i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

Scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) where the character Bilbo Baggins (played by Ian Holm) contemplates keeping The One Ring instead of passing it on to Frodo. The original movie dialogue is replaced by a quote from Jonathan Harker's June 25th entry from Dracula.

Bilbo, looking at The One Ring and deep in contemplation: "I have seen him myself crawl from his window. Why should not I imitate him, and go in by his window?"

Jonathan considers his options

you either die a prisoner, or live long enough to see yourself scale the walls like a lizard

[lycorogue]

Can we just appreciate for a moment that Johnathan Harker, proper little Victorian man, built-like-a-twig solicitor, would probably die from sour apple jolly rancher, sad wet cat du jour, basically rock climbed/parkoured HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR to face the UNDEAD ENTITY TORMENTING HIS EVERY NOT-SO-RESTFUL NIGHT

HE'S the lizard fashion climber now

Dracula: Entering MY ROOM without my permission FROM THE WINDOW to start touching me and disturb my rest???

Jonathan: Bloody hate it when that happens huh

June 25: Wake me up inside (can’t wake up) Wake me up inside.

June 24 June 29

I'm the flavor of neurodivergent where I am a stickler for timeline continuity. A particularly strong pet peeve of mine. Nothing pulls me out of the narrative faster than when the timeline isn't mathing properly.

Which brings me to today's Dracula entry. Gets me every year.

June 25th entry:

Last night one of my post-dated letters went to post, the first of that fatal series which is to blot out the very traces of my existence from the earth.

HOWEVER.... according to the May 19th entry:

I therefore pretended to fall in with his views, and asked him what dates I should put on the letters. He calculated a minute, and then said:— "The first should be June 12, the second June 19, and the third June 29." I know now the span of my life. God help me!

So, the letter Dracula had Jonathan post-date as June 12th FINALLY went out the evening of June 24th???? When Dracula wanted the last of those letters to go out on the 29th???

Mr. Bram Stoker, I expected better of you.... You couldn't just go back to the May 19th entry and edit the dates Dracula mentioned so they better fit the final timeline you created?

A panel from the Dracula manga by Manga Classics. Jonathan is fully hidden under a pile of blankets wrapped tightly around him in the middle of his bed. "Huff Huff Huff" is written by the head of the bed and shiver lines are drawn along the outline of the blanket pile Jonathan is hidden under.

love how the manga interpreted Jonathan's "I threw myself onto the bed" upon returning from seeing the Count in his coffin

Scene from The Devil Wears Prada (2006) between the characters Emily (played by Emily Blunt), Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway), and Serena (played by Gisele Bündchen).

Emily is labeled "Jonathan" Andy is labeled "Dracula" Serena is labeled "Dracula's weed smoking girlfriends"

The first sentence of Andy's dialogue has been edited for the meme.

Emily is on guard as she's eyeing up Andy's outfit. Serena is beside her, also studying Andy, but with more intrigue.

Emily: "Are you wearing the..."

Andy: "The suit you came in? Yeah, I am."

Serena: "You look good."

Emily turns, shocked and disgusted towards Serena. Serena ignores Emily, continuing to look at Andy. Her face is fiercely serious.

Iconic scene from The Princess Bride (1987) between the characters Vizzini (played by Wallace Shawn) and The Dread Pirate Roberts (played by Cary Elwes).

Vizzini, jovially, smiles as he monologues:

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia! But only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

Vizzini gestures to himself as he mentions Sicilians. He then heartily belly-laughs.

Roberts looks on with a sly smirk.

Vizzini, mid-laugh, freezes and topples to his right. Falling out of frame.

Roberts stoically watches Vizzini collapse.

GOP leaders want to vote this week to pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act, so call your Senators NOW.

The bill, if passed, would cause widespread harm by making massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, gut climate protections and open public land to fossil fuel exploitation, restrict states from regulating AI for the next TEN YEARS, end gender-affirming care under Medicaid & CHIP, increase taxes on those who make less than $157k while giving massive tax cuts to the richest, tax breaks on gun silencers, defund planned parenthood, adds trillions to the national debt and billions to defense spending.

Call now! Spread the word.

"Cuomo conceded defeat late Tuesday night and said he called to congratulate Mamdani." As my friend Bernie Sanders says, "They've got the money, but we've got the people." Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.

okay now I'm curious and I dunno if this is really such an archaic foreign thing to young people today or if I'm just out of touch

Please reblog, I'd love to see a lot of responses!

Beginning of Dracula Daily: Haha what fun, so many memes, paprika, Jonathan is delightfully oblivious to context clues. There is a cowboy, what a lark.

June Dracula Daily: Oh right this is a HORROR novel, and anyone shipping anyone with Dracula in earnest is insane.
