DRÁCULA ERA ESTÁ AQUÍ (RONDA 3: EL GEMELO SECRETO)

Querido Draculario | Marla Hectic | Substack

Inspirado por la idea mente-galaxia que es Dracula Daily, aquí llega tu Drácula Diario, ahora en español. ¿Listes para conocer a Jonathan, M

Hi! Yes, this post is going to be in Spanish, weird of me, right?! (Also, just editting my previous post, it's been A YEAR).

Allons-y!

Como bien es sabido en estos terrenos de Internet, leer Drácula de forma colectiva en sus fechas apropiadas se ha convertido en una tradición MARAVILLOSA, y llevo ya dos años publicando día a día la versión en español...

...con sus errores, de cosas tan leves como una coma que baila a (ahem) dejarme un día entero sin subir. El año pasado ya hice correcciones (con ayuda externa y con mi propia persona), pero si siento muchismo decir que apenas he podido apañar nada este año...

...aunque se viene revisión con un objetivo mucho más tocho a futuro. Si va saliendo, más sabréis...

...Espero que os agrade la ya tri-repetida idea, personitas hispanohablantes/con curiosidad por practicar el idioma con uno de los mejores clásicos de la Literatura-TM en general (y de la vampírica en particular). Y, además, aunque en menor cantidad, en esta edición se conservan los interludios dando la chapa sobre cosas Drácula-adjacent.

PD: antes de empezar esta bonita aventura, tenía fijados lo que tengo fijados mis fics del año, pero esto me parece más importante, still, ahí está el enlace, just in case (demasiado rato sin Spanglish llevaba ya)

What if you were 14, and your house CAUGHT FIRE, and a vampire SAVED YOU, and another one TURNED YOU into a vampire too, and now you have TWO dads, and you're RICH, and you LOVE drinking blood, and everything is AWESOME, but then you turn 18, but you're STILL 14, and you realize you will ALWAYS be 14, and you accidentally KILL your first boyfriend, and you have a BREAKDOWN, and your evil dad becomes an ABUSIVE JERK, and your dads briefly break up, but then your nice dad WANTS THE ABUSER BACK, and you're just FUMING, and you convince your nice dad to MURDER your evil dad, and you run away TOGETHER, and you find more vampires in PARIS, and everything is AWESOME, but then work life is AWFUL, and your dad starts fucking your BOSS, and everything SUCKS, but then you meet a weird lady who matches your FREAK, and you make your dad turn her into a vampire too, but then your evil dad comes back ALIVE, and everyone wants you DEAD, THEN W--(you die. Then you die)

And what if you were DEPRESSED and bored out of your mind for THREE CENTURIES STRAIGHT, but then your ex's HUSBAND and DAUGHTER came to town, and his husband is HOT, and you FALL IN LOVE, but his daughter is a BURDEN, and you want her GONE, and your coven conspired to have her KILLED, and you just wanted her GONE not necessarily KILLED but you won't complain, and now there's TENSION, but you and him still get MARRIED, and he CHEATS on you with everything with two legs and a cock, so you BRAINWASH him, and flash-forward 52 years later, and after 514 years of existence you FINALLY have some stability and safety in your life, but then your husband decides to invite home THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE (whom you ALSO had to brainwash), and now you're STRESSED, and they GANG UP against you, and everything is REVEALED, and it's a huge MESS, and your husband wants a DIVORCE, and the love of your life is OLD and SICK and DYING, so you have to MAKE HIM IMMORTAL, and then you just have a BREAKDOWN and have to DISAPPEAR, and your husband runs back to your toxic common ex, and you're more ALONE than ever before, and then you and the love of your life start STALKING each other AGAIN, and he wants to interview yours and your ex husband's ex who is also now a ROCKSTAR, THEN WHAT

What if your dick was SMALL, and the farm girl you fucked told EVERYONE about it, so now you have to MOVE CITIES and become an ACTOR so you can HIDE your pettiness behind your profession, and then SOMEHOW (???) you manage to convince a VAMPIRE to make you immortal, but you PISS yourself while he does it, and now he thinks you're GROSS, and then the hot vampire leader of his theatre company KILLS him because that was against some fuckass vampire laws, so you decide to JOIN them and become the biggest STAR(BITCH) in the house, and everything is fucking GREAT for a while, but then some fuckass American appears, and your hot boss starts FUCKING him, which means he gets free passes for fuckass behavior, and you're fucking JEALOUS and PISSED, so you talk EVERYONE at the company into staging a COUP, and they make YOU the leader instead, and you now feel like your dick is the biggest one in the house (but it still isn't), so then you FUCK AROUND and FIND OUT--(no THEN WHAT here, he very dead)

What if you were BLACK and GAY and a PIMP in early 20th century Louisiana, and you FELL IN LOVE with your super hot STALKER, and you got MARRIED, and he wants to CHEAT, but he doesn't want YOU cheating, and you want a DAUGHTER, and she's THE BEST, but she HATES your husband, and she wants you to KILL him and his sidepiece, and so you DO that, but then he HAUNTS you, and then you MISS him, and then you go to PARIS, and you meet MORE gays there, and their leader is HOT, and you FALL FOR HIM TOO, but then your husband comes BACK, and EVERYONE wants your daughter DEAD, and they KILL her, and you completely LOSE it, and you burn EVERYONE, and you get a DIVORCE, and you marry YOUR EX HUSBAND'S EX, and then in the 70s you decide to have someone INTERVIEW you, but you lose it AGAIN, and it all goes to SHIT, and then everything is a BLUR, and then it's 2020, and there's COVID, and you decide you want to be interviewed AGAIN, and you discover your current husband BRAINWASHED YOU, so you get ANOTHER divorce, and you're now TWICE divorced before you're even 150, and you run back to your first ex, but then that fuckass reporter PUBLISHES your interview as a BOOK, and your ex is MAD, and you want him BACK, but he decides to become a ROCKSTAR, THEN WHAT

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.
