Jonathan Harker, a man who only yesterday was physically and mentally obliterated by paprika, is largely unphased by the locals being very clearly disapproving of his decision to visit his cool new friend, DRACULA.
I know that it wasn’t as funny when it was written because it’s only funny because it’s such a well known book but I can’t help but lose it a bit at the phrase “your friend, DRACULA”
Concept: A series that starts off as an historical drama building towards some major event, like the assassination of Caesar or the crucifixion or something, where everyonein your audience knows what’s “supposed” to happen; and then it turns out in the first season finale that one of the characters is a time traveller on a mission to change history and they actually succeed, so it segues into a bizarre alternate history narrative in season 2.
And the hints are all there that this character is a time traveller from the first episode, but you don’t pay attention to them because you figure that it’s just the normal level of anachronism in historical dramas, like: “Wow, that person has surprisingly progressive views for the Victorian period” or “Ah, I don’t think they said ‘dude’ in the fourteenth century, lol.” And then they don’t know what they’re watching until it’s too late
Oh, I am HERE for this kind of shit
I love the opposite of this which is, in fact, the BBC Atlantis series where some madlad called Jason has a submarine accident and TIME TRAVELS back to Atlantis back in the day and then… they never mention that bit again.
hey im a couple years behind on the most cutting edge of lichen science, does anybody know if they’ve been able to create a genetically new lichen from known compatible lichen components in a lab yet or are the lads still getting away with it out there
Upon reading this post to my father who is a botanist heavily involved in lichen stuff: “Yes there have been a couple cases where the symbiote was created in a lab but it didn’t look natural. Pain in the ass to look up the paper right now though. Probably a cladonia lichen.”
“Yes there have been a couple cases where the symbiote was created in a lab but it didn’t look natural” absolutely terrifying lichen quote
“The party from Uppercross passing down by the now deserted and melancholy looking rooms, and still descending, soon found themselves on the sea-shore; and lingering only, as all must linger and gaze on a first return to the sea, who ever deserve to look on it at all …”
