Vlad the Impaler

Guys. Follow her. She is literally the most bomb person ever! I was struggling with this annoying guy at work and I was just talking to her about it and she came up with the best come back ever. Like she completely destroyed him!

Literally the best friend ever! The coolest!

Although I have impaled my fair share of women and children, I have to agree with this statement. The feminization of men disgusts me.

Grow a pair and act like a man. Don't hit a woman, hold the door for her, buy her some flowers. Share your wealth with her, if she is your wife she is a part of you. The two of you are one.

Make her feel safe and cared for. Maybe get off your butt, turn off your video game and learn a useful skill like plumbing, carpentry, handywork, vehicular maintenance, hunting, fishing, dressing and cooking what you've killed... something... be a man's man. If you can't do anything a traditional man can do, don't expect any attention from a woman. If I were a woman I wouldn't waste my time with you.

If the only skill you have is playing video games, you're pathetic and I'm disappointed in you. I'd personally impale you.

I've decided to restart it because the thread was pretty long 😂

1- I have a small scar under my right eye because I accidentally yote myself onto my bed headboard when I was like 2

2- I was fucking amazing at playing the recorder back in elementary school. I loved that shit

3- I'm studying general science in college. For the sake of my sanity I decided to go through the program over 3 years instead of 2. Might add some art classes in there too!!

4- I had like, actual anxiety problems as a child? I actually had to see a professionnal while in school because of that for a short while. I still had social anxiety at the beggining of highschool and while I still,, hate social interactions I got a L O T better.

5- Ive designed a few things for stuff in my small town a few years ago. For exemple I drew something for like.. these paper things that you put under plates? Yeah I made a design for those during an event. I also made the original design of a small mural for an elementary school. It was used for a climbing wall (the design was fixed up a bit by a profesionnal then we made the thing during art class in highschool)

6- The only life goal I have so far is to get two orange cats, and call them Naruto and Macaroni.

Tagging time:

1. I raise coturnix quail for meat and eggs. I have birds that come from both American and German bloodlines. And yes, I do... process them.. myself.

2. I love nature, I’d rather be outside in the woods any day. I spent a lot of my childhood out exploring the creeks, swamps, and sand pits behind my house.

3. As a kid I had most of my teeth pulled (not all at once, over a few years). My baby teeth had roots... and they didn’t want to come out... I also bit the dentist hard enough to rip his glove and draw blood.

4. I’d like to buy a cabin and a nice plot of land one day, maybe have some livestock. I don’t have grandiose plans, just something plain and simple. I’d be happy with a garden.

5. I love boats and ships, I love being out on the water, but I HATE being in the water. I don’t like the feeling, and I refused to learn to swim till I was probably 16.

6. Hmm.. For better or for worse, I have very vivid dreams. I don’t always remember them, but they do serve as a wonderful source of inspiration.

Ok tags.. you don’t HAVE to do this obviously, but it was fun :)c

I’d love to have a cabin in the woods one day, mainly so I can live my antisocial witchy life in peace.

A bit of a darker turn but in 2014-mid 2015 I was hospitalized for severe self harm and attempted suicide.

Going along with number two I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

I’m agender or non binary. I don’t really care what you call me because I don’t know what to call me.

I’m panromantic asexual. I prefer hugs and cuddles over sex any day, and along with that I don’t really have a sex drive due to previous medications.

I’m only 5ft tall so my guitar looks fucking huge next to me. But seriously I’m only 5ft and I own platform boots just so I can feel tall.

6 random facts...

I'm a female and I identify as a woman but I don't tend to care about societal norms so much. I love makeup and high heels and colorful dresses but I love a nice power suit or going target shooting at a range.

I'm a hunter.

I'm an adrenaline junkie, my favorite sport so far is skydiving but it's too expensive for me to do very often.

I moved out of my parents home at the age of 20.

I keep exotic pets including a fish, a corn snake, 2 reticulated pythons, 5 tarantulas, a scorpion, and an iguana.

Finally, I enjoy history. I research anything and everything and write person essays on the topics I research that included in text citations, citations, and even an annotated bibliography. They are just personal essays.

Outside of the occasional person bluffing that they read the Stoker novel by talking about how the “Love story” between Mina and Dracula is “one sided” (when there is no love story in the novel at all between them…)  is the following…

Here it goes, so buckle up.

First the history:  You’ll need to know this first.  The name Dracula comes from Vlad III of Wallachia AKA Vlad Țepeș  (The Impaler).  Țepeș is not a surname (despite what Castlevania did with it.)  It just means “Impaler” and Vlad never signed his name with it. 

Vlad is a nickname, by the way.  The full name he signed was “Vladislaus” (Originally spelt as Wladislaus).   

(“Latin” Vlad signatures archived at the National Museum of Romanian History.  Yes, he signed his name multiple different ways based on who he was addressing.  There’s a more blocky version in an alphabet I can’t actually read, intended for fifteenth century Wallachian readers.)   

Vlad’s House name was actually Bassarb but when his boyar (noble) cousins betrayed his father and older brother (causing their deaths) he renounced the house name and took on the patronymic surname of Dracula (archaic spellings such as Drakulya).   

Vlad’s father, Vlad II was a member of the Order of the Dragon ( Latin: Societas Draconistarum, direct translation: “Society of the dragonists.”).  Vlad II referred to himself proudly as Dracul.   Even though in modern Romanian Dracul now means Devil, in the fifteenth century it was closer to the Latin Draco and more often than not used to mean dragon.  

Dracula means “Little dragon” or “Son of the Dragon.” the “A” at the end gives this distinction.   (This is part of why it annoys me when people call the vampire Dracul.   No, that’s his Father, if you’re using the Vlad the Impaler backstory).

It’s true that in modern Romanian Dracula now means “Son of The Devil” but in the fifteenth century the word was closer to “Dragon” than “Devil.”    

It is through this chosen surname that Dracula changed his house to  Drăculești (House of the dragon) and renounced his cousins and their name, Bassarb.      Anyway, I was on IMVU role playing as Dracula (this was in 2010 or so, so this was a good nine years ago).   I was on as CountVladDracula and someone sent me a message proudly informing me that Dracula means “Devil.”  I politely corrected them that in the fifteenth century it was more often used to mean son of the dragon and the chosen surname of Vlad the Impaler because of his and his father’s membership to The Order of the Dragon.    

Instead of accepting this correction I got a reply of “You’re American.  Americans don’t travel so you don’t know what you’re talking about.  I’m Romanian so I should know. It’s my language after all and it always meant Devil!”  

You would think this would be a one time incident but on a short lived Tumblr RP account I got a similar message just two years ago.  Yet again it was from a “real Romanian” “correcting me” that the name “means Son of The Devil” and the irony?  It was in response to a very long post talking about The Order of The Dragon…

No words can adequately honor or convey the gratitude for the sacrifices our military men, women & their families have made.

“ Thank you” doesn’t seem like enough…..even a little tacky! Honor them by being the best “You” can be!

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT 

i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and. 

HE GONE. 

WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL.
