retrobaltimore:

In 1987, just shy of her 85th birthday, Baltimore heroine, baseball enthusiast and volunteer “Aunt” Mary Dobkin passed away. Crippled by frostbite at a young age, Aunt Mary was a pioneer in working with children and developing baseball teams around the city to create safe havens for the children to stay out of trouble. Her activism was brought to national attention in 1979 when Jean Stapleton starred in the movie about her life entitled “Aunt Mary.” (Irving H. Phillips Jr., Baltimore Sun photo, 1979)

1762: Ann Franklin became the first female editor of an American newspaper, the Newport, R.I., Mercury.

1787: Inventor John Fitch demonstrated his steamboat on the Delaware River to delegates of the Continental Congress.

1902: President Theodore Roosevelt became the first U.S. chief executive to ride in an automobile, in Hartford, Conn.

1911: It was announced in Paris that Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” had been stolen from the Louvre Museum the night before. (The painting turned up two years later, in Italy.)

Requestedbyanon: “Hello glorious author-chan! I have a request for you. I have a fun little imagine for you. Can you make an Ikemen Vampire imagine of what their reactions would be like in modern times?”

A/N: I honestly don’t know what this is, like it ended up as the child of a drabble and a headcanon.

Warning: implied smut and nudity (come on Arthur is here)

Napoleon Bonaparte:

• He’d be shocked and in awe at the same time.
• Wanting to know EVERYTHING about how people live in the 21st century.
• Is it a better, easier life? Is everyone treated equally and safe?
• He’s astonished by the night lights as well, so bright and beautiful.
• It’s absolutely unforgettable and he stays up at night a little longer to watch the busy city below, drinking the beautiful view until he falls asleep. 
• Also more content with the clothing fashion.
• Yes it’s very unusual to him since he’s not used to it but clothes used to be so uncomfortable, especially for women.
• Though he really didn’t feel comfortable with such revealing clothes. 
• He’s very cute about it around you though, hiding in your neck with flushed, embarrassed cheeks. 

Leonardo Da Vinci:

• Doesn’t show his amazement as much except through his tone of voice.
• Wants to know how a phone works.
• Surprisingly – or unsurprisingly –  not having to explain it regularly, he picks up on it very quickly.
• He’s very impressed. 
• Your days were divided into visiting shops, showing him technologies, public transport, probably every single thing about the city and cuddling in bed and showing him how the TV works because “the mattress is so comfortable”.
• Even though you know how comfortable a surface is, never stopped him from falling asleep.
• He really likes it in the modern day.
• I think he would be one of the residents that would fit in rather quickly and easily. 

Comte De Saint Germain: 

• It’s not that much of a shocker for him for obvious reasons but because you’d spent your life in modern day, he got to see your view and had a much positive outlook on it.
• Not that it was negative to begin with, he just didn’t pay as much attention to it before and now that he has, it’s eye opening, in a way. 
• He loved the sparkle in your eyes as you rejoiced in the things you used to know before you travelled back in time. 
• It was a sight for sore eyes. 
• He enjoyed visiting with you, even though he spent more time seeing the twinkle in your eyes than being happy over the smaller things. 
• Comte is much more open about PDA for obvious reasons and he feels the modern day is something the both of you share as a precious memory now.

Arthur Conan Doyle:

• His demeanour is one of someone who’s seen everything already but the huge smile and eyes just showed that he was a little boy excited about discovering everything.
• Arthur dragged you around to tell him how things work if he couldn’t pick up on by himself. 
• You went to a mall and Victoria’s Secret caught his eye so fast it was S C A R Y.
• “Try this sweetheart, and this and this-” 
• Yes, despite all your protests, you spent the whole day in the store trying on clothes for him. 
• He enjoyed it very much.
• Arthur promised he would discover something new with you that didn’t involved being naked.
• How nice of him *chokes*
• It was a tiring day for you since you did all the standing, changing and displaying for him.
• But the night provided to be very rewarding hehe
• If you know what I mean
• ;)
• You know what I mean, why am I saying this.

Theodorus Van Gogh: 

• He has a similar behaviour to Arthur at first, indifferent behaviour but very curious eyes.
• You can tell he doesn’t want to ask questions but wants the answers. 
• So you just start talking and explaining things.
• He’s a little flushed because he would have told you to stop talking by now but he doesn’t since you’re informing him on everything.
• Theo would keep visiting until you got tired and wouldn’t hesitate to carry you back to your place and cuddle up on the couch.
• Showing him how the TV works but he prefers sleeping in your bed because it’s so comfy and he can hug you.

Vincent Van Gogh:

• “WOW!” *sparkly eyes*
• Asks you about EVERYTHING
• Holds your hand the whole time.
• Also he apologises for always inquiring about everything.
• Reassuring him that it’s alright.
• Proceeds to go back to questioning everything.
• Politely asks if you guys can go to an exhibition the next day to see paintings and saying yes.
• Very gladly cuddling in your neck and saying how amazing everything is.
• He’s too cute T-T
• Vincent was smiling in his sleep because he got to discover so many new things with you and he couldn’t express how content he was.
• Your heart is constantly melting as he acts like an overjoyed puppy.
• He’s forever thankful to you and this will always be engraved in his memory.

Amadeus Mozart:

• The pianist can’t physically hide his amazement. 
• “Can we go to an instrument store?” 
• Holds your hand tightly and keeps you close like he’s protecting you.
• When in fact it should be the other way around given that you have lived your entire life in the modern day.
• But you already knew that ‍♀️
• His eyes light up more than they already did when you enter an empty store and there are three or four pianos. 
• Mozart let his fingers caress the smooth surface, taking in all the details of the instruments.
• He’s relieved that they didn’t change as significantly as everything else in the world. 
• Lowkey wants to buy all the pianos because he wants to try them. 
• A very confused boy at attire.
• And blushing at how more ‘revealing’ they are. 
• He could get used to this.

Jean D’Arc:

• He would be in silent shock, staying close to you and looking around in amazement. 
• Jean would be pretty shy about asking too many questions, not wanting to bother you.
• Reassuring him that it was fine, similar to Vincent.
• Jean was somehow more considerate about it, not wanting to bother you with his inquiries.
• Whispering questions and trying so hard to try and make sense of things himself, sometimes it works, kind of!!
• Like Napoleon, he’s relieved the world is happier and fairer. 
• It was a huge shock for him at first, everything was different, but he was fortunate enough to be with you.
• Now he reminisces of the experience as a magical moment that will forever be engraved in his memory.

Isaac Newton:

• Absolutely astonished.
• He has so many questions but he didn’t know where to start.
• Similar to Jean, he was a little shy about asking questions and trying to solve things on his own.
• Being surprised at how complex things turn out to be.
• Isaac has mixed emotions about knowing that the foundation of physics are his three famous laws. 
• Because the world seemed overwhelmingly unknown and huge, he nearly clung onto you.
• You locked your arm with his, seeing his unease but also not wanting to trouble you.
• He felt better instantly and silently thanked you, blushing in embarrassment. 
• The first thing you taught him was what a phone was and about the kindergarden/school system.
• You reminisce about how he went along into town with Napoleon to attempt to teach children.
• It wasn’t a particular detail he would have inquired about but he feels strangely relieved about it.
• He was touched by the small details you remember about him and he keeps it in mind.
• It was an unforgettable experience for him to have with you.
• But something he does not want to let go is the bed, it’s shockingly comfortable for him.

Osamu Dazai:

• “Wow, are you seeing this (Not Y/N)-chan?” 
• “That’s not my name-” 
• “What is this?” 
• No shame about asking whatsoever. 
• “Miraculous!” 
• A lot of him grinning and praising everything and anything, including you.
• “You’re delightful (Y/N)-chan, such an interesting answer!” 
• “D-did you just call me by my nam-”
• “Are you coming (Not Y/N)-chan?” 
• “Nevermind,” you grumble, pouting as you follow behind him.
• He chuckled, finding you so cute before cupping your cheeks and openly kissing you in public.
• Dazai finds even more amusement with how flushed you are for a while as you clung onto his arm, answering questions with a breathy tone.
• Despite his second degree humour throughout everything, he’s actually thoroughly enjoyed spending time doing this with you and becoming a treasured memory.

William Shakespeare: 

• He was actually rendered speechless for a long while.
• Which was unusual for him obviously.
• But it was a little disconcerting for him since he always had something to say. 
• You couldn’t help but eye him admiring everything.
• Despite his unnerving silence, the way his eyes lit up was something that you didn’t know you needed to witness. 
• It looked like he found something to look forward to in life. (can’t relate lol)
• That thought alone made you hopeful and sad at the same time.
• He was always very polite and considerate about inquiring about things. 
• As in, he always read the ‘room’ before asking, wanting to stay in your good graces, even though he is already in them.
• Finding the bed in your place being painfully heaven-like.
• If he wasn’t as invested in learning about the modern world, he would totally examine and savour the beauty that is a bed.
• Without you knowing, however, he would spend a lot of time studying you as well.
• It was fascinating to him, seeing you enjoying yourself in your natural habitat.

Sebastian: 

• I mean he lived there before so there isn’t much to say.
• He does reminisce a lot though, all previous memories rushing back.
• Just as if the residents were a long dream. 
• One thing that surprised him a little was that he enjoyed spending time with you in the modern day so much that it’s in a smal, different compartment in his brain altogether.
• Basically nostalgia but also happy new memories.
