#Jonathan Harker x Count Dracula

[grimgrinningghost456]

🦇Random Drac fact of the day! 🦇

If he ever lets Jonathan leave the castle to hunt alone, the second he gets back he gets tackled and then forced to sit and get nuzzled for an hour

it looks cute, but in reality, the count is re-scenting him. Nuzzles can be for affection but they’re first and foremost a type of claiming tactic. That doesn’t mean it can’t be cute. (Johnny only lets the Count do this because he finds the Vampire’s resulting purrs endearing)

He really had no reason to do this other than to mess with Jonathan lol

I don't understand the problem people have with rewrites of Dracula that humanize him. Yes, Dracula in the original book is a pure representation of evil. But like Carmilla he is a fictional and almost mythological figure at this stage who evolves with the times. The myth of the vampire has changed, so it is logical that Dracula himself follows this model. The book will still exist, so what's the problem ? The same goes for offering him a romance, whether or not it is with a rewriting of the character of Mina or an another invented female character, or sometimes a woman linked to the Van helsing lineage, or even Van helsing changed directly into a woman !

Even Jonathan himself for exemple in order to explore a homosexuality or bisexuality in the story of Dracula ! Strangely I never see people revolting when Jonathan is placed as a romantic interest. I totally see where that's coming from, but the fact is that their relationship isn't good in the original material either.

As for the problem of Mina, a strong female character, apparently having her strong characteristics erased when she is made Dracula's lover... I don't agree.

After all, it all depends on how the thing is done. Yes, the Mina from the 1992 film is not the one from the book (which is far from being a flawless representation of a strong woman... Yes, for the time when the book was released, it works, but in our time modern era, there are flaws apparently, as with most works dating back a certain number of years), but she still remains a strong female character in her own way and morally ambiguous in this adaptation. It's just a different version. I particularly liked the version of Mina in the canceled series of 2013. These 3 versions of Mina are all strong women on different levels.

Don't make me say what I didn't say. I love the original version of Dracula, and I really hope one day to have a more or less faithful adaptation, but the rewritings of the characters of Dracula and Mina are not to be demonized. I also think that we will surely continue in the future to have versions where Mina and Dracula are associated together as lovers, as other times not. Maybe one day we'll even have a version with Dracula and Jonathan officially partnered as lovers. Who knows ? And everything will simply depend on the writing of the characters. On the other hand, yes, I am a little exasperated by the tendency to make Jonathan a character either bland or an asshole in certain adaptations. Give me the adorable Harker from the book for a change please... Anyway, these are my thoughts on the various adaptations of the Dracula myth !

The More I read Bram Stoker’s Dracula the more convinced I am that Dracula wanted to fuck John Harker. Like the dude made the guys bed for christ sake

Some fresh Harkula art

Already wanted to do this a year or so and finally did it now. :3

Ignore the fact it's the wrong hair colour to when this plays in the book and my au lmao

I think Jonathan Harker, Fox Mulder, Odysseus, and Branch should start a club.

Any of you fellow Dracula fans also filmmakers like me?

I'm gearing up to write & direct a Dracula movie - and I can't be the only one on set who is "Totally Normal" about JonMina.

If any of you Dracula fans are filmmakers - or know people who'd love to help - hopefully we can make a Dracula movie together that finally does the book & fandom justice!

I’m probably far from the first to say this BUT.

Dracula and Jonathan being romanticized or reinterpreted as a couple makes way more sense than Dracula and Mina. At least from a narrative standpoint and judging by their interactions in Stoker’s original novel. Which. Knowing about Stoker’s sexuality makes a lot of sense. 

Why has no one based a movie or novel off of this idea? I would love to see it.
