Bram Stoker & Richard Marsh both opened their book with a mpreg malewife and I think that’s beautiful

Bobert: "Hey, if all you're going to do is leave me on the carpet, can I at least be for-real dead? Or maybe not a naked brain-puppet?"

The BEETLE: "Neither! You need to remain alive and bare-assed to go rob the great Paul Lessingham--the Statesman--the Politician's house!"

Bobert: "What?"

The BEETLE: "Paul Lessingham--the Statesman--the Politician. Doubtless you've heard of him, his greatness, and his em dashes."

Bobert: "No??"

The BEETLE: "YOU LIE, EVERYONE KNOWS HIM!!"

Bobert: "I don't know how to say this without being further Beetle'd, but not everyone is as into your crush within the governmental bureaucracy as you."

The BEETLE: "You insult the BEETLE's dreamy nemesis? You feign ignorance of his great statesman-politics? oh! oh! living-death eternity for Thief!! living-death eternity for One Thousand Years!!!!"

A request from @thegoatsongs: "Rob finding the Beetle in bed but it's literally a small bug tucked in with a little nightcap"

I think that Theb is very cute here!

Saw a post saying that with a less generous employer, Jonathan could have ended up like Robert Holt (homeless) and it reminds me of how while Jonathan thinks he will die and calls him his second father, Mr. Hawkins is ultimately his job provider who took him in and is no actual family and security. Jonathan wants to leave, but he says "What could I do but bow acceptance? It was Mr. Hawkins’s interest, not mine, and I had to think of him, not myself", and when he is sick in Hungary he just formally apologizes for the delay, and says that he has gotten his work done. Nothing else. And he immediately resumes working once he returns despite the fact that he can barely walk. There are loving feelings from him, but he logically knows he has no family and he must be a good employee as his first priority if he wants housing and marriage. He's lucky Hawkins reveals he has loving feelings for him too, so he never ends up like Holt.

Just like he's lucky that his fiancee could have deemed him not able-bodied enough to be the breadwinner, or not mentally sound to be her partner, or too secretive to be trusted... in which case instead of her asking to marry him right there and to be cared for by her, he'd have ended up like Renfield, alone in an asylum.

Robert Holt, the man for whom the phrase "hapless" was invented. The most hapless, snakebitten motherfucker in the history of literature. I refuse to believe this man has been in possession of a single iota of hap in his entire life. This fuckin' guy.
