It would absolutely make my week if you could write something with prompt 40 and 57 for our angel Prince blue 🙏🙏 enjoy your vaca also!!

40. Missing Them 57. Secretly Dating. 57 is my favorite trope i will die on that hill thanks.

Blue Eyes was unable to tear his gaze away from the way that your mouth was forming words as you discussed something with his Father, Caesar mounted on his black stallion with his Son only a few feet distance between the two of them.

Trotting the reins of his own horse a bit, he shifted his casing backwards to get a better view of you. Top of your head, the flurry of hair that draped downwards, to the beating of your jugular against your neck, paced quickly as you were speaking, throttling with the speech that Blue Eyes felt incredibly captivated by and left him feeling that unmistakable urge in the pit of his stomach again at the idea of touching his bare mouth to your equally appointed skin. Something he had yet to do, unsure of how to approach such an action but as your eyes flickered into his own azure stare for a moment, something that felt like eternity, but it wasn’t too far fetched anymore. 

A possible mate, the Ape Prince thought to himself and felt his mouth fall open as he stared a deepened hole into you. Barely blooming, Blue Eyes had no real indication what it felt like to court, if that’s what this was. If that’s what you were begging for on the very tip of your tongue as you peered at him, almost scrutinizingly so but he’d let you if it meant he kept your attention.

Morbid, but Blue Eyes sought it unknowingly like it was gravity itself. And to complicate matters was the aspect of your Human Nature, the way that you were hugged into a jacket in the moment when fur lined his entire body, captivating in darkened allure and musky scent that you wanted to bury yourself in. It was clear from your stance on the ground, your feet tugging together that both were unsure of the feelings caught like a fish. 

The agreement to keep silent on the idea and let it fester into something bigger much more enticing than letting the entire Colony know that Blue Eyes, the heir to Caesar, found prospect in… You. Too shy was Blue Eyes to admit to anything more though there was the pull in the back of his mind, too worried for your safety to admit anything more as he constantly had Koba sitting on his shoulder at moments that made your position with Blue Eyes all the more precarious but still the lingerance of wanting you near him at all time was drawing the Ape to the brink of insanity if he was not ever going to allow anything to actually come to fruition.

What felt like hive minds were brought back to the attention of Caesar who responded to your inquiry of how long the journey was going to take, the tender love and notion you put into the phrasing afflicted towards Blue Eyes only.

‘Only two full days. Should return by the night on the second day.’ His green eyes that were pushed like the forest looked towards the towering enclosure he shared with his family, including the Prince who had your attention even in the moments that Blue Eyes presumed himself to be alone. ‘Take care of Cornelia. This soon after birth…’

“Don’t worry.” You whispered for him and gave a reassuring smile that trailed towards the younger Ape behind his Father and fell into a more shaken state of adoration. “I’ll take care of her.”

Rocket had made his way to the front of the tally, resting beside Caesar and Koba who was intent on leading, prepared to take off. The appointed right hand man was there and the party was complete. There was no reason to stay near the horses any longer, you smiled at the Chimps in parting and moved back to look up at Blue Eyes’ broad form on the back of his horse. 

Regal, in all aspects, but you could tell from the slump of his sweeping collarbones gave you that he wanted nothing more than to return to the evening you two shared before this dawned morning, when you were alone in the woods, your shoulder brushing against his fur clad muscles as you muttered how much you were going to miss him while he was torn from your side to take in a trip with Caesar and the council to rummage a nearby Human camp that had only recently been abandoned. He was quiet beside you, nodding in agreement and only stiffened for a second as you leaned your head against his shoulder, careful as to not rest against the bruised and delicate skin that had been clawed by a bear. 

The sensation of your head against him was so Human and so foreign to Blue Eyes but he wanted it no other way, the familiar nature of his shattered emotions all too enticing to delve into as you were the one breaking the ideology in the first place. The delicate tethering of a relationship neither of you were sure about, an Ape and a Human. The shared and stoked glances you danced between, the way that you fumbled your fingers against his own when you offered him a wicker bowl to collect his meal in, the curt and shortened nod he gave you them. 

How he’d stare obliviously into the back of your head during council meetings upon the perch, only long enough to take in the pulls of your body from afar, Blue Eyes attune to how you looked so near to him that it was always amazing to captivate in how you moved from afar. Different than any Ape, the way your smile formed for him for a bit before you trailed around the Colony in search of something to keep you busy. Koba would say something in times like these, something about how disgusting it was you were parading around like you owned the place but Blue Eyes… Did not mind… As long as you paraded for him and him only. 

All a dream to Blue Eyes; all a figment that he never imagined happening as he glanced towards his Father and then back at you once the party departed the front entrance of the Colony, the chattering of other Apes at the departure hitting your senses as they were saying their goodbyes and good wishes to their King for a abundant travels with the hopes of learning even more of the region they made home so many years ago. Common place occurrences, you thought and it gave you a moment alone in a stunted crowd.

No one was paying attention and in melancholic silence he signed for you and only you, your heart jumping itself into your throat. ‘Will go by quickly. Will try to bring you back… the things you asked.’

‘Make sure to bring yourself back safely, too.’ There was a yearning to your motions, something that was attributed to the teachings that Blue Eyes gave you when you were alone otherwise your signing came off as extremely amateur and it was hard to communicate properly with the other Apes you were befriending. ‘Would not make it alone here without you.’

Watching as he took off, glances sunken you admired the gait of Blue Eyes svelte body that was presented on horseback. So strong and incredibly powerful, there was no doubt in your mind that the attraction was justified, your fingers twitching as you wanted to chase after him but your feet felt too heavy with a burdened promise to keep your admiration quiet for the time being.

 Blue Eyes gave you one more sign. His thick pointer finger against the lips you wanted to feel caressing your entire body, flattening into an extended and stretched palm onto his closed fist that could beat you into submission if he so chose, and you’d be recklessly romantic to let it happen. ‘Promise.’

Hey, remember that discussion about Marcille role in the magic school? In chapter 17 in English she is identified as "from the research program", which I just took to mean she went to different sort of classes. But the PT-BR translated it as "pós-graduação"(post-grad), which I found interesting. I looked and apparently the Japanese word 研究科 is literally "research section", but it is used for post grad students who continue to study and research at an university. (cont)

I don't think this changed the ultimate conclusion much, as we already knew she wasn't a regular student, but I find interesting this was identified very early in the story and many people didn't realize (English is not my first language, but I wonder if "research program" is just not a established thing in anglo universities so people don't realize what it was supposed to mean).

Also, thinking a bit more I will revise my previous theory. I postulated before Marcille never formally "graduated" and got "homeschooled" instead. I wonder if it is not a mix of both. 2 years seems too fast to join and graduate (we know Falin took longer), but maybe Marcile did join as a regular student 2 years prior, but because she had been learning from her mom she graduated super fast. That would further the mystique she carries with students as we see in chapter 17.

(referring to this.)

That's really interesting! It's not very straight forward how it works. Here's EHScans vs the official english of that scene from ch17 and ch 57

I guess this could be in the sense she wasn't there to learn like the other kids but to research on her own?

She is canonically a genius tho so I agree that she could have graduated formally before becoming a researcher!

gnt do ceu, fico tao feliz de encontrar outro br 😍😍

poderia pedir miguel x reader, em q a lyla percebe q ele gosta do reader e ela tenta dar um jeitinho p ajudar o miguel

enfim oq só as melhores i.a podem fazer😉

˚‧⁺.-"All you need is to be struck by one of Cupid's arrows"

↳ summary: Miguel lives in denial about his little crush, so Lyla is forced to help.

↳ characters: Miguel O'Hara

↳ Gn! Spidey Reader

↳ notes: another brazilian? I didn't think I'd find another one, but it's a pleasant surprise. we must stick together 💪Honestly, I don't have much confidence in my writing, but I hope you like it and thanks for asking.

Miguel was in love and it was obvious. At least for Lyla. He occasionally glared at you, looked like an abandoned puppy when you left, and was absolutely more than willing to do anything you asked.

What irritated Lyla the most was that he never had the nerve to ask you out. Come up to you and ask for a mission report? That was easy for Miguel. Send you on a complicated mission? Pft, he did that almost all the time. But simply asking you out? He had no idea how to do this, not that he planned to do that.

She couldn't take Miguel anymore with the face of a dog that fell off a moving truck when you're not around. It wasn't hard to ask you out. If Miguel didn't do it, she would do it for him herself. Deciding to change that, Lyla started checking Miguel's schedule and your own. Lyla smiled when she found a vague moment in common in the two schedules. Now, it was simple. All Lyla had to do was make a date and everything would be fine.

Miguel was confused when he got a notification from his schedule saying he had an event in two hours. He was pretty sure he didn't have any other meetings that day.

As soon as he checked his calendar and saw that he had an appointment with you, he panicked and called Lyla, demanding an answer.

"Lyla, what does that mean? You take care of my schedule and I never set up this meeting." His heart was beating fast now. A date with you? This could only be a joke.

Lyla materialized beside Miguel and glared at him with a mischievous smile before speaking. "That's exactly what you saw, boss. You have this meeting in two hours. You better start getting ready and maybe even buy some gifts. People like presents, you know?"

"But I never scheduled this meeting!" Miguel looked at Lyla with a mixture of anger, despair, and confusion. "Exactly why I, your amazing assistant, did this for you. If it were up to you, you would be stranded for the rest of your life."

"I never gave you permission to do this-" "But now it's done. At this point, the calendar notification has arrived and has probably already been read. There's no way to stop it anymore. And since I'm a very generous assistant, I'll help you get dressed for your first date with your crush."

At this point, he was mortified not knowing how to respond. He would never have expected to go on a date like this. Miguel didn't answer anything and just stood there, not knowing what to do.

"Don't worry boss, you'll thank me later. Oh, and the appointment I made is in earth 57, at that restaurant you like to go to. I made a reservation in your name."

After taking a moment to compose himself, Miguel still wanted to argue with Lyla, but he already knew he couldn't cancel the meeting anymore. He sighed before speaking. "Just....guide me"

Lyla laughed excitedly and began to ramble on about which outfit he should wear.

Hours later, Miguel could be seen wearing a casual outfit and with a bouquet of flowers sitting at the table while waiting for you. As soon as you arrived and greeted him, he quickly got up from the chair he was sitting in and greeted you back, offering you the bouquet of flowers. You can barely thank him before he pulls out a chair for you to sit down.

He was slightly flushed in the face the entire dinner while you carried on a casual conversation. At first, Miguel only gave a few short and brief answers because he was embarrassed. However, after some time of conversation, he opened up more and it really started to have a date atmosphere.

Right after the two finished eating, Miguel insisted on paying the bill. He ended up accompanying you for a short night walk in Central Park and, before you opened a portal and returned to your house, you gave him a quick kiss on the cheek thanking you for the pleasant encounter.

Miguel was paralyzed for a while after you left, but he traced his cheek with his hand as a small, dreamy smile formed on his lips.

Maybe what Lyla had done wasn't all bad.

Maybe...

Your Words I Hold Forever Ch. 8

May 26th, 1968 4:57 pm

Lexi spotted Rue first. She observed the girl she considered her best friend through the living room window, sitting on the top step of her front porch.  Rue's slender frame was hunched over, her long wiry arms wrapped around her knees.  Her dark curls were held in place by a single hair tie, leaving the long tresses to hang in layers down the middle of her back.

Lexi had no idea why she was here. There was no reason for her to be here...not a good one anyway...

It had been several days since her directorial debut...a disaster in her opinion.  Well, not a complete disaster, but just as she had predicted, it had ruffled some feathers, and Cassie was definitely not happy with her.

She had rushed out of the auditorium with tears in her eyes and had been giving her the cold shoulder ever since.  She had even refused to stay home for summer break.

She had fully expected the same treatment from Rue, but here she was. 

Lexi took a step forward towards the window and paused, taking Rue in.  She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, gathering her courage to barrel headfirst into the storm she had created, before making her way to the front door.

The sound of the door opening caused Rue to jump, her eyes wide as she turned to face Lexi.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Lexi gave an apologetic smile as she stepped onto the front porch.

“It’s – no, it’s fine.  I was about to knock.” Rue stood up and dusted off the back of her shorts.  “You know…once I stopped sitting on your steps like some square.” She let out a laugh that didn’t crinkle her eyes the way it usually did.

At least she didn’t seem angry.  Maybe she had dodged the storm after all?

“That’s okay…is – I mean, did you want -” Lexi gestured towards the front door with her thumb.

“No. No, I’m not staying long…I don’t want to bug you.  I just…I’m sorry I randomly showed up at your house, but umm,” Rue turned her face from Lexi and folded her arms over her stomach.  “There’s something I want – I need to tell you.  And I’m not good at this, but I need to try, you know? And I was told making amends with those you love is like the first step to healing yourself…or, some shit like that.”

“Okay…here,” Lexi motioned to the bench to her left, “Come sit.” She sat down and patted the spot next to her. 

Rue’s shoulders visibly sagged as she shuffled her way over and sat down.  She scooted herself back on the bench, just enough to where she could bring her knees up to her chest and wrap her arms around them again.

“Honestly I’m surprised you’re here…I figured you’d be mad at me.” Lexi couldn’t hide the relief in her voice as she spoke.

“No! Not at all! I just…” She let out a long sigh. “I’ve been a real shit friend,” she said after several seconds. “To you…to other people too, but especially to you. And I know I’ve done this spiel before - I could sit here and give you all the reasons why, but they're just excuses…they don't excuse what I've done.  But…"

“Rue…I know you’ve been struggling, and…who am I to tell you how to cope with that…whatever it may be.  I can’t. But I don't want you hurting yourself either.” Lexi shrugged her shoulder while raising her hand.  Letting her hand fall back down, she folded them in her lap and angled herself to where she was facing Rue.  “And…I’m sorry…I know I kind of put all your shit out in the open with the play…but my goal was not to hurt you. I promise. I miss you and I love you, you know?  I wanted you to understand that.  And I wanted to help…but I guess I fucked that up huh?” she smiled wryly. “And the play was complete shit too…guess I deserve that.”

Rue raised her head to look at Lexi, an incredulous expression morphing her beautiful features.

“Why do you always do that?” Lexi furrowed her brows in confusion.

“You’re always putting yourself down,” Rue continued.

Lexi huffed out a soft chuckle.  “Yeah…I’ve been told that before.”

“So, stop. I thought your play was really beautiful. You know, seeing your play…what you wrote…it meant the world to me.  It’s probably the first time in a long time I’ve looked at my life and not completely hated myself.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know…I think I’ve been through a lot and I just, I don’t know what to do with it.” Rue inclined her head in Lexi’s direction. “You’ve been through a lot, and you know what to do with it.”

Lexi scoffed.  “I don’t know about that.”

Truth is she felt like she had some sort of chronic, debilitating illness and only within the past few years had she found something…a way to manage the pain, the hurt she felt.  But it wasn’t a cure.

“Lexi, look at what you’ve accomplished.  You’ve channeled all this negative shit and turned it into something.  I don’t know how to do that.” Rue swallowed thickly. “I don’t know how to get to where you are…but I promise I’m gonna try.  And I just wanted to say thank you…for not giving up on me.  And, you know, for giving me a second chance.”

Lexi gave a small smile. “Of course.”

“I mean it.  Since we’ve reconnected, it’s been nice having someone to talk to again. Someone who understands. I mean, I talk to Gia...but, I could never fully share with her what was going on,” Rue tapped her temple with a slender finger, “up here.  And certainly not with mom. After Dad died, they were grieving too…I didn’t want to unload on them like that.”

“Do you think about your dad often?” Lexi whispered, gently encouraging Rue to continue.

Rue nodded. “Yeah.  I feel like I still had so much to learn from him, you know? I also think I’m really angry about it.”

“Yeah…”

“Do you ever get angry about it?”

“It's… a bit more complicated than that.” Yes, she was still angry. She didn’t want to be, but it was just one of many secondary side effects, or sequelae, to the condition that was left by Gus Howard’s leaving.

“What do you mean?”

“Of course, I still get mad…but, I think like…I was also kind of relieved when he stopped showing up because…I was always so worried something bad was going to happen.”

“Hmm’” Rue hummed “I get that.”

“Now it’s like, every time the phone rings…” Lexi tilted her head “You know…?”

“But you figured it out – you fucking figured it out.  When my dad died, everybody would tell me that it was for a reason.  Ah,” Rue groaned, “that shit pissed me off.  I would literally want to strangle them.  But…I think what they were saying is that you gotta give it a reason - all of it…because I don’t want to hold on to this forever.  I can’t…just doesn’t feel good.” She shrugged “Its just…I know other people are built different but…you know…it’s just too much for me.”

Lexi nodded, feeling the familiar sting of tears fill her eyes at her friend’s words.  She hastily wiped at a tear as it slid down her cheek.

“Hey…I’m sorry.” Rue reached over, gently swiping her thumb at the corner of Lexi’s eye as another tear slid down. “I’m sorry.”

“No…it’s…”

“No – sorry.” Rue tried again.

“I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to ball on you.” Lexi huffed out a watery laugh.

“Lexi…I promise you it's not all his fault.”

“I know that.” And she did…in the back of her mind.  It provided only a small amount of comfort to her.

“And, maybe…I hope he wakes up every day and thinks, ‘I’m gonna be better for her’.  That’s also the problem” Rue inhaled deep and exhaled through her nose, “Because he only wants to be better for you…for Cassie.  Because he loves you a lot more than he loves himself.”

“Hmm.” Lexi hoped that was true.

“I know I do. I don’t know if that makes you feel better…”

“Thank you…” Lexi leaned forward and embraced Rue tightly. Rue seemed to melt into Lexi as she brought her own arms up, placing her palms flat just below Lexi’s shoulder blades and squeezed back. “I’m sorry, I just…I really missed you. With Cassie at college – God, she’s so mad at me right now. And mom…you know…There’s not been a lot keeping me going other than writing and Fe -” Lexi’s eyes widened suddenly, catching herself before she could finish what she was about to say.

Rue released Lexi from her embrace, an eyebrow arched. “And?”

“No – it’s nothing.  Sorry - I shouldn’t…” Lexi frantically tried to back track but it was too late.

“And what?” Rue asked again.  Lexi looked down, avoiding Rue’s eyes as heat blossomed up her neck. “Well…spit it out Howard.”

Lexi scrunched her nose, and a sheepish downturned smile graced her lips before she could stop it.  Her eyes flicked up and she could feel the warm, tingling sensation spread to her cheeks and ears, as she caught the smirk growing on Rue’s face.

“I…okay, there’s –”

“I knew it!” Rue clapped her hands together excitedly. “I knew you were being secretive about something! And the dedication at your play – who is it?”

“Well…” Lexi bit her bottom lip and Rue’s eyebrows rose slightly.

“Is it someone from school?”

“No – it’s not anyone from school, but you do know them.”

“Okay…”

“Oh God…I feel like I’m digging a hole here.  I…promise me you won’t be mad?”  Lexi really wished she could disappear, evaporate, like water on wet clothes, drying in the sun.

Rue’s eyebrows nearly reached her hairline. “Well shit…who is it?”

“Its Fez…”

Rue blinked several times before a wide grin spread across her face.

“You’re trippin’?” She barked out a laugh.

Lexi’s face grew hotter, and she brought her hands up to hide her burning face. “Oh God….”

“Wait…for real?” Lexi nodded, not trusting her voice.

“You gotta be shitting me.  That boy got some balls – how, when?”

“New Year’s.” Her answer was slightly muffled.

“New Year’s – wait, were you at Virgil’s then? I saw Fez but…”

“Yeah…” Lexi lowered her hands. “I was supposed to drive Cassie home, but she ditched me.  I wound up sitting next to him on one of the couches, and we got to talking. Then I saw him again at the Dairy a few days later and…I guess…”

“Well damn…” Lexi fought the urge to groan. “You know...it makes sense in a weird way.”

“What does?”

“The two of you…together.  You’re both kind, curious, and empathetic. You’re both caregivers.”

Lexi smiled, with a shrug of her shoulder. “Yeah…”

“So…you guys aren’t like…ballin’ – are you?  Because this whole coming clean and making amends and shit is a delicate process…one thing at a time okay.”

“I – Rue, first of all –”

“Oh gross…”

“Rue!” Lexi was sure her face was about to combust.

“Okay, okay…I just…at least its not Tucker Green.”

“Fuck Blake Green.” Lexi choked out, giggling.  “You know…you’re what brought us together. Our mutual love for you.”

“I don’t think he’s feelin’ a lot of love for me at the moment.  I think he’s still mad at me, to be honest.  He didn’t say it - I mean, he knows the nature of the game, but I really fucked things up, I think. And now…he didn’t even tell me he was drafted.  I found out from Kitty. I mean…”

“Hell,” Lexi let out a short huff, “He barely told me – I actually found the card – had to yell at him.” She glanced at Rue, tucking her bottom lip in again.  “You can write to him if you want…I am. And we can send the letters together.”

“Yeah…maybe.”

“Might make it easier, to write it out - what you need to say to him.”

“I just…I don’t want the last words I said to him to be… – I was pretty angry the last time I saw him, not in my right mind.  He was pretty pissed at me too.”

“Rue, I don’t think - and I feel I can say this with the utmost confidence - I don’t think he’s mad at you. I think he’s been worried about you.  And I think he feels guilty…”

“He’s got nothing to feel guilty about. I was doing shit before I met him, so that’s not on him.”

“Then write to him.” Lexi’s voice was firm, telling Rue what she needed to do.

“I…aren’t you scared of, like, what’s gonna happen? What if he doesn’t come back? I mean…shit.”

Leave it to Rue to be straight to the point.  Not that Lexi hadn’t been asking the same question over and over, ever since she had found out.

“Fuck if I know.  I try not to think about it. I can’t…”  Lexi’s stomach rolled, and she had to close her eyes. They popped open when she felt a warm hand on her leg.  Rue’s mouth was pursed in a thin line and her dark eyes were wide.

Lexi didn’t know what to say.  For the first time, she truly could not come up with the words to describe all the big feelings threatening to drown her.

She was being ridiculous – dramatic – but she couldn’t lose him. She couldn’t lose the one person in her life that made her feel appreciated and wanted…like she belonged.

Lexi sighed and placed one of her own hands on top of Rue’s, giving it a squeeze.

“I’m scared…of course I am.  I’ve never experienced this before, you know?  And…I know it may seem like I have the answers, but…I have no idea what to do.”

“Nobody said you had to…” Rue’s voice was soft, sympathetic.

“I go through the motions…like I did with dad…like I always do…” Lexi breathed out a sharp laugh. “He told me I should pray.” She laughed again, louder, the force of it slightly shaking her shoulders.

Rue brought Lexi into another tight hug, resting her head on Lexi’s shoulder. Her vision blurred as her eyes filled with tears again.

“You know, I don’t know much about God…can’t say we’re on good terms or anything, but let’s give it a shot.” Lexi managed to sputter out a whimper, as her shoulders continued to shake.

Rue wrapped her arms tighter around Lexi, interlocking her fingers, and it opened something within her. Like her very own Pandora’s box, all the hurt and fear she had been holding onto flowed down her cheeks with her tears.

Pre-Dracula vampire fiction (1)

Since Halloween is upon us, I decided, as a treat, to rescue my "live reading" tweets about the most important books of vampire fiction (according to Myself, of course) in the form of a reading log. (The things between [ ] are notes I'm interpolating now, for clarity.)

And, since Dracula Daily is coming quickly to a close, I'm inviting you all to a deep dive into the almost two centuries of vampire tradition that Stoker had behind him when he wrote Dracula.

We will start with Augustin Calmet's treatise on the undead (1749), then we will jump to a special edition I have of The Vampyre (the first vampire piece of prose, that we know of, from 1817) with some fanfic short stories based on it attached and then we will visit the Dracula's Brood anthology and a few similar ones (that you only find on Amazon BR). Depending on my ADHD, we may or may not have some highlights of books on folklore vampires (mainly my complaints about them, but there are positive highlights).

ANYWAY LET'S GOO

17/07/2002 - 12:35 am

"I'm reading the vampire reports analysed by Augustin Calmet (a monk that lived around the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th and OH MY GOD MY BRAIN IS SCREAMING. It's too much information in a huge tangle. But the reports he collected ARE the materials that most classical vampire writers read.

I've previously read summaries of his work, not the book itself. I'm reading this free version: https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/29412 This log is my way of organizing all the info in a way that is useful to me.

17/07/2002 - 12:56 am

I'm reading a PT-BR version of the vampire reports, they start at page 243 of the Gutenberg ebook.

In case you don't know, Calmet's treatise is his way to give a Catholic Church perspective on what are essentially paranormal stories that were spread by magazines and newspapers as true. [It was written in 1745, a few years after the Vampiromania started in Europe (we will talk more about that later).]

He talks about ghosts, vampires, revenants, angels, demons and more. We will focus on the vampires.

17/07/2002 - 12:57 am

We start with the first (highly controversial) folk ethymology for "vampire" as a derivation of "oupire", both meaning "bloodsucker". They are classified here as a type of revenant, or "those who come back".

[You would THINK we know what the word "vampire" actually means and from which language it originally comes, by now, given how much interest there is on the topic, and you would be naïvely, DELICIOUSLY wrong.]

17/07/2002 - 12:58 am

Another cool fact he adds is that vampires only *sometimes* cause their victim's deaths. As for what causes the vampirism cases known at the time, he lists four possible things: 1 - nothing, it's just superstition; 2 - people buried alive [yikes]; 3 - dead people that God allowed to come back and haunt the living; 4 - Satan shenanigans

17/07/2002 - 12:59 am

I think cause 3 is cool, because when was it the last time you've read a story of a person that became a vampire because God Himself told them "no, no, they really screwed you over, go back and drink a couple liters of their blood to teach them a lesson"?

17/07/2002 - 1:05 am

Here Calmet enters a tangent about cases of actual ressurrections, Lazarus-style. I'm skipping that, it doesn't interest me. Let me get back to action on page 261, with M. Vassimont's case.

17/07/2002 - 1:13 am

Hahahahahaha oh my GOD this is my favourite case. So, the vampire is the ghost of a shepherd that sometimes appear as a man, sometimes, as a dog. He attacks people [not by drinking blood, but] by making them feel weak, and he also ties the tails of two or more cows together [because he is also a petty jerk, apparently].

So, when the peasants decide to stake him to pin him on the ground, he flat out LAUGHS at their faces. The corpse mocks them, saying that the stake is just a stick to shoo dogs, and keeps tormenting him until he is dragged out of the village and burned to ashes.

17/07/2002 - 1:22 am

I love so much the mental image of a group of peasants around the coffin, tired and soaked with blood after staking that jerk and he just keeps LAUGHING at their faces.

17/07/2002 - 1:28 am

Calmet keeps repeating the signals that a corpse is a vampire: its blood is still red and liquid, rosy faces and flesh that is soft, pliable and devoid of worms. And to illustrate it, he offers cases of people that didn't decomposed after death and how things around them sometimes move by themselves.

17/07/2002 - 1:29 am

It's interesting because the vampires in those reports are considered revenants, too, but they don't rise from their tombs and drink blood. Instead, they cause poltergeist phenomena in their former homes, throwing rocks and messing things around.

17/07/2002 - 1:37 am

Another case of vampirism. This time, the vampire appears to his son after his death and asks for dinner. The son feeds him and the old man disappear. The next day, he does the same. The next morning, the son dies. When they exhume the old man's corpse, it's *breathing*.

[TO BE CONTINUED...]

This was an eventful early morning. It was 5 months after the beginning of the quarantine and I my home office work didn't have official hours, so my sleep patterns had already gone to space at that point.

At this point, I think it's important to notice how vampires bring signs of life to the corpses they inhabit, and sometimes these signs not necessarily include the corpse moving around. I mean, for all his laughing around, the jerkish vampire shepherd above never did anyting to stop the stake or his own burning.

You will see so much more that sadly never made its way into fiction tomorrow. At the end, I'll make a summary of what was a vampire at that point, before the Germans muddled it all (yeah, the Germans, bet you didn expect it - although the French also had a hand on it). Stay tuned!

The Main Line Engine Shed Allocations ca. 1999

Tidmouth 29A (DAY):

Gordon

James (LMS 12557, built 1896 Horwich as Class 27, fully rebuilt to Class 28(m) 1914 with few original parts remaining and considers that his age).

Barry (2MT tender engine, since 1985)

Henry (formerly modified LBSCR H2 4-6-2 built 1914, rebuilt 1936 Crewe to Stanier 8F 2-8-0, since 1966; Vickerstown 1921-1928, Tidmouth Night [6 pm to 6 am] 1928-1966). Takes The Sudrian train on Saturdays and Sundays, except when needed elsewhere when Bear or James takes the train.

Francis (Webb Coal Engine)

William (Webb 18in Tank)

Bear

George (BR Class 23). Pure goods engine, often double-heads with Bear.

Tidmouth 29A (NIGHT):

Dorothy (Standard 7MT #70055, built Crewe 1954). Night shift express goods engine, runs a combined train from Tidmouth and Knapford's harbors to Lancaster (since privatization on 1 January 1995) and comes back with the returning train.

Ewan (LB&SCR I3 #32091, built Brighton 1913). Takes the nighttime express, Lunar Lunger, from Tidmouth to Barrow with one stop at Wellsworth. Train consists of only four coaches, a first class sleeper, an open restaurant car, and a brake open coach. The fourth is a refitted baggage coach to be less a rail post office and more a mail baggage van, with pre-sorted boxes stacked by where they're from and written with where they're going.

Christine (LSWR G16 4-8-0T). Does the coal, water, and oil run at night to make sure everyone's got all they need for the morning runs.

Lady Macbeth (GWR County class 4-4-0)

Ada (BR 10100)

Ian (BR Class 57). Backup engine for the Lunar Lunger. Sometimes does special fast-goods runs to Barrow.

Stephen (BR Class 37 split-headcode). Handy engine around the city. Go anywhere, do anything.

These engines don't have an assigned berth or track, they just go wherever.

Tidmouth Station Coach Shed 29B:

Jinty, day station pilot at Tidmouth

Ted (LMS 2F dock tank), day station pilot at Tidmouth

Jessie (Night station pilot, GNSR Y class 0-4-2T, built 1915). Originally bought as spare parts for Percy, but on inspection she worked just fine and was willing to do work, so was assigned station pilot duty at Tidmouth.

Vickerstown 29C:

Sarah (L&YR Class 23). Station pilot (day).

Michelle (L&YR Class 25). Station pilot and backup power (night).

Bowen (LNWR Prince of Wales 4-6-0, built 1917).

Bonneville (LMS Hughes 60-class 4-6-0, built 1926)

Janet (Midland Railway 115 class). Backup power.

Mayhew (GWR 4700 class).

Wellsworth 29D:

Pauline (GNR Class 1 4-2-2, built 1894), bought by the NWR from scrap in 1915 alongside her sister Emily to work the main line as it made its way from Tidmouth to first Maron and then Vickerstown; eventually both were displaced by Henry and later Gordon so found work pulling trains from Brendam to Wellsworth to connect with the Sudrian and later Wild Nor' Wester.

BoCo, Emily, or Edward occasionally sleeps here too. As Pauline's train is just three coaches, it sits fully assembled at all times in a third, much longer berth.

Ok ok so context about this, last year at december, my friends and I in our discord server "constellation collective" were doing a challenge called Constellation Impact, where basically we created self insert characters in the Genshin Impact universe (I will post about mine when I have a comic ready which will probably be months from now because I am bad at being consistent). Some of the people in that groupchat wanted to participate but had little idea what genshin was so I took it upon myself to make a short (57 slides) presentation that explains very surface level stuff that I thought would be useful for the character creation, thought sometimes I would get really into explaining stuff that in retrospect would be completely useless for the character creation. The idea was that I would present it on call (hence why there were so many "presenting Kyeterna take it away" tidbits)

Here is the link to the presentation

Mind you this was made in like november 2022 so it is not up to date with current lore (which is why I am not AS insane in the presentation about scaramouche)

Also uhhh I am not gonna maintag it because there is Keqing and Alhaitham hate in there I mean I am not a fan of their characters but because of an ongoing inside joke I am being overdramatic about how much I hate them

If you dont wanna bother with the presentation here is the most important slide that you must absolutely see

Nothing else matters
