To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious! Dracula (1931) dir. Tod Browning & Karl Freund

honestly the way vampires do and always have subverted the gender binary is something that will always interest me. there is something incredibly gender euphoric about how lord ruthven was described. it calls to mind more modern interpretations like ricean vampires (rice’s fiction, of course, has its own incredibly problematic faults) or even sections written by bram stoker that focus heavily on the vampire(s)’ red, blood-stained lips from mr. harker’s point of view.

#ooc #tbd #anyway i never post here but #had been talking with a friend about this today and it just made my trans ass feel very happy #but also keep in mind that a lot of these gender subversions were written about poorly to be made 'scary' to a georgian and victorian #audience. which is to say these writers aren't ground breaking or to be held on a pedestal for this #i must exclude mrs. rice from this summary of course #but stoker had an obsession with also using motherhood as a point of horror in his book #or rather the lack thereof

i saw no one had capped it yet and knew what i had to do. from ozhogin’s latest instagram share.

if any of my followers have a copy/boot of bal vampriov from any of the 2012/13 (ozhogin + either gazaeva or sveshnikova) shows and would not mind sharing it with me, i would be very grateful. my own copy was mistakenly erased on a shared drive, and i’m willing to share what i have left in return.
