Is she Lucy Westenra, or is she just a vessel for the writer's barely disguised fantasy of a women being punished for her promiscuity? Is she really"Bram Stoker's" Lucy Westenra: a naive, innocent 19 year old, with a cheery personality and a bright future ahead of her? Or has the writer instead just slapped her name on an OC that behaves nothing like her, and- with none of the grace or decorum that Lucy's tragically short story deserves- sexualized her slow and agonising death as much as possible, whilst very unsubtly doing their best to blame her for being murdered, so that we won't object to her being killed again later in an even more gruesome and sexual manner?

imagine if they didn't pull that sword out of Bram in time and then Fyodor got reincarnated as a lollipop stick

the novel “Dracula” contains one instance of the word “leg” and one instance of the word “legs” and has no feathers

what is wrong with you people? Where do you get the time? Fuckin, ok. I guess.

✅️ the novel "Dracula" contains no feathers

✅️ I'd say it's not bipedal because it doesn't have two "legs" but it also has one "leg" so legs plus leg equals legs now, or whatever.

Fucking, the novel "Dracula", as in the literal manuscript, by Bram Stoker is a Man. Fuck me.

We need to start drawing Quincey as a girl in those late vitorian bicycle suits without elaborating. Then if anyone asks we say "Stoker's wife approved a script where the only change was Quincey is a woman I am only following the vision"

I couldn’t agree more

In reference to this post:

stan is reminding me of Wallace from Wallace and gromit idk why

I'm also turning this into a recent-ish See Inside AU art dump

Drawing 1: Just something really simple with Halo

Drawing 2 : Gay people with Halo and Leah as a rabbit and Hyena

Drawing 3: Leah fucking hates her Grimacing Beast form and does everything she can to hide it. It’s revealed eventually but Halo helps her calm down from it

TIL Bram Stoker was even taller than ACD... and a wrestling champion. Why are those authors swole.

1.88 metres... damn I wanna see ACD and Bram Stoker have a tussle. But also i found this pic of Stoker that's apparently from the Shakespeare birthplace trust and something abt it is so funny to me. Stoker looks like he got caught off guard and had to quickly shuffle into a position, legs apart jauntily. He seems like he's bending down ever so slightly to be able to fit into the frame. Henry Irving's posing all cunty. Its really nice.

Bsd men when you wear lingerie

got multiple requests for this one!

Dazai, Poe, and Chuuya buy lingerie for you and ask you to wear it. Dazai makes you put it on immediately and is unbelievably hard as soon as he sees you. Poe nearly faints, and Chuuya is sooooo cocky because you look so good and he's so proud his partner is so hot.

Nikolai basically told you you have to wear it and def thinks it's hotttttt. Ranpo tells you he'd like to see you in lingerie and mentions it every time you have sex until you finally get some. he's cocky and tells you he knew you'd look hot.

Atsushi nervously asks if you'll wear lingerie some time and when you surprise him with he drools while fucking you in it. He's sooooo into lingerie. Kunikida asks if you'd like something like lingerie and you two pick some out together. He's not freaking out like the others but he deeeeefinitely likes it.

You surprise oda, akutagwaa, ango, and junichiro with lingerie. they didn't know it was coming. oda is very flustered and blushy but quickly devours you. ango and junichiro are so flustered they have to let you take control and they feel so blessed to have someone so hot touching them. akutagawa goes crazy like atsushi, going wiiiiiild on you

Mori, like nikolai, tells you you have to wear it. he gives you a really expensive, beautiful set. he stays very calm and demanding, really dom'ing you. Mushitaro keeps telling you that certain pieces would match your figure and would look so good on you and he really appreciates when you wear it and gives you lots of praise for how perfectly it suits you.

tachihara didn't ask you to wear it but he did mention passively once that he likes it so he is quite happy and also very faux-calm as he doms you.

Fyodor, bram, and sigma didn't ask and aren't too phased. it's pretty and nice yes but they're more into you (in fyodor's case he's more into your mind and abilities) than your body. doesn't mean they dont like it. bram kinda doesn't. he thinks it's a bit unnecessary and the lace reminds him of his grandmother who made lace.

Hello, Dr, Seward, you’re my favourite gay autistic man

What is an "autistic"?

[k-wame]

explored each other & never spoke of it again but definitely remained thomas' roman empire 👅

[another-chaotic-bisexual-vampire]

i'm so mad at Bram Stoker for not anticipating that his 1897 novel Dracula would be adapted over a hundred years later into a format that only releases installments on the dates in his novel - resulting in several hiatuses when there are no installments released - which has, most importantly, personally inconvenienced me!

[squarebracketsmileyface]

if it's not too much trouble, can we get a lil sneaky peek of what Jesse looks like in art form? we have a 'preview' of Birdie, so i'm keen to see our darling lil guy (again, only if you want to/it's not a particularly time-consuming task) aaaa

YOU CAN INDEED (featuring a whole new art style I accidentally absorbed. I fucking created it for Soap in my COD fic so I could draw things as him, and now it's just my fucking art style kill me)

Also closeups under the thingy because I wanna talk about this art and some general lil headcanon bits more, it took me 9 and a half hours to finish this and I genuinely love it so much. I loved the entire process.

This drawing made me love Jesse as much as I love Birdie now, I think. I'm such a visual person and without a visual on Jesse I liked him conceptually but I didn't really care about him like I do Birdie. Now I love him. I adore him. He's so small and so round and look at him standing on his bubba's knees like a big boy, Brian's barely holding him up at all, really, he's definitely doing it allllllll by himself :D

SO

Brian has rainbow spoke covers on his chair, because he works with young kids, of course he's gonna make his chair fun. I also like to think that he lets them put stickers on the outsides of his mud guards too. Also the fun yellow pushrim covers and wheelchair frame

Jesse has a lazy eye :D (featuring his exceptionally circular face and silly surprised baby eyebrows)

Brian's chipped nail polish. He teaches kids sport for a living, especially climbing, of course his nail polish is going to be super chipped all the time. He's a dad too, so he doesn't have a huge amount of time to do his nails every time they start chipping. (Also the wedding band :] )

Birdie's drawing again, because it's still so fucking cute to me. With Jesse at like very little baby age in this drawing, Birdie would be somewhere around 13 I think? So just getting into "Daaaaaaad you're embarrassing meeeeeee!" era with that doodle

The family photos on the wall, including Lark! :D

Also, finally, the wrinkles on Brian's face :D he's a guy in his fourties who spent at LEAST like five years solid living through hell in the woods (I like to think it was longer than that, like, when Alex 'killed him' was when he started living as hoodie in the woods, so honestly probably a good bit longer than just the five years of documented MH that we got), and then once that was over, he had to learn to live with the stress of a spinal cord injury while also dealing with the survivors guilt of losing the only people he knew still on the same day as he lost the use of his legs.

Also a broken nose that never got put right before it healed, because with him fighting Alex all those times, there's no way he didn't come out without at least one broken nose.

And, of course, his silly cowboy mustache (he gives Jesse horsey rides on his wheelchair and Jesse wears a cowboy hat which is FAR too big for him. It's the cutest thing Tim and Lark have ever seen)

Hii, can u draw the count go out in his lizard fashion pls

Yesss he is lizard fashioning

[mrghostrat]

I love the idea of vampire!Aziraphale. I imagine him still being a bastard about it too. All other vampires wear black but it washes him out so he doesn’t. He prefers to drink blood out of a teacup because straight from the neck is unseemly. Etc.

YOU GET IT... angel aziraphale is basically a vampire already, keeping his old clothes and books he's gotten attached to over the years, and hiding away for weeks at a time while he indulges new music with the shades drawn

my aziraphale is very gothic romantic about it: he doesn't kill anyone, that would be cruel and unnecessary (and he doesn't want the........ blood on his hands). he's a "creep in your window and feed off you while you sleep" kind of vampire, and moves on after a few days when his target starts to weaken too much. at worst, they'll think they have a bad flu.

he definitely robbed a blood bank once, and keeps his store in emptied out bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape 😂

Will ask Dr. Seward to be let out in the gardens unsupervised to hunt. If he denies me then I can bring a hand to my chest, gasp, and yell “DURING THIS MONTH?!” then watch him explain himself.

I would love to know about rodent kid/evil rat baby. Is it still a rat in this au or some other kind of rodent? Whats its relationship with bram like? Do you have any ideas for how it joined the party n how that differed from canon rat baby?

Good questions! (Rat Child will be referred to as Rodent Kid in this post)

To start off: It's kind of hard to say what Rodent Kid exactly is.

It does retain some more rodent-like qualities, but it also looks strangely. "Rabbit-like"

However, what the characters can't get over is how strangely human it looks and acts

Especially in it's eyes

Nobody is sure what exactly it is, even if it reminds them of a weird mutated rabbit

When Bram finds it, he doesn't think it even feels right to call it a rabbit, but he doesn't know what kind of rodent it'd be

So: Rodent Kid as a nickname was born

Some characters do call it Rabbit Kid, but it's official name in the au is Rodent Kid

Second answer: It's relationship with Bram somewhat follows the OG dynamic with Rat Child and Sam

You know how Rat Child copies Sam, to the point where it's a battle move that it can use? Same case here

Unfortunately: It's not good when Bram is a rather unpredictably angry and frustrated guy who can't control his emotions well

RK (Rodent Kid) and Bram are kind of like a strange dysfunctional child-and-parent duo; They care for each other and do honestly need each other (RK for literal reasons and Bram for psychological/mental reasons) but they fight a lot, Bram gets frustrated with this freak and RK lashes back like an angry child

Shows up often when RK interacts with other characters like this interaction with it and Leah (Evil Leigh). It's tricky, it tries getting what it wants with deception

Third answer: Yes and no

The way Bram finds RK is different

Unlike finding Rat Child in a baby crib, Bram finds an old rusty pet cage on the ground covered by sheets

He uncovers it and Rodent Kid is revealed

Note, this is based on an interpretation of the og source material and isn't canon to the game: A popular idea is that Rat Child was once a baby that fused with/gained features of a rat after being Cursed.

So; Rodent Kid was once a baby.... rabbit or rodent that either fused with or gained features of a human baby (Still ages as quickly as Rat Child though)

I'm not so solid on what happens after this but Bram still does end up keeping it. Don't know how to approach The Wall Face thing because I'm stuck on it and whether Bram should just lose an arm like OG Sam or sacrifice a leg instead somehow
