authors notes — so this is a short rewrite / repost of an oldish fic, but I just love dbd, wesker, and tentacles, so what better to rewrite than that? it’s a lot shorter than the last version though, we got straight to the fucking.

  the shockwave boomed through the air as yet another friend was sacrificed to the entity. that made two of them already gone, leaving just you and dwight to do the remaining three generators that were left.

 the terror radius pounded in your ears from all sides making it nearly impossible to tell where he was, and there was no sign of dwight, no sign of him being in chase or doing a generator. you crouched down behind the sofa as the killer dashed through the building, checking on the objective closest by.

 “shit, that was close…” you let out the breath you didn’t even know you were holding.

 “hey,” dwight whispered from the open door at the back, “you okay?”

 “yeah, I’m good, are you?”

 he nodded in reply, biting his nails as he looked around nervously. he was terrified and it wasn’t hard to see that, he always was, no matter how many times he was in a trial. you sighed to yourself knowing that nothing would get done if your teammate was too scared to do anything for the remainder of the trial.

 “dwight?” you shuffled quietly toward him, “go do the generator down the end of the street, and I’ll go distract wesker, okay?”

 the hesitation of your friend was obvious, the way he slowly opened his mouth to speak but then closed it again, he gave you a sad nod and started carefully sneaking towards where you told him to go. you took a deep breath and shook your head, wondering how you always get yourself into these stupid situations for the sake of other people.

 you quickly vaulted the side of the house window to make as much noise as possible, running in a straight line to the other side of the street and as far away from dwight as possible. it didn’t take long for you to hear your heartbeat getting louder and louder in your ears, so much so that you could barely hear anything else.

 “there you are,” the familiar snarky voice spoke from the other side of the car from where you were standing.

 you gulped at the sight of him, your legs going weak at the knees but you knew you had to distract for as long as you possibly could, no matter what. you knew deep down you had no chance of keeping him in chase for three whole generators, especially because you knew dwight would hide the second  wesker and yourself got a little too close for his liking.

 without a second more hesitation, you turned and took of into the house at a full sprint, running through the living room and vaulting out the kitchen window to the side — it didn’t give you much distance considering wesker’s dash meant he caught up to you almost instantly. you ran the same loop as much as you could, vaulting the window and going back through the door, and he followed just the same.

 the entity finally blocked off the windows to you, and you didn’t notice until you were being slammed up against the wall next to it. you let out a gasp and cough, and stumbled through the living room, completely winded from the hit — you swore he managed to crack a few ribs from the way you were slammed against the cabinets. there weren’t any pallets left on your side of the map, most of them used from your now dead teammates, so instead you chose to run upstairs even though you knew that was probably the worst idea you could make — you’d stand a better chance running around the cars outside. 

 wesker gained on you instantly, dashing past you in the bedroom and stopping just shy of the window, blocking your escape route. he gave you a devilish grin, his eyes glowing menacingly behind his sunglasses — it was over, one generator hadn’t even popped and he’d already caught you, sure you could run back down the stairs but what was the point?

 “doesn’t seem like your friend is doing much, does it?” the killer spoke, taking a step closer to you and making you take one back in response until your back was flat against the wall, “I know you were just running from me as a distraction. had you made a deal with him, hm?”

 there wasn’t much you could do, he was stood toe to toe with you, staring down into your eyes with a finger hooked under your chin to force you to look up at him. he was right on the money though, that so called deal you made with dwight that didn’t exactly seem to be working out in your favour. it was obvious he’d been hiding, you know you’d been running long enough for at least one generator to be completed, and it didn’t seem like he’d been messing up and blowing it up at all.

 “so why did you bother chasing me if you knew I was just trying to keep your attention?” you questioned, venom laced words because you didn’t have enough courage to spit at him.

 “you’re telling me you’ve not noticed? I thought you were smarter than that, dear…” he trailed off as his finger ran down the middle of your neck and halted part way down your chest, a quiet chuckle escaping his throat.

 “notice what?” your voice was barely noticeable, too embarrassed to speak as his other hand rested beside your head, caging you into the room, obviously in response to him noticing you oggling the doorway and stairs.

 “never you mind.”

 wesker leaned in closer to you, his lips ghosting yours for only a second before he leaned down to your ear, “why is your heart beating so fast, are you that scared of me?”

 you held your breath and squeezed your eyes closed, you couldn’t even reply, it was like your throat had closed up — even if it hadn’t, you still wouldn’t be able to speak, there was nothing you could say in response. every nerve in your body was on fire, your stomach began doing flips, and you couldn’t help but get that warm sensation between your thighs that made you have to squeeze them together. you gulped and shook your head to yourself, you couldn’t get turned on, or even think about anything like that. he’s a killer, an evil man who takes pleasure in hunting you and your friends down and sacrificing you to some spider-legged being.

 “I don’t take kindly to being ignored.”

 his words pulled you from your thoughts, making you gasp for the air that you’d been depriving yourself of, “yes, I’m scared of you.”

 he smiled, “good.”

 his breath was hot against your neck, and it made the hairs on your skin stand on end. his hand moved down from your chest and brushed against your hip, just at the gap where your shirt rode up a little bit and exposed your skin. his leather covered hand pushed under your top, slowly working its way around until he had a firm grasp on your waist.

 “wait, what’re you—“ you began to speak out against his actions but were sharply cut off by his lips meeting yours.

 it was surprisingly more gentle than you’d expect from someone like him, yet there was still force behind it, a hunger that he needed satiating in that exact moment. his hand tightened against your side while his other hand interwinded in your hair, pulling your head back so he could kiss you easier. you couldn’t pull away from him seeming how pinned you were against the wall, you pushed your hands against his chest in an attempt to protest but it didn’t make a difference — he was infinitely stronger than you, and you knew that he’d get what he wanted one way or another, whether he take it from you or you submit to him.

 “were you not being a distraction for your good friend to complete the objective?” he barely pulled away as he spoke, his tongue trailing along your bottom lip, ready to plunge itself into your mouth the second your lips parted.

 you wouldn’t kiss him back, and you surely wouldn’t let him stick him tongue in your mouth, but he had his ways. one harsh bite of your bottom lip forced you to gasp and part your lips for just an instant, giving him the perfect opportunity to move in. he let out a satisfied hum as his hand moved further up your side, his other hand joining to help push your shirt further up your body until your chest was exposed to his touch.

 “wesker, we can’t—“ you managed to stutter out between his incessant kisses, his hands wandering and groping at your chest continuously, pulling and twisting at your hard nipples.

 “yes we can.”

 finally the echo of a generator being completed in the distance sounded, and your heart skipped a beat, a little smile creeping across your face. you were surprised dwight had managed to pluck up enough courage to even complete one generator, but it meant there was a chance you could both escape…you just had to keep wesker distracted long enough.

 wesker grabbed a hold of the back of your neck and threw you to the bed that was beside the window, you yelped at the impact and it wasn’t even a second before he grabbed your ankles and flipped you onto your back, dragging you down the bed towards him all in one fluid motion. his hands worked quickly at stripping you from your clothes, not giving you much chance for protest. before you could move your hands to cover yourself up, he was already on top of you, kissing up and down your neck while he slotted himself between your open legs.

 “don’t fight me, you know you won’t win…” he whispered in your ear with a mocking tone which made your stomach twist around itself.

 the familiar squelching sound of his tentacles sliding out from the sleeve of his coat filled the otherwise silent room, and he responded with a chuckle when your eyes widened at the realisation of what he was about to do.

 you shook your head and made an attempt to close your thighs, but his body made it impossible to even try. the tendrils slithered up your thigh, leaving a cool, wet trail behind them — you whimpered quietly to yourself as you felt the tip of one of them rubbing up and down your cunt, and you couldn’t help but shudder. you didn’t want to feel good, you didn’t want him to do this but the feeling of them touching you in a way you’ve longed to be touched was too much almost immediately.

 “w-wesker,” a quiet moan, “please don’t.”

 your begs fell upon deaf ears, after all he could tell by the way your legs quivered at his touch that you wanted this just as much as he did, maybe even more than he. the tentacle rubbed up against your throbbing clit, moving round in circles as much as it could to stimulate you while another prodded up against your hole. you winced at the feeling of it slithering its slimy way into you, stretching you out just a little too much for it to feel good straight away — but the feeling of pain quickly subsided as it began pumping in and out of you at a calm pace, pushing itself as deeply into you as it possibly could, the other tentacle still rubbing at your clit to distract you.

 “fuck—“ your back arched from the bed and your hands found their way to his shoulders, your fingers digging into his leather coat.

 wesker leaned down and kissed at your neck, biting and sucking to leave his mark while his uroborus fucked into you, gradually speeding up the more your cunt tightened around it. the knot in the pit of your stomach was building up too quickly, but he wasn’t done with you, as his lips met yours, another tentacle slipped into you; this time it was in your ass. as you gasped his tongue pushed its way into your mouth, moving and exploring just as his tendrils did to your holes.

 the sounds of moaning and your wet cunt being fucked started to fill the room, as much as you hated yourself for giving in and letting yourself be used like this, it felt too good to care. his tentacles all moved quicker at a different pace to one another, burying themselves so deep into you, you didn’t even know it were possible.

 “that’s it, submit to me.” he leaned back and kissed down till his mouth latched around your nipple, his free hand tugging and pulling on the other.

 “wesker—“ your back arched and your pussy clenched around the tentacles, his name continuously falling from your mouth as you finally came, hard.

 before you could even register your orgasm, the tentacles retreated back and wesker slotted himself between your thighs more snuggly. he teased his cock up and down your wet slit before pushing straight into you, not giving you a second to adjust to the girth difference before he was pounding into you. he fucked you with an ungodly speed, another proof that he wasn’t a human, he was something a lot more than that.

 ���fuck…” his voice was nearly inaudible, but still you managed to hear him say something you didn’t think he’d ever say.

 he pushed your legs up to your chest and held his hands against the back of your knees, giving himself a better angle to fuck into you. every thrust had the tip of his cock kissing your cervix but it didn’t hurt, because every single thrust had him hitting that gummy spot inside of you that had a moan being forced from you against your will. it didn’t take much longer for his tentacles to reappear, multiple of them wrapping themselves around your legs and arms — two pushing themselves into your ass while two teased your tits. as you opened your mouth to beg wesker to slow down, a tendril forced its way into your mouth, pushing its way deep down your throat and making you gag with each violating thrust.

 your eyes watered, you were overwhelmed and overstimulated but wesker and his power showed no signs of stopping. he was going to break you, mind and body, and there was nothing you could do to stop him.

 the sound of another generator popped in the near distance and you couldn’t help but whimper, there was still a chance. your eyes were looking out the window toward the sounds as you felt a stinging pain across your face.

 “do not take your attention from me, from this.” he pounded into you with almost brutal force with each word he spoke.

 tears began rolling down your cheeks as you came again, you could barely breathe, barely see, barely even stay awake. your entire body ached with every hole being abused so brutally, so amazingly. you looked up at wesker the best you could but you couldn’t keep your eyes open. you could hear him laugh at you and say something, but you’re not sure what he said, you couldn’t concentrate enough. he used that moment to flip you onto your knees, his hands gripping tightly at your hips while he pumped into you, his tendrils still not moving from what they’d been doing all along.

 your upper body collapsed against the mattress, only your hips being help up by weskers grip on you. the sounds of your muffled moans, weskers panting, and the slick sound of tentacles abusing you was definitely loud enough for dwight to hear if he came anywhere near the house, but in that very moment you couldn’t care less. wesker slapped your ass with every few thrusts, his leather gloved hand making it sting just that bit more, but he intended for his hand print to be left behind long after he had his way with you.

 you couldn’t tell how much longer he was fucking you for, how many times you came and had your juices running down the inside of your thighs and onto the mattress below, how many tears you shed into the pillow your face was buried into but finally the final generator popped. it didn’t take wesker much longer to coat your womb with his cum when he heard that familiar sound — he wasn’t happy.

 his tentacles slowly removed themselves from your stretched and abused holes as he stepped away from you. you instantly crumpled into the bed and coughed, catching the breath you hadn’t been able to get for as long as his tentacle was shoved down your throat.

 “you stay here, I have someone else to deal with,” he stood and sorted his clothes out before brushing his hair back out of his face, “then I’ll be back to finish what I started here.”

final destination characters and what movie/tv shows i think they would like

alex - the walking dead. has seen every single episode even though it’s been running for over a decade. says he could probably survive a zombie apocalypse. is the biggest glenn defender ever.

tod - community. 100%. when the movie got announced he went apeshit on twitter. he loves troy, has seen every episode at least twice, and actually liked the fourth season for some reason.

george - he doesn’t watch tv unless it’s like a sport. look at him. if he had to pick, brooklyn 99.

clear - shameless. she sat through all eleven seasons, would have watch parties with her friends, and liked to take notes on the psyche of the characters. she HATED frank with a passion and loved fiona. actually cried at both finales.

billy - my babysitters a vampire. claims it was his “childhood” and is still upset they ended it on a cliffhanger. rory def rubbed off on him growing up. he prefers the first season to the second but has seen each episode like a million times. will sing the theme song totally unprompted

carter - breaking bad. actually tried making meth cause he thought walter had the “right idea” with the money. is the kind of guy to retweet sigma male edits of the characters

terry - locke and key. watched it cause she thought the main villain was hot, and when he was a girl too she went crazy on twitter. live tweeted the second season, and will defend kinsey locke to no extent.

kimberly - first kill. clear or shania told her to watch it saying it was like a better version of twilight. (she loves twilight). she was on the front lines trying to keep the show from getting canceled. she has probably made an edit of caliette. she’s crazy like that.

rory - he also likes breaking bad, but he’s more into better call saul. saul goodman is HIM. literally so relatable and babygirl. he saw better call saul first, so when he showed up in s2 of brba he went APESHIT

eugene - abbott elementary because there is “finally” a REAL show about what it’s like to be a teacher. he also never gets into sitcoms so it was a shock for him that he liked it so much

nora - bones. she LOVES crime dramas on daytime television, and bones is no exception. she finds herself trying to figure out the twist every single episode. she also gets way too into the characters. (tim was explaining to her that bones was autistic coded and she went :o)

tim - kid LOOKS like henry danger, but i’m gonna say malcom in the middle. secretly wished for a big family growing up. alex told him that the father makes meth and since tim didn’t know about brba he was actively seeking out that plot line.

evan - literally anything with wrestling.

kat - the office. not in like, a “basic” way or anything but because she is a businesswoman and needs to feel included. she likes pam a lot. wanted dwight to die once. she got through about eight seasons before calling it quits.

wendy - i feel like she’s a house md fan??? idk why or how but it just makes sense to me i suppose. probably an rsl fan or something

kevin - okay unpopular opinion but i feel like he’s a huge fan of the will forte era on snl. he’s a will forte fan in general so he’s probably seen clone high, last man on earth and macgruber

ian - def a santa clarita diet fan. trust me when i say this man was having meltdowns on twitter when it got canceled. you have never seen him more passionate in his life!

erin - okay this is very unpopular and very out of character but she has a guilty pleasure show and that is dawsons creek. joey is her fave and she is Completely Normal about pacey + joey. her regular show is yellowjackets, however. god bless cannibalistic high schoolers

Why adaptation Jonathans always suck

The amount of love on this tag for Jonathan recently got me thinking – why do all adaptations have such a shitty Jonathan? Why is he always the boring other guy when his book character is so compelling? My theory is it’s the 1931 film’s fault.

More than the book, I think the cultural idea of Dracula is tied up in the 1931 version, I mean how many of us were shocked to discover that in the book Dracula has a moustache? I think for the average person, when you say “Dracula” their mental point of reference is this aristocratic, romantic figure who looks and speaks something like Bela Lugosi’s portrayal in the 1931 film. Instead of the inherently monstrous Dracula from the book, this version frames Dracula as a charming, seductive figure, with Lucy being attracted to the attractive, foreign Count she meets at the opera. The script helps, but Lugosi specifically chooses to play Dracula as this romantic, mysterious figure; he would later say “to win a woman, take her with you to see Dracula” to boast of his powers of seduction over female audiences. I’m not going to claim I’ve seen every Dracula adaptation, but going forward while most versions didn’t necessarily make him a sympathetic character, I can’t think of any later versions that didn’t make Dracula appealing on at least some level and I think that’s due to the cultural impact this adaptation had.

The issue with the 1931 version is that aside from Lugosi and Dwight Frye as Renfield (also probably the portrayal that did the most to form the cultural idea of that character), most of the actors suck and the script doesn’t always give them much to work with. Jonathan is at most a secondary character as Renfield is instead the one who travels to Transylvania on Dracula’s request (the trauma of that visit is the reason Renfield ends up in Seward’s asylum here). So Jonathan doesn’t get much to do other than be concerned about Mina. All his big book moments are gone so all you’re left with is this bland figure who’s just kinda there, meanwhile Lugosi is walking around working a cape. When given the choice between the two, I can’t imagine many people choosing the soggy piece of old toast that is Jonathan in this version over Lugosi’s charismatic Dracula. And like I said, the actor isn’t good enough to rise above the failings of the script (funny enough the same guy is the “lead” in another Lugosi movie, “The Black Cat”, where again he is bland and boring and you just want to shove him off-screen constantly to get to that sweet Lugosi/Karloff action).

TLDR the most iconic adaptation (ie. the one that all later adaptations would seem to be adapting rather than the actual book) has a shitty Jonathan so most adaptation Jonathans suck.

🎔 + Dwight and Evan

Send Me 🎔 + A Ship And I'll Tell You || ACCEPTING! (Please only send in blog ships though!)

OKAY SO I THOUGHT QUITE A BIT ABOUT THIS ONE, and I kind of hemmed and hawed over answering it cause I'm not much of a Dwight/Trapper shipper, and I more so exclusively ship with Kirb and their version of the resident 'done nothing wrong ever in his life' killer Philip! But I figured I'll do it for fun and the meme and to challenge myself to branch out a bit more with Evan! Shipping with him is uhhh, it's a tricky subject, but I don't want to close out his ability to have interesting dynamics at the same time!

Who wins a prize at a carnival/fair/festival: OKAY, HEAR ME OUT, logically? Evan, I mean, look at him, he has the strength even in rigged games to throw his weight around! But, for comedy purposes, I feel like Dwight is EXTREMELY lucky when it comes to carnival games. He will win games that should be functionally unwinnable. The carnival workers want to kill him. Evan is laughing so so hard and frankly the ability to have that is the best prize at all. Poor Dwight will never be able to show his face in this carnival again, he'll be banned for life, but it's WORTH IT.

Who does most of the cooking: Evan! Surprisingly enough, when given the opportunity to embrace it, Evan's a house husband at heart and he loves to provide. Be it with a hot meal (a commodity in the realm) or a hand patching up the wounds after a successful escape from a trial!

Who does most of the shopping: Dwight, not that Dwight enjoys it, it's just that Evan is more than a little insecure about his burns (not that he'll ever admit it, and seeing people, the expressions they make seeing his wound and hearing the comments and upset from children) ... it's not a nice feeling, and Dwight sees it, feels it for him and offers to do this chore for him. No, you're not being a burden, Evan! He likes it! (he doesn't), he'll just pop in his headphones and be done fast! No doubt!

Who is hopeless at board games: Dwight, remember what I said about Dwight being lucky at carnival games? Reverse it for board-games, he SUCKS and somehow it seems like every dice has a personal vendetta against him. Evan is more than happy to claim the victory though!

Who is always trying to make the other laugh: Dwight, enough said there, Evan is a man of stoicism, which makes it so so much more rewarding when he cracks! Haha

Who has a tendency to give out TMI: Neither? Both Evan and Dwight have massive hide it away energy, just cause like, they're both a bit on the prudish side and given Evan's relationship with his sexuality... YEAH

Who does more DIY projects: EVAN, he's such a dad, he always has a hundred little projects around his little shack to keep him sane. He's such a dad at heart, honestly!

Who is the big spoon: Evan, I fear he has the Toxic Masculinity and he MAY DIE if he is little spoon

Who gives more casual affection: Dwight!!

Who reads to whom: EVAN INSISTS DWIGHT READ TO HIM, Evan isn't a bad reader, though he does have his difficulties at times, it's just that he finds he focuses on the stories and retains things more readily when he's being read to, and double so when he enjoys the voice of the person talking to him. Dwight squeaky toys when he hears this, looking up at Evan in a kind of 'thats exceptionally adorable, you like my voice?' and Evan is regretting admitting that fact at all since Dwight is gonna be *weird* about it (Dwight isn't weird, Evan's just flustered and embarrassed)

Who brings drinks and food without being asked: EVAN! Caring for people in a quiet and more understated fashion, like remembering favorite foods and bringing snacks is a big gesture for him!!

Trouble in Transylvania- Renfield x Reader (Dracula 1931)

Summary: You and Renfield travel to Transylvania as newlyweds but an unexpected turn to events leads you both to meet the infamous Count known as Dracula.

(Based on the 1930's version of Draculaura. Decided to finally finish writing this since the movie Renfield will be released soon and I love Dwight Frye's performance)

I continued resting my head against the window to the carriage, hoping to be able to get some more rest. I had never been much for traveling but this time I decided to join my husband on his trip. We got married early this week and him as a real estate agent was being sent off to Transylvania instead of Jonathan Harker who was much too busy to travel.

I fought the man to take his place since I wanted my husband and I as newlyweds to enjoy our time together. Unfortunately, things turned around for the worse.

We were a bit tight on money so Renfield accepted on going to Transylvania and I refused to leave his side. I closed my eyes and tried my best to fall asleep, though it would be impossible since the rays of sun kept hitting my face. My husband was excited since I decided to come over to Transylvania with him, my father on the other hand was worried but didn't question me any further.

I felt a squeeze on my hand and opened my eyes to see that we had arrived at a village. "We are here, my love." I smiled warmly at my husband as we both watched outside.

Some people were excited to receive us but some I noticed closed their doors and windows. "Did you see that?" I question letting go of my husband's hand when we stepped out of the carriage and he began to grab our belongings.

"Don't think much of it. They are probably shy around newcomers." He plays it off and smiles at a small crowd of people who surrounded us, to greet us.

I look around my surroundings and noticed that very far away from where we are is a castle laying on top of a mountain. That's odd.

My husband was busy talking to another man who was talking in Hungarian. The man seemed anxious, the man next to him seemed relived to see new people around. I continued looking around wanting to also learn more about this place.

I felt my husband looking at me lovingly when he reached to grab my hand and planted a kiss on top of it.

"Ah! I see the look in your eyes. We have a new young married couple." The man cheered looking at us, some speaking in Hungarian.

"Oh, we are not here for our honeymoon." I tried to say.

"We need to head up that castle." Renfield said to them both.

"He's saying that the man is afraid." Another man said showing up behind Renfield and I.

"Why should he be? I noticed people loving up their windows as well. We don't want anymore trouble, we came here for just one job." I insist wanting all of this to be over.

"We're here to meet Count Dracula."

We watched as the man's faces slowly changed to horror. "Count Dracula? Dracula's castle?"

"Yes. That's where we're going."

I noticed the man still looking terrified and a woman nearby praying as soon we we spoke of the Counts name.

One of the men continued to shake his head. "No, you mustn't go there. We people of the mountains believe that castle has vampires. Dracula and his wives."

I stare at him confused, "Wives?" as in plural?

"They take the form of wolves and bats. They leave their coffins at night and feed on blood of the living."

"That must be all superstition, right? How can vampires be a real thing." I said trying to play it off. Oh, I do hope that isn't true.

"Look the sun, that's when they leave their coffins." The man warned us and ran off. My husband and I exchanged looks and deep down we both were terrified of what the man said.

"Come we must come indoors." The man said.

My husband grabbed my hand and we both began to follow the man for more questions surrounding the place, the man didn't convince my husband, he insisted on leaving.

An older woman stopped us before entering the carriage and handing us a small silver cross.

There was a moment of silence between us as we rode the next carriage. It was getting darker and I could feel a strong tension between us, the air felt heavy and cold. I kept glancing back at my lap and outside staring at nothing since it was imposible to make out anything.

"You…Y-You don't think what they said is real?.." I mutter and glanced back at my husband, as I played with the cross the lady back then gave to us, tying it as a necklace around my neck.

His eyes met my dark ones and I could sense him also shivering, and I'm sure it wasn't from the cold.

"There's nothing for you to worry about, (Y/N). We'll just spend the night and first thing tomorrow morning we'll head back home." He said trying to cheer me up and smile.

I was still uncertain about coming to this place at night. Everything seems off and I can feel eyes on us despite being inside the carriage still. I looking down at my lap when I noticed my husband peering to look outside.

The carriage had stopped and my husband was the first to step outside and we noticed that the man driving us up here wasn't present. "It's like a ghost drive us up here." I shiver and reached out to grab Renfield's arm.

Renfield remained silent and we both stepped back when the door to our right creaked. We both exchanged looks and he began to step forward but I remained still.

"We'll just take a quick look, it worn take long." I didn't trust my husband's words but decided to go inside with him than to stay outside.

Once we entered the castle, sound of bats nearby could be heard along with howls of s wolf nearby. "This is…"

I couldn't put into words the castle interior looks, creepy, elegant and expensive.

"I am Dracula. I bid you welcome."

Renfield and I quickly turned to look up at the stairs and saw a tall man, with hair as black as a raven's feathers, pale as the snow, wearing s dark and expensive suit with a long cloak.

I was frightened by his presence, we didn't even hear him coming in. Renfield was surprised by it but didn't show it, immediately going over to introduce himself and I.

He had the papers which were to be given to the Count himself, we followed Dracula who showed us one of the rooms we would be staying it.

"Miss (Y/N). I have prepared a different room, i hope it is to you liking." Count Dracula said, his eyes lingering on me.

Renfield furrowed his eyebrows together while examining a few documents. He also felt uneasy about Dracula, I could tell. I looked away refusing to meet Dracula's eyes.

They seems to be calling to me, his eyes are cold yet alluring.

I forced a smile on my lips but had to face him since it wouldn't be polite look away. "I appreciate you taking the time, count Dracula. But Renfield is my husband, I wouldn't mind sharing the bedroom with him."

I assured him and placed my hand on my husband's shoulder. Renfield placed his other hand on top of my own, the silver ring adorning his finger and showing to Dracula that we are married

I remained stating at the ground and could feel Dracula staring at us, at me. "Excellent. Whatever you wish my dear." The man smiled and began to pour some wine for us on a crystal glass.

He poured two for Renfield and I. I found it off that a man like him would refuse a drink. "Aren't you going to drink some?" I ask wanting to know.

Dracula gave us a small smile and stood back tall. "I don't drink wine. I prefer something a but more sweet, if you will."

I saw the man lowly said with his very Hungarian accent. Renfield took a sip and I knew Dracula wouldn't give up until he would see us drinking, "I-I appreciate the wine, Count Dracula.. but I regret to say that I won't be able to savor the taste."

Now both men stared at me. Renfield s bit confused on why I wouldn't drink the wine. "I understand." Dracula said nodding his head once.

"I will leave you both to rest."

The man stood back tall as ever and elegant. Renfield and I remained silent until we were sure that he had left the room.

I took a deep breath and felt my heart pounding . I reached down and grabbed my husband's hand and examined his wound, as soon as the small cut landed on his skin I saw Dracula looking weird.

"We must leave this place first thing tomorrow mornings." I whisper refusing to leave his side when he stood up, I wrapped my arms around him and felt him hugging me back.

"Now my dear, there is nothing for you to be scared of-" I followed his eyes when we saw three bats outside of our room, the windows were open.

All of a sudden my husband fainted and I was left to run to his side and I felt frightened when I saw the Count all of the sudden appear, now disappearing of his bat form. I sensed something behind me and I turned around to see three woman in white gowns, almost looking like ghosts

My eyes rolled to the back of my head and I also fainted falling over my husband. I felt the world dark and cold, feeling cold hands grabbing me and moving my hair away from my neck.

"Seward's Sanitarium"

The building that was once in front of me read in bold in front of the metal gates. "You are mistaken, doctor. I am not crazy. I k-know what I must say can sound weird but it's true! I was stuffed inside a coffin, found everyone of them dead and was taken out of the box by..my husband..where is he?!"

I exclaimed sitting still and looking at the doctor in hope. The man wrote a few things down and stared at me weirded out. "He's gone mad, Mrs Renfield. He's in our care now. Though it would seem that you are talking nonsense but you are not as insane as him."

Doctor Seward stopped talking when the doors opened and I saw an older man in glasses, looking almost as elegant as Dracula.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss. My name is Van Helsing. You arrived along with Mr. Renfield, yes?"

The voice of the man made me calm down, seems to be the only one willing to listen to me. "Y-Yes. We came in the boat with the dead passengers."

The man smiled just a little and took a seat next to me. "Your grandparents and I were once friends, I'm sorry to hear that they passed away long ago.. tell me..what do you remember?"

"All I remember is waking up, I hadn't realized I was in a coffin until I heard the voice of my husband. He took me out of the coffin, i didn't see anything strange in him but he did begin to act weird when I heard him talking to someone..Mr. Van Helsing can I see him?" I pleaded hoping he'll let me.

Dr Seward Harker and Van Helsing exchanged looks. "I don't think-"

"I think this could be a great opportunity. Renfield hasn't been communicating with us, maybe he'll explain to you more on what happened." Van Helsing said.

"This woman here isn't insane, Doctor. Let's see what can happen." I nodded thanking the man. I followed Van Helsing close until we reached a room with two men standing guard.

Doctor Seward was just behind us but remained silent. "Try not to anger him, he can get quite violent." He said before I would enter

"I doubt he'll be able to harm me doctor."

"Just know that the man in there may not be the same man you once knew." Van Helsing told me which made me feel upset.

I took a deep breath and entered the room and saw Renfield staring outside the window. "Renfield..dear.." I softly spoke.

Renfield slowly turned and tilted his head to look at me. His eyes seemed different, almost insane like. "(Y/N)?" He sounded surprised to see me.

My lips quivered and without warning I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around him. Slowly I felt him wrap an arm around me and rest his head on my shoulder.

I heard the door open again and Renfield quickly stepped back against the wall, insanely staring at Van Helsing and doctor Seward.

"Did they harm you?" I felt Renfield right behind me and staying hidden since I had stepped between the men.

"They didn't. All they've done is help me..did they harm you?" I ask slowly and see his dark eyes look between me and them.

"They won't let me eat spiders anymore."

I furrow my eyebrows together confused and looked at the doctors instead. "He believes that those are sufficient nutrients for him, since he can't feed off of blood." The nurse told me.

"What did Dracula do to you?' I ask glancing behind.

"He seems to stare outside at nights and howls along with the wolves." I heard Van Helsing's tell me. "Renfield has been warning us about Mina's safety."

Mina? I turn and the doctor answered that it is his fiance. He filled me in that women have been dying under strange circumstances, all of them of blood loss. This is definitely Dracula's doing.

"Did the master harm you?" I turn to look back at my husband and I shook my head. Despite him being under control by Dracula, he still worried about me.

"I haven't been harmed in any way. I think the reason why he didn't, is because of the silver cross I have around my neck, I know this isn't the right time..but we have to do something about all of this. Another reasons Dracula mustn't have hurt me, is because I am expecting.."

Renfield furrowed his eyebrows together in confusion until his eyes roamed down to tm stomach. "A child?" He asked surprised and I forced a smile across my face.

"Yes, this is why we have to stop Dracula." I told him as I held his hand and I turned to face the doctors.

"Whatever plan to have, you can count on me to try and stop Count Dracula." I told them, desperate to put and end to this, to have a normal life again here back in England.

Van Helsing nodded once and took slow steps to us. "In the meantime you'll be staying under my care, Miss. I'll have you meet Miss Mina as well, together we'll try out best to stop whatever may be happening."

[cartoonbabbles]

Ok so I know this is technically "Cartoonbabbles" BUT it's also my general fandom account soooooooo fuck it. I just finished the entirety of The Office.

What the fuck do I do with my life now? List out my thoughts on Tumblr while listening to pop songs covered by Hatsune Miku of course.

dear lord season 8 was hard to get through

Why'd they have to do Andy like that like- I appreciate a good snarky guy x secretary ship but come on, Erin and Pete are cute but they're just Jim and Pam to the point where the writers actually poked fun at that.

Andy learning to be okay with himself was actually pretty nice, and you don't need to have a partner to be happy. And I really liked that.

Oscar being the gay uncle to Phillip was fun, I love how he's a fashion icon

Daryll was such a real one throughout the entire series, and I wish him the absolute best

The Farm was. Odd. I don't think I could have stomached it so I'm lowkey glad it didn't happen. It was fun but like- Dwight might be strong enough to shoulder an entire series but I did NOT care for any of his family. Like part of the appeal of The Office for me was that they're a family that found each other, not a family who was placed into a situation they have to make the best of (I understand the irony here but still)

Jim and Pam falling in love again was really sweet

Holly x Michael forever

I loved when Michael kinda just accidentally became Erin's dad.

AND ERIN FOUND HER PARENTS AT THE END MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTT

And Dwight got to be regional manager

Honestly though I think if they needed Andy to not be regional manager, it would have been as simple as giving him his "aha" moment that he was being stretched too thin when he realized he had a passion for acting and resigned voluntarily, letting Dwight step up without interrupting something that obviously had momentum with Erin (also the two of them emotionally maturing together would have been amazing, because again as much as I love Pete and Erin, Erin choosing and wanting Andy was a lot more organic imo than just. Andy leaves on a boat. Like if you need him gone just say he gets really badly sick bc Erin's brother gives him a nasty cough. Or have Erin leave with him for the Bahamas or something and have her be the one calling in as Andy is captaining.)

But I digress

Michael Michael Michael. Where to begin

I keep saying this but I feel like the reason why the show got so rough after his departure was because everyone associates Michael with being bombastic, inappropriate, and spontaneous, but never with anything positive. And the writers saw his bad sides and just amplified them in the initial versions of Nellie, Robert, and DeAngelo.

Vickers was funny bc he's Will Ferrel and I like Will Ferrel, but he started overstaying his welcome bc the writers couldn't commit to him being any one thing, then the writers unceremoniously kill him off

Jo was fine bc she had both the hardass and vulnerable sides.

Robert California, boy what I could say about him. The writing got tangibly worse whenever he was onscreen bc like- it wasn't even that his actor wasn't familiar with comedy, it's that sex jokes get OLD SO FUCKING QUICKLY. AND ROBERT IS ONE GIANT SEX JOKE. It doesn't help that his behavior stems from his selfishness and he fails to recognize it whereas with Michael at least he tries to own up to things. Robert is just Elon Musk the person.

I'm glad Jan was able to get away and improve herself, she seemed to really love her kid. And then that final interaction kinda bucked that away

Uhhh let's see. Nellie. Initially SUPER annoying bc there is no way in hell anyone like that makes it through business. Like there were initially ZERO redeeming qualities to her. Until Andy decided to be an A-hole to her.

Honestly Andy was just mini-Michael but handled less well bc people were afraid he wouldn't be as cool as him, but that's because he's ANDY. Not MICHAEL. And he could have learned from Michael. But I guess not.

Somehow I really liked the overall queer vibes. The show's writing is old (see any time they talk about trans people) but the writers in general seemed to know trans people aren't demons.

Oh my goodness I am so glad Pam and Roy split. Roy was NOT healthy to be around back when they were together and Jim was TOTALLY good for her.

I'm gonna really miss being able to watch the show from the beginning again.

Something I am very critical of however (or like, just aware of) is how much of the humor is built on sexual harassment and assault like- beyond looney tunes or other cartoons the amount of workplace harassment, while on average likely accurate to any workplace, is genuinely disturbing at times.

Damn. Gotta find something positive

I loved Val, wished they were able to do more with her, her thing with Daryll was really cute

Oh my god Erin is pretty

Basically. Women. God it's 3 and I'm simping over office workers

I don't know why they tried to pitch Andy as this unattractive guy. He's DORKY, not REPULISVE. And I may have accidentally developed a celebrity crush on him

Honestly I kinda feel bad for him, like he's being stretched so thin but he doesn't know any response other than to go 100% in the other direction

Also he was pretty bad to Erin

God positives, come on Sasha.

Openings were always nice.

Jim and Karen were genuinely a good healthy couple for their run

I just wish the show hadn't pitted Pam and Karen against each other cuz like- Karen was in the right most of the time, if not all of the time???

I had no idea Idris Elba was on the show. He indeed is quite hot.

Gabe. Nobody likes Gabe. Tobey is appealing in the wet cat pathetic kinda way, Gabe is just kinda. Creepy. Like jesus dude.

This is a positive because I hate Gabe.

ALSO ERIN BEING MORE ASSERTIVE TOWARDS THE END???

PAM GETTING AWAY WITH BEING OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR???

gosh I love it.

[ubyr-babaj]

A list of Renfield I'd fist-fight Satan for in no particular order (tw for sexual assault mentions)

1977!Renfield. I love this man, he never did anything wrong in his life, he hit his asshole boyfriend with a chair, he's autistic, gay and quotes Blake. Everything about him is perfect, new adaptations want what this man has. I'd absolutely fight Satan for him.

2. Dwight Frye Renfield. I have feelings for the guy, ok, I'd like, write poetry about his face if I knew how to write anything that's not cringe sonnets in prose.

3. Pablo Alvarez Rubio Renfield. People shit on this guy too much and I know why they shit on this guy (it's the racism). But he's good and his Renfield is good and I wish he was allowed the same dignity Frye was allowed as a white pretty boy. Also I just like the thought of a rape survivor who's pretty ripped (the guy did serious boxing) and still couldn't avoid the assault:

4. Ballet!Renfield. I really like this man, he's very shaped. Although there're some choices choreography-wise that have some serious sexual assault innuendos (mostly between him and Seward and him and the rest of the Crew), so like... Yeah.

5. Penny Dreadful!Renfield. No reasons, I just want to fuck this guy, he looks warm.

6. Pfrozheim!Renfield. The punk king, absolutely mean gay, doesn't take shit from anyone. I don't think he needs me to fight Satan for him, he'd like choke the guy on his own.

7. Stephan Vinzberg!Renfield. Again, mostly for I'd smash reasons, but also because it's one of the few versions where Renfield actually looks older than Dracula, so it's a plus.

[radiodeerr]

Can you send your opinions about our little pathetic and cute boy, Renfield? i watched the movie 2 days ago, and I adore and love him to no end.

uh of course i can!

first off, i agree!! i only watched the movie yesterday but i’ve been obsessing over clips of it for months (i hadn’t had the chance to buy it) and i am not disappointed at all honestly 😭

anywyas!! i love renfield SO much, hes such an amazing character and AHHH hes truly perfect!! i love his personality, especially when he starts to branch out from dracula and you can see how adorable his character actually is!! the bright colours and outfit change in his apartment is so!!! i love it.

his character is absolutely perfect i adore him so much <3

[also dont even get me started on dwight’s version of renfield in 1931 - i love his performance so much]

note : feel free to add more asks btw!! absolutely adore them :D

[mlobsters]

supernatural s8e23 sacrifice (w. jeremy carver)

are we gonna make nic cry (it's a low bar but s7 finale managed to not make it)

JODY It's not a date till I've cried.

we're definitely leaning into full on bad guy crowley this season. i liked when he was more ambiguous. maybe he'll help, maybe he'll fuck everyone over. dragging jody into it, now. all right

not me feeling more emotional about bobby's scrapyard than i did about seeing actual-bobby again

CROWLEY Nice try, squirrel. Moose is doing these trials. Moose signs. DEAN No, no. He's not signing anything until I read the fine print. [SAM yanks the pen from DEAN] SAM I can read it. DEAN Hey, you wanted me here. I'm here. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna let him screw us even more. CROWLEY What's this? Trouble in paradise, boys?

crowley's turning into a bit of a caricature. too much of a good thing maybe

DEAN I can do this all day, 'cause you know what? Damn, it feels good! But sooner or later, you're gonna have to face it -- you're ours. Which means that your demon ass is going to be a mortal ass pretty damn quick. CROWLEY [to SAM] What's he mouthing on about? SAM You're the third trial, Crowley.

a) ignoring any bitch implications b) you know i really dislike torture but even i got a little vicarious satisfaction from dean punching him c) i've got a hodgepodge of demon dean/mark of cain nebulous plot awareness that's on the horizon but no idea how they come to pass, so my mind keeps wandering wondering if this or that is related. focus!

CASTIEL Yes. Would you say that you're looking for, uh, a partner in crime... ...or, uh, someone who's into nurse role-play and light domination? DWIGHT Brother, it's 10:00 a.m. on a Tuesday.

sir, this is a wendy's

lovely shot but it feels like the shiny happy people version of s1 true detective which is on the brain because of this video of a deleted scene i posted a bit ago which is just (gorgeous) extended moody atmospheric location shots of coastal louisiana set to appropriate music

SAM Honestly, for the first time in a long time, it feels like we're gonna win. I'm good.

TAKE IT BACK, SAM.

dean's just trying to help!

the sick damp puppy look is just too precious for words. dean, give him a hug and some soup

lovely lovely. even more true detective s1 vibes (that season of that show was one of the most beautiful things... southern gothic atmospherics off the charts. ugh. i made an edit with it and hannibal because the rust cohle is will graham is rust cohle of it all)

true detective s1e2 seeing things

DEAN Anything? You've been gone long enough. CASTIEL No. There was one female, but... DEAN What? CASTIEL ...I don't think she was female

heavy sigh. transphobic jokes are evergreen

followed up by dean being flabbergasted for .. 10 seconds? that the cupid love match thing was two men. fuck you, show. i know, it's nothing new. but back to back, i'm exponentially annoyed

and i'm so disinterested in this heaven business i'd never looked up naomi's actress. she was sam carter on sg1! totally did not recognize her without the blonde hair. i didn't watch a ton of sg1 but enough to be quite familiar with the mains

stargate sg-1 amanda tapping as samantha carter

anyway. back to sam being half dead and abaddon smoking out (was it red? they did this with crowley too and i wasn't sure it wasn't just the lighting on the black smoke)

again the twilight/zombie looks good on him

this crowley thing.. this whole girls (tv series) speech his voice is higher pitched and the accent changed? what is going on

and are we supposed to be feeling something about crowley crying and wanting help from sam with asking for forgiveness? the time given his speech and music says yes, but my brain says excuse me what now. offering his neck up like bella, mushy music swells

DEAN Metatron lied. You finish this trial, you're dead, Sam. SAM So?

glad i knew that was coming

okay so i've watched this whole church scene several times now trying to figure out why it's not hitting any emotional buttons. padalecki is working his ass off and doing amazing and i'm getting nothing from jackles, subsequently i'm feeling not much of anything. did they break my emotions? which is extra weird because the text of this conversation is like.. romantic catnip? should be breaking and remaking my heart and yet...? just for a hint at the end the music reminded me of the expanse and THAT made me feeling a little something. so, like a broken record, i'm blaming this partially on the musical score.

SAM Look at him. Look at him! Look how close we are! Other people will die if I don't finish this! DEAN Think about it. Think about what we know, huh? Pulling souls from hell, curing demons, hell, ganking a Hellhound! We have enough knowledge on our side to turn the tide here. But I can't do it without you. SAM You can barely do it with me. I mean, you think I screw up everything I try. You think I need a chaperone, remember? DEAN Come on, man. That's not what I meant. SAM No, it's exactly what you meant. You want to know what I confessed in there? What my greatest sin was? It was how many times I let you down. I can't do that again. DEAN Sam -- SAM [beginning to cry] What happens when you've decided I can't be trusted again? I mean, who are you gonna turn to next time instead of me? Another angel, another -- another vampire? Do you have any idea what it feels like to watch your brother just –

like this really should be stabbing me in the gut and it's just not and it is such a shame because really, padalecki is doing so good with it. damnit, show, what did you do

DEAN Hold on, hold on! You seriously think that? Because none of it -- none of it -- is true. Listen, man, I know we've had our disagreements, okay? Hell, I know I've said some junk that set you back on your heels. But, Sammy...come on. I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this bastard and all the sons of bitches that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you! It has never been like that, ever! I need you to see that. I'm begging you.

"don't you dare think that there is anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you" like hello, feelings, this is insane, where are you

the only part that worked for me is the little handfasting moment

do not to get to see this soft smile very often

DEAN Just let it go. SAM I can't. It's in me, Dean. You don't know what this feels like. [DEAN wraps a bandanna around Sam’s cut.] DEAN Hey, listen,we will figure it out, okay, just like we always do. Come on. DEAN Come on. Let it go, okay? Let it go, brother. SAM Hey, Dean. DEAN See? [ SAM Breathing shakily then Sam doubles over in pain. DEAN brings SAM outside the church. ] DEAN Sam? I got you, little brother. You're gonna be just fine.

calling him brother and little brother in one go

apparently i've forgotten already how cas and megatron left things in the time i spent trying to wrap my head around my (lack of) emotional reaction to the church thing. ah right, it was a spell, needed castiel's grace. that's why it's raining angels

the music, the effects.. this all hit the right notes at least. reminded me a smidge of stranger things with the music and rain and the car and ominous things happening in the sky.

see, imagine this show, but with the music of stranger things. like, really well done music cues, not just bad generic weird fake rock blues whatever and classic rock because we have one character note about his musical preferences and we're gonna ride it into the ground. i'm so bitter about the music in this show letting it down! lol

so why did fandom glom on to the spelling of cas? since it's pronounced cass. and is cass in the captions and scripts. having never heard it but seen it a bunch, i assumed it was going to be pronounced caz. cass too feminine?

(for the record one tear came from the expanse-like musical cue and i don't think spn gets the credit for it. i'm stunned, honestly)

so sometimes, i will admit, i have a kneejerk dislike - or anger, of something that seems irrational considering my shipping preferences. like, in 2x11 playthings and sam honestly looks like he's about to kiss dean, i was mad. i felt like they were baiting this thing that would never go anywhere, i was pissy about the gay jokes in the scenes prior at the front desk. now with separation and seeing 6 more seasons, i see how they actually have often stuck to this plausible deniability romance dynamic between them and made it more textual without making the impossible full commit to gay incest on the CW.

i don't think that's what's going on with me and the church thing because i'm not like freaked out->upset->pissy, i'm just... not feeling it. super weird

trying to keep a list of the horrifying results of castiel's attempts to do the right thing.... there's just so many 🤪

[flameswallower]

hi i just read your story "appetites" in tower magazine, and i loved it so much i had to find your social media and let you know! renfield has always been my favorite character in dracula, and you have expanded on the world of the novel so vividly and lovingly, i was super impressed!

Thank you so much! Renfield is also my favorite character-- admittedly, my affection was initially sparked by Dwight Frye's performance and chemistry with Bela Lugosi in the 1931 movie, but the book version is cool, too. A fascinating window into how people (or at least pulp writers) were thinking about mental illness in the Victorian era. Something I'd be interested in exploring, but did not get to in this particular story, is the parallel between Renfield and Lucy as characters from aristocratic backgrounds whose status as mentally or physically fragile/defective means they are nonetheless deprived of agency and freedom in a lot of ways. In most adaptations, their conditions are implied or stated to be 100% caused by Dracula, but the novel makes it clear that Renfield's madness and some amount of Lucy's fragility or sickliness (signified by her propensity to sleepwalk) predate any Dracula contact. That's really interesting!

[ask-the-dweets]

Where did the idea of making three different Dwights come from? ps: I love them all 💕

Weeeelllllll there was a few factors that lead me to make the blog the way it is.

Main thing is when you're making a blog it's good to give it a quirk or something to make it unique! So, 3 Dwights was good for that.

Also, I am an indecisive idiot and didn't know how I wanted to portray Dwight so I made 3 different versions of him to cover most of my bases.

I almost had 4 but I couldn't decide on a personality for the 4th, I thought having an open space for in trials with the 3 of them would be good anyway

but basically I went with the 3 basic versions/playstyles of Dwight I saw around!

Pizza the locker/ baby Dwight caricature

Fancy the compassionate Altruistic leader, the closest to base Dwight, still a little off imo

Elf the toxic Dwight, the Dwelf everyone warns you about in trials

Also I am ill and just love Dwight so much that making multiple versions of him so I could do more with him sounded like fun. And it has been!! lots of work though x_x multi muse blogs are rough lol.

Sara Reads an Infuriating Book, the Conclusion

Friends, I have finished W Scott Poole's Wasteland. Here are some notes on the last two chapters:

Chapter 4:

Like chapter 3, this mostly discussed subjects outside my bailiwick - the chapter focused mostly on the rise of fascism in Europe and America throughout the 1930s and only touched on film a little. And the films it did discuss are, to my mind, only horror films if your definition is very broad: M, and the Dr Mabuse movies.

I have one small rant here: Poole, in discussing M, talks about the movie's "fully human monster" and the fact that American and British film wouldn't "fully explore this subject for another three decades." And I thought, okay, sure - making a movie as frankly about a child killer would be pretty confronting even today, that seems fair.

But no, this is not what he means, because the films he uses as examples of British and American films exploring the subject matter are Psycho and Peeping Tom, which means we're just talking about serial killers.

Sir. Even leaving aside movies like Murders in the Zoo and Mystery of the Wax Museum (which he's going to discuss in the very next chapter), between 1927 and 1944, people in Britain and the US filmed three separate versions of The Lodger. I am absolutely not claiming that these movies are anywhere near as good as M, but you cannot argue that no one outside Germany made a serial killer movie before the 1960s.

On the up side, this chapter did remind me to rewatch M and that I've always meant to get around to the Mabuse films.

Chapter 5! This chapter was called "Universal Monsters", which of course made me excited. Unfortunately, this is the last chapter, so Poole has to cram a lot of stuff in and can't really give anything enough space for proper discussion. Especially since this chapter is as scattered as all the others: we do discuss the American horror cycle of the 1930s, but we also have to drop in on Lovecraft, T S Eliot, and Machen (as we do every chapter), as well as discuss the revival of Spiritualism, the collapse of Victorian mourning culture during WWI, and some thoughts on ghost stories as comforting when compared to, y'know, the omnipresent mutilated corpses that Poole never stops talking about.

Because there's so much, nothing gets a lot of focus. Here are some bullet points:

Poole does not discuss the 1931 Dracula at all. It gets a sentence or two marking that it has been made, but no discussion of the actual film. And sure, you can't talk about everything, but my dude! You have been yammering on about symbolic/metaphorical portrayals of shell shock for chapters now and you don't want to talk about Dwight Frye's Renfield? We're just going to move right past Lucy quoting "Stand to Your Glasses" to a literal walking dead man? I get that you talked about Nosferatu a lot but damn, that seems like a hell of an omission.

Talking about James Whale and his horror movies: "We unfortunately have really nothing from the director himself regarding how the war shaped his vision of horror." THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. Look, I am generally death-of-the-author as hell and I think that Poole's reading of most of these films is a legitimate and valid reading. I just object to the idea that it's the only valid reading, especially when he never presents solid evidence other than his opinions about the films.

Petty nitpicking time: friends, I just watched every damn one of the Universal Invisible Man movies and there is no suggestion in any one of them that Griffin is “a disfigured scientist who seeks invisibility to hide his mutilated face". That's just wildly inaccurate. Poole loves facial disfiguration so much that he sees it in films where it does not appear at all. (Claude Rains as Griffin is visible for all of 10 seconds in the original film, his face is entirely unmarred and, frankly but irrelevantly, really lovely.)

Even pettier nitpicking: if you are going to make a snarky comment about people mistakenly referring to Frankenstein's assistant in Frankenstein and Bride as Ygor, it's going to come off better if you remember that the character in the original film is named "Fritz" and not "Karl". Karl is in Bride.

I will admit that I only skimmed the Afterword because, frankly, I've been reading this book at work and I got to it when we were about to close up and go home. Thus, I don't have anything to say about it.

In conclusion! This is not the most infuriating book about horror I've ever read, because Poole a) doesn't hate people who like horror and b) doesn't think that all horror stories are about incest. I disagree with a lot of his conclusions, but mostly because I think he's making too strong a case on too little evidence and I don't like anything that only allows for one reading of any work of art. I also found the structure irritating and I think parts of the book would be better if the scope was narrower - wandering off to talk about Surrealist painters or T S Eliot every damn chapter got old after a while.

It's absolutely not the book I would recommend for a first entry into horror film history - that's still Skal's The Monster Show. But, if you want some context for 1920/30s horror film, with a focus on European film, it's not a bad book to argue with or make film lists from.

And now I have to go track down Shell Shock Cinema by Anton Kaes, because it's the book in the works cited that sounded the most interesting.

what is the ultimate best dracula film and why 🤨✍️

oh this is so hard. there are so many dracula films that are good in different ways,,,, i’m gonna do top three

dracula dead and loving it- comedy version of dracula that pays homage to universal and hammer film versions. i’m a slut for horror comedy and this movie is just so fun to watch. has one of the funniest staking scenes of all time, that’s where my header gif is from lol

dracula: pages from a virgins diary- this one is gorgeous, it’s an artistic interpretation of dracula as a silent film and a ballet, it’s one of the more accurate to the novel adaptations and highlights the xenophobia and misogyny in the book. and it’s just. the cinematography is beautiful it’s such an amazing experience

dracula (1931)- the original. iconic. when people think of dracula they think of bela lugosi. the atmosphere, the dramatics. based more on the stage play version than the book, but i can forgive the inaccuracies. and the rubber bat<3 also dwight frye as renfield, he put everything into that performance and i LOVE it. (special shout out to the spanish version of dracula 1931 i love that version soooo so much esp the acting for renfield and eva)

My personal Danny/Jay Ghostface Headcanons [DBD]

So like every self-respecting dbd Ghostface fan i have my own personal version of Danny Johnson. I changed his name to Jay Walker to differentiate him a bit but I wanted to share some stuff about him, because I JUST THINK HE'S NEAT.

He's nonbinary but presents more masc. His pronouns are they/them and he/him

Bisexual Menace

When out of the costume, he's a perfect gentleman and is very good at social interactions but he doesn't stand out. He purposefully tries to blend into the crowd and just be a only sort-of interesting person

They are not really out of the closet in terms of their gender identity because it's too much of a hassle when you have to uphold an image and kill, so they're very lowkey about being nonbinary

When in costume their personality changes quite a bit and they're a bit of an overdramatic jokester. Very forward. Loves taunting people and being a flirty mess, on top of being a threatening killer

Once he arrived in the fog and he has to don the costume pretty much 24/7 he became more comfortable being himself without the mask as well, although he still slips into the more quiet nature when he takes it off, which puts off some of the other killers and survivors

Has suffered abuse from his dad in his youth. His dad was also his first kill

They are extremely cunning and calculated in their approach to stalking and killing, despite their seemingly cocky nature

His idols in the Fog are Micheal Myers, Huntress, The Doctor and The Deathslinger. He thinks they're cool

He's frenemies with the trickster (it's complicated) and hangs around with the Legion a lot (he likes pretending to be a mentor to them)

Survivors he likes: Zarina, Laurie, Ace, Adam and Yun-Jin (He respects them for their personalities and cunnings)

Survivors I ship him with: Meg, Dwight, Mikaela, Zarina, Kate

Killers I ship him with: Trickster, Frank, Julie

And that's all I can think of rn. If you have any questions regarding him feel free to send me an ask, i love to talk about ghostface headcanons <3
