"the 'power of love' trope is such an overused and cliche gimmick" i do not care i will love it always and forever. love prevails and explodes the enemy

Silly wee Jonathan Harker warmup sketch idk if I’ll ever finish

[charonnyxtides]

like on the one hand i have all these high-falutin’ half-baked Notions about like why the jonathan/mina of it all is so wildly uninteresting to dracula adaptors and what’s going on with gender there and yadda yadda. but i also want to be clear that everything about jonathan/mina is so, so hot to me. like just wildly, insanely sexy. among the most erotically compelling fictional narratives i have ever come across in print. and i have an absolutely base and selfish and horny desire for more people, such as i’m just saying people with HBO miniseries money, to get on board with the mindblowing hotness of this thing i think is hot.

Not him guilt tripping the boy about the entire situation! As if he wouldn't have tried really hard to dominate his parents even if they had no child. His ex professor would've been proud.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

(n/a)

Panel 2

Jonathan: Good evening, Mr Griffin.

Griffin: Gah! Who the hell—

Panel 3

Griffin: —Ah.

Panel 4

Jonathan: I come here when the weather is nice to smoke. Mind joining me?

Panel 5

Griffin: Before you ask…yeah, I’ve been stealing food.

Panel 6

Griffin: Gotta prepare for when you’re done with me—for the worst. It always gets worse, and I will not starve again.

Panel 7

Jonathan: I understand. I stole coins, rather than cans, when I was a prisoner.

Griffin: You? Prisoner?!

Jonathan: I escaped on my execution day, once I was no longer of use to my captor.

Panel 8

Jonathan (voiceover): I ran for days. I was… severely ill. A bleeding, penniless, starving madman in a strange land. Yet…

Panel 9

Jonathan (voiceover): I was given a second chance because many strangers helped me. I could offer them no service, but they cared for me until I was well again.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Irene: We cannot deny that monsters are in this world. We must be prepared to face them, and I can think of none more experienced. One can hardly bring such troubles to Scotland Yard.

Panel 2

Mina: If we learned anything from this and with the Vampire, it is that our strength is in numbers and new allies.

Panel 3

Irene: This new kind of horror could strike again, anywhere, at any time. What if Wilhelm was only the beginning?

Panel 4

Van Helsing: All of you are most correct, dear friends. Terror in Transylvania, England, Bohemia, all in such a short time…It would be wise to be prepared.

Panel 5

Van Helsing (offscreen): I know that such a gathering of folk haunted yet most unique will excel with Madam Mina’s leadership, yes?

Jack: Of course.

Quincey: No doubt.

Arthur: For certain.

Panel 6

Mina: With my leadership—! Professor, certainly you don’t mean to say…I mean, Irene is older, and she came up with the plan to trap the King…

Panel 7

Irene: I do have a knack for baffling my enemies. But I read how you rallied your friends against the Vampire, and I saw you in action myself. I’d be glad to stand beside such a leader.

Panel 8

Jonathan: If this is what you will, you know our little band of men shall always do as you say.

Panel 9

Mina: …I will try to live up to your expectations.

Panel 10

Irene: Well then, since that’s settled…I think it is time we reached out to our other allies.

Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jonathan: Mr. Griffin, if you choose to leave rather than to rely on strangers, I will help you with your journey. But if you choose to stay, there is a place for you here.

Panel 2

Jonathan: Besides, home cooked food is tastier than cans of peaches.

Panel 3

Griffin: …You know, I thought you were an albino too, but it turns out you’re just weird. Your wife is an odd one too, for that matter.

Panel 4

Griffin: Didn’t mean to go all irrational with the “are you even human” stuff, by the way. I’m a scientist. I was just sick.

Panel 5

Jonathan: …We both may not be who we once were anymore.

Panel 6

Jonathan: But if we all accept that then you, sir, are welcome here. Enter, or leave, of your own free will.

Panel 7

Griffin: …Damn you.

Panel 8

Jonathan (offscreen): …Mina?

Panel 9

Jonathan: Mina, I need to confide something in you. About what I am…able to see and do. You’d understand better than anyone.

Panel 1 Mina: …

Panel 2 Mina: Mrs. Nort—Irene. Before we return…may I ask how you’re feeling after…everything?

Panel 3 Irene: I sang an old lover one last song and shot him. It’s something I need to cope with. Even if he turned out to be horrible. Obsessive, even in…undeath.

Panel 4 Mina: I am so sorry you had to struggle with such a relationship…

Panel 5 Irene: I’m more than a decade older than you, Mina. I’ve known my share of cruel men. The kind you’ll hopefully never have to face.

Panel 6 Mina: …

Panel 7 Irene: Mina…From now on, let’s be on our guard. From anyone, and…from anything. Together.

Panel 8 Mina: There is something I would like you to read first…

Panel 9 Sound effect: Knock knock

Panel 10 Mina (voiceover): …If we are doing this together. Papers: Dracula
