HHHELP MEEE OMFG?!?!

Me and my friend got that widgitable pet child thing to take care of, and we're both super forgetful ig because he always ends up a right state and I woke up one morning (after sleeping for 24hrs straight*) and

HE RAN AWAY???!!

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY COULD FO THAT SILLY IM SORRY COMR HOME

*this could possibly be a very core reason as to the fact our child ran away, considering I neglected him for a full 24 hours while I was snoozing, and the other parent is so busy with BG3 to check their phone regularly enough I guess

[struck-by-the-rain]

parents will see their own kids and be like "is anyone gonna be overly judgemental about that?" and not wait for an answer

[bitseventimes]

as ludicrous as it would be I'd love it if dnp announced they're having a kid just to see people bend over backwards to defend the concept of platonic friends n unconventional child sharing parenthood methods or whatever instead of just respecting that when someone says they wish to keep their relationship private it probably just means they're not hard launching via gay sex on instagram stories and that you're not forbidden to assume they're together until they officially introduce eachother as my romantic life partner with whom I regularly practice homosexual intercourse

On a slightly more serious note, I just wanna post this before the final entry, not counting the epilogue. I’m so, so thankful for Dracula Daily. It’s been an absolute blast beginning to end, reading discourse, seeing the jokes and memes and all the art, reading theories and reactions. And getting to be apart of that! Reading this book again in this format was a hell of an experience but the fact that I didn’t do it alone, I don’t know. We’ve all gotten to experience this book in a new way in real time together. I love that. And I hope that it won’t be just a one-off event, either. And even if it is? But this? It’s been wonderful. So, thank you to everyone for collectively going nuts over a 130 year old novel. Thank you for posting and making those artworks and memes and analyses. Reminds you you’re human and not stuck and alone.

It is interesting with Antoinette. I could see it being that Lestat genuinely had affection for her, even if he would certainly have killed her had Louis personally asked him to -- or it could be that she was just familiar, and he wanted the closest thing to intimacy he could get, so someone who knew him was better than someone who didn't. And the whole possibility that she reminded him of Gabrielle in some ways...

(x)

Yeah, I totally agree, anon.

I actually unfortunately suspect that Antoinette isn't a character the show will really come back to, and I think I'm one of three people that cares about that, haha, but where I tend to land on her relationship with Lestat is the fact that neither Lestat nor Louis actually have any friends.

That's not to say that I think Lestat and Antoinette were just friends, I don't, they obviously fucked a lot (which like, also comes down to the fact that Lestat doesn't know how to have friends he doesn't fuck, haha), but I do think the reality is that Lestat and Louis have very different racial and cultural contexts, hobbies and areas of interest which aren't things they can easily share with each other, especially not in early-1900s America, and I think that's a bigger factor in their relationship breakdown than either will admit to.

It's why Louis' able to reconnect with Jonah so quickly - they might be leading different lives, but they have more overlapping factors than they don't, whereas he and Lestat have less than they do - and for Lestat as a white theatre kid, he needs to be around other performers. I think with Antoinette, she's obviously a talented vocalist and an ambitious artist, and I can see that genuinely just being company that Lestat wants to be close with. They probably talk shit about crap theatre they've seen and do vocal runs together and fuck, and honestly for a part of Lestat, that would lowkey be a dream relationship, haha. Do I think they have a deep emotional connection? No, but given even Louis' willing to admit she's talented, and his own complex relationship with not succeeding as an artist, I wonder how much that factors in to his portrayal of her and his insecurities around their relationship (to say nothing of the fact that she's both white and a woman).

This feels like it's going on a hundred tangents, haha, but my point is maybe they'd step out on each other less or descend into unforessen levels of chaos and destruction if they both had a few friends they could talk about their identities and niche interests with!!

I don’t think I shared this yet but I want to! I came out to my dad a few weeks ago as trans! I told him that I wanna go by Xavier now, and (cause it’s pretty hard for the name thing, but pronouns are easier) he’s calling me X (we agreed on that nickname together). My sister has joined in on the X train.

We are seeing how long it takes until my mom catches on that I’m trans.

My mother refuses to watch any of the videos coming out of Palestine, and she refuses to read the details of the horrors happening there.

I tell her she has to - people are being slaughtered, we cannot look away even for a moment. She says she can't handle it. She says she'll break down, and then she'll be of no use to anybody.

Today she managed to raise £700 for Medical Aid Palestine, while I was too busy crying.

Maybe my mum still knows best.

for the past few days i've had the same few lines of Strange Frontier by roger taylor stuck in my head, which is mostly fine except for those lines being, y'know, the ones about an ever present threat of nuclear annihilation, and the fact that i often switch between humming the melody and singing the words quite at random. so i'll just be sitting here, absently humming to myself, and then "but there's nowhere you can run" *back to humming again*

[kaz-oooo]

I think i’m adding the word “doxxing” to the list of words drmstans aren’t allowed to use until the learn the actual meaning of them.

As far as I’m aware nobody has actually been doxxed after Tommy’s video.. like I’m sure there was a lot of in fighting and a couple people might move gotten a harassed and like, yeah, that’s shit! no one deserves that kind of treatment, but like.. just cos some people shared a screenshot of your public post on your public profile and had a laugh about it doesn’t mean you got doxxed.

My Favourite Episode Of:

Engine Sentai Go-Onger Grand Prix 25 ~ Goodbye Mother

[irritablepoe]

Little rant about my friend and consuming media lmao

Ok how do you consume media and still have NO IDEA who even the main character's name is? I recommended tma and bsd to a friend - well he started both. I ask him about it - like who his favourite character is or what he thinks of it - and he's so.... Confused almost? Like he just shrugged and said that he actually had no idea what was going on - which ok is kinda fair with bsd but like. you know the characters at least. Each one of them is introduced in some dramatic way, you can't MISS any of that and surely there's at least one character that gets your attention/that you relate to/that you find interesting. I mean ok maybe you forget the name or sth, but you at least remember the characters when I describe them to you, right? But no, my friend had no idea who for example Dazai was - DAZAI?! Like. What???? Or Atsushi.. the fucking main character???? Or chuuya???? Or - anyone??? I was so perplexed. How can you watch something and still have no idea about what you're watching?

The same happened with tma. I recommended it, he listened to the first few episodes. I asked him what he thought of Jon. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO JON WAS I MEAN WHAT???? Oh idk he's just the guy reading the fucking statements. Before every statement he says "audio recording by Jonathan Sims" like how can you... miss that?

Idk, am I just consuming media so intensely or is he just... I don't even know.... Disinterested in engaging with the media one is consuming? It's not even that he doesn't like it. I asked him and he said it was good. But what exactly does he find good when he has no idea about. like. anything.

Hey guys maybe if you have an issue with the way your housemate has cleaned something or left a bit of a mess maybe don't clean it up and then tell them a whole day after instead of just. You know. Asking your housemate who is literally in the next room to just clean it up
