"Jonathan and Mina Harker ran, sprinted, fucking BODIED that marathon, so that Edward and Bella could flounder in the shallow end"
-My wife, 2025
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
Hey uh @re-dracula what the FUCK was up with the pro-Trump commercial I just heard at the beginning of an episode??! Do you all pick your commercials or are they out of your control?
“Under President Biden costs skyrocketed” um actually shut the fuck ALL the way up right now. Trump is literally adding extra taxes to every item just for fun.
Once more have I seen the Count go out in his lizard fashion
My good friend Jonathan is going on a very important business trip next week. Everyone wish him luck.
Mina Harker is truly the female character of all time. She's an incredible amateur journalist, she's happily married, she's the nicest person in the world, she's bisexual, she's possessed, she's memorized the railway timetables, she's Experiencing Misogyny, she'll be dead soon
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.
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!
I’m sat drunk in the beer garden of a rock bar and some chick is happily explaining that “So Jonathan Harker goes to this castle in Transylvania and he doesn’t know he’s in Dracula, right” to a guy who seems totally enthralled and I wish them nothing but the best
