every moment of every day i am thinking about this tiktok
Lumpfish come in a variety of shapes and colors.
[He scoops up the fish, it spits water and he turns it toward the camera]
This one is stumpy and green. Very beautiful, very powerful.
[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]
This is what a normal lumpfish looks like. It is more elongated, but still a vibrant blue color. Very beautiful, very powerful.
[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]
This is one of the stumpiest ones we have. Its hump is very high. It is very stumpy, but yet very beautiful, and very powerful.
[He pans over a lot of fish, all looking up at the camera]
My fish army is ever growing, and soon I will over throw the world. Very beautiful, very powerful.
because of this tiktok, i frequently murmur "very beautiful, very powerful" at myself, and i cannot recommend it enough.
Mina Harker's Paprika Hendl
Recipe provided by the good people at @theholmwoodfoundation, originally from the Gothic Cookbook
[for those of you who voted MORE PAPRIKA on my poll regarding this fic - here it is! The same recipe, different timeline. See if you can figure out whose recently fully funded on kickstarter Dracula sequel this is attempting to be in continuity with - note the color coding!]
[this continuity seems to have red as its accent color. For the paprika no doubt. Probably don't worry about it...]
[And one last one. Nothing extraordinary, I'm sure that eerie green glow is nothing to worry about. Reminder that I have no affiliation with the referenced Dracula sequel and all of this is mere idle speculation which can only resemble future develomlopments via the workings of coincidence. All spelling errors I blame on the severe lag on my laptop.]
Morning after a Stormy Night by Johan Christian Dahl
Oh and credit to @a-lilac-lyric for letting me know about the medals Quincey should have!
I mean it could be worse. It could be called Gimp or something
PSA for fanfic writers
''I suppose one ought to pity any thing so hunted as is the Count. That is just it: this Thing is not human—not even beast. To read Dr. Seward’s account of poor Lucy’s death, and what followed, is enough to dry up the springs of pity in one’s heart.'' -Mina Harker, 30th September
Thinking about your theory that vampirism is pure id (like Jekyll's potion, but... worse).
If Mina turned, she would probably have these inhibitions stripped away. No repressors, full drive to avenge and protect her own.
