Me: Clip shows suck, clip shows always suck. From Star Trek: The Next Generation; Shades Of Grey, to both Phineas and Ferb Music Clip shows, they have never not sucked.
Young Dracula; Therapy: hold my blood.
Me (crying): Okay, maybe they don't all suck ...

I like to think the Countās first name is Bram
I think it definitely has to be a 'B', owing to Magda's nickname for him 'Bun-Buns'. Bram fits that, and would certainly be in keeping with the Bram Stoker's Dracula references in the show. Additionally, while I'm not able to find any stereotypically Slavic names, consistent with the rest of the family, that start with 'Bram', 'Bran', which is very close, is a quite common prefix.
Another Slavic name that also fits the 'Bun-Buns' nickname is Barnim, and it's connection to a line of Pomeranian Dukes, some of them not nice people, would befit a man of his status.
Of course, we do also have to accept the possibility that his first-name is actually 'Bun-Buns'
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

New robin branagh headcanon just dropped that's totally not just me projecting onto him:
He loves being pale cuz it makes him feel like a vampire, but he tans really easily in the sun, and so he refuses to leave the house during the day in the summer without so much sunscreen it gives him a white cast
Fortunately he's Welsh, so he doesn't get to see the sun anyway
Is this what is meant by 'cat girl'?

EXCUSE MEEEEE?????
Oh, sorry, was I in your way?
i want to know if other countries also obsess over their flags being everywhere. USAmericans pls don't reply we all have a pretty good idea of the situation there /lh
when you go out how many local flags do you see
usually only on some people's property (their yard/car/window/etc)
only on government buildings
on certain streets
on (almost) every street
just a few big flags cerving kinda like landmarks
on most buildings
multiple of these options
all of the above
none of these
other/nuance/USAmerican
please share where you're from if you don't mind :)
In the U.K. it used to be only on government buildings, if even there, but flags have gotten much more common recently, especially in smaller towns. I can't remember seeing a Union Flag, outside of books, royal stuff and football games, growing up, but these days we have them, and the St. George cross hanging from the lampposts.
We have fallen prey to the same nationalism and populism as the U.S. in recent years, with the rise of the Reform Party to relevance, but it's an historical anomaly.
Or a Welsh quarry
Rose is punishing Sep for being sooo annoying in the TodHunter Moon series. We donāt even know why they broke up!! Come on I wanna know the SeptimusRose lore
I seem to remember somewhere in Pathfinder saying that she dumped him because she wanted to date one of the Manuscriptorium guys (Foxy maybe, not sure though). I might be misremembering, I'm fairly sure she was stated to be dating someone from the Manuscriptorium, but I don't know for sure if it said that she'd left Sep for him.
IRL, I know Angie Sage broke them up because she wanted Sep to be interested in Driffa, and didn't want to complicate that with a pre-existing relationship. Plus, I get the impression that - maybe - Angie didn't get to develop the relationship between Sep and Rose as fully as she might have liked to. Far more time is spent on Sep's crush on Syrah, which ends up going nowhere, and - at the end of Fyre - Sep and Rose are still in their early days.
For my own headcanon, I think it being known that Sep would be E.O.W. soon might have been the real cause. I think Rose really did care about Sep, and didn't want there to be a conflict of interest between his duty to the Tower and the Castle, and his relationship with her.
Say there were another Darke Domain, contained, and - as nearly happened in Darke - Rose is on watch, would Sep risk the girl he loves for the sake of the Castle? If he did, and something happened, could he live with himself? If he didn't, and sent someone else instead, what would that say about the value he places on the lives of the other O.W.s under him?
It may even have been against the Wizard Tower code for the E.O.W. to be in a relationship with an O.W. All of the E.O.W. relationships we see are strictly external to the Wizard Tower; Marcia and Milo, Alther and Alice (maybe they really broke-up because their names weren't sufficiently alliterative); for the reason described above.
Would be interested to hear what other people think.
EDIT: Love the picture, by the way.
Sometimes I think of HBO and how there were so many YA or middle grade books they could have picked to produce.
Reboot Howl's moving castle, Artemis Fowl or Eragon, give us an adaptation of Septimus Heap or Inkheart or Gone or something else I didn't think about.
Spook's Apprentice or Earthsea would also be nice!

My sister's book, a compilation of short horror stories, is now available for pre-order. Please have a look;
Thursday Murder Club Poll:
On my latest reread, and was wondering what the general consensus was.
Which is your favourite entry in the series?
The Thursday Murder (Book 1)
The Man Who Died Twice (Book 2)
The Bullet That Missed (Book 3)
The Last Devil To Die (Book 4)
The Impossible Fortune (Book 5)
The Thursday Murder Club (film)
500 years from now thereās gonna be some film historian whoās entire career is built off of searching for a copy of goncharov
and they're never gonna find it cuz they fucking took it off poob
One wonders how many more of the famous lost works are like this.
Canāt believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s
And in 2015 Emily Brontƫ released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights
Thank God someone paved the way for themā¦
if you think jk was the first woman author, you donāt actually care about women authors.
Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect
Murasaki Shikibu didnāt invent the novel for this.
Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for womenās education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.
š¶SHAHARIZADE HAD A THOUSAND TALESš¶
Thisā¦ā¦ā¦.isnāt even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?
Casual reminder that
a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna
the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu
the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish
horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley
a Scotswoman expanded childrensā stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair
the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy
And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton
And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?
Not to mention Agatha Christie is literallyĀ second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold ā 4 billionĀ compared to JKRās paltry 500 millionĀ
Mary Shelly did what
Mary.Shelly.Lost.Her.Virginity.On.Her.Parentās.Grave.
Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her motherās grave. Her father was still very much alive.
She did what now?
We have female authors who published before Rowling here on Tumblr. @dduane, for example! I read her Star Trek novels from the 80s and 90s as a kid/teen.
Octavia E. Butler wrote probably the most accurate dystopian novel in the form of Parable of the Sower.
hey, you know that thing where the white supremacists and their braying donkeys like to pretend they invented cultureā¦
Diana Wynne Jones wrote SO many superb and wildly original books based on magic (and science fiction, and mythology, and legend) for kids between 1973 and 2011 including the āChrestomanciā series, āHowlās Moving Castleā, to name the merest smattering of them
If we want to take things out from the world of prose and include the women who author poetry, youāve got Sapho, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sarojini Naidu, Sylvia Plath, Marina Tsvetaeva and Emily Dickinson to name but a few
Ursula K. Le Guin did not PERFECT the fantasy genre to receive such slander.
my devoted but dangerously unstable knight will be hearing about this

Is waiting for HP fanfics to get published the only way to get long, slow-pacing story happening in a magic school or am I missing out on some amazing series because I have no idea where to look
You know, if the big studios had to bring out a new series about people using magic fighting against a big evil, they didn't need to reuse Harry Potter.
(You know, outside of it being a money grab by a transphobic, aphobic, homophobic bitch.)
I'm sure there are a lot of other books about magical schools and whatnot, but if you want a magical (no schools) story:
They could have done Septimus Heap.
Or, if they really wanted to do a magic school, Wizard of Earthsea is right there, and damn it, it deserves a good adaptation, for once.
