BSD SPOLIRS

BRAM DIED WTF

I came up with very simple

Mini game for chudpol. As I’ve previously said in my schizobabble I wanted to transform the site into arcade themed imageboard. This game is relatively based on mafia and I wanted to integrate the novel Shiki, both because I like the Toshio Ozaki arc and thought it would be nice touch to have vampires in mafia based setting.

Little biography, when I was young I enjoyed playing mafia on different sites, its very popular where I lived. I am sure also in Ukraine too, it even has ace attorney based server with lots of collected roles and I had lots of experience with Town of Salem and epicmafia, generally outside of games like Dark Souls and EUIV, it was one of major timewasters in summers.

The game is Vampyrs or something similar,

The mysterious foreigners migrate to a village. You must find and execute all of evil entities, aka vampires in the game.

Vampire - during day can speak limited amount of words, he can visit multiple places but slower pace/limited times, sending PMs doesnt waste wordcount. During night he can decide to hunt with other vampires, removing villager.

Dhampir - half-vampire who doesn’t have same limitations, he is the same as normal human in that regard, at night he can choose to kill with others and choose to visit places and do certain actions. He is assistant to vampires in that regard, for example he can dig a grave reviving another player.

The game consists of multiple places that villagers can change between, but it takes a form of interactive chat, I want to go budget easy so.

Villagers have simple roles of lynching during day, they can choose not to and detectives can find alignment of characters doctors can treat patients that have been bitten and some villagers have % to turn into vampire, it is casual in difficulty sense. Hope you enjoy that idea, it will be themed though.

Absolutely foul of Asagiri to tease us with this omake

VRYINF

I finally read the newest BSD chapter

And

I'm just gonna freak out under the cut and give my long ass ramble cause-

HOLY SHIT??? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION SCENE ANIMATED?? PRAYING IT DOESN'T GET BOTCHED! 🙏🙏

AND ALSO BRAM LIKE?? KNOWING THAT SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING TO HIM BEFORE HAND AND WARNING AYA?? HE CALLED HER PRINCESS 😭

ALSO BRAM IS DEAD?? A TRIPLE SINGULARITY? Fyodor was practically sizing Bram up in the past?? Like "Hm yes, you'll make a wonderful body some day" Both Dazai and Chuuya are on the other side of the planet and Fyodor basically teleported back to Japan and I can't stop thinking about how

Dazai told Fyodor that Atsushi was his most valuable/powerful pawn, didn't he? I think so and NOW FYODOR IS WITH HIM AND DAZAI ISN'T. MAN I'M KINDA SCARED. Fyodor and Dazai think very similarly which means that Fyodor might want to use Atsushi for something?? Dazai didn't explicitly say who his pawn was, but because of how similarly the two think, Fyodor probably guessed. Sigma and Atsushi have a few similarities (Two toned hair - Two toned eyes. White hair - White hair. Both where black and white primarily. Dazai even refers to Sigma as "The Atsushi type" C'MON!) and Fyodor was using Sigma... So how does our main character fit into his plan if at all?

I just- I can't- I have too many thoughts we'd be here for literal hours so I'm going to stop typing and sit in the corner for a while.

Oops

It looked kinda cool without lineart

Mmm

Decay of angels sketch but something looked off about it so I never finished it

i stumbled across your post about bran castle and it got me thinking maybe the entrance has changed over the years?

Hi there! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention :)

Renovations and the layout changing completely skipped my mind when i made the original post, so I did some digging for you to find out if anything has changed with Bran Castle’s entrence over the year.

For starters I look into the history of the castle itself, and found a lot of information about it going through many renovations in order to repair the castle, due to it once being used as a military stronghold.

So for the most part nothing crazy, and we know that Bram Stoker never actually visited the castle either before or during the writing of Dracula.

Moving on I decided to look less at the history of the castle itself, and more specifically at any drastic changes to the castle itself.

The main source I could find on the entrence moving was Adventure Transylvania, and yes! The entrance did move!

The only issue is that because Bran Castle was used for fighting purposes, from what we know about the old bridge, it was absolutely not suitable for say, a carriage holding fan favorite British real estate agent Johnathan Harker.

Moving on, on the post itself you mentioned that Bran Castle has a courtyard, and while this is true surprise surprise there’s an Issue™️.

This is the quote in the book where Johnathan first describes the courtyard.

“In the gloom the courtyard looked of considerable size, and as several dark ways led from it under great round arches, it perhaps seemed bigger than it really is.”

Let’s start with the accurate parts about this:

1. There’s a courtyard. Good job

2. There are arches in the courtyard

And that’s it.

The courtyard itself isn’t that big, and due to something we’ll get to later, in no way could have a carriage drive around in it.

Since there’s no records of the dimensions of Bran Castle (and trust me I’ve LOOKED), I’ve used the magic of the google earth ruler to measure the courtyard. By itself that seems large but when the average courtyard is approximately 3,000ft^2, it’s 100% on the small size.

As for the other reason…

There’s a massive step/divide in the courtyard and a well

So yeah TL;DR the castle entrance did move, but it’s never been carriage accessible and neither is the courtyard :)

The new BSD chapter is about to make me have my fisheye moment I swear.

The speed that Jonathan just accepts Count Dracula can climb walls is so funny to me.

First time: HOLY SHIT HE'S LIKE A LIZARD THIS IS INSANE MY MIND IS MELTING HE'S NOT HUMAN WHAT HORRIBLE ABOMINATION IS MY CAPTOR???!!!

Second time: Cunt Dracy doin his lizard shit again fml

I love in Lucy’s letter to Mina she says “but you must keep it a secret, dear, from every one, except, of course, Jonathan” so glad he passed the bestie test and is allowed to know the secrets

I remember starting dracula last year and being like what is this why is it just this random man's travel diary, and it's funny to see now how my attitude has changed and I am so excited to read this man's travel diary, like hell yeah dude tell me what time you got to the train station I love you

Another email from our good friend Jonathan and I'm beginning to think it's not the paprika making him feel odd.

At least he’s staying positive!

PAPRIKA

Americans don’t wear cowboy hats all the time? What’s the point then?

I just met Jonathan Harker for the first time! He seems so nice, I certainly hope nothing heinously awful happens to him. Wishing him well on his little train trip.

I've loved this book for years, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be liveblogging like I did the last two times, or at least all throughout this year's run. Still, I'll definitely be reading along all the same! And for any first readers, enjoy!

Today we say goodbye to ramen hair Justin, but very soon we'll say hello again to our good friend Jonathan Harker

oh boy I hope my good friend Jonathan Harker has a good trip this year

Tumblr is a mainly digital art run place (in terms of the art community) so I do feel semi out of place because I'm a traditional artist but I randomly dabble in digital art (y'all I'm struggling 🙏) aaaand I drew Bram :D idk lol this was fun to make though
