#Ericka Van Helsing

[rosetyler42]

You got 2 for this one. After drawing sleepy Drericka, I came up with some cute amd funny bits of them being woken up, both by each other's snoring and other things.

Drac chewing on Ericka's neck was inspired by a vampire x human post on here and I think the Ericka sleep smack was inspired by one of @moringmark 's owl house comics.

Prompt

Draw something/someone sleeping

[black-ak9]

@rosetyler42 done 😸

We were talking about this scene and it is one of the favorites in the Addams Family movies

(in my AU and headcanons, they are actually very good friends, they are just drama queens and danger ladies when they're together)

I'll talk about this headcanon later through a drawing or in the ask box

[ssleeping-in-a-coffin]

Well, meet Ericka! 🌊

Headcanons:

Opposite of Dracula. Ericka is the embodiment of harmony. She has always believed that peace between humans and monsters is possible, and her mission is to prove that. That’s why she intentionally brings both monsters and humans on board, to show that they can work together and live in peace. Her approach is simple: give everyone equal opportunities, show their responsibility and sincerity.

The Captain Everyone Loves. Ericka is always on the side of her crew and passengers. She genuinely listens, helps resolve conflicts, and cares for everyone as if they were family. On the ship, everyone knows: if something’s wrong, the captain will be the first one to stand up for you.

"Sailor". Ericka loves calling everyone associated with her “Sailor,” regardless of rank or race. For the crew, it’s a friendly nickname, and for passengers, it’s a warm and slightly playful term of endearment. Examples:

For a newcomer on board: "Hey, sailor, don’t get lost in the corridors!"

For a child: "So, little sailor, ready for adventures?"

Even for a grumpy monster: "Don’t look so gloomy, sailor, or you’ll cause a storm on board."

Little Rituals. Ericka has a habit of making a wish before each voyage while looking at the moon. She believes it brings luck and helps avoid storms.

Weapons. Ericka has never held a weapon of any kind in her life. She doesn't know how to handle one.

Abraham in the New AU. In this AU, the opposite of his original character, Abraham could be seen as a kind-hearted grandfather who supports everyone, whether human or monster. When Ericka was a child, he told her the story of how he saved a sea monster that had gotten caught in a net. This event became her inspiration.

Well, what’s a story without a bit about Zing? Dracula came to the ship on a mission — to eliminate a particularly dangerous monster that had docked at the ports. He was focused on cold, impersonal work, but meeting Ericka turned everything upside down. Ericka, charmed by his stern and mysterious appearance, decides to catch his attention (Yes, it's her who has the Zing moment, not Dracula!). She doesn’t hide her interest and begins trying to win his favor — using all her charisma and charm to start conversations and make him notice her. But Dracula finds her "too sweet" and naive, and she constantly manages to irritate him with her innocent kindness and her persistent attempts to be near him. Despite this, Dracula can’t bring himself to point his weapon at her — it goes against his principles.

And that’s where the story ends. So, what do you think? Would the Zing moment fit into this AU? What do you think of Ericka?

My two faves ships rn: Drericka and Fiddauthor! I do love the idea of these 4 as friends. Two sets of (queer, Neurodivergent, Jewish + Christian) rediculously loyal morally grey cartoon weirdos and freaks who've found eachother. At least 2 of which from not-great high pressure home backgrounds, ended up the accomplice to Genocide/Weirdmaggedon, and ended up hurting the other in some way and are awed the other managed to forgive them.

I was going to draw Fidds and Drericka talking about Drac and Ericka's "Tango of Death" repeatedly saving Ericka's life through death traps and his encounter with the Gremloblin where he got quilled in the arm and saving Ford by knocking out a Krampus - not to mention the times Ford saved HIM, but it came out looking good without words. Fidds still seems the type to tell weird personal stories, even when he gets his mind back. Ericka doesn't mind this, she tells weirdly personal stories right back. Ford and Drac are both charmed and chagrined by this. XD

Hotel Transylvania 3 - Una vacanza mostruosa

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo andati avanti con la nostra maratona di film dedicati alla saga di Tremors, arrivando al quarto capitolo, un prequel, Tremors 4 – Alle origini della leggenda. Siamo a Rejection, nel 1899, e la cittadina va avanti grazie alla miniera d’argento, ma questa è costretta a chiudere quando gli operai vengono fatti a pezzi da una strana…

Do you recognize the scene?

[ssleeping-in-a-coffin]

Drac as a Hunter, Ericka as a Cruise Liner Owner?

Lately, I haven’t been able to dedicate much time to drawing, but I finally have something to share with you! How do you like the idea of a swap AU where Drac and Ericka trade roles? Not as in human vs. vampire, but in their professions. Picture this: Drac as a hunter, and Ericka as a vibrant, colorful owner of a cruise liner—a floating hotel for monsters.

At first, it might sound strange, but let me explain. In the original, Ericka used her ship as a cover for her real job: monster hunting. Here, Drac does something similar. His “hotel” is just a front for his main occupation—hunting. But who is he hunting? Surprise! He’s targeting monsters. Why? Because a vampire hunting humans is too predictable, but a vampire hunting his own kind? Now that’s intriguing. Meanwhile, Ericka does the opposite: she’s trying to provide monsters with a safe haven. Her goal is to foster understanding between monsters and humans, proving that coexistence is possible.

Of course, this is just a concept, and I haven’t worked out all the details yet. But I love playing with this idea, as it completely flips the canon dynamics. Plus, I managed to sketch some rough designs for them: Ericka in a nautical-inspired outfit—flared jeans, a striped sailor’s shirt, and maritime details. And Drac? He’s in a dark, sinister suit paired with a dramatic wide-brimmed hat, adding a mysterious and menacing vibe.

What do you think? Would you like to see more of this world?

Some angst that wouldn't get out of my head with the idea of Ericka+Ford+McGucket in Bendy's game.

Ericka isn't scared of the machine or the ink the way some might be, but she does recognize it's dangerous and the source of the whole mess Joey created....which is why it's important to learn as much about it as possible, but it's not something to be taken lightly...

Ford is fascinated by this anomalous supernatural machine. A machine that creates living creatures out of souls and ink??? Of course he also realizes there's danger in it, but...after he's done geeking out about it.

But Fiddleford has a hard time even LOOKING at it. There's just something WRONG with that machine to him...something that reminds him of a certain traumatizing incident years ago...

It's a good thing Ericka has experience with panic attacks.

Or in other words:

Ford: Autism and/Or ADHD, possibly NPD

Ericka: AuDHD, CPTSD, and Anxiety

Fidds: Anxiety, PTSD, + Alzheimers.

(NONE of these Blorbos are Neurotypical!)

Also: I don't think I'm drawing the machine again. That thing was a PAIN to draw. XD

Ericka Van Helsing vs Larissa Weems

[sansblues2]

Dangerous

Day 25. I like Ericka, I think she could have been a great antagonist if they had put more effort into her story. 

Her story is so barebones, we don't even know what happened to her parents or how she ended up being raised by her great great great great grandfather. 

I think the third movie could have worked as a “Who did it?��� mystery. They kinda tried to do a mystery with Mavis taking pictures of a mysterious person and getting suspicious about Ericka, but that ended too quickly after only two other scenes with Mavis interrupting her dad’s date and then she following Ericka when she went to get the artifact from Atlantis. What if instead of Ericka only focusing on killing Dracula she tried doing something with the other monsters? Not exactly killing but putting them in dangerous situations where they would almost die or would get severely hurt in the process.

One thing that I think is missing with Ericka is her hate towards monsters, like since the beginning she acts nicely towards the monsters, and although she later on reveals her true feelings it never goes past that as she only focuses on hurting Dracula. If they really wanted to do that, maybe they could show that even though she is upset she didn’t get Dracula, she is at least pleased she got one monster, like, she misses Dracula but hits another monster and she goes ”Oh well, at least I got one”, and only later on after trying many times without succeeding she starts to get frustrated and doesn’t even bother if she hits someone else.

Well, now that I got this out of the way, let me explain the drawing. 

My take on Ericka’s backstory is that when she was just a child her home mysteriously caught on fire, leading to her parents’ deaths. The fire had already started when she woke up in her bedroom, she tried to escape it but was unable to find an exit. She fell on the floor and lay there all while watching the flames as she slipped from consciousness.  She was rescued and barely survived, after many surgeries her body was able to heal but she still has really bad scarring all over her body.

Later on, she was adopted by her great great great great grandfather, and while training to become a monster hunter she discovered a strange fascination with fire, which her great great great great grandfather 100% approved(as long as she didn’t burn his things).

They started a cult that claimed that monsters still existed and they were plotting the destruction of all humanity. At first, there were few members, the few that would believe in such stories or that were just bored, but after the monsters came out more people started appearing. 

After years of waiting, Van Helsing had all that was necessary to destroy the monsters once and for all. 

I'm actually not entirely sure how his plan would actually go. What I got so far is Ericka goes to the Hotel(no, there's no cruise in this one. Why waste so many resources when you can just go to the place where you know monsters go to? and humans can go too, so it wouldn't be hard to get in), maybe she takes some cult members with her. A lot of pranks with other monsters, some tension between her and Dracula(he finds her suspiciously familiar), a lot of flirtation with Dracula, and for the grand finale, all the monsters, and also humans, stuck inside the hotel that is about to be put on fire. Ericka changes her mind and everything ends fine in the end(actually I have a more bittersweet end to it, but this post is already long enough).

So, that's it. See you all tomorrow. Bye bye~.
