Came across the incredibly perfect 1872 Victorian Castle House in Stillwater, MN, 4bds, 4ba, 3,770sqft, and it was sold for $799k. A bargain, it's gorgeous. So, here it is, if you missed it, and if not it deserves a repost.
Gorgeous home.

Modern Fantasy Writers: So obviously everyone back then was afraid of witches because they were misogynists who were afraid of women! But I'm gonna have my protagonist be a witch for real! That'll show em!
Victorians: Wouldn't that just mean they were right? Also, we're enlightened people who know witches aren't real, unlike those primitive Medieval people. Now just let me hold a quick seance.
Actual Medieval People: ...Witches aren't real. For them to be real they'd be getting power from the devil and the devil can't do that, because that would put him equal with God and no one is equal with God. Believing in witches is blasphamy.
Modern Fantasy Writers and Victorians: But what about all those witch hunts‽ Gotcha!
Actual Medieval People: We... the Pope literally banned witch hunting in 1080 because it was a backwards primitive practise best left in the past. The people who do believe in witches and practice pagan beliefs are heretics. The inquisition is going after heretics.
Modern Fantasy Writers and Victorians: Then who's responsible for all those famous witch hunts????
Early Modern Era Renaissance and Enlightenment People: *tug awkwardly at their collars and try to slide out of the room without revealing their pitchforks*
Hello, anyone else want to dive down the "old books about embroidery" rabbit hole? They're free! They have pictures! (We found a plate of a Katherine Parr book cover **star eyes**)
Another for my collection of animating spirited ladies from the Victorian tabloids; in this case, a man is "forcibly framed" after posing as an artist to lure in models.
One of the best things in life, is to find a friend who's as into something as you are. 💗
Here's a doodle of Sally and Sebastian having fun discussing their favourite book series. :3
Read IN BLOOD WE RISE today! Good distraction. *nodnod*
Oh yeah! I made a tumblr community for IBWR too! [LINK]
Im not sure what they're for yet, but we'll figure it out together, I'm sure! :)

Also, interesting note on Lucy’s condition. Stoker is actually subverting what was a common trope in that time period.Â
It was a common for characters in novels to fall ill, often from tuberculosis, which had similar symptoms as what Lucy is experiencing- paleness, loss of energy, difficulty breathing. A victorian reader would quickly recognise these symptoms, and the trope they are suggesting.Â
But in this case, nope, it’s not that rascally consumption this time, Lucy’s got a case of the vampires, lads.
it truly is crazy that people treat TB like it's some old timey eradicated gothic disease consigned to the dark Victorian past, (not only did the Victorians romanticize it but people still do for some reason) and here I am like, my mother had it in the 2000s, she had to have a part of her lung taken out, it's unfortunately still a problem and does also have a latent form....
