So I’m reading this essay about how the sexual interpretations of Dracula tend to shift depending on the culture of the time, and it’s pretty interesting, but it also has the funniest quote imaginable
“Dracula is a horror story about vampires; the scene in the crypt depicts a vampire-slaying; the stake is a stake; and Lucy is a vampire who is being destroyed according to the method prescribed by folklore” -Robert Mighall
And like, that’s the academic version of dropping this bad boy in the discord chat:
this is literally one of the funniest academic papers I have ever read

The thing is you read too much 19th century Brit Lit and that’s literally just how you start to talk. Was speaking with a friend about another friend and I said “he’s very agreeable, but he lacks discernment” like that was in any way a normal way to phrase that sentiment.
