I still read all of your lovely replies! I have not given up on art my friends! I have even started my own webcomic on webtoon! It’s called Seth In Space and it would mean a lot to me if you would support me there! Love you all and happy halloween!!

I’m so happy to tell you all that I’ve made great progress with my mental health!! To genuinely be able to say that I feel happy is so liberating and free! I know a lot of you are still in that dark place. I’m here to say that it does get better. Much better! I still have some tough days but progress is progress! Be kind and gentle to yourselves. I love you all and thank you to everyone who’s supported me over the years!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy halloween 2021 everyone!! As for some good news, I came out as genderfluid this year!! I hope everyone has a magical halloween!! Patreon

I didn’t know what to do for the update this year as I felt I would just be repeating myself from last year, so I was advised to go balls to the wall

Happy Halloween!!

Sure, here ya go:

  1. Lord George Gordon Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s.
  2. He wrote several narrative poems that influenced the gothic genre and was a HUGE fucking slut. HUGE. This bisexual mess slept with so many fucking people it was insane, no gender was safe. Unfortunately that “no one was safe” mentality did not work out well for him bc there were a LOT of rumors that he impregnated his half-sister.
  3. His only child from a legitimate marriage was from his wife, Lady Anne Isabella Noel Byron, who straight-up left him after a year. You know how divorce was uncommon in the 1800s? His wife was just so fed up with him that she did not care and left when her daughter was five weeks old.
  4. This daughter was named Ada and would become known as Ada Lovelace.
  5. Byron signed the separation papers and then left the country to have sex elsewhere and would later die when Ada was eight.
  6. During that time if a couple divorced, usually the Dad would get full custody, so just in case he tried anything Lady Byron made sure to play the devoted and overattentive mother.
  7. Lady Byron was absolutely paranoid that her daughter would become an insane gothic mess like her dad so she decided the only thing to do would be to make sure she did not become a Poet™. So she heavily encouraged Ada’s interests in science and mathematics.
  8. Around the 1830-40s, Ada met Charles Babbage through a mutual friend and he showed her his prototype for a mechanical calculator. She got absolutely obsessed with this machine and began helping him out with it to the point where her notes on it became more extensive than his.
  9. She also added notes to a translation of a paper on this engine that is considered to be the first published algorithm.
  10. These notes on the engine and translation became the basis for computer programming.
  11. She’s considered The First Computer Programmer™

So, because Lord Byron was a little slut and his wife wanted their daughter to Not Be, we now have to deal with tumblr discourse. Thank you and goodnight.

Vampire fiction and science fiction as we know it today also exist as a direct result of his friends being stuck in a cabin with him during a storm so there’s that as well. Hot vampires and sci-fi nerds are also his fault.

She was one of the people stuck in the cabin (well I think it was more of a 19th century Airbnb that the group of friends rented for a holiday that was then ruined by the weather) with him. Since they couldn’t do any outdoor activities they decided to write spooky stories and read them together instead. She wrote Frankenstein, kicking off the science fiction genre, and Dr John Polidori wrote… I’ve forgotten the title and it might just be “The Vampire” or “Vampyre” or something like that but anyway he did that. Dracula is much more influential now but that was the first big vampire novel. Byron didn’t create either genre but arguably motivated their creation by being an annoying horndog so they wanted to stay in their rooms writing instead of hang out with him.

It’s also worth mentioning that the summer they were stuck in that cabin is referred to as the Year Without Summer and was directly caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia the year before. It is also blamed for failed crops and mass famine on almost every continent, and the explosion could be heard something like 1600 miles away. The eruption of Tambora and the subsequent lack of summer worldwide is estimated to have killed anywhere from 100,000 to many millions of people. If all the deaths from diseases such as cholera and typhoid that found perfect conditions to spread rapidly during the famines are included, the total death toll could be estimated around 40 million people worldwide, which would put it on par with world war one.

TL;DR: Byron being a goth slut led directly to his daughter inventing computer programming, and being stuck in a cabin with him during crazy weather patterns caused by the largest volcanic eruption in modern history on the other side of the globe directly led to the invention of the genres of science fiction and gothic horror

Tumblr dragging Lord Byron is similar to its dragging of Ea Nasir, but more verbose and maundering and blunt and intense, which also describes Lord Byron.

Byron is the Byronic hero? How ironic.

To be more specific, Byron wrote and abandoned a vampire novella called “Fragment of a Novel” during this “ghost story night”, and after parting ways with him because they couldn’t stand each other anymore, his physician John Polidori took Byron’s novella concept and wrote his own novella called The Vampyre, often considered THE first work of Western vampire literature, the beginning of the Aristocratic Vampire, an iconic piece of homoeritic vampire lit, and the dangerous, debauched, homoerotic vampire of which is considered as being totally inspired by Lord Byron himself.

I am bit incensed with this description of Ada Lovelace and the framing of math and arts as diametrically opposed as connected to her in particular. And the source of her success being that opposition. It’s true, Ada’s mother discouraged any “fanciful thinking” and wanted her to be nothing like her father (she wouldn’t let Ada see any portraits of her father until the age of 20!), but it should also be noted Lady Byron taught her daughter math bc her mother was a mathematician herself, jokingly called the "princess of parallelograms.“

Ada was discouraged from studying literature in the same way she studied maths, but she rankled under the discouragement and was drawn to Romanticism. In modern terms, you can frame it as her mother stifling her artistic streak and Ada rebelling into art anyway.

Here is one example from Lovelace’s childhood: The story of her flying machine

Lovelace is often compared to Leonardo da Vinci; when she was around 12 she outlined her own “flying machine” from studying the anatomy of birds. She illustrated meticulous plans for the wings and the material-needed to withstand flight. The result of her research were designs for a Pegasus with a “steam engine” inside, allowing a person to ride on the back and fly through the skies.

(Source for modern Ada and her machine)

This is one of my favorite stories, because it is so delightfully brilliant and fantastical and very 12-year-old-girl. How many little girls do you know drawing Pegasus right now? Tell them to keep drawing Pegasi. But the main point is that Ada was a vast mind with a vast artistic interest. 

In Ada’s own words, she termed her approach “Poetical Math” and “found the division between art and science deterred people from understanding the essence of an idea.” In records, she is the first person to question if a machine could think and this could be credited additionally to the depths of her imagination.

In conclusion, Ada Lovelace is not the story of a child being pushed away from art resulting in great science. Lovelace is the story of a child being pushed away from art, finding it anyway, and creating great science as a result.
