My husband said he kept forgetting that Dracula was the bad guy. And I was like, yeah that’s the point. What I love so much about Dracula (the novel) is that Dracula (the character) acts like a normal person (for the most part) when he’s being especially horrible to Jonathan. Yes the supernatural elements are there, but what makes Dracula such an evil villain to me is what he does in the capacity of a regular man. He uses etiquette to trap Jonathan. He pretends destroying letters is fine (when they both know it’s not) the manipulation Dracula does to Jonathan throughout his stay at the castle is what makes Dracula scary to me. Because anybody could do that (and they do.)

And how do they defeat Dracula in the end? Through friendship. Through communication. Obviously there is still that supernatural element, but they couldn’t have pulled it off if the Harker’s had stayed isolated. And that is how normal life people get out from under abusive and manipulative relationships. By communication, and friends supporting friends. Anyway I just think it’s really cool.

3 years ago today, Taylor Swift announced the evermore vinyl!

It was the first and last time she gave evermore some love. This remains a rare moment in history!
