𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐲, 𝐨𝐡 𝐧𝐨! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬? :(

(I know it's technically not accurate since Renfield wasn't facing Seward when he entered the room, but I felt like drawing horror at the time so shhhhh ! 🕷🕸)

Got myself an edition of Dracula I've wanted for a long time - the one illustrated by Becky Cloonan - so here are some of my favourite illustrations (in phone camera quality, with the kitchen tablecloth in the background, sorry):

Jonathan's first illustration, the Weird Sisters, GET SHOVEL'D IDIOT

The Captain (you've probably seen this one before)

Basically every illustration featuring Renfield, they're so great. Good for him

Mina Harker, everybody (and YES she gets her canonical gun)

Our dear girls

The "get a job! stay away from her!" illustrations

LUCY

Jack being a brooding emo prince (again, good for him)...

...and, in particular, this little illustration of his first meeting with Mina. My favourite 19th century tech nerds.

The best couple in Gothic literature according to me:

Quincey looking almost exactly like his dark twin (Ethan Chandler in Penny Dreadful)

The 'Avengers assemble" one

(that's far from every illustration in the book, I simply didn't take pictures of every single one)

[pintsofguinnesmakeyoustrong]

the renfield movie was objectively not good on its own but it does have two high quality elements that raise its merit by at least 25%

nicholas hoult running around looking and acting like an absolute wet cat of a man

nicholas cage just having a really good time

[mmehrunesraz0r]

he looks like the kind of guy to eat a bug but i could be wrong

closeups and different angles under the cut!

[that-bi-fan]

he's such a pathetic wet cat of a man, I can't wait to see him on the big screen

Hear me out: Dracula D&D (5e) AU

Jonathan's a battle based bard. You need charisma when you're a solicitor. Feel like his charisma was the reason he was able to survive in the castle for SIX FUCKING MONTHS without dying or getting chained to a wall, he got it bad but let's all admit he could have had it a lot worse! Also his bribery phase is pretty entertaining LOL. Think he'd be in the college of Swords or Valor.

Mina's a rogue. From what I understand of her, she's got a wide breath of knowledge that a rogue would have, and she's a teacher so she'd kind of have to be like that. Unsure about subclass because I can't decide between Inquisitive or Phantom.

Quincey's a ranger because obviously

Arthur's an artificer, just because from how it looks, it seems everyone's using him as the Uncle Pennybags of the group, and that's what artificers tend to end up as. Possibly a battle smith, with the steel defender being one of his dogs

Lucy's a Druid. I was originally going to make her a cleric for symbolic and ironic reasons, but I just get druid vibes from how she talks from re:dracula and there's also a bit of symbolism in how Dracula can corrupt nature.

Jack's a wizard because he's interested in advancing knowledge and goes to great and memeically unusual lengths to archive his work. Possibly an enchantment wizard because of how he's interested in studying human minds. He'd write his diary entries in his spellbook using the same method for transcribing spells and use all his expensive ink and stuff in the process.

Renfield's a barbarian, he's been described as being very strong and I'm pretty sure you need a strong constitution to eat all those birds and bugs without getting an upset stomach. Strength and constitution are what barbarians are best known for. Beast barbarian because it gives a bite attack and I just KNOW that Renfield's the kind of person to bite people LOL

Abraham Van Hesling's probably a multiclassed character, but I suppose that if he had any 'main' classes he'd be a bard or rogue for the sake of skills. He'd be all over the place. His player probably optimised him for maximum skills. Probably a Lore Bard or Knowledge Cleric if we had to stick with one class.

TWO VERSIONS

[atundratoadstool]

Just want to say that Jack Seward having been struck a wound in each arm that in some way transferred life to the two characters with whom he is most entangled is really cool.
