If I had a nickle for every 1800s novel I've read in the last month that had a pair that are nearly impossible for me to NOT to read as gay....

Bram Stoker’s Dracula — 1992, dir. Francis Ford Coppola

[tiffycat]

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!!

This is why no matter what, Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula and every tv show and musical out there will never be hated close to enough actually

Modern Dracula retellings of any media tend to erase Lucy's mother, in favor of making Lucy more grown up (and thus her encounters with Dracula to be hot), more sexually forward (only to get punished for it), and an independent woman. Often claiming that this "fixes" her story.

However, Mrs Westenra is important to exist partly because it makes Lucy such a Persephone figure.

A daughter (kore/κόρη) on the cusp of adolescence and adulthood, taken forcibly away from the living to the land of the dead by the lord of Death, to marry him (white clothes in her tomb, when she was supposed to be in a bridal dress soon), to dwell in darkness for eternity under his ultimate power.

Lucy also dies/"goes to the underworld" on the Autumn Equinox, signaling winter coming and light (the meaning of Lucy's name) fading for darkness to reign.

Peresphone's abduction to the underworld, a girl taken away by death too early, mourned, was meant to be a tragedy. And so is Lucy's story.

My sister found the best thing at a second hand shop. Dracula! And this artist did the homework! Dracula, lizard style on the side is my fave. But there is also the Captain, the brides, three men proposing to Lucy, our friend Jonathan cutting himself shaving, and more!
