Government & Gardens? Look no further than Wallenstein Palace in Prague
The Solo Scale: Explore at your leisure and enjoy with no worries about being on your own! The summer is ideal as you can get lost in the gardens (and there is more flexibility in being able to visit). In the shadow of the well-known Prague Castle sits a much lesser-known attraction that still boasts its own impressive connection to the capital, terracotta tiles, and gorgeous gardens — plus,…

juliana_rychlikova: thanksgiving with vampire fam ❤️ (2023)
source: pixielayer and jandythinker (Note: Juliana Rychlikova have her IG account private so i dont know how the fandom got this photo. maybe she privated the account after the fandom found the photos/videos yesterday)
It seems they celebrated Thanksgiving at Jacob’s house in Prague
Photos via Jacob Anderson IG
Screenshots: funtheysaid, lesbratprince and pixielayer
#jam reiderson#jacob anderson#sam reid#delainey hayles#eric bogosian#assad zaman#interview with the vampire#quoting tweets i found#Can’t help but think how much Jam/cast content is just sitting in people’s phones 😵💫#can we count this as a jam selfie?#i think it’s sooo cute that they celebrated at jacob’s house which naturally means sam stayed after everyone else left#ofc it's jacob slicing the food and sam taking the photo😌#jacob properly standing there like he was the only one sam was meant to take a pic of and everyone else just joined in last minute 😭😭👀😌😭😭#Sam cutting Delainey out of the photo so Jacob could appear more. Life imitating art bc that is so Lestat of him#A bunch of Brits and an Australian celebrating thanksgiving 🤣 this was eric idea for sure#my tags#i already had to block people over this on tw bc#i already saw people saying that jacob wife and his kid was in Prague the whole time with him & they are there but hiding from the pict 😤#sure honey 🙄 And that is why he was having dinner with Sam every single night at the same restaurant instead of dinner w/ her#you guys must think she is unemployed or smth 🤦#she probably came once in a while just so that he could see the kid#but i doubt that she was staying there as if she have nothing else to do besides following him around#but then jammers are the delusional ones here#anyway i was really confused why they was celebrating Thanksgiving when that is in October and they started filming on April 3 2023#but then i remembered they was forced to take a break bc of the actors strike in the summer#so the shooting must had gotten dragged on by a few months when they was meant to wrap things up at the end of summer

Merry Christmas Squid!
@gaydragonwizards You said you wanted any story I wrote to feature Beckett, and then later added that it could also involve your OC Arianna (in her Malkavian VTMB Fledgling form, obviously) and that you'd prefer it to be chill. So here's something with Beckett and Arianna hanging around the Rodriguez house, having a spontaneous muse about their adopted sire/childe relationship. :) Hope you like!
--
“You know, I never really considered myself ‘father’ material before I met you.”
Arianna blinked, looking up from her book. “That – came out of nowhere,” she commented, raising an eyebrow at Beckett as he hovered near her chair.
“I suppose it did,” Beckett allowed with a chuckle. “My apologies – unfortunately for you, it appears I am feeling sentimental this evening.” He glanced left and right. “Perhaps because Melody isn’t around to spray paint me out of my mood.”
Arianna snorted. “They don’t tolerate mushiness well, no,” she agreed, setting her book down and turning to face him properly. “But neither do you, most of the time. What brought this bout on?”
“I’m honestly not sure,” Beckett admitted, leaning on the back of the chair. “Perhaps the phase of the moon is tugging at my humors, imbalancing them in favor of the phlegmatic. Perhaps the blood I feasted on earlier tonight had a maudlin taste to it.” He smiled. “Or perhaps I just looked at you and thought, ‘why would she ever want me as a father figure?’ Which then led to ‘well, since when have I ever wanted to be a father figure?’ Which led to my comment in your general direction, and that to here.”
“I see.” Arianna smiled back at him. “Well, if you want an answer to that first question, it’s pretty simple, honestly – you were one of only a handful of Kindred who was consistently nice to me. I mean, you were also deeply sarcastic, yes, but...you also seemed to enjoy talking to me. Asking me questions and actually listening to my responses. I felt like almost nobody listened to me when I first got dragged into this life. And I really appreciated that you actually came with me to sort out what happened to your friend Scott, instead of just leaving it all on my head.” She grimaced. “I would not have enjoyed taking on that Lasombra hiding out beneath the library alone.”
“Frankly, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it either,” Beckett said, grimacing. “Lasombras are not to be trifled with – my occasional traveling companion Lucita is an absolute terror when she’s enraged. I wish she’d been with us when we were fighting that would-be cult leader. She would have made short work of him. And probably lectured us for getting in over our heads in the bargain.” He shook his head. “And while my friends would happily bend your ear for hours telling you all the ways I’ve nearly gotten myself killed, I didn’t want you to get killed by whatever we found. While I’ve always been impressed by your ingenuity and ability to get things done, I was well aware you were still only a fledgling. And one without a sire to help smooth the transition, thanks to Sebastian and his beheading-happy ways.”
Arianna chuckled faintly. “I know...though given how I was Embraced, I doubt he would have been much of a sire,” she added with a scowl. “I just consider myself really lucky that Bertram Tung was willing to share what he knew about the clans and the sects. And that Annabella was waiting for me when I was finally allowed back Downtown. And that I stumbled across Alice and Victor pretty early in my unlife. I’m not sure I would have gotten as far as I did without Alice watching my back at a few key moments. And don’t even ask how I could have gotten the sarcophagus back from the Giovanni without the Hawkes and that one friendly mage giving me a hand there.”
“Oh, I’m sure it’s not as bad as all that – you would have figured out something,” Beckett said, smirking. “After all – your neck was literally on the line at that moment.”
“Don’t remind me,” Arianna muttered, rubbing her neck. “And I don’t think any plan I had to execute on my own would have gone nearly as well. The point is, I did a lot better with help than on my own, and you being willing to help me out – multiple times – really endeared you to me.” She smirked back at him. “Granted, I don’t know if your sense of humor helped or hurt.”
“I’ll have you know that I’m the funniest Kindred within miles,” Beckett replied with a grin. “But if I must be serious, I was happy to help you – and not just because I too was eager to get a look at that sarcophagus and figure out what was inside. I simply – liked you. I knew how it felt to be thrown so suddenly into this world without the slightest idea what had happened – thank you so much, Gangrel Embrace traditions,” he muttered. “And I knew how it felt to have someone find you and take you under their wing. Not to mention, the way you looked so horrified about facing Sebastian all on your own after the museum...I couldn’t help but feel at least vaguely protective of you. Enough to help vouch for you. And then our paths kept crossing, and as I got to know you more, I got to like you more. Until...” He waved a hand to encompass the room. “Here we are.”
“Here we are,” Arianna agreed, tone warm. “And I like where we’ve ended up.”
Beckett smiled and nodded. “I do as well.”
#gaydragonwizards#merry xmas#christmas fic#xmas fic#vtmb#beckett#arianna#yeah after you said that perhaps the fic could involve Arianna#and that you'd prefer something on the chill side#first thing I thought of was them talking about their relationship#felt appropriate#though I was surprised to discover while doing a little research for this fic#that Beckett has sired TWICE#I knew about the Mistake That Is Marie#but apparently he also sired Custos#a dude who was late Victorian aristocracy and went with Beckett on an expedition#where Beckett Embraced him#his current status is as the Keeper of Elysium for the Camarilla in Prague#neat stuff#but I don't know how fatherly Beckett ever felt toward him#whereas he definitely has quite the soft spot for Arianna#as you well know :p#(for the uninitiated Beckett himself has an adopted sire: Aristotle de Laurent a Malkavian#their relationship is a little more fraught but#it DOES feel amusingly full-circle for Beckett to thus adopt a Malkavian fledgling XD)#queued

PRZEWODNIK PO CZECHACH
WARTO ZWRÓCIĆ UWAGĘ:
• Najlepszy czas na wizytę w tym kraju jest pomiędzy kwietniem, a październikiem. Jednakże Czechy w zimowym wydaniu, także mają swój niesamowity klimat.
• Na terenie Czech nie obowiązuje zakaz handlu w niedziele, dlatego w większości, sklepy będą wtedy otwarte.
• Zwiedzać, polecam popołudniami, ponieważ wtedy temperatura jest najprzyjemniejsza, jest dużo mniej ludzi, a także wiele atrakcji oraz parkingów jest darmowych po godzinie 17:00.
• Komunikacja miejska (szczególnie w Pradze) jest bardzo rozwinięta, co daje możliwość poruszania się nią praktycznie wszędzie.
• Język angielski jest tam powszechnie znany, jednak fajnie, jeśli nauczysz się kilku podstawowych wyrażeń w języku czeskim.
• Noś ze sobą gotówkę (najlepiej korony czeskie), ponieważ być może, będziesz chciał kupić sobie pamiątkę lub zjeść coś na mieście, a niestety często, płatność kartą w takich miejscach jest niemożliwa.
• Jeśli chcesz zaoszczędzić pieniądze, to płać w koronach (najlepiej wymień je jeszcze w Polsce, ponieważ w większości kantorów w Czechach pobierane jest nawet do 30% prowizji za wymianę waluty). Dodatkowo, jeśli płacisz euro, to Czesi przeliczają je bardzo nieopłacalnym kursem (przeważnie dużo gorszym niż w Polsce), przez co możesz stracić mnóstwo pieniędzy. Dlatego warto płacić wcześniej wymienionymi koronami czeskimi.
• Mimo tego, że atrakcje, które tutaj Ci przedstawię, są stosunkowo blisko siebie, to wierz mi, trochę się nachodzisz. Dlatego zadbaj o wygodne obuwie.
NAJLEPSZE RZECZY DO ZROBIENIA:
• Przejdź się Mostem Karola podczas zachodu słońca i nocą
Most Karola zlokalizowany jest w samym sercu Pragi. Łączy on Stare Miasto z dzielnicą Mala Strana.
Przechadzając się nim można napawać się wspaniałym widokiem na Wełtawę, a także podziwiać artystów i ich sztukę. Obowiązkowym elementem spaceru Mostem Karola, jest dotknięcie figury św. Jana Nepomucena, co według legendy, przynosi szczęście.
Warto przejść się tym mostem podczas zachodu, nocą, a nawet za dnia, ponieważ czuć wtedy zupełnie inny klimat.
• Wybierz się na rejs po Wełtawie
Jeśli nie kupiłeś wcześniej biletów w internecie, to wystarczy, że udasz się pod bramę, prowadzącą na Most Karola, a po chwili zobaczysz, stojących nieopodal, marynarzy, którzy zapraszają na rejsy.
Ja płynęłam 45-minutowym historycznym rejsem. Tradycyjną łodzią, z poczęstunkiem i z audioprzewodnikiem w dziewiętnastu językach (również w języku polskim).
Podczas płynięcia łódką, można zobaczyć Pragę od innej strony, a także poznać jej historię. Zdecydowanie warto.
• Podziwiaj Praski zegar astronomiczny o pełnej godzinie
Praski zegar astronomiczny znajduje się na południowej ścianie Ratusza Staromiejskiego. Tak samo jak Most Karola, jest symbolem Pragi.
Co godzinę, o pełnej godzinie, można zobaczyć jak wybija zegar i maszerują mechaniczne figury.
Warto zobaczyć to zjawisko, ponieważ druga taka okazja może nadarzyć się dopiero w Korei Południowej. Jest to jedyny kraj, w którym znajduje się dokładna replika tego zegara.
• Zajrzyj do niekończącej się wieży z książek
Przy wejściu do Praskiej Biblioteki Miejskiej znajduje się imponująca, około 5 metrowa wieża z książek. Do jej budowy wykorzystano 8 tysięcy książek.
Zaglądając do środka konstrukcji, można odnieść wrażenie (przez lustra zamontowane na górze i na dole), jakby wieża nie miała końca. Po przyjrzeniu się jej, można zajrzeć do pięknej biblioteki, tuż za wieżą.
Warto zobaczyć to dzieło sztuki, zwłaszcza, że nie ma żadnej opłaty za wstęp.
• Zwiedź Klementinum
W centrum Pragi znajduje się dawne kolegium jezuickie, w stylu barokowym.
Zwiedzanie tego miejsca odbywa się z przewodnikiem i trwa około 50 minut. W tym czasie można poznać historię tego budynku, zajrzeć do jednej z najpiękniejszych bibliotek w Europie, a także wejść na punkt widokowy (po schodach o nachyleniu 87 stopni), mieszczący się w wieży astronomicznej, na wysokości 68 metrów.
Z początku byłam sceptycznie nastawiona do tej atrakcji, ale okazała się naprawdę świetna. Polecam kupić bilety na jedną z ostatnich tur, ponieważ uważam, że to właśnie wtedy, widoki z wieży są najbardziej magiczne (które swoją drogą, totalnie mnie urzekły i uważam, że jest to punkt z najpiękniejszym widokiem w całych Czechach).
• Zobacz Tańczący Dom
Na prawym brzegu Wełtawy znajduje się pewien budynek, nazywany Tańczącym Domem. Dzięki temu, że jest to rzucający się w oczy budynek i dodatkowo stoi w dość reprezentatywnym miejscu, jest duże prawdopodobieństwo, że zauważysz go bez dłuższych poszukiwań.
Dzięki najnowszym technikom architektonicznym, można zaobserwować, zniekształcający perspektywę kształt budynku. Na samej górze domu, znajduje się bar oraz punkt widokowy z panoramicznym widokiem na Wełtawę i Zamek Praski.
Nawet jeśli ma być to tylko przejazd obok niego, to naprawdę warto.
• Zobacz obrót głowy Franza Kafki
Obrotowa głowa Franza Kafki znajduje się w często uczęszczanym miejscu, tuż przy centrum handlowym, na dzielnicy Nowe Miasto.
Dwa razy na godzinę, można zobaczyć obracającą się 45 tonową, lustrzaną rzeźbę. Tuż obok, w centrum handlowym, znajduje się miniatura głowy.
Polecam zobaczyć pokaz wieczorem. Osobiście uważam, że to właśnie wtedy głowa robi największe wrażenie.
• Udaj się na Plac Wacława i przejdź się deptakiem
Najważniejszy plac w Czechach, czyli Plac Wacława, znajduje się w centrum Pragi (niedaleko obrotowej głowy Franza Kafki).
Będąc w tym miejscu można zobaczyć historyczne miejsce kultu, zjeść coś pysznego (do wyboru jest naprawdę wiele restauracji i kawiarni) oraz podziwiać piękno kamienic, podczas spaceru deptakiem.
Warto udać się w to miejsce, również ze względu na to, że jest ono potocznie nazywane "Praską Piotrkowską" (ulica Piotrkowska znajduje się w Łodzi i posiada najdłuższy deptak w Polsce).
• Zwiedź Hradczany
Hradczany, to obszar, zwany też królewską dzielnicą, leżący po lewej stronie Wełtawy. Leży tam największy kompleks zamkowy na świecie.
Wybierając się tam, polecam: zobaczyć monumentalną Katedrę Św. Wita, przejść się Złotą Uliczką, spojrzeć na Stary Pałac Królewski, a także podziwiać panoramę Pragi z tarasu widokowego przy ulicy Ke Hradu, obok Pałacu Schwarzenbergów oraz Schodów Zamkowych.
Ja nie zwiedzałam tych zabytków w środku i nie żałuję, ponieważ samo przechadzanie się wokół, zrobiło na mnie przeogromne wrażenie. Jeśli udasz się w to miejsce po godzinie 17, to unikniesz tłumów turystów, a także bezpłatnie wejdziesz na Złotą Uliczkę.
• Wjedź kolejką na Wzgórze Petrin
Również po lewej stronie Wełtawy, leży, pełne atrakcji, Wzgórze Petrin.
Na szczyt polecam wjechać kolejką linową. Na górze, można przespacerować się licznymi trasami spacerowymi, odwiedzić zapierające dech w piersiach ogrody, a także wejść na Wieżę Petrin i podziwiać przepiękne widoki z najwyższego punktu widokowego w Pradze (wieża ma 66 metrów i leży na 130 metrowym wzgórzu). Wieża Petrin została zbudowana na wzór paryskiej wieży Eiffla. Aby znaleźć się na najwyższym punkcie widokowym, należy pokonać 299 schodów. Zejść polecam zdecydowanie na pieszo. Nie pożałujesz.
Nie ukrywam, że jest to jedna z moich ulubionych atrakcji w Pradze. Gorąco polecam to miejsce.
• Namaluj graffiti na Ścianie Johna Lennona
W dzielnicy Mala Strana, znajduje się słynna ściana Johna Lennona.
Ściana jest zapełniona przepięknymi graffiti, którymi można nacieszyć oczy. Za pomocą farby w sprayu, można namalować własne dzieło. Po lewej stronie muralu, znajduje się wejście do ogrodu oraz sklep (jego wnętrze wygląda cudnie), w którym można znaleźć akcesoria związane z Johnem Lennonem i jego ścianą.
Nie spodziewałam się, że namalowanie graffiti, sprawi mi tyle frajdy. Gorąco zachęcam, do stworzenia własnego (jeśli nie zaopatrzyłeś się w farbę w sprayu, to w sklepiku, możesz kupić specjalną naklejkę i przykleić ją na mural.
Mam nadzieję, że była to wartościowa publikacja i Twoja wycieczka do Czech będzie niesamowita.
Zapraszam na moje media społecznościowe po więcej takich treści.
Xoxo, dvarkocean

Heartbreaking: This German almost died bc they had to manually select Germany as their location on a German-language website, bc the default was Switzerland or Austria bc that's where the company is from
#jk but also I am always like. surprised by how surprised I am when this happens#like ok swing kitchen I get it you're fancy and from vienna however *I* wanted to order from your new store location#which you didn't let me do anyways bc you're a lying fucking bitch! >:c#I just wanna know how much their fucking burgers cost 🥲#I genuinely can't remember the last time I came across an instance of like. mindlessly browsing the web and reaching a moment#of like 'oh right Austria exists'#I mean it happens a lot with like seeing czech people talk about stuff related to the German language#which is so funny like earlier today I read an article by some radio in prague idk it was like an international intercultural thing#and it was an article in relation to a czech learning program they have for German speakers#and it was about like how to say where you're from etc. I was looking it up bc I needed the name of the castle that#'Rakousko' comes from. But like even having actively searched for the etymology of the czech word for Austria I had a short moment of like#'ah yeah Austria exists'. I think it might've even had it as the first option which would've been stunning!#Sometimes I feel like Austria is more relevant to the Czech Republic than it is to Germany#Jesus Christ we're terrible neighbours I understand why they hate us#Especially like watching Austrian broadcasts it's like. I get the feeling that Germany does get mentioned quite a bit more#than the other way around even on mundane topics#The dynamic is very much 'I hate you' - 'I don't think about you at all'

My struggle has never consisted to not knowing who I am. I suffer because I know who I am and what I want and what I enjoy, and I am crippled by that certainty. I cannot take action. Every night, I fall asleep unimaginably guilty for not participating in anything I have chosen to love.
#personal#text#txt#I love cinema and watching films makes me very happy and fulfilled but I don't watch films#I love going to museums and I moved to Prague and I got a membership so I can go whenever I want#in three months I have gone once#I love going to the library and the study rooms are stunning but I wake up and don't go because I get anxiety about it for no reason#I love to read and I have chosen to pursue it in uni but I rarely read for pleasure#I love what I study and I love theory and I love putting it all together in my head like a puzzle but I don't do it unless I have to#I love to dance and I have dreamt of ballet for a decade now but I psyche myself out of it#I want to write but the moment I sit down I can't get a word out most of the time#I feel like I have found so many things that make me genuinely happy#but there's something in my head that won't allow me to enjoy them#and I don't know why

technically I have serious thoughts abt the themes in two's destination prague stories but every time I think about them my brain turns to mush. 'you promised me two weeks on a mountainside'. god. gay people.
#personal#please nobody ever make a correlation graph between me thinking abt destination prague & me yearning on a personal level#it WILL be correlated it WILL be embarrassing thanks#but like i do think both stories fit in very interesting ways with two processing grief#& coming to terms with the mortality of others. having to face loss head-on rather than pretending it doesn't exist.#and also jamie's ability to act as an emotional anchor for him and make him do the hard but right thing in facing up to loss#it all just gets washed away by the fact that two promising a mountain holiday getaway to jamie is officially licensed content

Every time I go anywhere my coworkers tell me about fifteen other places in that area that I simply MUST visit, and get annoyed when I don't. I spent a weekend in Scotland and they were genuinely pissy that I did not visit Skye or the Hebrides. I did not have a car. I was in Glasgow for two days. What the fuck was I supposed to do??
#i was in Prague for a couple days too and they're all telling me these obscure Czech towns#and they're beautiful towns. and they got irritated that i just stayed in the city#i simply do not understand why they think these things are possible

Travel Guide to Czechia: Your Ultimate Travel Companion

Once a part of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century, it became the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1198. Throughout history, the region has seen periods of prosperity and turbulence, particularly under Habsburg rule during the Holy Roman Empire. Czechia was part of Czechoslovakia from…

spicy cat in for an ultrasound today, originally to check on her bladder because she's got a history of cystitis and urolithiasis; found the funkiest gallbladder I've seen so far instead
coworker, commenting dryly: "oh so that's why she was so bilious"
#the whole thing was clearly going on for a while already#it was bordering on art tbh#funnily enough blood work came back normal#i think this is one of the reasons i enjoy doing ultrasounds so much#sometimes you just happen across some weird shit with no prior warning#and seemingly no major consequences#my other fun ultrasound experience today was to confirm the pregnancy of dog#and one of the puppies looked like it was waving its little paws around#rather delightful#(they're pug/prague ratter mixes tho.)#(just. why. why would you do this.)

For all the people in the notes speaking about that one or two defenestrations in Prague - WE HAD THREE!! The first one was in 1419 by hussites and sparked the hussites wars, the second was in 1483 and led to Kutná Hora’s peace (Kutnohorský mír) and the third one was in 1618 and sterted 30 years war. But the second one for some reason (probably because it sperked peace and not decades of wars even though you could argue that as far as defenestrations go it was one of the more succesful - I mean, if I remember correctly it was done simultatenously from not one but two townhalls, people who should have died actually did AND the responsible party got what they wanted which is better then you can say about the third one) is often forgotten even in the Czechia so the defenestration of Prague in 1618 is often incorrectly known as “the second defenestration of Prague” even though it’s not. Like I’m pretty sure the relative succes of the second one was one of the reason why the protestants nobles in 1618 chose it as a valiable strategy to show protest, get the emperor accept their demands and get away with it. They were wrong but well... shit happens (pun intended, although that was mostly protestants’ response to catolics’ whole - “they were saved by angels” thing and in reality they probably survived because the terraine was less flat then today so their straight fall wasn’t actually all that long and the just kinda roll the rest of the way down).
"defenestrate" is one of my favorite words in the english language because it's just so damn specific. like there's only one situation you'll ever be able to use it in but you might as well be prepared just in case.
#when in Prague#čumblr#kinda#czech things#I do not tolerate any 1483 defenestration errasure#history#defenestrations of Prague my beloved
