Seward was the only true vampire hater in the group

"Mina and Dracula are fated to be together" wrong they're fated to meet in the pit

P A T I E N T: R. M. RENFIELD NOTES:  My homicidal maniac is of a peculiar kind. I shall have to invent a new CLASSIFICATION for him, and call him a ZOÖPHAGOUS (LIFE-EATING) MANIAC; what he desires is to absorb as many LIVES as he can, and he has laid himself out to achieve it in a cumulative way.

Poor Jonathan he has no envelopes no clothes no panties no money no identification nothing

Hey. Don't be sad. He still has the most important thing. The love for his fiancee.

My kink is husbands & wives who are still portrayed as very much in love with each other, because even after years of commitment and kids, they still talk to each other, go on fun random adventures and try new things. No resentment. No portrayal of marriage as a chore. Just actual love.

before you stab someone: THINK!

how can you make it Tender?

how can you make it Homoerotic?

how can you make it Implicitly intimate?

how can you make it Noticeably a metaphor for sex?

how can you make it Kind of gay?

The hardest part about Dracula to believe isn’t the vampires.

It’s the fact that three men proposed to the same woman and, upon being rejected, two of the men not only immediately accepted the woman’s refusal with grace but they also vowed to be loyal friends to her anyway and then they actually were.

In real life, you’re usually friends with a man first and after a while you get the “I need to tell you something” text but Dracula completely reverses the order of events. Lucy gets the text, politely declines and then gets to have a genuinely fulfilling friendship with the men who were interested in her.

Bonus: all three men, including the man whose proposal was accepted, are also friends and there was no toxic masculinity or fighting or trying to one up each other. There was no competition. They just respected Lucy’s wishes and each other.

I think people irl wonder why I’m so insane about this book, both regarding how well it holds up over time (generally speaking, because there is obviously still room for criticism) and what a complete failure every single adaption has been. This is why.

To this day, we struggle with how female and male characters are written, and here’s a guy from the 19th century who, despite still holding beliefs from his era, has been able to do what so many modern writers, both male and female, have completely failed to do. The men in Dracula aren’t just better than a lot of real men. They’re also better than a most fictional men too.

I am 100% serious when I say that the cowboy in Dracula is completely thematically fundamental. The story stops working every time ppl try to take him out. Its why they just end up making it another story entirely.
