The way that Dracula started subtly at first but he's been slowly and lovingly stripping the agency away from Jonathan every single day for weeks and weeks taking away his sleep his personal space his privacy destroying his belongings gaslighting him making him isolate himself from loved ones making him seek refuge from danger in Dracula's mercy and now taking away not just his means of communication but his very identification. The way that everything that once made him Jonathan Harker now belongs to Count Dracula. The way that his name isn't even his own anymore so he might as well forget it

#i really wish there was a bigger cultural conversation about how dracula is about abuse and isolation and the erosion of autonomy#and how opening up to people and telling them about what your going through is the only way to get out#but no. its the sexy story about having sexy sex and rebelling against stuffy victorian norms from @lilacsandcarnations because y e s

#i've started to notice that a lot of public space literary analysis #about rebelling against ' oppressive historic norms'#are actually extremely cold takes #that either actively or passively add to modern oppression #i rambled angrily about how early modern women #had a lot more rights then people assumed #and the response was generally either #we should be grateful that men are only oppressing us sometimes #or like angry terfs #instead of wondering why modern women were taught #that we're so extremely lucky and we should be lucky now so systematically #like vampires are cool #it's not wrong to like vampires #but like it's also not wrong to be aware

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:

#hp lovecraft thought penguins were grotesque and horrifying #he was not a difficult man to frighten

#hp lovecraft #the hate I feel for hp lovecraft is an eternal flame #he's the racist james somerton of horror #but he erased the people he copied from #so well in the american consciousness #that no one seems aware of the degree to which he #racist copy pasted

sometime yesterday people on reddit figured out that the new watcher entertainment platform is not a website they have full creative control over (as implied in their video) but instead is from Vimeo OTT. this is why their new platform looks identical to dropout's. vimeo very likely just has a couple templates you pick from and they picked the same one.

this is FASCINATING to me for a few reasons:

it's not unusual for a company to obfuscate how their new web product is built out. "we're using vimeo's content paywall platform" is not nearly as impressive of a statement as "we're launching our own subscription service." this decision sometimes blows up in a company's face though. in this instance, being more candid about the process probably would have helped to mitigate the blowback, because vimeo could have been pinned by the audience as the evil scapegoat company and people wouldn't be feeling stupid when they create accounts and realize all the videos are hosted on vimeo. it also explains why they encouraged password sharing but their subs limit playing videos on more than three devices. it's just a function of the platform they don't control and didn't think about it when they said that.
i really wonder if they made this decision entirely on their own, or if vimeo has recruiters out there trying to make their platform bigger. obviously the watcher guys are responsible for this decision either way, but it sure would explain a lot about why they jumped to this solution to make more money if they had someone at vimeo pitching it to them.
how fucking funny is it that they posted a dramatic "goodbye youtube" video talking about wanting more control and wanting their own special platform just to go to youtube's direct competitor. lol

Hello everyone! I’m making a post on behalf of my friend, who doesn’t have a Tumblr.

She is a 2-Spirit Inuk artist who is fundraising to access vital medical treatment for chemical burns and resulting pain & complications.

She’s been struggling to receive accessible care in a racist medical system, and she needs our support.

Donations will also pay for transportation to & from the hospital for treatment, as well as basic necessities like her phone bill.

She was recently unable to pay and therefore couldn’t handle her medical needs because she had no access to a phone.

It would mean the world to me if you could spare anything to help her. I am sharing the link to her GoFundMe, as well as a PayPal info for direct donations. She’s in Canada, so if you’re donating from the U.S, your donation will even be a little more in CAD than USD!

People often apologize for donating small amounts, so please believe there is no amount too small. If everyone who saw this donated a few dollars, her care would be covered in full.

Donating directly to funds like this is an immediate and impactful action you can take to support an Indigenous person in your sphere.

Donate if you can, and please share this post. I’ll be reblogging it throughout the week for visibility.

Thank you for your support!!!! ♥️

what do domain squatters even get by putting porn on abandoned domains? like yea i'm totally gonna go "i was looking for this old blog post about TTRPGs but if the porn's right there i might as well watch it and give them all my credit card info"

like it's not even framed as shock content?? it's just "WELCOME TO GUILDMASTERSADVENTURETIPS DOT COM, WE'VE GOT THE HOTTEST SEX VIDS, HERE'S TODAY'S MOST POPULAR"

what do you get by making me see that shit? what is your problem? like. you're tricking me onto a site that isn't what i asked for, why do you think i would trust that clicking anywhere isn't going to give me 7 zillion viruses?

foone

I think it's a scam on someone other than you: it's a scam on the people who run the sex sites.

Like, the people with the abandoned domains are like "hey we can show your ad to 20,000 people for Xty$" and the porn site is like "sounds great!" and then don't realize their ads are going up in terrible places. But they are getting their 20,000 views, so they can't demand their money back.
