#Jack Seward

[see-arcane]

I want an animated Draula partially because animation elevates the "brooding in the dark fog under the lamplight/moon/rain". Which is something that Jack Seward does and I want to see that man brood on the asylum rooftops in his dark coat and the wet cobbled streets and hunching over his lancet and chloral, while monologuing about the bleakness of life and of fleeting hope and loneliness leading him to cruelty and how hateful returning home is to him and pondering what would make him not avoid the pit of hell and of the madness inherent in mankind. NOT Dracula. STOP stealing his thing and giving it to Dracula (my telekenisis blasts everything across the room)

Sadly yet another case of 'Dracula is only such a #cool character in pop culture because HE KEEPS BEING GIVEN ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS' INTERESTING TRAITS'

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

[mewtwo365]

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

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

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!

HOLD UP

Jonathan describing Dracula's hands back in May:

“Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own will!” He made no motion of stepping to meet me, but stood like a statue, as though his gesture of welcome had fixed him into stone. The instant, however, that I had stepped over the threshold, he moved impulsively forward, and holding out his hand grasped mine with a strength which made me wince, an effect which was not lessened by the fact that it seemed as cold as ice"

Jack Seward describing Jonathan's hands now:

"We men are all in a fever of excitement, except Harker, who is calm; his hands are cold as ice."

"It will be a bad lookout for the Count if the edge of that “Kukri” ever touches his throat, driven by that stern, ice-cold hand!"

Both of their hands are described as strong/stern, and cold as ice...

I was undressing in my own room, when, with a premonitory tap at the door, he entered, and at once began to speak:—

Van Helsing, barging in: "Friend John we must -stop screaming it's me- we must behead Miss Lucy"

Lucy and her three weed smoking boyfriends

In which the Harkers take advantage of the lull between diary entries.

Am loving that all throughout this october hunt the whole gang said we might do it scared but we arent doing it hungry

Every time, Van Helsing is like okay here is the plan and here is also breakfast. And they eat and they all feel just a tiny bit better

Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. Jonathan Harker
