doomed yuri cula

pov you used to undress by the fire together eat sleep and laugh together and now you're both getting married but its okay because they're faggots anyway and they dgaf about you two being together

[highfemmeharker]

its almost the end of pride month so im gonna list my gender headcanons for the gang in my au before i forget:

Jonathan Harker: I think he's a demiboy for gender because their masculinity might be important but also I don't think it matters to him THAT much and also they give genderless little rat vibes. he/they

Mina Murray-Harker: she probably experimented with being more masculine and decided that it wasn't for her and also because its femininity is important to the plot i think it unlocked cis+ so she's still a woman it's but kind of futch about it. she/it

Lucy Westenra: that's literally a beautiful trans woman. she/her

(Dr.) John (Jack) Seward: I'M NOT SURE YET...in the book he leans more transfem but i really really like it being trans masc. plus i really like him complementing van helsing by being a fem fag. either way he has a job so it drc about that. he/it no matter which way he's trans

Quincey Morris: that's literally a handsome trans man. he/him

(Honorable) Arthur (Art) Holmwood (or Lord Godalming): might be the only other cisgender in his friend group but he will 100% play with his gender expression kind of like mina, like cis and a half. he/him

(Professor) Abraham Van Helsing: that right there is a transmasc butch thank youuuu. he/she

R.M. Renfield: scary somewhat masculine creature, kind of masc leaning nonbinary. it/they

Dracula: He is above gender, so you could argue agender but in like a god way. He/Him

and orientation headcanons:

Jonathan Harker: biromantic demisexual. i think they struggle with sexuality a lot especially after leaving dracula's castle but he's a very devoted lover no matter what.

Mina Murray-Harker: pan. she loves jonathan it loves lucy she doesn't care its wonderful.

Lucy Westenra: polyamorous panromantic asexual. she wants to marry all her boys and get with her girlie <333 also she's ace because she's such a romantic lover i think she doesn't need/want the other stuff :)

(Dr.) John (Jack) Seward: polyamorous gay leaning bi. no matter how it loves his friends it's always really gay. he has 'can't stop falling in love with its friends disease'

Quincey Morris: polyamorous arospec bisexual. he certainly likes his friends and he certainly harbors love for those close to him but he seems like such a friend guy and i feel like him being arospec is just. right. yk?

(Honorable) Arthur (Art) Holmwood (or Lord Godalming): that right there is a flaming faggot, probably bisexual because he is still sososo in love with lucy but like that's literally the gayest person i've ever seen hoooly shittt. also poly because of da bois

(Professor) Abraham Van Helsing: bi dyke. no i dont take suggestions. dyke4fag seward. sapphic ex-situationship with dracula. like be serious

R.M. Renfield: aromantic gay. it doesn't need love it needs devotion and they know this. so good so good.

Dracula: arospec pansexual. is that weird. i dont think so. He says He can love but He cant really and He'll eat anyone. i think it fits.

id like to know what you think: :)

#2. Mina Murray-Harker ref

Here are some basic things about her:

still a schoolteacher, still 20, still super in love with Jonathan and Lucy

Somewhat alternative, kind of progressive she definitely supports queer rights and everything :)

#1. Jonathan Harker ref

Here are some pics:

Here are some basic things about him:

still a solicitor, still 22, still super in love with his Mina

Still a stereotypical gothic heroine: innocent, emotional, intelligent etc

Likes vintage things/has old fashioned hobbies/turned out a lot like his father by accident

STILL IN THE TOILS...

Kind of an awkward guy. Loves sending emails cause he's a little freakkk. Has a tumblr blog cause he's in the shakespeare fandom

Still British and stuff

Might be nonbinary but he's a veritable prisoner so he drc about that (also biromantic and demisexual cause i said so)

Complicated relationship with sexuality/religion/etc

Tries his hardest to be brave and charismatic but in the end it's kind of a mask because he knows he can't save everyone

Biggest wife lover in all the land

Intro (long post, sorry!)

Asks:

I'm currently in the process of developing and writing my modern au Dracula :) This is an ask blog for all of the characters that I'm in the process of developing (and this particular post is the masterlist of my refs), which are:

Jonathan Harker

Mina Murray-Harker

Lucy Westenra

(Dr.) John (Jack) Seward

Quincey Morris

(Honorable) Arthur (Art) Holmwood (or Lord Godalming)

R. M. Renfield

(Professor) Abraham Van Helsing

And, of course,

Count Dracula

Another super super fun thing is if you ask multiple characters, as the relationships between these guys are insane (*looks at Renfield*). You can practically slap LITERALLY ANY TWO CHARACTERS together, but here are some basic ones if you dunno who to ask at first:

The Holiest Love (Mina and Jonathan)

Doomed yuri (Lucy and Mina)

The Suitor Squad (Quincey, Arthur, and Jack)

The dry men of science (Jack and Van Helsing)

Insane gang (Renfield and Jack)

Master and Servant (Dracula and Renfield)

You can literally do anything. Please

Other fun things:

You can make characters do things! Renfield can show you his bugs, Quincey will shoot a bat, idgaf !!! Don't be afraid of being cringe because I promise you I'm way more cringey.

Canon-typical Dracula content applies. Please be aware of what you can handle!

If you specify a time in the novel I'll make it more accurate, if not, then this blog exists outside the constraints of the novel timeline.

Dracula's basically the only villain here (obv.) so don't be afraid to work with that!!! He straight up eats babies I'm sure you can goof around with him.

I'll try to get to as many asks as I can!!!

{{Also, you can always ask me, Lu, da mod, for anything about their world and how it will be modernized (still epistolary! a collection of emails, news articles, text messages, notes apps, tumblr posts, and the like.)}}

Tags

I'll tag posts based on characters so you can scrumble through, I might tag relationships but idk. I always tag Dracula and modern au :)

Main tags:

character ref: ref of the character/the basics

character hc: headcanons/thoughts about (a) certain character(s)/could even be a ramble

character asks: asks!!! please send in asks!!!

character art: more art things

ic post: post that I'm in character for! It will be obviously stated based on the ask and the text things, don't worry :)

worldbuilding: how can dracula take place 128 years later? this is my world logic

drac rambles: anything else ex. the original novel or thematic elements and such

I'm not developing this in time for Dracula daily THIS YEAR unfortunately, but perhaps by next year I'll make something work.
