Hot take but there is no depiction of Dracula/Nosferatu that I think is scary or even interesting besides Eggers Count Orlok. Like, he looks like a sweaty lightbulb in every other movie but in Nosferatu 2024 he looks so perfect in every way. Historical and otherworldly, towing the line between corpse and nobleman.

I have two schools of thought for the three meals of the day and their labelling.

1 - the specific time of consumption ie morning, noon, and night, corresponds with the label. Eat random food in the morning period? That’s breakfast. Eat random food at night? That’s dinner. Etc.

2 - the order of consumption is the indicator for the label. The first food eaten of the day is breakfast, the second lunch, the third dinner, and the cycle repeats come midnight.

Which do you prescribe to? Or do you have a different thought?

I drew a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea AU of sorts, in which Nemo survives the maelstrom, and Aronnax finds and takes care of him.
