Rules Of The Vampire with Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi
Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) and Viago (Taika Waititi) from ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ dispel the most common lies about vampires.
THE DAILY PIC (#1349): This lovely
1937 blender was conceived by designer Peter Muller-Munk shortly after
he set up shop in Pittsburgh. It will appear in the Muller-Munk survey that launches Nov. 21 at the Carnegie Museum of Art in that town, and that I just covered (briefly) in the New York Times.What
interests me about this object, in particular, is the one tiny,
spinning blade that we can just make out at its center. It made me
realize how very basic the demands of function can be in design (a
blender just needs a blade and a tube for it to spin in) and how little
they really condition the look of a thing.The idea that function
and form are or need to be closely related is probably mostly myth;
every designer, no matter how functionalist, has vast latitude in the
look that he or she gives to an object.Muller-Munk’s “Blendor,
Model B” comes at a lovely moment when decoration and use are in
particular tension: The appliance’s roots in Art Deco ornament are
perfectly clear, but so are its leanings toward the machine-age
esthetics of the new, streamlined “Moderne” style. Whether it matters or
not to how we blend drinks, Muller-Munk’s piece looks like it would
pass any wind-tunnel test. (Private collection; photo, Dallas Museum of Art)The Daily Pic also appears at ArtnetNews.com. For a full survey of past Daily Pics visit blakegopnik.com/archive.
I want a story about an Italian vampire.
No romance, no action.
Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”
TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing
have you ever met an Italian man
the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc
#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???
fanfiction should be taken a lot more seriously as literature. True, some of it isn’t really excellent writing and some is just smut but let me tell you i have read some fics that are beautifully well done and turned my life upside down and legitimately gave me feelings for days and if that’s not real literature then what is
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who don’t or can’t write the 50k fan-fictions, because of a lack of focus or motivation, or mental illness.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who don’t or can’t write smut, but are still lumped into a group that is almost expected to write smut.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who can’t update chapters frequently for maybe a multitude of reasons, and get messages daily from people asking for “their” new chapter.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who aren’t big name fans and hardly get ten kudos or one comment on their fan-fictions.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who stay up all night editing and rewriting and don’t get much attention on their work no matter how much they feel like they promote their writing.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who don’t write a lot and are constantly asked to write more but can’t for whatever valid reason they have.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers who have the courage to post their writing online and only have it publicly made fun of for grammar or poor characterization.
Shout-out to fan-fiction writers for writing their fan-fiction, posting it online, and continuing to do it no matter how much or little attention they get, and constantly improving as a writer with every upload.
You all rock.
