Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

sometimes you do just have to lie to children.

tell me something nice

You literally have to understand that ur closest friends and loved ones may very well have kinks or fetishes that gross or freak you out and they simply won’t tell you because they know it grosses or freaks you out. Like you have no way of knowing if your best friend is into necro roleplay if she doesn’t wanna tell you. Sometimes you date someone for years before finding out they have a thing for incest. Maybe your coworker likes ageplay and diapers. Who gives a fuck. Nothing changes between you knowing and not knowing except your own constructed moral outrage.

Thank you.

Or like, to put it in terms that the "read what you like, who cares if you exclusively read kids' stuff" crowd are at a reading level to understand:

In the book "Green Eggs and Ham," the main character insists that he will only eat things he likes, and refuses under all circumstances when presented with an opportunity to try something new. At the end of the novel [spoiler alert] he agrees to Sam-I-Am's request and tries them, and he realizes that he was depriving himself of a favorite food for years, just out of fear of disliking something he ate. He learns a lesson, moving forward, that if he tries new things outside his comfort zone, that he may dislike some of them, but will enjoy many of them, and if he doesn't try new things outside his comfort zone, he will not like anything but the one thing he already eats.

Can you think of any situations in your own life where Sam-I-Am's teachings might be applicable?

I have this picture of sasuke on my phone that chase and I call “safe for work sasuke” and it’s because it’s the tallest picture in my camera roll so whenever he sends me any nsfw stuff when I’m in public I just send sfw sasuke and he takes up the whole screen

actually you know what that's exactly it i would rather someone add 5 parantheticals after every sentence than use tone indicators it's 1. accomplishing SO much more in terms of clarity 2. extremely funny to look at depending on how they're used

Count Dracula in the original novel was so many different things all woven together.

On the “allegory for real evil” side of things there’s:

Count Dracula as a relic from a dark and violent period of history

Count Dracula as an aristocrat sucking the life out of the lower classes

Count Dracula as a sexual predator

And on the “supernatural horror” side of things there’s:

Count Dracula as a disease that modern medicine cannot possibly explain or cure

Count Dracula as an unnatural bestial predator just barely maintaining the mask of humanity

Count Dracula stealing the free will of his victims and causing their personalities to die while their bodies continue to walk about

He’s a multilayered villain where every new layer is just a new kind of villainy.

But various adaptations over the past century have basically invented the idea of Dracula as a seductive corrupting force, decided to make that his whole deal, and then decided that Dracula must not be that bad and people in Victorian England were clearly only scared of him because they were scared of sexuality.
