49 sampan ship
49. āCall me when you get home.ā (from this)
i shouldnāt even be surprised that you put okamori in my ask, naya ;w;
Theyāve not seen each other for awhile.
That is a total understatement. Looking down at his phone, Ryutaro sighs as he ruffles his hair for the nth time. Itās one of the problems that comes when you are not in the same group as your boyfriend anymore. Then again, he muses, they wouldnāt have been together if he had continued to be part of the group.Ā
tell me more about this vampirates
Oh boy, my young self is coming back to haunt me. So, they were a book series by Justin Somper. There are 6 books and one short story, I think, but I never read the last two books. The first one was released in 2005, aka Peak Vampire Lit Renaissance, so here they became somewhat popular-ish after Twilight became a hit and all things vampire and supernatural romance started comingĀ to the fore-front, but more aimed at what we now know as the young adult audience which back then was still a foggy concept.Ā
Vampirates was weird in many ways, and one of those ways was in its intended audience. On the one hand, it was pretty gritty and dark in some things, but it was also very campy in other things, so there was this weird juxtaposition of stuff that shouldnāt normally be together. It was also kind of a dystopia too, because it was set in the future? I donāt know, the mid 2000s were wild.Ā
There were Vampires, there were Pirates and there were Vampires who were also Pirates hence the name of the series. My memory is foggy on details but the leads were twins, Grace and Connor, Grace ended up in the Vampire ship (where there was a love interest for her, one of those detached, sad and broody types of vampire leads that were all the rage at the time, called Lorcan, you can imagine the type) and Connor ended up with the regular pirates (and made two friends who were pretty cool but then one got turned into a vampire and there was Drama). Connorās side was most often more epic adventure and Graceās was more mystery romance, and then they got together for bigger conflicts and some things relating to their pasts and the story got suuuper convoluted there.Ā
My favorite characters were, from the vampire side, Darcy Flotsam, who was a super cute flapper vampire girl who by day was the figurehead of the ship. She was cute, sassy, stylish and I loved her. From the pirate crew I liked Cate, who was super fierce in combat and a great strategy master and Cheng Li who was a cool girl, also very fierce and no-nonsense and she gets her own ship later. You know what, I liked most female characters except for Grace, probably because Grace was the mostĀ āconventionalā for the time, with her teenage romance, brooding and all that sweet sweet mid 2000s supernatural romance tropes.Ā
I remember that the plot got really weird with the backstory for the twins and who their father actually was biologically, I never fully understood what happened there, and it got super strange. I was also a lot more invested with secondary characters than with the main ones, especially the whole Grace/Lorcan thing bored me to death, so thatās why I could never keep up with them.Ā
All in all, theyāre books that sometimes I felt I experienced as a fever dream in a moment of my life when I read pretty much anything my friends recommended me, because I was young and unafraid, but I remember I had fun with them at the time, even if they had their issues and were campy as fuck. Theyāre exactly what youād expect from a book series called Vampirates, pretty much.Ā

ohhh my god, this was a lot to take in. it's interesting tho! fairytales being a retelling of real historical events.
Fairy tales and folk stories are some of the most useful tools to recount cultural, social and historical elements of the past because they all carry marks of the time and place where they circulated in, if you know where to look at. Bakhtin talked about that when he developed his chronotope theory (which Iām very much using for my upcoming series on Disney characters through time, but thatās another thing). For example, Perraultās version of Little Red Riding Hood was aimed towards young women whereas the Grimm version was aimed towards children, so the changes in the story represent a change in target audience (for example, the addition of a mother character in the Grimm version, to name just one) which, in tow, have to do with the social and cultural situation of the time and why there were historical reasons to aim stories to certain audiences (Perraultās being published in 1697 in France and the Grimm brothers in 1812 in Germany).Ā
This is why Iām so against this tumblr idea ofĀ āculture bent fairy talesā where they think a good way to spread representation is to re-make European fairy tales with cultures that do not have the same values, history and culture; especially when all cultures around the world have their own stories, which focus on what they particularly found important to tell at the time. Some cultures put more emphasis in nature and the wild life, with fables and origin stories for natural occurrences (like the creation of a certain tree or a certain animal species). Others focus more on spirits, ethereal beings and figures that have legends behind them, sometimes tied to specific locations. Others have more cautionary tales for the life in certain areas, with rules and boundaries that have to do with daily lives. Some actually intersect, like Cinderella, which has versions in a myriad of places around the globe and cultures all over, but with very crucial changes in each one. To me, āculture bent fairy talesā are a form of colonialism. They are a way of erasing diversity, overlaying European elements onto other cultures by assuming that a shoe or an apple have the same meaning in every culture around the globe, at every given point in history. And I assure you, every culture has its own stories to tell, the thing is that they donāt have as much marketing. A proper way of spreading representation would be to tell those stories, instead.Ā
On that note, one of my ongoing personal projects has to do with researching my countryās folk stories and oral lore, which there isnāt much information on, but itās a fascinating subject to me. South American folklore in general is extremely varied and only some countries get the spotlight in media, most times.Ā

6: Which book was the last one you really, really loved?
I started the year with pretty great books (Good Omens, A Monster Calls, Stories of Your Life) but I think the last series that had me super hooked and 10000% invested was Patrick Nessās Chaos Walking trilogy, which I read in late 2015/early 2016. What an amazing series. Also, special mention to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, which I read a month ago in 3 days.Ā

would love to see more folk tales/fairy tales from other countries in mainstream media too than just using the same fairytales we know tbh
And there are SO MANY. And theyāre all so interesting. I mean, if you wanna make Cinderella all over again, thatās fine, but if youāre interested in diversity, slapping Euro-centrism into another culture is not the way to go imho.Ā

!!! how did you like the movie??? also that seems to be the consensus about the role julie was supposed to play i think if she accepted the cameo
I imagined that, it made sense theyād go for Angela if Julie didnāt want to do it. I havenāt yet seen any interviews so idk if itās mentioned. In any case, I was so happy to see that Angela was in it, I love her immensely.Ā
Thoughts about the movie in read more because length :/

Iām gonna try it then, see what shows up, I didnāt know if the site was legit but it seemed to be...I read comments of people saying they had their banners flagged even
Update: it seems I might be in the clear as well, in theĀ āexplicitā bit it says No but who knows.Ā
