Plug that https://lemmy.zip/c/vampires is doing a deadthrough synched to the dates in the novel.

The stereotypes laid on the Texan drive me batshit. They're sitting around the parlor and see a mysterious shadow outside the window. Ol' Tex just starts blasting. At an unidentified target, in the dark. Quincey Morris is so dumb it hurts.

obligatory firearm safety reminder:

  • rule one is "keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire"
  • rule two is "never point the weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy"
  • rule three is "always treat any weapon as though it is loaded"
  • rule four is "know your target and what lays beyond it"

only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.

I could have sworn his name was Harker. Am I a slider?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Maybe they were referring to the Doctor Who crossover.

It is absolutely Harker. I don’t know if you’re a slider, but you are correct.
