#funeral charge

[currymanganese]

Girl, what? So wtf was the Alley Talk in Brigade, the Stock Talk in Sheridan, the Family Style-Two-Tops-Booths? Talk in Braciole, the Apartment Talk in Pasta and the Table Talk in Omelette??? Not to mention Syd and Carmy hugging it out post fire suppression test in Bolognese and staring lovingly into each other's eyes right in front of Marcus in Omelette?🤨

I regret to inform you of blasphemy, my lord

The place where I live, you have to pay for dying. It can be so expensive that entire grieving families are put into dept while trying to arrange the most simple funeral for their loved ones.

Greedy people profit off what should rightfully be only your domain and causing great distress for your faithful

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! INSULTING!!"

"Death is a natural process, something that happens to all of us, and will happen to the pigs that are responsible for this. It is a sacred ritual, to pray your last blessings to your loved ones!!"

"Imagine being told to pay money at a funeral? Outrageous... OUTRAGEOUS I SAY!!"

acowar au where the high lords were only able to resurrect the part of rhys’ power that makes him high lord and it searches for the closest vessel that has the same magic signature, feyre. there, now she’s an actual high lady, and not just in name. rhysie poo is gone for good. all is right with the world.

I know that it's not officially implemented yet, but I truly have not stopped thinking about the announcement that Australia's government is going to ban dynamic pricing in so many fields including concerts, sports, hotels and gyms all day and the way I hope it not only comes through quickly but has a ripple effect for every other country too.

I feel like the moral of Eowyn's and Pearl Took's story is that it is inadvisable for one family member to be singularly responsible for the caretaking of another.

[vickyvicarious]

why are you people hyping up jonathan harker he was fucking useless LMAOOOOOOO

just on the background while the doctors always did actual work and had insight and schemes and godalming and morris used their $$$

meanwhile he just fell on his knees crying I DEFY YOU STARS OH MY DOOMED LOVE

Oh, anon. I know I probably should just ignore you. However, I first of all find this ask very funny, and secondly you are giving me a golden opportunity to brag about my boy, here. I'm definitely gonna take it.

Behold - an incomplete list of things Jonathan Harker has done:

survived for months alone in Dracula's castle, maintaining a delicate balance of not rocking the boat too far and getting killed, but never giving up fully/seizing every chance to try and learn more or find a way out (letters, wall-climbing, etc.)

the only person to harm Dracula (shovel scar) and live (the only others were Renfield and Quincey, both of whom died the same day). the only person to hit him more than once (shovel, cut his coat open, sliced off his head). one of the two people who killed him (sliced off his head if you missed that one)

escaped by climbing down a castle wall and fleeing on foot through mountains full of wolves, without any warm clothes

was the person to recognize Dracula in London, and to direct the group to Carfax

did literally all of the footwork required to track down Dracula's boxes. began this task on his own without being given direction, and was well underway on it before even linking up with the others. (insight!)

bribery! lots of bribery! using his own inherited money at least part of the time ($$$!)

also, lied to/tricked various sources that he was either still Dracula's attorney, or utilized Arthur's status, to get information (schemes!)

suggested to a surprised Seward that Renfield may be reacting to Dracula and is "a sort of index to the coming and going of the Count." (insight!)

was van helsing's biggest primary source confirming what his research said about vampires, as seen in big speech day when he told everyone 'vampires do this (as seen in Jonathan's diary)' like five separate times

was the first to move to attack Dracula on October 3 (at his house not the asylum), galvanizing everyone else into action

um, kinda a big thing that he never considered his love doomed? like. yeah. willing to go to hell/become a vampire himself to stay with Mina. willing to doom everyone else for his love if necessary but never to give up on that. fell on his knees (I'll grant you) immediately... to comfort Mina when she felt unclean. set aside his immediate impulse towards revenge in order to comfort her first.

but also. very much willing to act to prevent such an outcome? urged everyone else to get on the move so he could go kill Dracula for everything he'd done?

nonetheless, didn't put his personal catharsis/revenge above the goal. was willing to take a backseat for the sake of success in the initial plan and just play guard rather than insisting on being the one to stake/behead him.

...honorable mention again for beheading him anyway in the end. Jonathan literally killed Dracula, bud. (fucking useful!)

I love all the main characters, and am not interested in devaluing anyone's contributions. The doctors are very smart (among other things) and important. Arthur and Quincey are very rich (among other things) and important. Mina, who you failed to mention, is extremely clever (among other things) and important as well. Jonathan, surprise surprise... is also all of those things!

And I love him. He's been my favorite character since my first time reading this book long ago. I (don't actually) regret to inform you that Dracula Daily has only increased that love, as well as vindicated it by seeing many other people agree that he's a great character really screwed over by adaptations, and thus even if I were generally inclined to feel upset about these kinds of messages, this'd still miss the mark. Rather, I thank you for the opportunity to reflect on some of the many ways Jonathan was an integral part of this vampire-hunting team.

I’m a week late, but what a beautiful sequence!

The perfect cut between past and present (and its mirroring the present-to-past cut that came before) is satisfying in its own right, but adding the beautiful look Himmel gave Frieren? Making the dim light bring their color pallets together? Chef’s kiss!

In my head and in my heart, there is a DS9 firefighter AU

I will be pecking at the AlanGaipa crumbs in tomorrow’s episode like a fucking chicken spared from slaughter because of the diner’s closure btw

"Though I don't know exactly what you are or what you're up to... My bullets will find you — until then, you best find a casket store in Penacony, and ask the owner to reserve a good quality casket for you, imposter!"

Hardly could get more Western film than this

[tamaharu]

'we could've helped [maddy]' and 'you know who killed laura? we did' like the deep crawling realization that it was ignorance - purposeful ignorance, looking away from it all - that killed laura and maddy. not stopping it and then, even further, letting leland go after he kills jacque, allowing him to later kill maddy. and its sooo. its sooo. theres a deep evil in twin peaks and they ignore it or the pretend to keep it in check all while it spirals out further and further and further and devours everyone whole.

[orcelito]

for songs that have to be listened to 5 months after a loss, rather than 5 days after a loss,

no wonder it didnt stick back then. this is a song for now.

[flowerakatsuka]

it's so funny that the sextuplets die and go to hell in s2 season finale hahaha... anyways, i've been thinking a lot of how mortality is a underlying theme with kuroba's character and how they're constantly forced to think about it with the work that they do and the losses they've experienced themself.

[rodismancave]
