It’s That Time Of Year Where For Months I Cry Over Dracula Being A Love Letter To Humanity. There Are

Herr Englishman turn back you are full of das deathflagsten

Eternally fond of the way Jonathan says ✨excellent supper✨ each time in Re: Dracula

More things that get left out of Dracula adaptations

Van Helsing pulls 29 year old Dr Seward's ear like he's still a schoolboy

There's a relationship-establishment flashback between Van Helsing and Seward

In it, Van Helsing accidentally gets cut with something unclean. His then-student Seward immediately drops everything to start sucking on the wound raw

At one point, Seward asks to become his "pet student again."

Dracula has a big, permanent scar on his forehead from Jonathan Harker's shovel

Arthur Holmwood saying "Tally ho!"

Transylvanians conclude that the delirious, amnesiac Jonathan Harker is English due to "his violent demeanour."

Despite attempts to keep low profile, Dracula gets into the news twice in two months (in one of them as a missing dog)

Dracula getting misreported as a dog because English people have never seen a wolf

London newspapers treat Lucy's vampire attacks on children as a meme among kids because they don't believe in vampires

Dracula gets sworn at by a British sailor solely because he thinks Dracula is French

Van Helsing baffled why British sailors keep talking about blood and bloom (it's swearing)

Van Helsing is friends with real-life turkologist traveler Arminius Vámbéry, who is his source on the Dracula family

Van Helsing is friends with Hans Christian Andersen and references The Ugly Duckling

Van Helsing getting one-upped by MinaHarker every single time he says something sexist about her intelligence

Dracula failing to destroy the evidence against him because Mina backs up her files

Jonathan getting so mad he hunts Dracula down the walls like a spiderman with a machete

Mina and Jonathan kissing on the mouth in front of everybody

Quincey Morris spontaneously gifting Mina the Victorian equivalent of a MacBook Air

Quincey Harker

I am loving the building excitement in the Dracula Daily fandom...We’re not even halfway through April but people are posting memes and giggling...Jonathan's trip to the Carpathians is almost upon us! It's like Advent for Harker fans.

(Was making a Moon Knight meme and accidentally reset the base image into something infinitely funnier.)

Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.

Just started reading Dracula and I gotta say I'm really enjoying the letters from Lucy. A little break from the horror to enjoy a gossip session is just what I need right now.

I sure do hope nothing bad happens to her.

Love how often in Dracula everyone is like "oh no, Mina we can't subject your woman's heart to this horror, it may give out from the fright" while shes literally the smartest most equipped person in the book, meanwhile they keep giving Jonathan important, terrifying tasks despite him having trauma induced seizures everytime he sees someone with a beard

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god

I love reading classic books because I get part way through one and I suddenly realise that despite its prevalence in pop culture, I don't actually know what it's about, or how it ends.

and that is great. because then I get to read the rest of it and then, finally, I sit there and I go "oh, fuck, THAT'S why it's a classic!"
