I have noticed something when it comes to vampires bites in this book, or the concept of watching the vampire feeding itself. The book has said how the vampires feed, how the Weird Sisters feed, and how Dracula hunts his prey; however, so far, the actual act of biting and feeding is never described nor shown.

Jonathan sees the Count give the Weird Sisters a child, he hears it cry again and again, then everything goes silent as the horrifying implications hang over his head. Yet, there are no words for teeth sinking into flesh, of blood bubbling as it escapes the arteries, or pained expressions, the act that is so characteristic of vampires is... not seen in what is considered the Vampire Novel.

However, it fits, it fits a lot with how the gothic is constructed. We don't need to read how the Weird Sisters kill a baby in front of Jonathan's eyes, it doesn't need to be described because the implication, and the poiting towards what is happening away is far more terrifying. It creates a sense of helplessness that permeates everything around the biting. You can't save those children, they are already "dead" the second the Count grabbed them.

Weirdly enough, I thought that since Jonathan isn't being actively bitten in front of our eyes, then It could mean that the Count is not biting him to bide time with his new favorite "lady" before consuming him, but no.

He was either dead or asleep, I could not say which—for the eyes were open and stony, but without the glassiness of death—and the cheeks had the warmth of life through all their pallor; the lips were as red as ever.

The lapses of memory, the tiredness, the blurriness between what is real and what is not, Jonathan is suffering from these while he is slowly drained in moments that we don't even know about, but it happens. Dracula now has the warmth of life coursing through his body as Jonathan becomes weaker, his lips are red while Jonathan is more ghastly as the days go by.

I thought he might have the keys on him, but when I went to search I saw the dead eyes, and in them, dead though they were, such a look of hate, though unconscious of me or my presence, that I fled from the place, and leaving the Count's room by the window, crawled again up the castle wall.

The rage of the Count to see Jonathan try to escape once again despite the pure torture he has been subjected. How dare he keep fighting when his body gets weaker every day?

We may not see the bites happen since the aftermath of those bites is what is important. What the victim feels both physically, and mentally is the focus in the story; just because the bite is finished doesn't mean that the horror stops.

saw the wild robot yesterday with my daughter and my brother (hell ya to finding unused gift cards from 2-3 christmases ago /D) and ooh oohohohoho! So many thoughts! I can say what a ton of other people are saying and it's definitely been the first movie in a LONG time that I was actively excited for since I read the first 2 books years ago (and found out there's a third! asking it for christmas :] ) and I really recommend people watch it because HMM yes :]]]]

I will say something that was unintentionally funny that happened was *I* had a solid understanding of the Abundant Deaths. *I* knew what to more or less expect.

But my Brother? Nope. He never read them so didn't know what to expect at all. And my daughter hadn't either.. and I didn't think to warn them ahead of time..

(and uhh.. *Slight Spoilers*)

So when the scene with Roz accidentally killing Brightbill's parents showed up? Well..

Yeah.. my bad /D

I should've remembered how blindsided i was when i first read them and just all the Casual Deaths that happened all the time /D

...

But also, side note... fic idea :v

The Wild Robot / Abzú Plotbunny :V Roz makes new aquatic robot friend

always found this little parallel between how scott speaks about buddy cole vs danny husk fascinating:

(top quote is from this 2017 vulture interview, bottom quote is from paul myers' 2018 book "one dumb guy")

'he's smarter than me. braver than me. he's better than me'' vs ''danny may not be the smartest or the bravest but he's a very decent man''

was today’s match part of worlds or…

i guess in technically it’s not because it’s literally called “worlds qualifying series” and lolesports twt is still counting down the days to the official start but because of how it’s set up it feels like it should be worlds already and i would feel sad to leave them off my annual “favorite players at worlds” post

I’d just to say that I really like your pfp.

Aw, thank you!! I couldn't resist making it shortly after "Headless" finished airing and I think I've had it ever since (with a change of colour sometimes). I still love it.

This also reminds me that I made a (very small) handful of Headless and Greater Gatsby icons. I think I thought I'd make more but I might just post them if anyone's interested?
