If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born.
🥀Break the world's shell!🥀
Things that Adaptions have robbed us from #5829:
Van Helsing having red hair! He doesn't have gray hair yet, which should tell you he's on the younger side of being "old"!
I'm in a new fandom. You know what time it is- in-universe tma memes. Pov: you work at at the magnus institute

It'd be interesting to make a chart of various Dracula adaptations and how they deal with certain issues. Things like:
Dr. Seward is:
Lucy's ex
Lucy's father
Lucy AND Mina's father
some rando
non-existent
Renfield is:
Just some guy (old)
Just some guy (young)
Jonathan Harker
Jonathan's employer
Jonathan escapes the castle by:
Dying immediately
Getting killed by the Girlies
Getting turned into a vampire
Becoming Dracula's thrall
He just leaves
He was never in the castle in the first place
This character does not exist
Seriously the options are WILD. I haven't consumed nearly enough adaptations to do it myself but I think it would be a very funny group project
Jack Seward: Vampire Coded
I really like the theory of Jack being vampire-coded, not only because he is a foil of Dracula but because it shows how the abuse of power can come from within the house (or rather within the asylum). So here is a list of vampire-like traits he's exhibited so far:
-Has a good forehead and strong jaw, just like Dracula is described as having a prominent forehead and "strong chin"
-Doesn't sleep at night except for the help of chlloral
-Monologues about the "natural order of things". Dracula with his lineage and warrior blood and Jack with his superior rationality over Renfield.
-Jack is described by Lucy as having an intense stare and wanting to psychoanalyze her (later Renfield), which implicitly recalls how Dracula has power over Lucy through his hypnotizing red eyes.
-Uses a lancet, which is a small instrument for blood letting. Speaking of blood, he describes Renfield as having a "sanguine" temperament twice. What's next, drinking blood?
-Feels lonely and compelled to love someone, just like Dracula wants to "love" Jonathan. Now this is pretty interesting -- Jack is more like a gothic brooding hero that Dracula tries to be in a lot of media adaptations. He's in love with Lucy and yet he uses Renfield as a replacement.
-Being alone vs being lonely. Dracula is lonely, even though he lives with three vampire women who are familiar with him. Jack has friends who he keeps at a distance because of unrequited love. Of course this is a bit of a stretch as we tend to think of all three suitors as a parallel to the vampire women, but I'm throwing this in anway.
Again, this isn't like definitive, but I thought it was interesting!
The harrowing and heartfelt part 2 to this. Congratulations to the century-old sweethearts. 💖
relistening to mag 03 and i do say this every few months or so but i cannot stop thinking about how blatantly insanely obvious it is that amy patel was touched by the eye
the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it
Exclamation marks, but instead of a huge line of them, we do like Roman numerals of them.
You know. To save space.
