Jack: Van Helsing and I, the definitely-for sure canniest minds of the team, are keeping a close watch on Mina for signs of too much visible vampiritis. If her teeth get too pointy we'll sadly have to break out the stake and saw maneuver, as his been discussed and demonstrated to the entire group via Lucy and our Dracula plans. Thank goodness Harker is totally oblivious to our suspicions! Isn't that right, Harker?

Jonathan 'Spent Two Months in Vampire Hell, Fresh from Watching All His Allies Swear to Murder His Wife If She Got Too Dracula'd, Has Been Sleeping with Said Wife Every Day/Night, Has Not Let Go of His Giant Fuckoff Knife Since October 3rd' Harker, whetting the kukri until it's an atom wide as he casually takes stock of everyone's throats: No sir :) Haven't even the tiniest inkling :)

Jack: Excellent, you just keep those cold hands steadily sharpening that knife and stay ignorant to our tragic-wise machinations

Jonathan: Will do :)

#Quincey; in his laconic mental journal: 'So Jack and the professor are gonna fucking die if I don't keep an eye on this shit' #I said it last year I'll say it again #Jack would be the first one to die in a horror movie #'Harker would lose his nerve if he knew what we were considering!' #MY GUY HE WAS FUCKING SITTING THERE IN RAGE-GRIEF TEARS WHEN YOU ALL PROMISED TO KILL HER #HE IS IN THE SAME ROOM/BED AS HER 99% OF THE TIME #RENFIELD IS WHEEZE-LAUGHING AT YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE #THIIIIIIIIIIINK! #jack seward #jonathan harker #mina harker #dracula #re: dracula #dracula daily

Chet and Ashton's "you should leave" conversation from episode 78 because it's a highlight in a really strong episode

#also bc there's a lot of discourse and mean stuff said at Chet or Ashton over this that doesn't.... seem to correctly remember what was said #“I killed things. And I hurt people‚ a lot” “Well I'm glad you stopped” is a really standout exchange here #Chetney when he gets terse and laconic is like oh we be in it folks #I'll save my actual thoughts on the scene for a post that I have to write tomorrow bc I have a stream later that I haven't prepped for #Chetney Pock O'Pea #Ashton Greymoore #Critical Role things #Critical Role #CR spoilers

For the 5 sentence prompt if you feel like it:

Fire cascaded down the mountains.

First the plains burned. Then the forests. The rivers. Hope itself.

Amid the flames: laughter and screams and hoofbeats.

Me when Norse Era!Kratos says “In my homeland…” and get tidbits about his Greek heritage, from playing the lyre to reading poems and loving olives:

THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT MY FELLOW WRITERS

I was tagged by @adevilyoudo @djmorn and @flamemittens! Thank you!!

Last book I read: I don't remember the last book that I actually finished for pleasure lol.

Greatest literary inspiration: I... I guess cinema and history?

Things in my current fandom I want to read but I don't want to write: Dead doves.

Things in my current fandoms I want to write but I think nobody would be interested in them but me: Maybe something about Ida and Raphael's daughter.

You can recognize my writing by:  Long chapters, as I've been told ;). Also the themes seem to be very similar, no matter for what fandom I write. Loss of autonomy, a lot of introspection, the protagonist being "sucked" into a system that hates her, etc.

My most controversial take (current fandom): Mmm...I have plenty for every fandom I'm in, but I think I'll keep them private.

Top three favourite tropes: Hurt/comfort (especially emotional), developing relationship, codependency.

What’s your current writing mood (10 – super motivated and churning out words like crazy, 0 – in a complete rut): At the moment, 10. How long would that last? No way to tell.

Share a random frustration: The church bells... The church bells that don't let me sleep...

No pressure tags for @judithmactir @illusivesoul @tantive404 @nightlist

#yk some of these questions were really hard #so forgive the laconic or confused answers xD #tag game #thanks for the tag!

Quincey Morris: *says anything*

Bram Stoker:

#dracula daily #dracula memes #to be entirely honest I haven’t even looked up what the word means #we’re dozens of entries deep into the laconically descriptors #and I’m still just guessing the meaning #maybe one day I’ll look it up

Here is something I hope for with the Fallout TV series. That the first season was all about introducing people to the world and doing fan service for Fallout 3 & 4 fans. And in season 2 its going to focus far more on Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas. That we get an NCR revival arc, learn Yes Man has ran NV into the ground, see Super Mutants like Marcus again and have Legate Lanius come in as the new big bad for the series.

I hope they get better writers

#sorry for being laconic. i just dont have any hope for the show i think it was a mistake to make it how it was made.

Dear Tumblr,

Today I've learned that "laconic phrases" are blunt and concise statements that convey lots of meaning.

The term "Laconic phrase" is named after the Greek region of Laconia, where the Spartans live.

And the Spartans are known masters of dry humor and pithy comebacks.

It's all coming together.

Love,

The Pen

Sometimes people follow me because I write image IDs sometimes and they do too, which always strikes me as a bit of a gamble on their part. I'm not for everyone.

#I am also not confident I am any good at writing image descriptions or that they have ever helped someone who needed them for accessibility #but my feeling is I'm probably not doing any harm and people can always reblog from somewhere else in the chain #if I've made a Disastrous Error in how I've described something #I am a lot more laconic with them than I used to be #on the logic that it's quicker for a screen reader to get through and if I can do it without losing the meaning of the image #then brevity is probably good #and like again if I'm wrong then at worst I'm doing a bad job of something no one asked me to do

actually. put in the tags what your texting style is like (as far as capitalization, punctuation you tend to use, abbreviations, etc.) and whether you think it's accurate to the way you speak

#thinkin abt ellipses post #i had this post in my drafts for a while but i guess i deleted it? huh #but me personally i tend to use a lot of abbreviations. some punctuation as needed. the cool double space i use instead of commas #sometimes there's emphasis in caps for when i raise my voice #um... change it up as needed to mirror whoever im talking to... not a conscious thing i swear #anyways its more prominent in chats bc im more laconic there but yeah i type how i speak #very monotone and generally not much at once #and oops! accidental homestuck post alert #actually thinkin abt it more im more expressive online in person its the monotone for me

This is a page from my book, Laconic.

I wrote this when I got back into therapy as I started to do poorly again.

At the time, I wasn’t healing; I was stalling.
