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

I thought some of you Dracula folks might enjoy my mother’s painting of Whitby Abbey. Shared with permission.

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!!

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.

New Katie McGrath podcast !! 💚

Maybe part of why Dracula adaptations generally haven’t known what to do about Jonathan Harker is because he hasn't got one story arc, he's got three.

At Dracula's castle he's a Final Girl in a suspense horror, last canny survivor in a "no one gets out alive" scenario

At the Hospital of St. Joseph and St. Mary, and for awhile after, he's one of two Vulnerable Princesses in need of Safekeeping (Lucy Westenra is of course the other) that Mina, competent as she is, risks *not* being able to juggle the necessities for... at least not well enough to keep both safe.

White-haired Jonathan with cold hands, stropping his Kukri in the odd moments he's waiting, is down to make an Orpheus run of sorts for Mina, but he's decided already that if he can't pull her out, he stays with her anyway.

It's not impossible to do a good job with Jonathan, but it's apparently too much for the average adaptation

A gothic literature hyperfixation has possessed me so I made this

(This took way longer to make than it reasonably should have)
