Does anyone know of vampire media using it as a metaphor for disability and chronic illness? Writing a vampire story and I'd like to see what else has been done that's similar.

Can't believe the Robin Lives ending.

I'm not even a Jason Todd fan. To those who are I'm so sorry. They butchered him even more than they usually do.

And what is WITH DC and making Dick be Batman-

rewatching s1 meljay scenes just to feel something and while I want to do an analysis of their relationship to argue against every bonehead that touts "mel manipulated jayce" I got to the end where jayce tells the council to go fuck themselves BUT THEN POINTEDLY TURNS TO MEL AND SOFTLY SAYS "Except you. You were right. You were always right." And I CRY OKAY. Her eyes widen and it sinks in that there's someone who supports the same vision of peace she has, who VALIDATES her views. And one of the LAST scenes is them smiling at one another when the council agrees to Zaun's independence. They made peace without going to war. Without using hextech and corrupting jayce and viktor's dream. Without compromising mel's values.

And then s2 fucked that all up.

"unalive" should just mean the opposite of undead. if undead means a dead thing thats alive, unalive shuld mean an alive things thats dead. no i dont have any examples. ☝️yet

The best part of theater/acting is when everyone's in costume but you're between scenes and just hanging out. To your left you have Mary O'Flanagan, all dressed up in her Sunday best. Next to her is the demon of Hell, Beelzebub, blood coming out of their mouth and eyes black as pitch. They're chatting about Pokemon

Okay, so do vampires drink from arteries or veins or both? Asking for a friend.

Let me just say. If you were at any point in your life a theater kid, that shit will be with you for the rest of forever. I had to give a presentation to the entire marketing team today and the second they put me at that podium in front of a crowd I was immediately possessed by the soul of my 10 year old self and boy did I put on a show

Does anyone know the artist behind those beast man drawings that were popular a while back?

It was somewhat unsettling art about a fantasy world with animal-human hybrids(?) That had both human and animal features but weren't fully sentient. I remember in particular a camel-man with a human face and bird-people who I think had beak-mouths and hand-talons.

Edit: humans existed alongside the beastmen. Descriptions written in another language (possibly Japanese?) accompanied the art, and an English translation was provided in plain text at the bottom. Most of the animal people would look at first glance mostly normal, but when you looked closer they would have the human features. It may have been crossposted from the artist's twitter.

Edit 2: found it! The artist is suzumori521 on here.

the best thing about going through old posts from 2012 is remembering how people on tumblr and the internet in general back then spoke EVERY other WORD in CAPS LOCK while reacting to things they vaguely liked as if oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!! while PUNCTUATING THEIR SENTENCES with EXCLAMATIONS!!! but never splitting apart sentences word by word with them as we do more often now and instead

Mark Immortell, to The Bachelor in the post-Diurnal ending: Yeah, I'm kinda done with the "being a pretentious little bitch for narrative reasons" thing now, sorry about all that. But I'm casting for our community production of Twelfth Night and I think you'd make a good Malvolio. Interested?

She was like a hound — with a bark so much louder than her bite that the bark was the real weapon.

Characters being compared to dogs always use terriers or pitbulls or something for their metaphors. “They grab on and they don’t let go” “They keep worrying at it until it’s dead” etc.

Anyway, I want to see collies used as metaphors. Albert Payson Terhune style. “He was like an attack dog–making slash-and-run attacks, cutting them up worse every time, never staying in range long enough to get hurt but circling back over and over.”
