog for free, but you will have to find them.)

It's been one of the most popular Masterclasses since its release in 2019, and these days I get to hear from people who published books and blame me, which is nice.

So consider this a rare commercial, mostly because it may actually make life easier for some of you.

I need tumblr's help on this one because I only have 5 days left (until June 5) and it's not working out. I'm writing my master's thesis on the video game industry and I've distributed a survey around but barely have ANY answers. It should only take 5 minutes to complete. Please, at least reblog this to help me out I'm desperate.

link to the survey here

[whyarewewlwlikethat]

I'd like to address the "sex option" in my survey having only two choices. I'm non-binary and if I could I would've put that and an "other" option but there is no way to do that without huge backlash from my university. I'm Bulgarian and my country is very homophobic. If I were to add anything else I would be immediately targeted so please understand and thank you for participating 💖

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

no white gay boy will ever reblog this, watch:

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

your archers should also look like they are regularly doing 80lb loads on the fly machine because that's what drawing a bow is. they can skip leg day but all those lithe and willowy elf archers should have tits that could crack a walnut.

[flagellant]

this isnt even accurate to all historical archery. 80lbs was a standard for english longbowmen. mongolian cavalry would regularly be double that at 160lbs draw strength. most indian bamboo bows are around 20lbs draw. japanese yumi mostly have double that at 40lbs.

this is all to say, however: their back and shoulders and arms would be fucking BEEFED and also oftentimes kind of extremely fucked up. and thats sexy as fuck.
