Please give us som Vlad headcanons!!! :)
Oh boy, you're gonna wish you'd never asked 😆 Long post ahead
🎧 Vlad is a huge fan of 80s synth-pop and new wave. Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, a-ha, and New Order, to name just a few.
🎵 On a similar (quarter) note, music from the late 70s and early 80s is still difficult for him to listen to because it reminds him of the years he was pining for Maddie, the accident, and being hospitalized. Mid-80s music and beyond, when he began to take his life back and build his wealth and power, is his "good old days" music.
🎹 Another music headcanon: In Familiar, I hinted at Vlad being a pianist. I think he'd look pretty hot playing a saxophone, maybe even a trumpet. And Martin Mull is a pretty good guitarist and singer, so Vlad also having those talents would be really cool. But I like to believe that Vlad plays the geekiest, dorkiest, nerdiest, most Slav-coded instrument of all: the accordion. Just imagine him torturing Danny and Sam and Tucker with polka music and ballads about cheese while on a camping trip. Maybe Wulf howling in agony from somewhere in the woods.
🧀 Yeah, he’s basically the negaverse equivalent of Weird Al.
👂 Vlad got his ear pierced in the mid-90s.
🔥 Despite being a fire specter ("having a fire core", to use the phandom terms), Vlad loves the cold. Winter is his favorite season, Christmas his favorite holiday. A bit of a spoiler for either chapter 13 or 14 of Familiar: Vlad is a superb ice skater.
💔 Besides his mother, Maddie was the only woman Vlad ever loved.
🐄 Vlad grew up the son of a poor Wisconsin dairy farmer. His mother was a first-generation Romanian* immigrant. He was the first member of his family to go to college, and on a full scholarship. He has no siblings. (*I may adapt Vlad’s nationality depending upon the story/art/situation, but generally I like to HC him as Romanian, which you can see on his backpack here in this AU.)
👊 Vlad was a victim of bullying in his teen years. Because of his first name and his ethnicity—not to mention his appearance and disposition: skinny, gangly, "ugly", shy, nerdy, poor—Halloween was always a miserable time for him: getting pelted with plastic vampire fangs in the hallways at school; cruel nicknames like "Count Vladislob" or "Vladis-louse"; racist remarks about his Romani mother; "Bleh bleh! I vant to suck your bluud!" It was awful.
✌️ Because he spent so many years being made to feel ashamed of his unusual name, when he became rich and successful after obtaining his ghost powers, he put his name and initial everywhere. V for Vlad.
🏈 Vlad got his love of Green Bay from his father. Apart from a shared surname, it was one of the only two (2) things he and his dad had in common.
🔧 Working on farm machinery like tractors and hay balers was the other. Vlad and his dad would often fix the farm equipment themselves rather than hire a mechanic—mostly out of necessity. Vlad is still pretty good with a monkey wrench, though in college his focus shifted from engineering to physics after meeting Jack and Maddie.
🚀 Vlad grew up in the sixties. Space race, the moon landing, the Cold War. Every kid his age had space fever. Vlad was no exception. His bedroom walls were a collage of stars, rockets, shuttles, astronauts, and cosmonauts. Yuri Gagarin was his hero. He wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. (Just like Danny.)
🩸 I mentioned this on another post, but I'll add it here, too: Vlad's obsession with gaining more power stems from the trauma and weakness he experienced when he was hospitalized. He made a vow to never be that helpless again.
🪦 Both of Vlad's parents were dead by the time he got out of the hospital. He was estranged from the rest of the Masters family and therefore had no one to turn to.
👶 Because of this, Vlad became obsessed with having a family of his own. Ironically, the accident sterilized him. He will never be able have biological children.
🍪 Some of Vlad’s happiest memories are baking with his mother. He had (and still does have) quite a sweet tooth—and a penchant for cooking.
#annnd i think that's a good place to stop. for now#danny phantom#vlad masters#vlad plasmius#dp headcanons#meta#many of these ideas appear in familiar. so if they look ''familiar'' that's why#fic: familiar#asks

Crazy Rich Asians and Grandma Young
A few years ago, when I saw CRA in theaters, I remember being charmed by the extravagant costumes and setting, the concept of all Asian cast in a Hollywood romcom, and the Asian-American protagonist, Rachel Chu. Her fish out of water experiences among her fiancé’s Peranakan Chinese family in Singapore were very relatable. She is ethnic Chinese like them, but from a very different culture and country. I’ve had very similar experiences when visiting my relatives in China as a teenager: I was born in China but grew up in the US (since age 5), and all my aunties, uncles, and grandparents took every opportunity to bemoan my foreign mannerisms and cultural attitudes (despite the fact that I spoke and read Chinese fluently).
Sometime in high school and during college, I developed an academic interest in Chinese culture and diaspora history and did a lot of independent studying on the subject. And because of this knowledge, my immersion in CRA broke as soon as Rachel entered her boyfriend’s family home and I started watching a completely different movie.
We are told the boyfriend’s family, the Young family are among the oldest Singaporean families, emigrating from southern China in the 1800s. This makes them Peranankan, a community of people spanning Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia descended from Chinese merchants who settled there between the 1600s and 1800s and assimilated into malay culture, speaking a malay language as their native tongue. When the independent nation of Singapore was created in 1965, Peranankans were classified as ethnic Chinese along with the Southern Chinese immigrants of the 1900s, who spoke Hokkien (~70% of the Chinese immigrant population), Cantonese (the language spoken by Nick’s mother), Hainanese, Teochew, and Hakka as their native language. Mandarin was introduced to Singapore in 1920 through Chinese schools founded by immigrant teachers from the Republic of China (which chose mandarin as its official language) and slowly gained population among the educated classes in the Chinese immigrant and Peranankan community. Widespread fluency in mandarin did not happen until after Singaporean independence (1965), when mandarin was chosen as a “mother tongue” for all ethnic Chinese Singaporeans and mandarin classes became required in school.
But Nick’s grandmother speaks mandarin with a Beijing accent and makes northern Chinese dumplings! As soon as I heard the accent and saw the dumplings, I stopped paying attention to Rachel’s story and started to imagine the fascinating life Nick’s grandmother must have lived (I have not read the books and thus am working only with how she is depicted in the movie). She was probably born into a Beijing family, thus growing up with that strong Beijing accent and a fondness for northern Chinese dumplings. Her family probably gathered around the table to make dumplings to celebrate various holidays like Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice (a cultural tradition unique to northern China), so when they immigrated to Singapore in the late 1930s (sometime before World War Two, before the Japanese occupation of Beijing), she was in for a culture shock.
In the late 1930s, barely anyone outside her tiny northern Chinese refugee community would have spoken fluent mandarin, and as a young woman marrying into a wealthy and influential Peranankan family in the 1940s or 50s, she would have had to learn Malay (to speak to her elders), Hokkien (to speak to other women in the merchant class), and English (as was expected of an upper class lady, because of the British colonial legacy) in order to get by. English and Malay are in completely different language families. Her native Mandarin and the southern Chinese languages like Hokkien and Cantonese are part of the same language family and share a written script, but are as different as Spanish and Romanian. And their cultures, etiquette, customs, and cuisines were equally as different as Spanish and Romanian. The only dish she and her husband’s family shared in common was plain white rice. Peranankan and southern Chinese dishes would have been completely foreign food to this Beijing woman (especially in the 1940s and 50s, before globalization and cultural homogenization within China). No one in her husband’s family would have eaten northern Chinese dumplings as a comfort food. If they had never traveled to China for work or study abroad, she would have been the first to introduce them to this foreign comfort food. She would also have had to learn the foreign customs, culture, and etiquette of this perenankan family and the customs and cultures of the southern Chinese people who made up a majority of Singapore’s ethnic Chinese community.
By the time we meet her as an old lady in 2017, she is now the matriarch and Singapore has had decades of mandatory mandarin education, so everyone around her can speak mandarin to her and eat dumplings as a comfort food. But when she arrived in the Young family as a young bride, she was just as foreign to them as Rachel Chu.
(The casting of a Beijing mandarin speaker in the role of Nick’s grandmother may have been an unintentional mistake on part of the production, since the movie seems more interested in emphasizing the Chinese aspects of the Yeong family over their Singaporean / Peranankan heritage)

May 4 - Dracula 2023
When I came out for breakfast, the hotel concierge let me know that the count had contacted them to ensure I had the best seat in the bus over the mountains, which… Is there a best seat on a bus? I suppose one with a good view that lets you get out easily. I asked for more information, but they pretended not to understand, despite having answered all my questions earlier. When I used a translator to ask in Romanian, they said it came out as nonsense and still couldn’t answer me.
A little bit of checking showed that that was nonsense, but if they didn’t want to answer, such is life.
The front desk staff did look at each other quite nervously when I asked after Count Dracula. One of them crossed themselves, and the other assured me that they knew nothing at all, aside from what they were given when things were arranged. There wasn’t much for it. I went to gather my things, since it was nearly time to leave, but when I left the room again with my bags, one of them appeared at my door, a woman, her expression tight with fear.
“Must you go? Oh, must you go?” They spoke quietly, perhaps worried that their coworkers might overhear for some reason. Those phrases were most of what I got from her – Translate doesn’t exactly give one an understanding of the language. Eventually, after a lot of questions, she asked if I knew what day it was.
“The… fourth of May…?” I asked. I wasn’t quite sure where the line of questioning was going.
“Yes, but do you know what day it is?” She insisted, staring into my eyes with determination, as though this should be obvious.
I truly gave it some effort to figure it out – National Day in Romania was December 1st, I think, so it wasn’t that. No major holidays that I knew of, and she didn’t seem… positively inclined about the date, if I had to put a point on it. Finally, I shook my head. “I’m afraid I don’t follow.”
“It is the eve of St. George’s Day! Even around here, most people don’t remember much anymore that when the clock strikes midnight tonight, all evil things hold sway. And here… Do you know where you are going? To whom?” She asked, insistent, seeming in great distress with her fervor. “Please…! I will pay for tonight myself, if only you will not leave.” She reached out, taking my hand in a tight grip.
It was quite honestly very uncomfortable. I tried to assure her that it would be all right, but nothing I said seemed to help, since I couldn’t delay. Mr. Hawkins entrusted this task to me. I told her that – my work is imperative, and I couldn’t delay just for the sake of the date. I took my hand from her, as well, the grip almost having become painful in her panic.
She nodded and wiped her eyes, and allowed my hand to go. She took a crucifix from her neck and held it out to me. I wasn’t sure about it – religious or not, it feels odd to accept a crucifix as someone. She seemed to be able to tell and shook her head, pressing it into my hand.
“Please. For your mother’s sake,” she finally insisted, putting it around my neck herself.
How is one supposed to say no in a situation like that, with someone in such obvious distress? I just nodded, and she seemed relieved, but I was left uneasy. Maybe the crucifix made some of those old superstitions she brought up feel more real? Either way, I’m left waiting for the bus, mulling over what she said. I find my hand making its way to touch the crucifix around my neck – I can’t help but be aware of it.
I suppose, if something happens to me, Mina will have this blog. At least I can say I called her and heard her voice before we took off.
Here’s the bus!
(A/N: I had to make a few adjustments to these scenes to account for a less religious world and a more modern Romania. The Coronea de Aur (The Crown of Gold, I think) hotel is quite the modern business hotel in Bistrita, so it’s a very different setting to suddenly be reminded of the spookiness of the region in. England is also a good bit less religious than in the Victorian period, so I’m trying to subtly account for that, too.
I had to make a decision in this scene, because the book says it’s a crucifix specifically attached to a rosary, but uh... you don’t wear those around your neck for the most part, not casually when you’re not praying it. As far as I could find. Catholic people, feel free to correct me.
BTW, in the last chapter, Lucy technically has a more Mori Girl aesthetic board, but Jon doesn’t know the difference between that and cottagecore. She just seems like the sort of person who would.)
#Dracula daily#modern#retelling#just for fun#fanfic#in my head the front desk lady is a descendant from the one who would've given Jon the crucifix in the original novel#so its the same crucifix#dracula 2023

Did you know that March 1st means the beginning of spring, for Romanians, it is closely linked to the tradition of offering mărțișor, an ancient symbol celebrating the change of seasons and the rebirth of nature. Last year, a bill was even submitted to the Senate calling for 1 March, the day of the "Mărțișor", to become a national Romanian holiday. The aim was to promote the traditions associated with Marțișor. Only that Romania has already had this obligation since 2017 when the Mărțișor entered the select list of UNESCO intangible heritage. #martı #luxury #abundant #UNESCO #martisor #martisoare #gratitude #familienzeit #martisor #mărțișor (hier: Amsterdam Netherland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovZ8bwscNY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Polish president and other officials marked their nation’s Armed Forces Day holiday Monday alongside the U.S. Army commander in Europe and regular American troops, a symbolic show of support for NATO members on the eastern front as Russia wages war nearby in Ukraine.
Gen. Darryl Williams, the new commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, attended the ceremony in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in downtown Warsaw.
Nearby Polish children climbed on top of a U.S. and other other NATO tanks, helped by smiling American, British and Romanian soldiers.
Despite the festive atmosphere, Williams told The Associated Press that the U.S. presence was meant to deliver a message of “strength and resilience.”
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Polish president and other officials marked their nation’s Armed Forces Day holiday Monday alongside the U.S. Army commander in Europe and regular American troops, a symbolic show of support for NATO members on the eastern front as Russia wages war nearby in Ukraine.
Gen. Darryl Williams, the new commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, attended the ceremony in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in downtown Warsaw.
Nearby Polish children climbed on top of a U.S. and other other NATO tanks, helped by smiling American, British and Romanian soldiers.
Despite the festive atmosphere, Williams told The Associated Press that the U.S. presence was meant to deliver a message of “strength and resilience.”
Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak ahead of the ceremony told reporters: “Years pass, but one thing is constant — when Russia tries to rebuild its empire, it is always an evil empire. It always commits war crimes.”
Polish troops from the different branches of the armed forces paraded down a street lined with fluttering white-and-red national Polish flags, and Duda promoted new generals.
The military held picnics seeking to recruit volunteers into the armed forces amid a new sense of threat fueled by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
American troops have taken part before in the Aug. 15 celebration before but it is the first one since President Joe Biden announced at a NATO summit in late June that Washington was establishing its first permanent U.S. military presence in Poland — something Poland has long sought.
The newly named Camp Kosciuszko in Poznan, western Poland, is a shared Polish-U.S. base that becomes the permanent headquarters in Poland for the U.S. Army’s V Corps, and the easternmost U.S. Army base in Europe. Many of the American troops there, however, still serve on a rotational basis.
The base is named after Gen. Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a hero of the American Revolution who strengthened the fortifications of West Point, and who later returned to Poland to fight imperial Russian forces.
Maj. Kevin Andersen, a U.S. Army public affairs officer, said that troops are having trouble saying the name Kosciuszko (roughly pronounced koh-SHOOSH’-koh) and many have been calling it “Camp K” instead.
He said the Army has created a video helping the soldiers to learn to say it as a gesture of respect to Poland as it welcomes the Americans.
“For now it’s a lot of Camp K., but we’re really trying to convince the soldiers to pronounce the full Camp Kosciuszko,” he said.

me add - especially for custom orders and not like pre-made choices for you to pick from online. we know miss witchmother loves peonies - the romanian national flower. so it makes even more sense that they sent in the order way earlier, knowing, at least seb, will be busy weeks prior.//Ok anon,you made some valid points. I still think they are together for the holidays, maybe somewhere sunny. For Annabelle to no be present at Drew ' s party after she attended all her friends holidays parties this past month, it's a sign. But if they are together we will know. Someone will post a photo, video now or next month like usual. We should wait and see.

Great Union Day 2023
Date: December 1, 2023
Today’s annual Doodle celebrates Great Union Day, or Ziua Marii Uniri, in Romania! This holiday commemorates the unification of several different ethnic groups under one single banner. On this day in 1918, the National Assembly of Alba Iulia voted unanimously in favor of a greater union between Transylvania, Bessarabia, Bukovina, and the Kingdom of Romania.
As a result, the country was officially recognized by the international community and welcomed to the world stage. Romania’s territorial size nearly doubled, and its population increased by 10 million. The first ever celebration in Alba Iulia marked the end of years of struggle for self-determination, and instilled a sense of identity and unity among its diverse residents.
On Great Union Day, Romanians attend military parades, musical and dance performances, historical plays, and flag-raising ceremonies throughout the country. The blue, yellow, and red stripes of the Romanian national flag — like the one waving in today’s artwork — represent liberty, justice, and fraternity. Great Union Day acts as a symbol of their shared heritage and collective spirit, reminding them of their country's rich history and the importance of unity during times of challenge.
