#Badass professor

I can finally mark Dracula off my reading list. It was an okay read. In my opinion, the format of it being told through journal and diaries entries, and newspapers articles made it a bit of a slow read. It was different than what I'm used to reading.

Jonathan Harker and Mina were the best couple of this book. Smarts and courage all around. Their kid is going to be something else with those genes.

Dr. Stewart was a cool guy. A bit dramatic, but I'll give him a pass because he was grieving for Lucy for most of the book. Also a bit stupid to not tell anybody about the fang holes on Lucy's neck. That probably could've saved her a bit earlier.

As for Arthur, can't say much of him. He was an okay guy.

Morris did not deserve an ending like that. I was expecting him to fight Dracula, to be honest, but instead we got that ending for him. What the heck?

And Van Helsing...Dude could ramble like nobody else. But his intelligence was proved throughout the book. If he were younger, could probably see him being badass like the film adaptations view him as.

Now on to my rants. Warning, some spoilers for those who haven't read the book yet.

How the heck did they not make the connection to the bat that Morris shot at with Dracula after they just went over discussing him and his powers? I figured that would be a big clue that Dracula was about to make a move on Mina or spy on them. It took a mentally insane patient to tell them the big reveal about Dracula getting to Mina for them to figure it out.

Also, Mina, a kind of stupid move not to tell anybody about the nightmares or fog Dracula visiting you at night. Pretty sure that's also important because of the situation they were in.

Lastly, Dracula could've gone to any other woman instead of Mina to get his blood. Because they did not have security measures around and would've been vulnerable to his influence. I know he could have because he was eyeing another young woman when Johnathan saw him in the city. If he had, they probably wouldn't have caught on to him so fast. Or maybe they would have. I don't know. But it would've been a good distraction from Dracula.

All in all, the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Expecting a fight between Dracula and the group, but they killed him with a sliver of close call. Probably for the best. They would've gotten killed if Dracula woke up fully.

A badass Cyclops/Scott Summers by Pepe Larraz (2020).

[alluraaaa]

When the paladins touched down on Earth, it quickly became Reunion Central. Not that Keith has a problem with it, he’s just unsure of how to approach it. He doesn’t exactly have anyone to return to.

However, he doesn’t have to think about that, the decision is made for him.

He’s pulled into many a meeting of the family, given introductions he immediately forgets and hearing stories about himself. Hunk, Pidge, and Lance are thrilled to show their first families their second one. Keith, Allura, Coran, and Romelle are passed around like trading cards to the tune of “These are my parents!”

Though Keith will admit he’s avoiding Lance’s family. Nothing against them personally, it’s just… there’s so many of them, and they’re all as touchy feely as Lance. He appreciates a good group hug from the team, but it’d be different with people he’s only heard stories about.

Luckily, he’s saved from a social interaction he doesn’t want to participate in yet.

“Keith. Akira. Kogane.”

Unluckily, it’s replaced by a less favorable one.

Keith stiffens, staring but unseeing at Hunk’s grandmother. She, and the rest of the Garretts, turn to the source of the full name yelled across the way. Keith… doesn’t. He stares at the ground, unable to hide his grimace as he hears boots marching towards him.

Someone please put him back into a magic robo-cat that shoots lasers. He’d gladly get into a space fight than talk to him.

“Where the hell did you go!?” he asks, grabbing Keith by the shoulder and turning him around. Keith stares up into brown eyes covered by glasses, rage in those irises. Behind his head, Shiro is sending him a sympathetic smile, unable to stop his fiancé once on the warpath.

“Your brother goes missing and you think the best reaction is to do the same!?” Adam all but screeches.

“Hi Adam,” Keith manages. He missed him, he really did, but he also 100% knew this was coming.

“Don’t Hi Adam me, young man! Where did you go? Do you know how much I was looking for you? I was so worried! And you didn’t even say anything, you just left! Right after I get told my fiancé is dead!”

“Sorry.”

“You’re not sorry and we both know that.”

“Yeah…”

Adam sighs, like this is the biggest problem he has right now, and pulls Keith into a tight embrace. But not too tight. He still remembers how Keith likes his hugs. Keith hugs back.

He’s just as warm as Keith remembers him, and he still smells the same, like vanilla and cinnamon. It’s moments like these where Keith gets why Shiro fell in love with him.

“You’re grounded, by the way.”

“What!?”

You know it is funny how they decided to make it that Descole, this mysterious cool guy, is in reality, this loser archaeology nerd who thinks he’s cool but isn’t really

Like he’s just some guy. I find that funny

Professor Pericles Appreciation Post

Never would you think one of the most chillingly frightening villains in all of animated TV history would be a parrot, much less one who's a Scooby Doo villain, until you actually meet the guy. Good. GOD.

Hi, I'm Barbie!

I can't remember much of my life before now, but that's okay! I made a whole bunch of new friends, and they're here to help me find out who I am. Murdering with friends is so much fun!

I have mods and cannot be stopped. Here's my newest take on our Origin Companions:

Okay I was going to do Illusory Forest post *after* finishing the book but oh my gosh look at this

WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF CONVERSATION IN A GAME???

The two of them actually saying concerns they have and reassuring each other! And the concerns make perfect sense!

*Of course* Layton would be worried about whether or not he can keep someone important to him safe, and *of course* Luke is worried he's holding the Professor back (especially keeping stuff from the Phantom Diety in mind).

And LAYTON IS SAYING THAT LUKE IS HIS APPRENTICE HERE!

I love these two so much. The character writing in this insane book brings me so much joy.

Thinking about how in my mid 20s I would just go places by myself, just an alt bitch with a pack of smokes and a hand-me-down beatup pos ipod that stopped working when it got too humid. I'd even go places in the dark. Go to clubs by myself, go dancing, go drink. Sometimes I'd get a little spooked because I mean... dark. but I used to repeat to myself the stupidest shit.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil because I'm the baddest bitch in the valley
