the real treasure is the cats we ate along the way

So I love Dracula but I particularly love Dracula Daily season on tumblr so I’ve made an attempt at a fan collage of our good friend Jonathan as he starts his absolutely normal business trip. He’ll be completely fine.

How these papers have been placed in sequence will be made manifest in the reading of them. All needless matters have been eliminated, so that a history almost at variance with the possibilities of later-day belief may stand forth as simple fact. There is throughout no statement of past things wherein memory may err, for all the records chosen are exactly contemporary, given from the standpoints and within the range of knowledge of those who made them.

Bram Stoker, Dracula

I miss Dracula so heres a silly drawing of it as a muppet movie XD

I hope you enjoy, and have an AWESOME day!!

Every year I watch that white boy go, with no way of warning him. No way of letting him know. Helplessly watching him devour his paprika chicken before journeying the road to his doom. Don’t go, white boy. Don’t go.

Jonmina the gothic romance ship of all time. Jonathan plans to climb down the side of a castle and all he can think of is Mina. He gifts her the record of his darkest secrets and she seals it with her wedding ring. She starts to turn into a vampire and asks him to kill her. He says fuck no I will murder everyone we love and damn my soul for eternity before I live a second without you. They name their son after their dead friend. Your dark fantasy book boyfriend WISHES he had what Jonathan Harker has.

Friend said something about bugs and vampires and of course I very casually mentioned to him that bugs are actually pretty important in Dracula and he was like oh cool and then a few minutes later he mentioned how he used to eat bugs in kindergarten and I was like. Dude. You're not gonna believe this

[professorsparklepants]

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

I've never read WH but we stand in solidarity with you 😭

[combustable-head]

Gothic literature must be cursed to forever be misinterpreted by mainstream public because how did this happen

Dracula book: an evil count who only sees the world as a resource to be drained for his own pleasure is stopped by the group of people who deeply care for each other

Dracula in media: a tragic romantic hero, main love interest of one of the protagonists who must be liberated from her dull little life

Frankenstein book: any human has capacity for evil when completely abandoned and shunned by the world and the people who brought him into it

Frankenstein in media: don't play God because it's against nature's laws

Jekyll and Hyde book: repression and only caring about external appearances can cause your worst impulses to indulge themselves in dangerous ways if ignored for too long

Jekyll and Hyde in media: what if there was two of the same guy but one of them was evil and gross?

I’ve been reading Dracula for the first time, im about halfway through, here’s my take on it so far

The polycule learns about monster hunting

[coughingupfeathers1]

Maybe the real moral of Dracula is that it is in fact not only possible but attainable to be your therapist's favorite patient, but it is also explicitly a bad thing
