Jonathan on the 12th: This thing isn't human, I just watched him scale the bloody walls like a fucking lizard, what sort of beast am I forced to be in contact with????
Jonathan on the 15th: Saw the old bastard scaling the fucking wall again and honestly fuck this shit I am so over it hope he falls actually.
"I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina's eyes and cause her pain; but it is the truth."
I note here that Jonathan does not think he must protect Mina because she is frail or weak. Nor does he wish to keep secrets from her. Rather, he feels shame at his desire that is unworthy of one who is so loved and knows that that desire may cause intense pain. However, he records it anyway, believing that that is something important, perhaps even sacred, in telling the truth.
Bram Stoker wrote Mina Harker phenomenally then everyone else has been trying to "fix her" and falling flat on their face tripping over their own clown shoes
"hehe silly little englishman" ahh fandom 💔🥀
Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that
First time Jonathan sees Dracula crawling down the castle walls: Shock! Horror! This is not a man but surely some demonic creature!
Second time Jonathan sees Dracula crawling down the castle walls: whatever, dude. I'm so over this shit.
Honestly I think Johnathan would benefit from some deep breathing exercises. Maybe even some stretching or yoga. Throw some meditation in there and he will be fine
Oh my god you throw ONE mirror ONE TIME and tumblr is never gonna let you forget about it
No Dracula Daily today. Guess he's dead already.
Dracula season started again so enjoy this little thing in which I accidentally gave Jonathan a bit of a mullet
the harkers
No word from my good friend Jonathan for two days now :(
everything is a queer metaphor if you have eyes to see
no one prepared me for how fucking funny dracula was gonna be. u hoes wax poetic about dracula daily in a thousand different ways every year and never once have i heard anyone talk about how much dracula absolutely sucks ass at being a mysterious creature of the night. it is day 3 and the only reason johnathan hasn’t thrown the word “vampire” around is cause this is a work trip and his boss and dracula would both kill him in short order if he did lmao.
i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
New Dracula stage play.
Cynthia Erivo as 23 characters.
Sounds grea--
*sigh*
Once more have I seen the Count go out in his lizard fashion
I bet you didn’t expect my weird “experimenting” to be this shitty Frankenstein doodle huh
"i ought to be thy adam, but i am rather the fallen angel"
I'm always shocked when Lucy says that Mina and Seward would make a good couple if it wasn't for Jonathan because........I just cannot see it lol. Not to get into a ship war with Lucy Westenra but......
The way my mental health currently hinges on what the people inside my phone think about a book that was written over a 100 years ago
Me anytime I get a notification from Substack that isn’t Dracula Daily: this isn’t my dear friend Jonathan Harker >:(
Happy May 12th !!
I get it we all love a gay relationship and Mina and Lucy would be the cutest couple but let's not erase the very real love Mina and Jonathan share, theirs is not a lavender marriage
Do you wanna see possibly the worst retelling ever?
You look at the goodreads summary and you think, "Well, that's sort of interesting."
But then you see the inside dust jacket.
And it only gets worse.
Is... is this author aware that Dracula DOES have Mina's POV? Like we know what Mina feels about it. We know Mina's perspective. She likes her husband, typewriters, and trains.
Feminist Dracula, y'all.
my favourite thing about 'Dracula' is how Mina Harker is the cleverest strongest icon out there: girly can write shorthand, learn train timetables by heart, keep a diary daily (my procrastinating arse could never), retype and organise a ton of written information AND a literal audio diary in like a day (????), and deduct the randomest niche stuff like it's nothing?? QUEEN behaviour period. Which is why, while I definitely love the cinematography and the cast in the 1992 film adaptation, the plot absolutely pissed me off. Of course the og misogyny in the novel was very unnerving and impossible to ignore (for me personally) but I bet even Mr Stoker himself would have had a stroke if he'd seen the way they reduced Mina's character to a mindless girl obsessing over the count. Tbh some ooc fanfiction I've read had more 'in character' figures than whatever the hell happened to Mina. Which is fine as an artistic interpretation of the og material I guess but explicitly calling the film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'-- the audacity lol. The vibes were on point though very reminiscent of the book
Mina, my beloved, is back!
Mina, clever, brave, extraordinary Mina. Tech obsessed Mina. Record keeper Mina. Demands to be part of it all, not left to the side to be rescued Mina. Unholiest love Mina, adored by all but especially Jonathan. Devoted best friend even beyond death. Train fiend Mina. Absolutely prepared to work if her husband can never recover and support him despite living in an era when women just did not do that. Mina, who has the courage and strength of will not only to tell Dracula to fuck off but fucking use the psychic connection he established to hunt him. Mina who never NEVER had any mind of secret love forbidden romance thing with the Count.
Partner: WHY on earth do you have 'Check on Johnathan' and 'Listen to Dracula' on today's to do list? Right next to make tea/cut pineapple/fold laundry, what does it mean?
Me: *gazing off into the distance* Our dear friend Johnathan Harker is in peril, yet again, but there is nothing we can do... [ proceeds to explain the whole plot]
Partner: Oh, well ok thats fine I guess, I hope his day gets better
Me: It will absolutely not be getting better
