What if the plant body hadn't worked out, and the Holy Mausoleum solution had actually taken a long time to sort of "fix" Shen Qingqiu's body and fully call his soul back to it, so that hundreds of years passed and civilization in PIDW/SV world progressed to the point of something like the "modern era"?
Imagine Luo Binghe trying to delicately introduce his shizun to such strange concepts as smart phones and credit cards, while Shen Qingqiu is just desperately trying to figure out how dumb he should play this. Would it be believable for him to get everything on the first try? There have to be some differences between what he knows and this world's versions, right, because of the demons and cultivators and things? Right?? But it's not like any of this actually IS difficult for him to grasp!
Luo Binghe: Shizun already discerned how to type using a keyboard...?
Shen Qingqiu, sweating bullets: what, like it's hard?
#bingqiu#svsss#scum villain's self saving system#scum villain#shen qingqiu desperately looking up pidw on binghe's phone#that novel doesn't exist thank goodness#though there are a LOT of historical novels and scholarly articles featuring his name and luo binghe's#maybe that stands to reason but why is it all... like that...?#he finds a particularly trashy modern retelling and can't put it down despite the number of upsetting things in it#so he just rips it apart in the comments section#airplane: cucumber bro??? you're finally back from the dead???#shen qingqiu: YOU!!!!

Featured Article: Rose Tyler
Today we are featuring Rose Tyler, the first companion of the 2005 reboot of Doctor Who.
Portrayed by Billie Piper, Rose was the first companion that many young fans met, and is also a teenager with a regular-girl background, which made her relatable and take on a special significance to lots of fans within the fandom.
Though some fans felt that Rose was portrayed as a Mary Sue, and disliked the focus the show had on her romantic attraction to the Doctor, she is also popularly shipped with multiple incarnations of the Doctor.
Have you enjoyed watching Billie Piper’s portrayal of Rose? Go check out the Fanlore page to learn about the fandom surrounding the character.

do you like becoming tumblr famous or is it scary
So far, it's pretty good. I get an astonishing number of asks, and I feel bad that I cannot answer or address them all, but other than that, practically everyone has been lovely so far.
I have a bit of an odd relationship with fame. For much of my childhood, I idolised people who were famous, and dreamt of one day being famous, too. As I grew up, I met or interacted with more and more famous people, and later even got to know some very well. When you see it up close, it is often not desirable at all. It is in fact a huge strain on these people. And that's something I think we often forget; these are just people. Just apes wearing silly scraps of fabric and worrying about their families and their health, just like everyone else.
And so, I have no real interest in being famous, tumblr or otherwise. But I do enjoy having a wonderful, large, and continuously growing audience who revel in and enjoy the weird and wonderful creatures that I spend so much of my time thinking about, working on, and pursuing. I hope that it continues to grow! As I say, you have all been really lovely so far, and I could not find a better community on any other platform—of that I am sure! 🐸

The Witch Caves of Zugarramurdi
During one of the biggest witch trials in Spain, there was one place that was thought to be more filled with witchcraft than others. In the so-called Witch Caves of Zugarramurdi in the Basque country, it was said that witches gathered for sabbaths.
During one of the biggest witch trials in Spain, there was one place that was thought to be more filled with witchcraft than others. In the so-called Witch Caves of Zugarramurdi in the Basque country, it was said that witches gathered for sabbaths and akellares. The witch hunt hit Europe hard, and Spain was no different. The Inquisition in Spain was brutal and perhaps one of the darkest chapters…

okay but I love how 3+ years later Louis’ crew are still talking about how much Live From London meant to them during lockdown 🥹
“Live From London was great because the crew and I really needed it. It gave us some much-needed work amid the lockdown, and all the proceeds went directly to the crew, which was an incredibly honourable thing to do. To come back out on the other side of lockdown was great. It was a dark time back then for everyone, but to be back out on tour surrounded by friends, who feel more like family, it’s special.”
— John Delf to TPI Magazine 2023 (published 5/1/24)
#the TPI article even uses it as the introduction to the feature#and how sweet is this?#quotes#john delf#about louis#live from london#tour family#lt crew#tpi magazine#2023#published:#05.01.24#m

While I very much do think Lestat is an extremely enjoyable/interesting/entertaining character (he's probably my least favorite in the show but that's entirely a me thing and it doesn't mean I dislike him he's just not a particular character type that tends to grab me!) I simply cannot imagine watching all of season 2 (which I personally enjoyed even more than season 1) and being like "this is really suffering from a lack of lestat". It just does not compute. My love for Louis and Claudia and Armand is simply so all encompassing that my brain just short circuits at the idea of watching them on screen and thinking "hmm this is fine I guess but what if lestat was here right now?"
And I am 100% looking forward to season 3 because I still do very much enjoy him as a character, and Louis and Armand and Daniel are still no doubt going to have solid roles even if it's a very Lestat focused season. But the thing that confuses and vexes me is when people (like a LOT of professional reviewers) act like he's THEE main draw and that the others simply aren't enough to hold the show up without him
#I personally tend to lean toward more like. subtle and quietly complex characters I guess?#that don't need to be loud and over the top to command attention#and I always kind of resent the implication that that's not enough to carry a story#again this is not dragging anyone whose favorite is lestat I completely understand!#It's just me mostly griping about professional reviewers and journalists acting like he's THE main appeal and driving force of the show#directly after a season he was barely in#interview with the vampire#also the number of articles/reviews that straight up don't even mention armand/assad??#when he's the second most featured character after louis in season 2???#HOW can you watch all of season 2 and not come away completely obsessed with him?#again this is all more griping about the press and promotion surrounding the show and not about the fandom#fans can do and say whatever the fuck they want because none of us are being paid and if someone's opinion annoys me I can just block/ignor

in which Roach co-invents peer-reviewed scientific literature
(can fix-it fics be written in the format of scientific journal articles? I have decided that yes, yes they can)
#my fics#ofmd fic#ofmd fanfic#i'm back at inventing(?) new fic concepts#if only publishing articles irl was this simple i would've had my phd yesterday#also please read the footnotes featuring roach's top surgery clinic

Scans of the Brazilian magazine "Set" from June 1998, with Tom Cruise on the cover. This issue, which celebrated the magazine's 11th anniversary, featured the 10 most powerful actors in Hollywood at that time: Cruise, Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, John Travolta, Jim Carrey, Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams and Nicolas Cage.
In addition, the magazine also features an article about Sean Connery, the movie City of Angels (which features an interview with Meg Ryan) and Kevin Costner acting in two consecutive career failures, Waterworld and The Postman (that I won't emphasize here).
BONUS:
(emphasizing "Fordruise" because they have my heart)

Featured Article: Dracula (1980 zine)
This week's Featured Article fits right in with spooky season, it's Dracula, the 1980 zine edited by Lori Chapek-Carleton.
The Dracula zine was focused mostly on the 1979 film "Dracula" starring Frank Langella, although other Draculas were also represented. It's an anthology that features a variety of fic and art, including a Star Wars crossover which was later nominated for a Fan Q award. Although it was intended to be an annual zine available every year around Halloween, only one issue was ever published.
Curious? Head over to Fanlore to find out more!

You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about
#i did look this up a few hours after i reblogged that post yesterday(? or was it the other day) I DO BELIEVE IT'S SHELLEY#if only for the fact that it was for most of a century being identified as LEIGH HUNT instead! yeah right#that is not leigh hunt in 1822#i recommend googling the uva library article about it. it shows the full portrait which the telegraph does not in its preview#and that one is also behind a paywall so i couldn't even reeeead it#thank you university of virginia <3#it is not slacking for information btw. there's a forthcoming article by the person who propisitioned that this is shelley#i look forward to it#percy shelley#art#william edward west#romanticism#portraits#sorry amelia curran. your painting is still better than i could do#but i am feral at the thought of having such a professional likeness#THAT IS A REAL MAN BEFORE US#with such believable and realistic features#i want to believe#i know without a proper title given by the painter we'll never really know#but i a million times will accept this is shelley before i accept that the cobbe portrait is shakespeare lol#whenever i see that being published as shakespeare im like. sir. that's clearly thomas overbury#chandos portrait stans rise#sorry i dont often post about it but i am obsessed with likenesses of famous ppl especially disputed ones#especially disputed ones before the innovation or proliferation of photography!!! cuz wow!!!!

this "Taking T for Jesus" article is about as wild as you might expect but also i want to meet this person's mom so much. what a fucking character. who is this person i must unpack your secrets
In many ways, my mom has always been an outlier insofar as notions of “biblical womanhood” are concerned. In her youth, before she became a believer, she swore, drank, smoked, chased frat boys, visited strip clubs for laughs, got divorced, worked as an early programmer, and ran a cat rescue. She didn’t like babies—except, she maintained, her own. She had no interest in joining the PTA or making cupcakes for bake sales or otherwise being, as she put it with a tremendous roll of her eyes, “Supermom.” Even after her conversion to evangelical Christianity, when she started studying the Bible for herself, she got my family kicked out of various churches—including the Southern Baptists—for arguing with the preachers about whether women could be pastors and whether prophesying and speaking in tongues were still possible for Christians today. Eventually she started her own church, where she continued to argue with men about whether God “called women to lead.” Going back to my grandmother, who raised my mom on her own in the 1940s and 1950s, and suffered foolish men not at all once she kicked my grandfather to the curb, none of the women in my family, myself very much included, are submissive or retiring or particularly strive to evoke the Madonna in any way. My mom is forceful, declarative, often more able to identify with the projects of men than the traditional home-and-hearth focus of women. In that sense, on reflection, it wasn’t so surprising that my mother would find her way to testosterone [. . .]
#(tbc the ppl featured in the article believe Jesus Wants You To Have Hormones (But Only If You're Cis)#so. y'know. cw transphobia. but what a fascinating combination of beliefs i want to study under a microscope)

"When I saw Pippin on Broadway… I recognized myself on the stage. I felt that choreography in my bones, and in my soul. I didn’t know who Bob Fosse was, I didn’t know that I was talking about god. I just knew that I had to do that.” - Bebe Neuwirth
#pretty person is pretty#bebe neuwirth#i went on playbill dot com to look up some things for marin mazzie and was treated to a massive banner for this featured article#feels right that it happened like that
