They should make a Van Helsing Barbie since she can be a professor, a meta physician, a philosopher, AND a lawyer

Congrats to Van Helsing for being genre savvy and getting rid of the doors lest they should shut creepily behind his back and trigger an autosave :D

reading Dracula has permanently altered my brain. i can never see count dracula as a generic character anymore. he isn't an ooky spooky horror monster he's the old bitch that imprisoned my boy johnny in his shitass castle and killed my beloved lucy and quincey. abraham van helsing isn't synonymous with badass monster hunters he's a 50-year-old dutch doctor who talks funny. i see things and think oh wow this is just like my favorite characters from my book that was written 126 years ago.

I would absolutely kill for a Dracula adaptation that really delves into the tragedy of manners aspect of it, the way that everyone is so worried about maintaining exactly the right face to the right people and how that makes so much of their situation worse. Everything from Jonathan trapped in the bonds of hospitality to the situation with Lucy's mother to a hundred instances of just not wanting to worry anyone. Like, give me a Dracula miniseries shot like it's Jane Austen.

You could do a whole college essay about how one of Van Helsing's strengths is in the way he disrupts social norms, even though he isn't immune to them.

Credit to everyone who talked about this last year, I definitely didn't come up with it, but it's been living in my head rent-free since last fall and we're watching it amp up again and oh how it hurts.

I’ve been waiting for this one…

CW: Death

Dracula Daily sketches for November 6th.

In which events converge.

[harkercore]

People have been talking about where Jonathan has been now, but let's talk about the others too.

-From April 16 to May 1 Mina Murray has learned that her boyfriend has passed his exams, she got engaged to him (maybe after his visit to her school), and kissed him goodbye. On May 2 she's probably thinking of writing a letter to Lucy because she misses her.

-Lucy Westenra is probably busy discreetly seeing a curly-haired man. Apparently, she's seen, because Mina later says that she heard rumors and wants all the deets.

-Arthur Holmwood is busy being rich and curly-haired.

-Jack Seward is to propose to Lucy soon. He's busy with his work as the asylum director, busy being fixated on a patient, busy being anxious about how his proposal will go because he relies on it going well to turn around a rather lonely, unhappy life.

-Quincey Morris is to propose to Lucy soon. He's sure if he emphasizes his Texasness he'll get a head start on his two friends. He's a little anxious but if she picks Arthur it won't be the end of the world, even if he likes her a lot.

-Abraham van Helsing is caught in a miserable routine. His life is an empty existence, he thinks. There's no future for old men. He's been hanging on to his love for his job for a long time now, but for how long?

-R. M. Renfield hasn't been okay in a while, but he can feel it. Something is happening, something will come to make all his dreams come true.

-Count Dracula is waiting for a young solicitor who can't speak the local language, who will be arriving any time now, and then all his ambitions will come true.

Van Helsing: *giving a long ass monolouge about the wonders of the universe*

Seward: "good god man are you telling me lucy was bitten by a giant bat and is now a monster???"

Van Helsing: "can you let me finish? damn. anyway tortoises live for a long time"

[thegoatsongs]

The general perception is that Van Helsing has a secret backstory full of vampires, meanwhile what he has been doing so far is the 1890s equivalent of frantically googling "wikihow stop bloodsuckers from window"

[sagegreenlila]

Tell me why Abraham Van Helsing is on Rate My Professor, I'm laughing so hard rn. He has a 4.8/5 lmaooo.

[friendly-jester]

Somehow Re:Dracula has made the polycule even more believable to me then before. I was fully onboard with it last year but this year I'm even more on board with it.

Jonathan and his wife Mina and Mina’s girlfriend Lucy and Lucy’s husband Arthur and their boyfriends Quincey and Jack and Jack’s sugar daddy Van Helsing-

Van helping saying the "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy" meme at Lucy's boyfriend squad when they have to kill Lucy because suffer

It’s a little rough because I wasn’t using my usual setup, but here you go
