The Call-Leader, Elwood, Indiana, July 29, 1915
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
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
Anything sounds like explosion, missile whistle, drones or air raid if you're traumatized enough
watched the episode and went here specifically to find and reblog this scene
I'm not sure what part of this is my favorite. (They are all my favorite.)
Image I made to express my emotions about the red valley season finale coming out tomorrow </3
i started malevolent fully sure it was finished (for some reason??) and, needless to say, the biggest plot twist of season 4 for me was, in fact, season 5
currently having many feelings tm about Helen being the first person, after Martin, after this kinda huge personality shift in Jon’s character, him excepting the truth and entering this horrid world of unknown monsters, in whose story he admits to believe, willingly and openly, only for her to be immediately killed
Присвячено всім загиблим тваринкам під час війни.
took a break from listening to wtnv awhile back just because it stopped making sense to me (not the lore obv just…the words, somehow) just to turn around and start camp here and there a few weeks later
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?
