obsessed with the era of historical fashion between the 1860s and 1870s where aniline dyes kept being invented. you can find some absolute eyesores (affectionate) of dresses that were only made that way because “acid magenta” was invented last month and it was trendy.

like this iconic gown:

or this one from the 1870s in aniline purple and aniline black:

or a trendy yellow and black gown from c. 1865, perhaps?

feel free to reblog with additional eyesores (affectionate) that i might have missed

A very happy Quincey P. Morris Day to all who celebrate! At last it is time to, as Bram Stoker's notes put it,

Bring in the Texan

Having now gotten to the end of the book, I gotta ask... How on earth did we get here, where in almost every stinking adaptation of this book for over a century has decided the characters worth trimming down or completely cutting out are the two who actually kill Dracula.

Made an animatic summarising the entire book as a tribute to Dracula Daily and @re-dracula ! English subtitles provided, with translation by me and @ignitingthesky.

i remember back when dracula daily was starting again this year, there were a bunch of discussions about dracula actually being a timeloop, and discussions and polls about who in the cast is the one who remembers the loop. i don't remember who i voted for then, or whether there was a general consensus, but on this year's reread...

i think it's quincey.

(spoilers ahead)

quincey who shows up in the moment that lucy needs him most, when she needs another transfusion and arthur is gone and john and van helsing are too spent. quincey who mentions, almost offhand, a story about a vampire bat, about a horse who lost too much blood.

maybe this time it'll be different, he thinks. maybe this time his blood will be enough to save lucy, not just fend off the inevitable. maybe jack will read more into the story he tells, will realize that there's something else going on. maybe, later, when he fires his gun at that massive bat, maybe this time he won't miss. and he knows it won't kill the bastard, but maybe it'll weaken him, delay him, enough to save mina and jonathan from some of the heartbreak that's coming. maybe this time they'll all survive. maybe this time he'll get to see lucy and arthur get married. maybe this time he'll get to meet mina and jonathan's son. maybe this time.

someday, he'll do everything right. but until then, he'll keep doing what he can.

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.
