(1) quincey’s Laconic (tm) support

(2) very funny that mina assumes this is the first time arthur has totally fallen apart in a heap of grief and tears given that we’ve watched him slide to the floor in grief from seward’s eyes and practically need to be carried out of the graveyard by the boys

(3) in even MORE Bram Turn On Your Location news, i’m obsessed with the moment where mina chooses to place human kindness over propriety and touch arthur’s hand and also swiftly concludes that because arthur also has his third eye open he’ll get it and not make a thing about it. social mores are very important to the characters in this novel but also the characters in this novel are never punished for breaking social mores (which they do repeatedly) and arguably are (also repeatedly) punished for following them, and i am supposed to be normal about this? hello????

#sorry i know we’re all preaching to the choir on this but like #literally whomst is out here reading mina as traditionalism embodied…#like how do you….. like but that’s not in the book. it’s not what the book is about. it’s #whatever. it doesn’t matter. here at tumblr dot edu we are all agreed. it’s fine.#dracula daily
