Just finished an episode of nightwale and realised I couldn’t go to the next one because there was no next one

My worldview has been shaken. I feel lost, floating, untethered. What do I do with my Cecil-accompanied trips to the new neighborhoods/places without Cecil’s accompagnement?

I desperately need post canon shinanigans with those three

thinking about how Johnny and Alex met at a shitty night job and decided a few years later to write an audio drama that literally changed the lives of thousands of people. how Harlan was literally unemployed when he decided to start making malevolent, and now he's singlehandedly revolutionizing the audio drama landscape. or Zach Valenti and Gabriel Urbina being long-time college friends who wanted to make something fun with no expectation that over 20 million people would listen to it....not being hyperbolic at all when I say that some of the best pieces of audio fiction have been made in basements by teams of less than 3 people. wtnv has always been a few friends who wanted to make something interesting after their day job. i am just thinking of artists persevering under the crushing weight of capitalism. .. and great art made out of pure love and curiosity for an emerging medium...

the shaded cradle. the fields as far as you can see. the oxen down the road. the people in the other field. the child pushing away their sister. the fact that the children are even here. the woman laughting at them. the other woman drinking. the buzzy bur. i just…just love art so much and Ukrainian art all the more so

Title: Harvest in Ukraine Artist: Mykola Pymonenko (Ukrainian, 1862-1912) Date: 1896 Genre: genre art Movement: Realism Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 87 cm (34.2 in) high x 140 cm (55.1 in) wide

Apparently, another side effect of listening to wolf 359 is disrupting my classes when i see the words ‘Minkowski metric’ and start vibrating at glass-shattering frequency

the sacred ukrainian sapphic experience of being a teenage girl and first learning that The Icons of ukrainian literature lesya ukrainka and olha kobylianska were lovers

just woke up at 3 am after having my braces tightened (ouch, like, a lot) and had this weirdest epihany about wolf 359

it makes perfect sense, can’t believe i haven’t thought about it before but why on earth would it be my first thought after waking up

Діалог з батьком до Великодня

cherry cats wip 🍒

Sweetpea by Ivan Trush, 1920s

Today’s anime cat of the day is:

Madara/Nyanko-sensei from Natsume Yuujinchou!

Listening to 3.02 and the exchange between “Mr. Dauphin” and Nova had me audibly chocking on air in a room full of people

Specifically this line:

Actual things that happen in the 1897 Dracula novel, without context:

A character has ominous nightmares and attributes them to eating too much paprika

Dracula first appears wearing a fake beard

The person he was trying to fool with the fake beard immediately realizes Dracula and Beard Guy are the same man, due to both having really firm handshakes

We are told parrots are immortal unless fatally wounded

A Texan cowboy opens fire on a bat flitting around a window, and lodges a bullet in the wall of an occupied room

A woman is called a polyandrist for receiving blood transfusions from multiple men

An incorrectly addressed telegram leads to two deaths, multiple druggings, and several children being assaulted

Dracula, while trying to maintain a low profile, takes a lovely trip to the zoo and freaks out the animals so badly that he gets mentioned in a newspaper article

The one character who knows anything about vampires spends a good two-thirds of the book refusing to talk about vampires

Dracula went to Satan's Witchcraft Academy and somehow this is only brought up in two throwaway lines

A character gets stuck inside a circle of communion wafer crumbs

A major plot point of the book is Dracula (who was said to be a brilliant scholar and has the strength of twenty mortal men) realizing he can move boxes without human help

Someone is referred to as "manifestly a prig of the first water"

Two characters have a hobby of reading train schedules

A hospital lets a mental patient escape to see what will happen

A character starts vomiting up feathers from eating whole birds

A doctor refuses to give a medical diagnosis and instead makes a speech about growing corn

Dracula impersonates another character just by wearing the same clothes, despite being taller and visibly much older. This deception is successful.

A character "cleans" a room by eating all the insects in it

Suddenly: rats. Thousands of them.

The heroes progress in their efforts through "the wonderful power of money," i.e., bribery

Dracula has three other vampires in his castle. Their relation to him is never explained, nor are any of them named.

A character insists his salvation depends on having a pet cat

Dracula is thwarted by flowers on more than one occasion

A group of vampires stand in the hall outside a man's bedroom, talking loudly about their plans to eat him. When he comes to the door to confront them, they run away laughing

Dracula wears an unfashionable hat and gets roasted for it

A group of Romanians encounter a disheveled, shouting man and, "seeing from his violent demeanour that he was English, they [give] him a ticket for the furthest station on the way thither that the train reached."

A boat crashes due to Dracula having the munchies

A wolf is thrown through a window and immediately runs off, confused and covered in glass

Dracula makes a bed

finished “Lady of a lake” episode and had to go lay on my bedroom floor for a good, long while

Just finished Juno Steel and the case of the murderuos mask and i actively feel this podcast taking over my brain

Talk about a twist..

actually, no, i don’t need any white noise to fall asleep to sinse my cat’s cleaning herself 0.2 santimeters away from my face

Image I made to express my emotions about the red valley season finale coming out tomorrow </3

did you guys know that when you are in bed at night time, you can turn on a lamp, put a really soft blanket around your shoulders and read your book?? and sometimes it will rain??? did you know that???? the wonders of this life do not cease!

“it’s not about romance it’s about being each other’s only person”

Fuck love confessions. What if I stabbed myself through the hand with a scalpel so you can get a tortoise?

The sky looks like this right now btw:

Which is of course completely normal and could not mean anything ever at all

do you all see my vision here

Anything sounds like explosion, missile whistle, drones or air raid if you're traumatized enough

tma is getting a collab with watcher??entertainment????

i am a fool and the spiral would have my ass in a heartbeat (i’ve just looked for 15 minutes straight for the keys i’ve lost a few days ago somewhere in my room (they were in my pocket all along))

ik it won’t happen but i really want this universe’s Gertrude to be the one to have burned down the institute

not for any metaplot reasons, just since they both exist(ed) in this reality

she should be able to look jonah straight in the eyes as she sets ablaze his life’s work, the monument to his superority and the only thing he ever cared about simultaniously and lets it burn until there’s nothing but scorched ground in place for decades to come

Ukraine Donation Guide Master Post

Multi-Purpose

United 24 has various fundraisers dedicated to defense and drones, medical aid, rebuilding Ukraine, humanitarian demining, and science and education. You can pick which one you want to contribute to under their various projects.

Liberty Ukraine uses funds for humanitarian aid, medical supplies, protective gear and equipment, and rehabilitation therapy. You can choose which campaign of theirs to donate to.

Come Back Alive is a charitable foundation that supports Ukraine's military with competent assistance while also focusing on security and defense. They also have projects that use sports to help veterans rehabilitate. You can choose which campaign to donate to.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation works to help both civilians and Ukraine's army. You can choose to donate to an active project or any of their general campaigns. Civilian aid campaigns cover temporary housing, supporting crisis and emergency responses, schools, demining, and healthcare. Military aid campaigns cover drones, optics units, communications equipment, and support of air defense teams.

Food Aid

World Central Kitchen works with local partners wherever they are providing food aid. They make sure meals and meal kits are what the local population eats. Even though there is no separate fundraising campaign for Ukraine (that I can see), they still do great work.

Animal Rescue

Hachiko Foundation works to help displaced pets and strays in frontline areas. They help with veterinary care, outdoor shelters, setting up feeding stations, and rehoming animals..

Partenit. Southern coast of Crimea. 1910s. by Serhii Vasylkivskyi (1854–1917).

Well... um... the magnus protocol sure is a podcast

so…a few things about the statement in magp 22:

kinda curious about the patient. it’s said that he has a deformity in his skull (my best guess is either he was born with it or it’s an injury, esp considering ww1 ended not that long ago) but i doubt that matters at all

also, the occipital lobe “plays a crucial role in language and reading, storing memories, recognizing familiar places and faces, and much more” (okay Stranger)

real-life Hans Berger performed the first ever eeg (“reading brain waves”) in 1924

he became interested in neurology bc he believed in phychic powers and mind reading:

the part about him writing to dr. Canton seems completely legit, and he was married to Ursula, cool

unfortunately, he was affiliated with the nazi (and specifically supportive of eugenics), being on the comittee that decided which (of the ‘feeble-minded’ and the likes) would get sterilized

and he also died by suicide

none of which is probably going to be relevant later, but, hey, learning is fun
