when the warmer weather starts it's like, this is it. it's time to start reading a fuck-off huge novel and cart it around various parks to read throughout the summer

everyone hate my loquacious swag. its always "why did you make this sentence so long" and "why do you use so many commas and em dashes" and never "how did you come up with run on sentence" or "writing that run on sentence looked fun"

A copy of Holinshed's Chronicles has been found which was annotated by John Milton (very exciting because we only have a couple of samples of his handwriting), and the way the researcher describes it is killing me, why did you have to come for him like that?

On 1st March, Dr Pratt noticed a surprising little “e” in notations added to the book. “I was like, ‘God, there’s no way in hell this is true, but it kind of looks like this stupid way Milton writes ‘e’,” Pratt said.

[University of Cambridge article]

#my idiot author and his ugly Es (affectionate)#john milton#for the record he means writing e instead of ɛ#which i guess wasnt the done thing in the 1640s#the article also calls him a prude for crossing out a racy anecdote

Always love how much folklore especially creature folklore emphasizes that there is a way for you to win. These are the steps to ensure the dead don't rise: take them out through a hole in the wall and give them iron shoes. Vampires cannot abide sunlight. If you hear a dog howl on a churchyard path turn around and get home as fast as you can. Iron and salt and the colour red. None of this doomed idea, the world is incomprehensible but if you're a bit clever you'll survive it just fine, there's always ways out.

Tonight is creepy. Just went to close my window before I go to sleep and I can see the stars and a muddy orange moon but there's thick fog settled in the valley – usually I can see lights on the other side of the river but tonight it's deep and hazy. It's 1 am and I can hear sheep?? No city noises, just sheep, owls and dripping from the rain earlier this evening. Half convinced I'm going to wake up tomorrow and find a werewolf passed out on my kitchen floor

#i live on the outskirts of a city so one one side its woods and farmland and the other is urban sprawl#so the sheep arent that weird but so eerie in midnight fog
