#I think I know the reason actually it's because iconic pop culture monsters kind of get de-fanged (heh) in their ubiquity#Like you get to a point where even children are familiar with the archetype and ofc you aren't showing them the version with all the detail#So if you have a horror icon that ''everyone'' recognizes then most peoples' first exposure to them would be the kiddie-safe version.#Dracula#Dracula Daily#lit#lit analysis#Look it's been a while since I've read Dracula okay? Epistolary novels are not my favorite format.#The real-time gimmick is doing a lot to make that writing style feel fun for me to engage with instead of just annoying.
