I love how in the Dracula Daily fandom, we don’t say that we are beginning once again on May 3rd.

Rather, we say “my dear friend Johnathan is preparing for his upcoming trip. I hope he has such a wonderful time and that he brings back some delicious recipes :)”

And I think that’s beautiful

#coincidentally I AM GOING TO THE CARPATHIANS IN MAY. #Dracula daily #i am going to try Everything Johnathan Tries. #including scaling down a castle wall lizard fashion

BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 | Official Trailer | Netflix

#the only thing i don't like at all is the amount of makeup they're using on people #like the first season was incredibly well done #the makeup was so subtle #and now it's like FAKE LASHES EYESHADOW #aside from everything else #but other than that its good

It is never too late to learn to speak Irish.

You do not have to be Irish to speak Irish.

Once you're out of school, there is no grammar police and most people are just excited to have someone to speak Irish with.

Incorporating Irish words into your day when you're not fluent (I have to go to the leithreas, throw it in the bruscar, that's a gorgeous gúna) is an act of decolonisation.

Helping people to understand the language is an act of love.

Gaeilge go deo ❤️

I was going to vote for Grillparzer but one google search of Arthur convinced me he'd be THE man.

*I can't edit polls, his name should have one more e and be Wellesley
