#Jack Seward

[cuddlecr33p]

So Dr. Seward records all of his notes on a phonograph, meaning he speaks them allowed, correct? So when his POV includes an accent or stutter or any peculiarity in speaking, is that just him alone in his office doing impressions???

Dr. Seward, freak of London

[novas-dwelling]

Been reading Dracula and so far my favourite parts are when Jack Seward detours from writing about the undead bullshit to talk about some insane guy, they give Reinfield zero relation to the plot for the first half of the book other than Jack thinking he’s neat. Like yes king, tell me that work tea

Felt like drawing a bunch of Dracula memes just to be silly :p

[bluecatwriter]

I'd been wanting to draw this for ages, and finally got around to it today.

[ID in Alt]

[dinodoggie]

this is a little out of order but i saw an internet quote from the physical dracula daily book and had to draw it - that Lucy was playing out an Otome dating sim while Jonathan is having the worst time of his life XD

i hope you enjoy this silly drawing, and have an AWESOME day!!

the mortifying ordeal of being Jack Seward. God, can you imagine- you get rejected by a girl. Fine. You're a bit emo about it but you're holding up. She accepts a proposal from your close pal. Ok, that stings, but you do love Arthur and at least you have your work to focus on. You get cc'd on a message from your second close pal and it says you WILL be attending a celebratory dinner. Yeah, to celebrate your dream girl saying yes to Close Pal #1. Ok, whatever, you're a man of honor. You go. Girl falls ill. Close Pal #1 says hey man, please go medically examine my fiancee - yeah, the one that rejected you. I know it'll be weird but I insist. Please man, you're my Close Pal. Ok. Fine. This girl is still important to you. You do it. You're sitting by said Ill Girl's bedside, trying not to think about that embarrassing time when you sat on your hat, asked her out, and then got rejected, and then her MOTHER walks in and goes wow, dude, why don't you have a wife yet? You and the girl Do Not Look at Each Other Dear God Lucy Do Not Make Eye Contact With Me Right Now I Swear to God. Girl gets sicker. You phone a friend. Your friend comes and promptly breaks the ice with your Mortally Ill Dream Girl (who rejected you after watching you sit on your hat) by being like Well, You Know Jack. He Doesn't Know Anything about Women. Probably Why He Sat on His Hat and then You Rejected Him. Christ. Mortally Ill Dream Girl dies and you find yourself enmeshed in Horrors Beyond Your Comprehension and you think, well, ok, at least if I'm focused on the Horrors Beyond My Comprehension I won't be thinking about my tragic and thus far very embarrassing love story. Let me just focus on picking up this nice lady from the train station because she and her husband have some important information for us. And then the FIRST THING OUT OF THE NICE LADY'S MOUTH is Oh Yeah I Know You Lucy Told Me How You Sat on Your Hat and Then She Rejected You. Ohhhhhhh my god

been rereading dracula a bit and i had forgotten how unintentionally funny jack is like

Renfield had become, to all intents, as sane as he ever was. He was already well ahead with his fly business; and he had just started in the spider line also; so he had not been of any trouble to me.

he has such a way with words <3

Happy "Van Helsing calls Seward bitchless in front of Lucy" day to everyone! 🌹🌹🌹

[mocktortis]

Jack Seward's interactions with Renfield are so funny sometimes when contrasted against what the other characters are going through.

Mina: "Lucy seems pale and distracted, and she won't tell me what's wrong. I don't know what became of my dear Jonathan. I fear the worst."

Seward: "Yeah so I went to visit Renfield today and all of his birds were gone. When I asked him what happened to them he was just like 'what birds' and coughed up a ball of feathers so I gave him opium and put him in the time out corner."

[moodsandtenses]

Honestly, you gotta hand it to Seward for pioneering the classic video game trope of "environmental storytelling via ominous, scattered audio logs in which a tortured scientist explains How It All Went Wrong," not just decades before the invention of video games, but like thirty years max after the advent of recorded sound. Talk about being ahead of the curve!
