The Scholomance of European folklore was an infamous school of black magic located somewhere underground in Transylvania. Satan was the headmaster, and classes taught such sorcery as the speech of animals and weather control. In the original novel, Dracula was a student.

Avec 45M € de budget, le #Dracula de Luc Besson est le film français le plus cher de l’année.
En 2024, ces blockbusters français (aux budgets dépassant les 10M €) ont mobilisé plus d’un demi-milliard €. Mais le cinéma hexagonal peine à s’imposer hors de nos frontières, depuis le flop de « Valérian » du même Besson

¿¿Cómo puede ser que la nueva película de #LucBesson se va a estrenar sólo en un cine hipster de la Roma????
Pero eso es cómo que una película de Derbéz se estrenara sólo en una sala de la cineteca, como proyecto especial de Amrrrte
No lo entiendo

Create a multiple choices poll listing 3 books you personally consider “classics” and ask others to choose the ones they have read. Create a fourth option for None of the Above.

Self-promotion day. Show us what you're proud of. Let's boost away.
I have mostly written original fiction in German, but also some fanfictions in English. Ever wanted to read a romantic and #queer twist on "Dracula", with #polyamory?
How about my fanfiction "Dracula's Lovers"? More about it here:

A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!
ApobangpoPixelcats⁷ (@pixelcats@apobangpo.space)@Erzbet @girlbandgeek@mastodon.social @abuelaskpop @planetnine@mastodon.social I agree so much, .. but I would also hate to see the gatekeepery, condescending vibe that goes on in many fandom spaces leak over into this space. History is important. Culture and etiquette are also important. But, our ways of being evolve and grow, too. We have a range of eras of fans here, and all ways of stanning are valid.

Someone watch this for me, because I can't with video and I want to cry bc it looks utterly amazing
Another print that's on sale with Derby Museums Shop for their 'Dracula Returns to Derby' exhibition (on until 30th May 2026). A little spooky apothecary scene complete with a hand of glory, skull and a jar of eyeballs (you can never have too many spare eyeballs).

I have this very funny Rom Com Gay Dracula novella, and I’ve been researching publishers. I don’t understand why publishers seem to really not like publishing novellas so much. I get it that it’s a lot of work to produce a book, including the audiobook, and things like that, but it’s incredibly frustrating because I know there are readers that would love to read a book like this even if it is a Novela #Books #Gay #Publishing #Dracula @romanceLandia
