“Our once beautiful prince…we will follow you until the end to take back what is rightfully yours. A magnificent being such as you should never have deserved such a cruel fate. Command us and we will raise your unseen army.”
Had to make my character again for this week’s theme,’Blindness’ . It was too good to pass up because Sidreic had all of his senses taken away from him out of jealousy and malice.
Week four of the 2018 Month of Fear challenge: “Blindness”
“What it was, whether man or beast, I could not tell…”
Lucy, barely conscious in her sleepwalking trance, has fallen into the clutches of Dracula, who disappears just as the pair are discovered by Mina. From across the churchyard, all Mina can see is a hulking shadow bending over Lucy… until she comes closer…
“I could see the seat and the white figure, for I was now close enough to distinguish it even through the spells of shadow. There was undoubtedly something, long and black, bending over the half-reclining white figure. I called in fright, “Lucy! Lucy!” and something raised a head, and from where I was I could see a white face and red, gleaming eyes.”
Week five of the 2018 Month of Fear challenge: “Truth”
“We need have no secrets amongst us. Working together and with absolute trust, we can surely be stronger than if some of us were in the dark.”
Mina working through the night, transcribing journals, letters, and newspaper clippings to learn the truth of Count Dracula. Her work is what comprises the entirety of the “Dracula” novel – all the letters and journal entries are collected by her and typed into a single document as a record of all the events surrounding the mysterious Count, and his nefarious plans…
i just saw a fb post where a man was arguing with a woman about the best way to make macarons and he kept insisting that she was wrong, and then eventually he was like “I’ve never personally made macarons, but if you think about it what I’m saying makes sense, i’m simply stating the obvious. i’m sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials that would show you the same thing.” and the woman replied by linking him to her instagram business page and she makes fuckin macaron towers for parties for a living and i’ve been laughing about it for a solid 5 minutes.
Men automatically assume they’re more of an expert on something than any woman on account of their dicks. I’ve never met such an ignorant and narcissistic creature as a male
I’ll never forget a time when a fb friend of mine posted that she’s on her way to hospital to give birth. Women commented with “good luck” and other encouraging messages. A man’s comment was advice on how to give birth.
You have got to be kidding me
So I was talking about Jekyll & Hyde (the book) at a writer’s museum while we were looking at an Robert Louis Stevenson exhibit. I was giving my take on Jekyll, and my brother tried to counter it. I countered back easily, and then he said “well I’ve never read the book”
My dude………..stop
my ex, whose baking experience was pretty much limited to frying premade biscuit dough in boy scouts to make ‘donuts’, would constantly try to correct me or give me advice on baking
i’m a fucking pastry chef
met a dude at a party who was talking about physics and asked if i’d ever listened to any online physics lectures bc he listened to all of this one series and they were so helpful and maybe i could learn some physics too
i have a degree in physics
and am a published coauthor in astrophysics
the best part is that the woman who invented the term ‘mansplaining’ (her name is Rebecca Solnit and i highly recommend her collection of essays) came up with it when she was at a party one night and a man tried to explain a book to her, and wouldn’t let her speak long enough for her to tell him that
she wrote the bloody book he was mansplaining to her
