"Mina is Dracula's long lost lover and Van Helsing is his archnemesis" shut the fuck up it's the exact opposite of this
hate hate hate the simple fact that i have to bother other people about my problems if i want support for them
As we approach Dracula Daily season again, just a gentle reminder that, even though it has been going for several years, there are still people who are doing this for the first time, have never read Dracula before, and would like to have as spoiler free an experience as possible, so please tag spoilers!
I know it's a little ridiculous to tag spoilers for a 128 year book, but the chronological reading is so important to Dracula Daily and it's good for people to be able to choose their own experience. It can be a bit alienating if they can't explore the tag and interact with other people excited about the same thing for fear of spoilers. If you're not following along closely and just enjoy keeping up with the memes (which is how I usually do), just try your best to see if what you're posting/reblogging is something that's already happened this year or not.
Where can I find a friend who shares the same hyperfixation as me? FYI it’s a 128 year old novel about a silly little english lawyer who goes to stay with a weird guy™ who doesn’t show up in mirrors, has questionable bedtime habits, and can scale walls like a lizard.
in dracula there is a cowboy and the female lead lives. in nosferatu there is no cowboy and the female lead dies. ergo, the existence of a cowboy is highly important for the survival of the female lead in a gothic vampire story.
Weird question but is anyone doing anything special on May 3rd aka the Day Our Good Friend Jonathan starts sending us updates on his travels? I'm attempting paprika hendl, if I can find the right kind of paprika in time.
they should invent a medicine that makes the aching jagged wound in your soul close

Dracula is cleaning his castle.

From now until May 1, 50% of proceeds from sales of the Re: Dracula Audiobook and Re: Carmilla Supercut will be going to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund!

My good friend Jonathan is going on a very important business trip next week. Everyone wish him luck.
Everyone wish my good friend Jonathan luck, he's studying to pass the bar rn and apparently has a big work trip/promotion thingy coming up 🥺
I am loving the building excitement in the Dracula Daily fandom...We’re not even halfway through April but people are posting memes and giggling...Jonathan's trip to the Carpathians is almost upon us! It's like Advent for Harker fans.
(Was making a Moon Knight meme and accidentally reset the base image into something infinitely funnier.)
At the end of this month we'll be rescheduling all the Re: Dracula episodes for re-release on their dates! If you're part way through your Dracula listen now would be a good time to finish OR just wait and rejoin the fun in May.
At the same time, we'll be moving the Re: Carmilla episodes to their own rss feed! These won't be re-released on any schedule, just moved over. If you're part way through your Carmilla listen, don't fret, you won't have to wait.
in the end all you have is yourself, your comfort fictional characters and archive of our own
the whole lucy sickness arc is just everyone writing "it's so over" "we're so back" "it's soooo over it's never been more over" "nvm we're so back she's basically cured now" "NOPE we're fucked it's so over" back and forth for a month
