Iwasnt watching it. Time measurement for the everyman
Reminder that even if Dracula did know how to steer a ship, he can’t because the captain made sure to spite him by tying himself to the wheel with a cross. So I want y’all to consider the image of the captain mocking and roasting Dracula as he struggles to control the ship via the weather, letting out small talk to mock and belittle his otherwise intimidating presence. Dracula was exposed with all of Whitby to watch his clumsy attempt at sailing and judge him for it. As Castlevania puts it, in an exchange between a captain and a subordinate of Dracula who considers murdering everyone on the ship to use it for himself:
“Sailing a boat cannot be hard.”
“If it wasn’t hard, then why would sailors exist? Why would ships need crews?”
This logic ends up being convincing, and has the entire crew spared as a result. I wonder now if that entire bit was inspired by the writers questioning Dracula’s logic in killing the Demeter’s crew; They do reference Whitby at the end of Castlevania!
I wasn’t going to derail the disability pride month post for people with peanut allergies but in relation to that topic
I have never seen another allergy that has been so viscerally hated and mocked by people working in education like nut allergies. I’ve seen fellow teachers cringe that their classroom was the “nut free” classroom that year. Support staff that are trained and willfully don’t follow cross contamination protocol in the lunchroom because it’s too “tedious” or “time-consuming”. Full preschools + childcare centers that refuse to accommodate nut allergies. Schools where the only free lunch is a PB&J. Before/after school programs and summer programs whose food curriculum has nuts and doesn’t provide an alternative activity.
Allergy discrimination is so so insidious and prevalent. It’s happening behind their back and it is everything from the exposure joke to possibly causing someone to go into anaphylaxis from willful ignorance.
Also other parents in the classroom are guilty too. The “not my child not my problem” brain rot means that those lunchboxes are like bombs for airborne exposure allergies
I was not downplaying this. The stigma is real, and people are 100% willing to let people with allergies die.
This woman was laughed at for asking for allergy accommodations at multiple points in her trip, and was denied to the point that she was practically told she’d be refused care in the event of anaphylaxis.
