There's that scene in Dracula where Jonathan tries to call to some people in the courtyard. He wants them to send letters. They dob him in to Dracula etc.

I like to think this was the other side of that particular conversation.

"how is Jonathan Harker doing??" a moodboard

"Bless that good, good woman who hung the crucifix round my neck! for it is a comfort and a strength to me whenever I touch it. It is odd that a thing which I have been taught to regard with disfavour and as idolatrous should in a time of loneliness and trouble be of help. Is it that there is something in the essence of the thing itself, or that it is a medium, a tangible help, in conveying memories of sympathy and comfort? Some time, if it may be, I must examine this matter and try to make up my mind about it."

All Dracula adaptations are sleeping on adapting June 24th. Like can you imagine when we get a proper adaptation with just the baby crying in the background and Jonathan like full on attacking the door like Inigo Montoya in the climax of Princess Bride, frantically beating his whole body against it, and then when he hears the cries go silent. He just slides down and is completely silent on the floor for a few heartbeats before starting to sob??? Like ???Can you imagine how raw and visceral that scene will be and everyone's just been ignoring it this whole time???

When Mina is doomed to turn into the very thing that harmed Jonathan, become the thing that he hates most, and yet he pledges he shall present his neck for her to drink her fill from, and share her fate in dark matrimony. When she asks him to read her the burial service because she is dead and he must bury her and he obeys and he becomes her chief mourner. When she thus gives him the freedom to let go, and he acknowledges it and says I see what you're doing but I choose to take care of you and I always be armed to protect you from monster or man. When she chooses to face her fate on her own terms by going to the Castle, separated from him. When he tells her to do as she wills, and offers her his own gun so she can have control of her destiny once she arrives to the gates of hell. When Jonathan and Mina Harker.
