Pro tip! If someone ever says they would fuck their own clone, you can make the conversation different by saying you’d also fuck their clone.

Looking at Scandinavian interior design and thinking about how much cooler the world would be if the nordic countries took the South American approach to decor

Apparently white walls and light wood are good for reflecting light (true) and the intentionality and simplicity is partly a reflection of agrarian poverty. But I’m just saying. What if these guys used the extra darkness hours to go insane and paint indoor murals that they regretted in May

EXACTLY and they have perfect folklore for this! It should be a normal christmas tradition wake up at 1PM in the dark because you missed today’s 16 minutes of sun, and across from you is a pile of empty aquavit bottles and a living room wall about Fenrir’s top surgery or some shit

Ive got splendid news!

This used very much to be tradition (trademark for norway) and is called rosemaling (meaning “rose painting”, so mostly floral and not mythological, but still painted all over the interior!).

It’s very cool!

Why newer schools of interior design went away from it I don’t know, it’s too bad.

All you need to know about Norwegian rosemaling - Routes North

Rosemarling is traditional wood painting and carving from the Norwegian valleys. Read on to find out all about Norwegian rosemarling.

Routes North

Throwback to the time I stood inside a reconstruction of Cappelenstugu, a house where every single surface was painted with rosemaling, and nearly burst into tears because it’s so fucking beautiful. The pictures I can find on the museum website don’t quite do it justice, but it’s just. staggering. artist Olav Hanssen did this around 1800, in an enclosed space without reliable strong artificial light, and covered every single surface in gorgeous, intricate artwork (featuring Adam and Eve hiding after eating the apple, among other things).

I feel like 90% of “ancient curses” are probably adequately explained by the fact that the self-proclaimed adventurers who ostensibly fell victim to them were, as a class, a bunch of dipshits who engaged in frequent international travel in an era before antibiotics and vaccines. Like, the list of novel pathogens these guys were risking exposure to on a regular basis was effectively “all of them”. That’s gotta leave a mark.

@mytheralmin replied:

The other 10%, well let’s just say the sand got them

Quite likely, if by “the sand got them” we mean “they got mesothelioma from inhaling tomb dust”.

if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with the pharaoh’s curse

Excluding the crucial fact that office jobs pay you an income….if staying home to raise children and do chores and bake bread was really so much easier and more joyful than working in an office on some objective level, why aren’t men doing it? Why aren’t they chomping at the bit to be ~leisurely house husbands~ to a working wife? Why aren’t they stepping up to depend solely on someone else’s income in exchange for round-the-clock domestic labor, if it’s really as blissful and their propaganda suggests? Curious.

Thank you! This is such an important reminder.

The Dracula Ballets

And Where to Watch Them

Dracula by Michael Pink: Originally staged in 1997, this ballet’s plot is the closest to the novel. Seward does not appear in this version, his role being merged with Van Helsing’s. Notable for eeriely beautiful and sometimes brutal choreography, the Harker and Dracula pas de deux, Renfield dancing in a straitjacket, and Quincey dancing briefly with a rifle.

Watch it here.

Dracula by Krzysztof Pastor: This version of Dracula portrays Mina as the reincarnation of the count’s late wife, similar to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. That film’s score is also used in this ballet. Quincey does not appear in this version. Notable for Renfield’s haunting dances, one of which he somehow manages while tied to other patients, Dracula’s creepy servants, the Dracula Jonathan Tango, and an onstage blood transfusion.

Watch it here.

Dracula: The Romantic Ballet by Ben Stevenson. This ballet is set entirely in Transylvania with a new cast of characters. Besides Dracula, the mortal leads are villagers Flora and Svetlana, and Svetlana’s suitor Frederick. Notable because this ballet wants you to know that Dracula fucks: he not only has his ever present brides, but an entire harem to go along with them. He even has locals employed in bringing maidens to his castle. Also this Dracula has seemingly human servants who are fine with it all, I guess.

Watch it here.

Dracula by David Nixon. This ballet intends to portray Dracula as a more ambiguous, nuanced creature. As Nixon puts it, ‘All creatures need to be loved and the love that Dracula shares with Mina transcends the boundaries of good and evil.’ Quincey does not appear in this version. Notable for the creepiest Old Dracula ever seen in anything (with the fun nervous habit of biting himself when he’s trying not to bite others), a Seward and Renfield dance, and vampire brides with Christina Aguilera in “Lady Marmalade” hairstyles.

Watch it here (ignore the title and video description, they are incorrect).

Kont Dracula by the Turkish State Opera and Ballet. This is a 2013 adaptation for which I can find no information or video. If you know of a recording of this performance, please comment.

The Polish National Ballet uploaded a 4k version of Kyzysztof Pastor’s Dracula two weeks ago.
