Lucy's Wedding

(this is in my language, but it is the wedding date of our dear Lucy Westenra) imagine this day, being marked yesterday, beautiful and sunny with flowers and lots of joy, if it weren't for that damned walking leech

Dracula Returns

I don't know if you've heard the latest news, but it looks like Dracula is going to return to cinema screens, I just saw on my phone that it will be produced by Luc Besson in partnership with Christoph Waltz. I'm shaking, anxious and afraid of repeating the same rereading from 92, I understand those who like the material, but I really wanted a version closer to what is actually covered in the book. My couple JonMina as an ardent couple that they are, Renfield without stereotypes, Lucy without the tremendous sexualization, Dracula as manipulative and megavillain and without romanticizing him as if he were innocent of something, Van Helsing without his caricatured and even exaggerated format, etc.

and honestly, on all sites it only shows the version of a Dracula wanting to find his wife lost in eternity, please show us the story as it truly is! Why distance yourself so much?!

Above all, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope it is at least a good adaptation.

❗️STOP PAIRING MINA W/ DRACULA❗️

My girl does NOT deserve that 🙄

He is nasty 🤢 and gross 🤮

Meanwhile Jonathan and Lucy 😍 love her 😆

Mina clearly 😡 HATES 😡 Dracula 🧛🏽‍♂️ and the only sympathy she has for him 😔😢 is ❗️UNEARNED ❗️ because Mina is so kind 😊

They hardly interact 🤔 and when Mina DOES meet him 🤝🏽 she INSULTS him ❗️❗️❗️❗️

Rule of Wolves - Zoya ch. 9

- Don't go - he begged, still half asleep. - I have to take a shower. I smell like a forest fire. - You smell like wildflowers. As always. What can I say to make you stay? - His words became a sleepy murmur as he fell asleep again.

    Tell me it's more than war and worry that makes you speak these words. Tell me what they would mean if you were not a king and I were not a soldier. (...)

    She brushed the hair away from his face and kissed his forehead.

- I'd stay forever if I could - she whispered. He wouldn't remember anyway.

PERFECT observation

Had Dracula been capable of subtlety instead of lizarding around in front of his human guest, Jonathan would have just concluded he was a lonely, eccentric old man. He could have introduced Dracula to his friends as "this foreign nobleman who's really, really, really into London" and no one would have suspected him of anything because they'd think of him as a harmless teaboo who can't possibly be dangerous

but Dracula had no subtlety.

Dear Dracula Adaptations,

Me and @starlitartworks discussed this, and we both agree: In a universe where Dracula is meant to look like this-

Jonathan Harker is allowed to be sexy. It is possible to be devastatingly attractive and a total nerd at the same time. Stop making Dracula sexier than Jonathan so she'll choose the monster who assaulted her instead of the guy who adores her more than life itself. Give Jonathan the good looks instead.

i really can’t stress enough how much i recommend regularly engaging with older art– movies, books, whatever. like, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” and all that, but also, there’s just something really fascinating and kind of beautiful about reading something written by someone who lived so long ago and really connecting with it, recognizing the humanity of people who once seemed like abstract concepts to you
