This is my answer to “where do you see yourself in five years?” Ca. 1898. Source.
i'm begging tumblr users who couldn't name an evil woman to read the locked tomb because in just a short list of the insane amount of characters in these books there is (out of context spoilers ahead)
butch who's never experienced any affection so she becomes willing to do anything to be needed including becoming a fascist regime's specialest little boy
200 dead babies, trying to justify killing 200 babies to make her by brutally suppressing any weakness or vulnerability in herself
the incest twins from every problematic 2000s anime played entirely straight as to how fucked up both of them would be
woman who has a baby for the purpose of bashing its head against a rock and using its blood to kill 9 planets occupied with people
girl who lied to her boybestfriend, who shares her body, about his existence kind of eating her soul so they won't have to be apart
weapon with which to kill 9 planets filled with people, representative of 10 billion dead people and unceasing rage. Who looks like Barbie.
woman who stole g-d's sperm
woman who used her boybestfriend's body to fuck genocidal baby mama without said boybestfriend's knowledge (he was also fucking her)
cancer patient using her make a wish to kill g-d
Started some patch pants and needed a bigger pocket so I accidentally created a really big pocket
I'm happy with the outside and even happier about the inside since it's my first time doing any sort of lining
Oh and i accidentally overestimated how much fabric i would need for the sides so its about three inches wide-
I love it anyways. It's called a paperbag pocket if anyone wants to add one themselves
some fish embroidery i just finished :D
Have I only read Gideon the ninth? Yes. The locked tomb has invaded my brain however and will NOT let me go

grrm: I don't care how gay you make my books, just make sure you keep in all the dead toddlers
no but NOT ONLY does the Dracula novel explicitly show that the men's well-intentioned but extremely sexist decision to exclude mina because she is a woman makes her more afraid and unhappy and also puts her at risk BUT ALSO it shows that after they realize their mistake and start including her again she is actually noticeably happier, despite the dire circumstances, less worried AND she is able to meaningfully contribute to their efforts as a valuable member of the group, thus making them all stronger
it's so striking. many of the characters display very typical attitudes for the time that the book was written but the narrative...kinda doesn't. yes it was written in the 1890s so it's still dated by modern standards, but it makes a very conscious effort to question a lot of traditionalist attitudes and views that would have been prevalent at the time. like, the male characters all think that it makes sense that a woman's nerves would be too sensitive to participate in a vampire hunting mission...but the narrative does not validate this and in fact shows them to be wrong. and only when they change their behavior are they able to succeed.
Also notable that Jonathan is the first one to be able to injure the Count, and is ultimately the one who kills him. And he is the least traditionally masculine and most gender nonconforming of the male characters.
tldr lowkey in the books dracula was defeated with the powers of friendship feminism and gender nonconformity and I think we should talk about that more
