You ever wonder how the modern image of vampires would differ if Bram Stoker had randomly picked a completely different noble rank for Dracula?

Baron Dracula?

Viscount Dracula?

Marquis Dracula?

[wherehipposdrome]

Or, how about anglicizing it into Earl Dracula? Fun fact: the abundance of evil counts in Gothic literature is 100% due to the foreignness of the title, because aristocracy is fine only as long as it’s our aristocracy. All foreign nobles are by definition decadent, degenerate, dissolute, and various other words starting with the letter d.

I’m sorry, but when I saw the phrase “Earl Dracula”, I had a sudden, vivid mental image of an AU where the Count gets staked, his curse gets automatically passed down the bloodline agnatic-style, and it turns out that the last scion of the house of Dracul is a NASCAR-watching, plaid-flannel-wearing good ol’ boy, who suddenly finds himself appointed the new Lord of Darkness.

See but this gives me an excellent mental picture of a musical montage of a Buffy-expy character hunting him down to the Dixie Chick’s seminal classic “Goodbye Earl”, and that is just wonderful.

Hell, if you’re gonna go that route, why not lift the plot from the song wholesale? The vampire hunter is the newly dubbed Count Earl’s ex-wife, and she teams up with her old highschool friend to take him down - just a couple of thirtysomething Southern gals against the vampire menace.

(For bonus points, have them hook up at the end like the song implies - everything’s better with lesbians, right?)

J'AIME MA GARE : JE VEUX LA GARDER

[onestenrepublique]

Hello, hello Tumblr.

Je sais pas si vous vivez dans une grande ville ou dans un petit village, mais vous devez bien savoir à quel point on dépend des transports aujourd’hui. Dans ma région, on supprime de plus en plus de trains. La SNCF dit qu’elle ne compte pas supprimer de gares, mais soyons honnêtes, quand on crée des conditions pour réduire le nombre d’usagers… disons que je ne lui fais pas confiance ! 

Ecologiquement c’est désastreux, on impose la voiture, et d’expérience, à long terme ça fait soit fuir les jeunes des campagnes, soit les condamne à rester entre eux seulement et hum. Hum. Je connais des gens de mon âge qui connaissent rien d’autre que ma commune.

So yeah, si vous pouviez signer ce serait cool. Bisous !

I still can’t figure off how to turn off the monthly compile time. It goes for like 7 days wrecks all the system and takes so much CPU time.

I got the wrong model, too, and there’s no returns or exchange policy. I’m trying to make do as best I can with aftermarket modifications, but even that’s a real bind. And then I have to deal with all the purists who try to tell me I should be happy with the model I was given.

[roachpatrol]

the beard texture takes FOREVER to load even WITH the aftermarket mods

[letitrainathousandflames]

so apparently you CAN have some nice add-ons to your current model but they’re all super expensive DLCs??

[thefreelancerdivision]

#people tend to quote the ‘if nothing we do matters’ speech in relation to fave angel-verse monologues  #but honestly i prefer this one  #the idea that to want to keep something that’s precious to you forever unchanged (either an object or event or for example life)  #and to want it to be forever the same for you  #is horrific  #HORRIFIC  #and the analogy of a held note - no matter how beautiful - being just noise unless it changes and ends  #and that change and loss and ending of things is not just a useful part of beauty but absolutely integral  #for the beauty to even exist#and to prolong and freeze something unchanging that you don’t want to ‘lose’ is to lose it irrevocably
