Studying Irish myth and folklore is all fun and games until you find out pretty much all record of the roots of this shit was either lost, destroyed by the Christian churches that took over, or destroyed by the English. Which means trying to write literally any paper for class means digging for hours trying to find any credible source on the pre-Christian myths and finding the grand total of three surviving paragraphs on the thing you need. Head in my hands.
actually, frankenstein is the name of the scientist. the horrible emo monster nobody wants to fucking talk to is named lord byron
I downloaded 3 Vast episodes to listen to on my flight. I got (51) High Pressure, (21) Freefall, (75) Long Way Down. I'll reblog the update after.
My friend @soapdi-spencer is doing it too wish us luck
public libraries are so sick. there are five books I want to read and they're all relatively new so they're only available in hardback which is so expensive but it just cost me $0 to place holds on them. five books for zero dollars. it requires nothing but clicking a button and then going to the library to pick them up when they're ready. zero dollars. that's crazy
it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)
when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like
OKAY SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I WOULD DO SOMETHING NICE FOR MY BOYFRIEND AND SHOW HIM THE GORGEOUS MAN THAT IS CURT MEGA AS TADIUS BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WOULD APPRECIATE HIM.
BUT NO. HE WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE KILL AND ATTACKED HIS HAIRLINE. I was in shock my friends. Utterly shocked.
now that i think about it, jonathan harker would’ve been a great character in frankenstein. he’s so completely oblivious to dracula’s red flag parade that he’d probably completely avert the creature’s murderous rampage by accidentally befriending him after spending a page and a half writing about some weirdly tall homeless guy with daddy issues he ran into
gf fandom in 2016: if you so much as hint - even jokingly! - about the nature of ford and bill’s relationship being anything other than platonic (and even then you NEED to give a disclaimer that bill is manipulating him!) then you support abusive relationships
gf fandom in 2024:
i’m going to go lie flat on some train tracks
