there's always something so eerie about the fact Jonathan travels to Castle Dracula for the most mundane of tasks. This wasn't supposed to be some grand adventure or even a dangerous journey. This was supposed to be a business trip. This was supposed to be a baby lawyer tackling a very basic task in his boss/mentor's stead. This was supposed to be Jonathan Harker's way of establishing himself in his profession. And you look at that and wonder where it all went wrong? How did it end up this way? But there's nothing that could have been done to prevent it. Jonathan, based on his prior knowledge, experiences and biases, had no reason to think the locals' warnings had merit. He barely understood most of them. And he has a job to do anyway. He has to prove himself capable. So he goes to Castle Dracula and then it's too late to turn back. The descent begins and the thought lingers, 'this was just supposed to be a business trip'

The locals, too stuck in the time loop, trying to warn the young foreign traveller each time, and failing

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

being inside the castle makes it difficult to see things as they are // much of jonathan’s fastidious attention to detail in his diary-keeping can be understood as a solicitor painstakingly laying out the case for his own trustworthiness as a narrator - i know this sounds crazy, but i’m not crazy, look, you can see exactly what i ate and drank, these are not the ramblings of a madman, i promise, i can prove it, i hope

Hi hello I’m looking for more dracula moots/more dracula blogs to follow so if you’re a dracula blog interact w this in any way🩶

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

to me this is when the horror really kicks in. we’ve had spooky shit and creepy vibes and a general atmosphere of foreboding, but none of that holds a candle to what happens here, which is that jonathan does not want to go forward to the extent that he recognizes he is doing so only because he has no other choice. he catches on to the fact that they are going in circles, and, using his mind (and his legal training, perhaps) to avoid jumping to conclusions without the appropriate logical support, he devises a plan to prove it - only to find, having done so, that it doesn’t really matter, because he can’t bring himself to say anything anyway, because if he says something and it turns out he is being driven around in circles purposely, he remains a powerless passenger in the middle of a dark and dangerous forest totally at the mercy of his driver, and the only thing that would change is he would know for sure he is being fucked with. that’s all very scary even without the wolves and the blue flames and any other supernatural shit!

[kajaono]

Dracula dressing up as the driver, quickly running inside, changing his whole look, and opening the door, being super mysterious… will never fail to make me laugh 😂

[sunshine-zenith]

Jonathan: everyone keeps looking at me a whispering “victim,” “murdered,” “psychological horror,” and “cannibal”

Jonathan: lol weird, I’ll have to ask my host, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, about it when I see him

[widdendreams]

literally every single person in town as soon as they learn where jonathan is going:
