I think maybe the reason Jonathan gets shafted so often by filmmakers is because he doesn't fit a masculine heroic story structure. For the first ~100 pages, he's basically one of Radcliffe's Gothic heroines. And after that? Well, it's different. But he's still not your modern stoic avenger type. He's emotional and he can't keep a lid on those feelings either. He's got so much anger, but he's also got such deep sorrow and shame, and he doesn't/can't hide it. He shouts, he goes all tense and quiet, he rushes into danger, he weeps, he announces that he'd gladly sell his soul to kill Dracula, he falls to knees and buries his face in the folds of his wife's dress when he feels ashamed of his anger.

I think if you wanted to fit him into a modern movie archetype, the best fit is probably coding him like he's the protagonist of a rape revenge movie. He got abused, he got away, and for a while he was almost content focusing on his own healing... and then he found out his abuser just kept going. Hence the knife, the rage, the shame, etc. But that's not the type of storyline a male hero is supposed to have, right, and so that makes it tempting to either give the role of Dracula's captive to Renfield or let Dracula be Mina's true love or just cut Jonathan entirely.

🔥 I’m curious if you have an unpopular TWST opinion I haven’t heard? 👀

Tho I will accept an opinion on any fandom you feel like talking about

see i think the thing is every time i have an unpopular twst opinion i do just open our dms and go deposit it straight in there. i want to be polite so i just put everything in your dms.

well here's one you already know but i dont think ive ever talked abt publicly. i personally find rook/vil 5000x's more interesting if they're fully platonic and just Like That Anyways. oh i also think its better for them in the long run both if they get a little distance from each other LOL i think it will benefit them both immensely
