What if…what if I told you there’s a media that is everything I wanted Voltron to be?

I feel like I am sitting on forbidden knowledge rn

Anything that references the midnight burger I MUST REBLOG - no you guys don’t understand - this is the only audio podcast to ever make me start BAWLING in PUBLIC. honestly just so beautiful and poignant - had to stop listening to it when trying to clean and tidy because I’d just stop doing that???? To listen to the midnight burger with 100% attention instead???

Some audio dramas to pick up on your next rainy day! 🌦

What I love about Jason Todd is that he's angry about his trauma. Life fucked him over and he's rightfully pissed off. We already have "healed from their anger" Dick Grayson and "ignores their emotions" Bruce Wayne. Thank you DC for giving us "hurt and upset and lashing out" Jason Todd.

my boyfriend got tumblr (I convinced him!!)

anyway here’s his analysis of whatever from the first May 3rd entry of Dracula daily. (don’t let him fool you - he did actual research for this - he doesn’t know this all of the top of his head)

Bram Stoker Doesn't Understand Maps

Good Morning degenerates, My girlfriend has finally got me to use tumblr because I need an avenue to vent my rage and frustration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dracula Daily was off to a great start. I was sending wholesome messages to my lovely partner until all of a sudden. I was filled with rage. Despite being set in the 1890s. As a contemporary text set when it was written, and being in the wake of the great Hungarian Revolution of 1849. There are too many geographical issues and I can only come to a single conclusion.

Bram Stoker doesn't understand maps.

Let's start with what killed me first. His claim that by claiming that crossing the Danube into Budapest "Took us among the traditions of Turkish rule"

But my friends. HUNGARY WAS (almost) NEVER RULED BY THE TURKS. The Ottomans got close, they owned most of the Balkans until big daddy Russia beat their asses in the Crimean and Russo-Turkish war. But even at their territorial peak they hadn't crossed the Carpathian Mountains into Hungary since 1699.

And even then, they'd only controlled Hungary since 1541. Nowhere near enough time to describe Hungarian architecture as "among the traditions of Turkish rule", it's fucking blasphemous.

It's like saying the Welsh bear "the traditions of Viking rule" just because they controlled parts of England.

And don't even get me started on this nonsense Transylvanian nationalism. The Hapsburgs had annexed that territory since 1683 and Transylvanian princes were quickly replaced with Habsburg imperial governors as the Roman Catholic Church was weaponized against the traditionally Protestant lands.

Now don't get me wrong. Austria Hungary was notoriously decentralized, and despite this what I've said above. Transylvania had some level of freedom, I could almost understand Bram if his writings were set 50 years earlier, or perhaps partway through the Hungarian revolution. But unfortunately for history, it was completely and unequivocally crushed by the Russian and Austrian forces. And following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 any special status Transylvania once had, had ended. It became a province under the Hungarian diet and referring to it as though it was an independent nation is laughable.

Or is it? You see, just like sex and gender. A nation and a state are two different things. You see, a state is defined by its ability to have sovereignty, (control) over the going on within its defined borders. Whereas a nation is basically a group of people with a common language, history, and culture. And just like sex and gender, despite the fact that most countries (after ww2 at least but that's a different tangent) are nation-states, there are many nations without states (like the Kurds or the Palestinians). We're not lucky enough to have states without nations just yet but I'm holding out hope.

Perhaps Signor Stoker was simply referring to this concept of nationality instead. IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF I WAS AN IDIOT. YOU SEE "In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North"

This quote proves that this foppish fool of a man is clearly not viewing Transylvania as a nation in the sociological sense either.

BUT IT GETS WORSE. FOR BRAMOTHY STOKERSON SAYS TRANSYLVANIA BORDERS "Moldavia and Bukovina". BUT MOLDAVIA HASN'T EXISTED SINCE 1877, WHEN IT AND WALLACHIA UNIFIED INTO ROMANIA. AND BUKOVINA (as part of the Austro-Hungarian empire) HAD ITS SOVEREIGNTY DESTROYED AT THE SAME TIME THE TRANSYLVANIANS DID.

In conclusion. Big Boss Bram has never read a map in his life.

Bram stoker - the cartographer

my boyfriend: How would you feel if I was writing a paper about my journey to the UK my boyfriend: And I referred to my trip to the INDEPENDENT NATION OF WALES and their NORDIC ARCHITECTURE AND HERATIDGE

I'm getting my boyfriend to read Dracula Daily. He's not taking all the confusing geography and history nonsensical writings very well.

"Yeah well he's (Bram Stoker) just bad at maps clearly"

wfa + textposts for funsies

You deserve a calm love with somebody who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.

okay no so apparently the church is just - like that. Yeah there’s fire hazards everywhere. There’s PowerPoint transitions. And you bet they’re not putting the words to the prayers they expect everyone to say into the little booklet they give you.

another benefit (?) to not being fully religious is my younger sister revealed that she had thought the whole ‘Jesus coming back to life’ was a metaphor this whole time.

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!

okay so I’m going to try and make a poll here goes nothing -

(and if anyone asks me to define ‘experience’ ;-; it’s literally just want any believer would define as evidence for ghosts/supernatural/paranormal/other-worldly - use your brain or at least your blood imagination’

what is humanity but a fickle shell with a calcium deficiency

I need you to know that I’ve submitted a story of mine to watcher for the nest season of too many spirits - like if my story gets picked I’m going to making a whole separate blog for Shaniacs with ghost experiences - and will be publishing asks lol

Also yeah - go Shane! Go all of us! Like whether or not you believe in ghosts I always think experiences are just fun :)

okay I’m trying to make a 26x26 song collection - no repeats of artists! (my dad and I play a game of naming artists and songs beginning with certain letters - that’s where this idea is from)

I’ve already started my excel spreadsheet but like!

reblog with your favourite songs by bands! Smaller bands are great too! Hype up your own band!!!

also if I actually get enough interaction on this I WILL do a review of each song with my limited music skills :)

Star Trek TOS is that wretched mint plant that refuses to die but refuses to grow enough leaves for you to use them.

Star Trek the original series - my beloved and beloathed

honestly I can’t wait for Shane to be a guest on puppet history!!! though we know Shane likes history so he might not be a contestant - maybe like a teachers aide (TA)??? I mean the professor has been doing this a long time now! It makes sense he’d take on a PHD student or such!

Y’all my tumblr interaction pleading work - anyway if my story goes get featured on too many spirits - I swear I will make an entire new page/whatever on tumblr here for all my ghost and paranormal stories.

I’m manifesting!

y’all give me a singular interaction on this post and I will submit one of my very best ghost stories to wearewatcher for the next too many spirits.

VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT

('The drawings match no known plants' - MAYBE THE AUTHOR IS JUST BAD AT DRAWING - botany drawings are hard!!!')

I'm barely halfway through this episode and I can already feel this stupid dumb little book becoming my newest obsession.

I don't care if many smarter more qualified individuals have looked at it! let me look! surely i can find something!

tbh it's just very FUN

LOOK I've cried multiple times over Linear A and I love old science theories and texts - this is the perfect distraction from everything else in my life

just had a guy declare he’d fight for me because I gave him some popcorn.

mercenaries seem to have to really gone down in price!

having friends doing arts degree is crazy when you’re doing science;

they’re over here drawing little characters and I’m trying to do maths to not fail my lab exam tomorrow

cluster B does not deserve any of this like srsly. or like any mental health issue or thing.

just… op is so right and it’s sucks that they’re right

There are only two mental illnesses according to people on the internet:

Innocent bean syndrome: You can never do wrong and got no agency. You will be infantilized on every occasion and are treated as a quirk.

Bad person syndrome: You are bad and an abuser. Your presence kills people.

SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT SHAKESPEARE PLEASE

CAPULET GIRL ON FLUTE

I’m realising I have so many bizarre Shakespeare related stories. For English, we had to do a ‘fun’ summary presentation. Somehow one guy ended up convincing our group to write and later perform to the class a parody version of uptown girl. This was accompanied by my recently ex-boyfriend of two weeks (who still was not speaking to me or sitting any less than three seats away from me - even if no one else was sitting there) playing the song on flute. ON FLUTE.

I would say that luckily that no one could hear us over the damn flute. However, another girl had made a karaoke style PowerPoint video creation, so that everyone could see our terrible lyrics on the screen clearly.

a sample of what I can remember:

Capulet girl She's been living in her Capulet world I bet she's never had a Montague guy I bet her momma never told her why

it is the most dreadful thing I’ve ever been a part of and I did high school theatre .
