Daybreak: On May Bell and Rose

The 5th and 6th courts of the Garden are here! It's hard for me to process that I'm halfway through talking about the individual courts, but I hope you're all looking forward to the second half of them!

If you are, please leave a like and follow, because I'll be posting every week until I've exhausted all my notes. (I honestly thought I'd be done by now. Where did all of these thoughts come from?!)

(Yes, I'm late, but it's been a hard week. For everyone else going through it, hang in there!)

"I do not think, Mr. Chillingworth," said Marchdale, "anything would convince you but a visit from him, and an actual attempt to fasten upon some of your own veins." "That would not convince me," said Chillingworth. "Then you will not be convinced?" "I certainly will not. I mean to hold out to the last. I said at the first, and I say so still, that I never will give way to this most outrageous superstition."

[chanting] Bite him first bite him first. Make a show and he gets bitten so so much. I am never heckling Seward's skepticism again. Or anyone's.

He needs to get bitten sooooo bad it makes him look stupid.

Obligatory topical shitpost redraw

...Hey wait, Seward what are you doing. Seward. Jack.

[antiquesfreaks]

your character design for George Bannerworth is impeccable

VARNEY POSTING PART 5: in which i finally make varney bite some characters who are not charles

in order: dr. chillingworth, henry bannerworth, marchdale, admiral bell, jack pringle, mortimer/montgomery, josiah crinkles (averted by surprise time-traveling jonathan harker appearance), jack seward (hitched a ride with jonathan), george bannerworth (averted bc it's unclear if chibi-style george even has a neck)

#for reference I’m listening to Antique Freaks reading it and #I genuinely couldn’t tell which parts were their jokes and which was the book #so I had to look it up #the whole thing is on project Gutenberg

This is quite possibly the funniest passage of a book I’ve ever read/listened to

“who was one of those characters in society who hold most dreadful opinions” I’m going to choke !!!!

Reading the Scarlet Letter in my English class and I figured it’s just spooky enough to kick off October!

*lmao I hope my English teacher actually likes this one because last time he said my art was too spooky to hang up in the class room-*

He literally made this an assignment just so his classroom would have decorations

#dr chillingworth has been a lot of fun so far

Overcome with horror at the prospect that your family has been cursed with/by the dreaded Vampyre? Need some sort of coping mechanism for this? Consider deliberately developing a victim complex as hard as you can about it!

“Henry,” he said, “the best way, you may depend, of meeting evils, be they great or small, is to get up an obstinate feeling of defiance against them. Now, when anything occurs which is uncomfortable to me, I endeavour to convince myself, and I have no great difficulty in doing so, that I am a decidedly injured man.”

“Indeed!”

“Yes; I get very angry, and that gets up a kind of obstinacy, which makes me not feel half so much mental misery as would be my portion, if I were to succumb to the evil, and commence whining over it, as many people do, under the pretence of being resigned.”

Yeeeah it is way scarier if the vampire can eat anyone. Can you imagine Dracula but when Jonathan cuts himself Dracula goes ":/ not a girl" or the first mate goes "good thing vampirism is no threat to me or I'd need to jump" or Dracula trying to eat Mina and going "curses, foiled by matrimony". Then the threat is that no one is safe from the vampire, not just Girl Virginity.

Yes, exactly. When the human heroes go on a dumbass expedition to the crypt in the middle of the night I need to be at least a little bit worried that the vampire might Fucking Get Them or what's the point??

Also, vampires only being a threat to Girl Virginity is creepy in a bad way and the subtext implied by it is definitely not something I'm keen to preserve from the original text.
