Cecil Gershwin Palmer, character of all time. He's gay. He has lyme disease. He's a PTA uncle. He's terrified of mirrors and for good reason. He's a cat dad. He's a DAD dad. He fell in love with his husband the first time he laid eyes on him. He got a barber run out of town. He regularly leaks classified police and government information on his radio show but kept his adopted son secret for ages. He has a complicated and tumultuous relationship with his mother. He's a gossipy bitch. He's in love with the job he was destined and cursed to have. He wears fanny packs. He's cried on air as many times as he's laughed. He has a true crime podcast. He calls his husband Kittycake. He has been a my fictional friend for over ten years.

Carlos: *discreetly calling Cecil to subtly get his attention*

Cecil on the community radio immediately afterwards: 📢📢📢 ATTENTION 🚨 🚨 ATTENTION NIGHT VALE 📢 LAST NIGHT AT 8:23PM CARLOS, THE SEXY SMEXY SCIENTIST I AM EXTREMELY DOWN BAD FOR 🫦🫦🫦 CALLED ME TO REPORT THERE HAVE BEEN STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING IN TOWN!! I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CHEMISTRY 🧪 ⚛️ 👨‍🔬 AND BUBBLING ROMANCE ❤️‍🔥 🫦 BETWEEN US!!! WHADDYA THINK LISTENERS 😏😏😏

As a scientist I find the concept of Cecil freely yapping about Carlos on the radio so funny because if I was in the lab just going about my experiments and then some person on the radio started talking about how hot I am I would get clowned on it by my coworkers beyond belief. Every time I walked into the lab the grad students there would’ve been like “there he is with his perfect hair 😩” and if the centrifuge broke “try asking it to work with your sweet caramel voice 😫” like deadass the lab would be insufferable for months

This is 100% the gay supervillain music video I’ve been waiting for.

I love campy gay villains, but gay villains of this type are amazing too and sorely underrepresented.

[psshaw]

…Oh, so by “gay”, you mean. Actually gay.

You know, as much as I'm a fan of horror and time loops, the absolute funniest interpretation I've seen of Dracula Daily is the one that goes that Jonathan Harker is fine and healthy and happy, he's just telling this story to his grandkids. Again. Because they love hearing the Vampire Story.

[lithiumseven]

May 15th and 16th’s journal entries by Jonathan are extremely interesting in terms of a gender analysis of Dracula because it is one of the clearest examples of Jonathan actually taking on the role of a Gothic heroine

Not only does he compare himself to a young lady of the past who would have occupied the room and done exactly what he is doing (writing to someone they love) and reclining on the comfortable couches, but this narrative turn is precisely the classic Gothic trope of a young woman who has been brought to a big old lonely house venturing out into an abandoned and forbidden part of the house (representing her mind) and discovering something exciting and terrible (sexuality). Think of Jane Eyre or Crimson Peak

The three women place him under a thrall and he is open about while being duly terrified he is also aroused. Notably he is also in a very submissive position which was customary for female characters at the time. Ravishing stories are very common in sexually repressed cultures because resistance to the idea and being in a position of submission gives the woman of the story plausible deniability in the face of sexuality

When the Count comes in it gets no less erotic and actually gets more direct as he verbally claims Jonathan as his and responds that he CAN love when the three women accuse him of being unable to, the implication clear that he will love Jonathan before giving him over to them for “kisses”

Jonathan then wakes undressed in his own bed, his agency removed by literally having been moved away from his progress exploring and back into where the Count is keeping him and allowing him to go
