#I made a podcast

[book-lore]

I market like an artist!

Say, being as everyone is rediscovering the world of Dracula and the history of that book through Dracula Daily, it only just now dawned on me that I once put out a very large project on Dracula through my podcast The Armchair Scholar's Guide. I did a four part series wherein I talked at length about the history of vampires, Stoker's Dracula, how the little book that made its way from page to theatrical performance to Universal studios and I even went into the bonus round of talking about the many faces that Dracula has worn over the years. You can find them all on YouTube or if you want, they should still be on Apple, Spotify, etc. Tis all here:

And yes, that's my stupid face on there. It's not been updated in a while and I have struggled to put up content for a bit. BUT! If you are a fan of Dracula and you enjoy knowing more about the book, or you are a fan of the antics of Dracula Daily and Re: Dracula, you might find this a fun little series to enjoy along side these things. Please, I only ever get views on the history of clowns episode. I would be grateful if something else got the love and there's lots to discover there!

Thinking back to the time I was about halfway through TMA and was explaining the plot to a friend who has never listened to a single episode and they tried to make one of those "Soup was invented by John Soup when he wanted to drink a chicken" jokes and ended up saying something along the lines of "The Magnus Institute was created by John Magnus when he wanted to make an institute for all the fears" and at the time I was like haha good one bro but in hindsight I think I need to fucking throngle them with my bare hands

Thinking about the difference between podcast main characters

[s0akie]

Honestly? I really love how TMA handled Jon's asexuality.

Asexuality is complex and multi-layered. To understand it fully is to understand the many different types of attraction there is out there, and how to differentiate them from one another. Which is already a complicated enough task when you're ace/aro spec- But even more so when you're Allo, as most of those attractions seem to just morph together.

So, of course Melanie (and potentially Georgie) would phrase it as "He just doesn't."

While I would not have minded for asexuality to be name dropped, this is just as good- if not better. It feels in character, it feels realistic. It tells us something about the characters themselves and how they view and understand Jon's sexuality. That they see it in its most bare bone sense : not having sex.

Whether or not Jon is aware of his own sexuality is entirely up to interpretation as well. While I do have my own personal headcanons, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that he could have phrased it this way himself- Either because that is how he understands it, or just because it is the easiest way to explain it to someone who isn't ace.

All in all! In my opinion, this was really well handled, especially considering it is like, five lines of dialogue in a 200 episodes long Horror/Tragedy podcast.

John you have to understand that you’re simply a secret worse thing

((Honestly I can see this audio going either way depending on the episode lol))
