Did anyone else watch that show about 3 ghost hunters and their dog? I think one of them dies....
do you guys think they want italian food today
I got some new followers during the boop siege, so for the uninitiated:
TOMORROW IS THE DANNYPOCALYPSE
it's like the mishapocalypse but for the danny phantom fandom where we put a very specific Danny Fenton/Phantom face on everything (we call him Danno).
I will be participating like I do every year, so if you don't want your dash to be spammed or flooded with danno memes and art please mute the tags "dannypocalypse" "dannypocalypse 2024" and "dannypocalypse2024"
frankly just muting the first tag will be fine, but to be safe mute all 3.
Or, join in on the fun and enjoy a very strange but enjoyable fandom tradition!
Either way, I'll still be here after it ends, so feel free to check everything out after the fact :)

i stumbled across your post about bran castle and it got me thinking maybe the entrance has changed over the years?
Hi there! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention :)
Renovations and the layout changing completely skipped my mind when i made the original post, so I did some digging for you to find out if anything has changed with Bran Castle’s entrence over the year.
For starters I look into the history of the castle itself, and found a lot of information about it going through many renovations in order to repair the castle, due to it once being used as a military stronghold.
So for the most part nothing crazy, and we know that Bram Stoker never actually visited the castle either before or during the writing of Dracula.
Moving on I decided to look less at the history of the castle itself, and more specifically at any drastic changes to the castle itself.
The main source I could find on the entrence moving was Adventure Transylvania, and yes! The entrance did move!
The only issue is that because Bran Castle was used for fighting purposes, from what we know about the old bridge, it was absolutely not suitable for say, a carriage holding fan favorite British real estate agent Johnathan Harker.
Moving on, on the post itself you mentioned that Bran Castle has a courtyard, and while this is true surprise surprise there’s an Issue™️.
This is the quote in the book where Johnathan first describes the courtyard.
“In the gloom the courtyard looked of considerable size, and as several dark ways led from it under great round arches, it perhaps seemed bigger than it really is.”
Let’s start with the accurate parts about this:
1. There’s a courtyard. Good job
2. There are arches in the courtyard
And that’s it.
The courtyard itself isn’t that big, and due to something we’ll get to later, in no way could have a carriage drive around in it.
Since there’s no records of the dimensions of Bran Castle (and trust me I’ve LOOKED), I’ve used the magic of the google earth ruler to measure the courtyard. By itself that seems large but when the average courtyard is approximately 3,000ft^2, it’s 100% on the small size.
As for the other reason…
There’s a massive step/divide in the courtyard and a well
So yeah TL;DR the castle entrance did move, but it’s never been carriage accessible and neither is the courtyard :)
