Hmm Atropa being the character we follow and know the thoughts of (despite using 3rd person narration, the narrator is either not omniscient or chooses to Not Say Shit about what's going in other people's brains, and i forget what that's called ok) is not a bad thing but this means I have to be careful not to jump in Hélianthe's brain sometimes. And thus have her... make suppositions of what he's thinking, i guess.
#'he seems nervous. wonder why' is going to be a recurring segment apparently#which. he is that's not the question ! it's just hmm#i guess eventually i will show that they've gotten closer because she might be able to guess more accurately#vs not really giving a fuck what he's worried about in the beginning#if that makes any sense ?#i might need to check what my outline was again#also i'm thinking of a scene - about how Hélianthe is still acting like a spoiled child regarding some specific bits - and hm.#i'm not#actually fully certain of where to place it.#but ok who gives a shit right now#Hélianthe is here to groan that I Don't Like The Vibes Of That Duke#(says a man whose vibes are also clearly Off to anyone in Eshda who looks at him)#(before they get used to it)#like he is trying to pass off as human so he's going to need More Blood Than Normal for that to... work i guess ?#it's like. ok so.#i think my problem here lies in worldbuilding and how vampires work#that's it. that's. that's the problem hahaha#1. they drink blood to live 2. they're cold 3. there is something visible that can make humans go 'hm. something is Wrong here' but WHAT#(follow up : how does it relate to blood consumption and hiding in plain sight)#things to think about#pondering.#ok let's go write that first draft now#ideally i'd enjoy being on page 40 before the end of the weekend which means that i'd enjoy doing that this afternoon bc#i'll be at a friends' house this weekend LOL i won't be writing much#hélianthe et atropa

What happened last night?
What was Dracula keeping his roomates off Jonathan specially for?
I'm screaming, what happened that poor Jonathan isn't telling us about?

I drew the shaving scene from Dracula!
ID: A pencil and coloured pencil sketch of two men: Jonathan Harker on the left and Count Dracula on the right. Jonathan is half dressed with his shirt untucked and his collar open. A necklace with a small crucifix is visible in the open collar. He has a cut on his cheek that has bled and has his hands raised towards Dracula to defend himself. Dracula is wearing a black suit. He is grabbing towards Jonathan's throat with his left hand and gripping Jonathan's left wrist with his right.

There is something very whumpy about watching it sink in for Jonathan that he’s a prisoner and how helpless he is.

So I'm not the only one who can't stop thinking about what Jonathan went through, right?
First staggering through the forest, dodging wolves, lost, alone, shivering with cold because he has no coat, maybe suffering the effects of having his blood drained, unable to find food because, I mean, why would he know how to find something safe to eat in a forest? Maybe he even eats something that makes him sick or drinks dirty water or something and he's living in an entirely new nightmare.
Then he finally reaches civilization and finds a station and begs them to help him and says he just wants to get home and he's terrified and exhausted and starving and nobody helps him, they just dismiss him as a crazy Englishman and put him on a random train to as far away as possible.
And then he's got a long train journey to sit and maybe get sicker and sicker and maybe then memories start to flood in and he's exhausted and cold and barely even knows where he's going, just that he hopes it's a leg on the way home, but he's so tired and he's fading in and out and nobody will help him.
And then he arrives and maybe he staggers off the train and passes out on the platform or maybe he gets carried off the train or maybe there was already a welcoming party and he tries to explain but even he can't make sense of what he's saying any more.And I wonder how long it will be before looking up and seeing a strange woman bending over him, even when he knows she's a nun, doesn't trigger flashbacks to Dracula's roommates.
Just… there's an entire survival-horror story in the background here.

Lawyers of tumblr are you guys OK? The weirder things get in Dracula's Castle the more lawyers pop out of the woodwork to say things like "yeah, that's what being a new lawyer is like!"
I feel like if I'm ever in a lawyer's office I should slip them a note telling them to blink twice if they're being held hostage by a vampire.
