“MAYBE IT’S NOT MY WEEKEND, BUT IT’S GONNA BE MY YEAR” I scream at 12 am with tears streaming down my face and a bottle of champagne in my hand. it has not been my year yet. it’s not even a weekend today is Thursday
i feel like a lot of people kinda don’t realise bodily autonomy also must include the right to harm yourself. yeah genuinely. and it makes no difference whether that harm is likely or unlikely, objectively real or ideologically imagined. if you want the government to define what it’ll allow you to do with your own body and enforce what you cannot “for your own good” you are 1) basically begging to live in a police state 2) a huge idiot because it will inevitably bite you in the ass when something you do gets defined as harmful
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Dracula was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
I thought the funny part about Dracula was that the characters didn’t know they were in Dracula but so far it looks like Jonathan Harker exclusively doesn’t know he’s in Dracula and everyone else has a pretty solid idea of what’s going on
sorry I’ve been posting like shit lately I got picked up by a large bird and have only been able to get on tumblr when we fly near a cell tower. oh great it’s heading back towards the mountai
I really don’t like the art style they did for the anime adaptation of Ascendance of a Bookworm. The manga style is cute and proportional, with great shading and texture. The anime keeps none of that texture, makes all of the colors flat and uninteresting and can’t even keep their faces cute.
Also I don’t understand why they had to give her mom and Turi such an ugly shade of green for their hair. There were so many other shades they could have used.
I’m disappointed in this wild-eyed, untextured adaptation and I don’t see myself coming to like the anime anytime soon.
As someone who studies history I often wondered how ordinary people thought about living through such huge historical events. Now I know they were sick and tired of that shit.
Ftr, the primary sources they left behind bear this out. Like not to miss the joke but quite honestly just about every diary or letter series or whatever reinforces this: most people in big historical events just wanted them to be over so they could get back to the day to day living (or into a new, non-horrific state depending) WITH LESS STRESS.
The predominant tone of personal primary sources from any one of your favourite Exciting Eras of History are of exhaustion, resentful or resigned depending.
me, rewatching my favourite media for the hundredth time: it’s about the comfort. it’s about the nostalgia. it’s about lacking the necessary emotional bandwidth to take in and process new things in this year of our lord 2021
the thing about being in a fandom for a long time is you inevitably develop very intense opinions about things you know objectively are absolutely meaningless but nonetheless make you want to gnaw through drywall like a feral cat and there’s just nothing you can do about that
