knights need at least a 5x5 enclosure in order to keep their stress levels manageable, and honestly that’s pushing it. 10x10 is a much more humane minimum, and you should allow them more if you can spare it, as knights enjoy “touring” around their enclosures and more space means a longer tour. if you don’t have the space a knight requires, consider adopting a bishop or a rook instead

I hate this because a chessboard is 8x8.

[scrimblobimblobadimbo-deactivat]

Chessboards are torture for knights!!

[silly-jellyghoty]

For those who are considering enrichments for their knights, here are some ideas you may consider if you:

Wish to add long roadtrips to your knight's daily excercise

Need them to develop some muscle mass and increase their stamina

Want to introduce more knights to the herd

Or just feel like redecorating their standard size enclosure

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

People who have not been sleeping well in Dracula so far (July):

-Mina is having a nocturnal existence because Lucy is keeping her awake because she's sleepwalking

-Lucy is sleepwalking

-Jack Seward suffers from insomnia to the point of seeking chloral

-The Demeter crew sleeps sparsely and restlessly as doom lurks every night

-Jonathan had a nocturnal existence from May to the end of June because Dracula kept him up almost every night. Currently dead or haunted by nightmares

People who have been sleeping well:

-Dracula

-Except that one (1) day when his sleep got rudely interrupted by a shovel in the face

[treesaspen]

One day I want to drop an essay about the protective role of Mina aka Wilhelmina whose name means Resolute Protector and how she was exactly that for Lucy and then for Jonathan at their most vulnerable and then how Jonathan repays this by taking care of her in her own darkest hour.

"You had better come too, captain, before it is too late. He is there. I know the secret now. The sea will save me from Him, and it is all that is left!"

This is it, isn't it? Not a secret, nor a discovery, but the concise confirmation how the devil who rules over your homeland followed you until he had you where he wanted. The romanian first mate, who was left last with the captain, escaping to the sea because he knows the kind of evil that the Count could inflict upon them. The warnings that his parents gave him, the cross sign to ward off who sneaks in the night, the rosaries and crosses hanging both in necks, and doors. He has none of it in the middle of the ocean.

"But It is here, and I'll find It. It is in the hold, perhaps in one of those boxes. I'll unscrew them one by one and see. You work the helm."

I wonder if the romanian mate is blaming himself for not acting faster, for not using the same knowledge that has helped generations of people to survive every night as a conqueror untouched by time itself lurks on the outskirts of every village. Has the mate mocked his traditions as a way to distance himself from the horror as much as possible? The rest of the crew would have called him superstitious if he had tried to warn them, so maybe he resignated to never utter, or imply His name, and try to survive as the days pass.

Yet, with each day, with each death, even with that single attempt at killing the Count (you have to go for the heart then the neck son), the first mate saw how it was indeed futile to fight back. Better die as man at the hands of the sea, than be forced to live an unholy existance after your heart stopped beating.

We have read how Dracula his wealthy noble status to manipulate every single human he comes across, but this time we are reading about not Dracula the nobleman, but Dracula the monster.

"I can't make her out," he said; "she's a Russian, by the look of her; but she's knocking about in the queerest way. She doesn't know her mind a bit; she seems to see the storm coming, but can't decide whether to run up north in the open, or to put in here. Look there again! She is steered mighty strangely, for she doesn't mind the hand on the wheel; changes about with every puff of wind. We'll hear more of her before this time tomorrow."

Let's pause the grieving atmosphere between Mina, and Mr. Swales' words about to see the funniest dark comedy tone of the situation.

Dracula, a wealthy nobleman who has been landlocked for god knows how long, decided that the sailors who were just doing their job were expendable enough for him to kill and torture. Why would he care about the fate of simple humans when they are there to serve him as both food, and entertaiment at the expense of their lives; the Count only needs them to steer the ship near enough to Whitby right?

Well, after Dracula pushed the captain towards absolute terror after this trip from hell, which in return strengthen his indomitable human spirit, which made him tie himself to the wheel with the holy object that symbolically makes the ship herself untouchable to Dracula's hands... There he is.

The mighty conqueror of romania, the terrifying shadow that lurks the night, a living myth defying time as he feeds on the life of his victims... trapped in a ship where he cannot touch anything that matters thanks to his over indulgence, lack of actual care for his own plans, and once again underestimation of humans.

A shovel was not enough to make Dracula truly understand.

one of my favorite things about Sam Vimes’s character arc is that it’s literally your classic “gruff cop with ideals gets worn down by reality, descends into cynicism and booze” journey in reverse. 

I mean, it happens the normal way around the first time, but we don’t really see the first time- in Sam’s first introduction, he’s literally lying in a gutter. He’s already been chewed up and spat out, already seen the ugliness of the world and bent beneath it.

And then every book from there on out has him getting back up. It’s not a straightforward road, but he takes it anyways, and sure, he’s still cynical and still worn down, but he’s still got his ideals (though I’m not sure he’d like to call them ideals- maybe standards would do) and he cleans himself up and bit by bit, he works on cleaning up the world around him, too. He gets a family. He learns to accept others more openly than he had before. He still sees the ugliness in the world, but he confronts it instead of accepting it as just the way things are. Because there’s a way things should be, and he cares about it.

Sam Vimes, gruff cop with standards, ascends from cynicism and booze, starts wearing down on reality.

STARVATION EATS AT GAZA'S CHILDREN AS ISRAELI OCCUPATION CONTINUES IT'S GENOCIDE

📹 The 9-year-old child, Muhammad Kloub, dies in Al-Aqsa Martyr's Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, as result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing starvation campaign by its closure of the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem border crossings.

The Zionist army has physically burned down the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing, rendering the structure and facilities useless to prevent food from entering the Gaza Strip.
