#Jonathan doesn't get to keep his romantic-unto-blasphemy core or the anime badassery

[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'
