The way my mental health currently hinges on what the people inside my phone think about a book that was written over a 100 years ago
Everyone wish my good friend Jonathan luck, he's studying to pass the bar rn and apparently has a big work trip/promotion thingy coming up 🥺
Is his name Jack or John.
i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
The entirety of Dracula by Bram Stoker is really just:
Dr Seward: I wish we could figure out what’s wrong with Lucy.
Van Helsing: I figured it out immediately but I’m just going to let you solve it yourselves.
Dr Seward: Or you could just tell us.
Van Helsing: Friend John :( I have known you for one thousand years and you have been one of my very good friends and best students :( Do you not trust me? Why do you not trust me, friend John? Have I ever given you a reason to doubt me? Do you not think I have a good reason for withholding vital information? :(:(:(:( Have faith in me, your very old and good friend.
Dr Seward: You’re right :(
Lucy: I love everyone so much and I’m going to tell them every day 🥰💕 also legalise polyamory wtf
Renfield: look at all my pets that I’m definitely not eating 🪰🪰🪰🪰
Dr Seward: What happened to all the birds I gave you?
Renfield, with a mouth full of a feathers: I have no idea.
Arthur: I think… I miss my wife… also how the fuck didn’t we realise Dracula’s house was right next door?
Quincey: I keep saying I’m not that smart but I’m the only one to immediately point out that something was actively taking Lucy’s blood. Brb need to go shoot a giant bat with a gun.
Mina: I am the only person keeping this shit show together. We literally would not have made it without me and no one who adapts my character seems to get that. Women are the heart of this story. I am the glue that binds this group together. I just want ONE MOVIE that understands that and values my intelligence, which is at the forefront of my character.
Renfield: I have an entire character arc but don’t expect any adaptations to show it.
Quincey: ok but what if… we shot Dracula with a gun??? Also stop fucking cutting me from all the adaptations.
Jonathan: has seen indescribable horrors, is a shell of his former self, will literally never be what he was before going to Transylvania
Dracula: oh Jonathan! 🥰🥰🧛🏻🧛🏻🥰🩸🩸🥰🥰
BONUS: everyone is constantly holding hands, especially all of the men, and talking about how they’re going to be best friends forever. The male friendships in this book are shockingly pure and the women are incredible. The Crew of Light are actually the only found family ever, I think.

Dracula is cleaning his castle.
Jonathan is packing for his business trip.
The Dracula Daily tag is getting busy.
Nature is healing.
Happy Dracula daily day, praying for Jonathan Harker and his queer dreams <3
"i ought to be thy adam, but i am rather the fallen angel"
I feel so horrible about being some sort of canon purist whose only loyalty is to the source material but I can't help it guys literally every Dracula character is at their best and most entertaining in the novel and none of the movies have hit the same for me
no one prepared me for how fucking funny dracula was gonna be. u hoes wax poetic about dracula daily in a thousand different ways every year and never once have i heard anyone talk about how much dracula absolutely sucks ass at being a mysterious creature of the night. it is day 3 and the only reason johnathan hasn’t thrown the word “vampire” around is cause this is a work trip and his boss and dracula would both kill him in short order if he did lmao.
