I’m considering working on a Dracula retelling where Dracula is British and (pardon my MCU reference) sort of a Thor: Ragnarok Hela-esque figure trying to bring back “the Good Old Days” of open British imperialism, but I keep getting stuck at how to translate the parts of the plot that rely heavily on Dracula starting on a separate continent (the language barrier, the travel time, etc). basically this is just a little bit of venting/place for suggestions if people want to

feel free to ignore

#dracula #retellings #d speaks #it’s really frustrating because I have some parts I love #(Ex: vampires being powered by a force known as the Hunger that’s linked to imperialism and the desire for constant increased profit #But also just Want in general #which feeds both on never-satisfied ultra-wealthy but also the people they impoverish who naturally desire basic necessities and such #In a really vicious positive feedback loop;#Dracula’s castle being in a magic pocket dimension of some sort that he is maybe trapped in question mark???)#And some parts that are driving me INSANE because I can’t figure them out #(Ex what time period is dracula from #how did he die #How does he plan on taking over england and the world #Also for that matter what is his name. Because like. It’s not Dracula. It’s some Very English name.)
