🩸🦇 Little Modern Vampire Things:

Constantly tired during the day (they often stay up late at night, or all night, due to their nocturnal nature).

Always wearing sunglasses (but not inside—don’t want to look suspicious).

Constantly asking friends if their outfits look okay/if their appearance looks good (they can’t see themselves in mirrors).

Drinking blood and saying it’s cranberry juice.

Drinking cranberry juice and saying it’s blood.

Visiting museums (finding their old belongings behind glass).

Having very long, dark eyelashes.

Going to cemeteries (for the aesthetic).

Acting surprised whenever someone says, “wow, your teeth are really sharp!”

Eating garlic bread publicly (gotta throw them off the trail!).

Wearing a lot of mysterious jewelry that is worth more than the average house.

Drinking a lot of coffee (with some blood added to sweeten it).

Wearing mostly all black (even in the middle of summer).

Staring off into the distance for hours.

Completely forgetting their birthday.

Completely forgetting their AGE.

Forgetting the year.

Having pristine hair. Usually straightened.

Often just “appears” and scares people on accident.

Star/moon gazing.

Adoring thunderstorms.

Keeping photo albums of their friends over the years, even the ones who are long gone. (Sometimes it’s hard to look through them, but the albums are their most important possessions).

Hating the awkward moment while standing on someone’s doorstep waiting to be invited in.

If this gets 100 notes, I’m watching BBC’s 2020 version of Dracula and live-blogging it. Why? Because I keep getting told to watch it for its trainwreck quality and the ONLY way I will watch it is if I make y’all experience it alongside me.

I actually love Re: Dracula, because like,, it’s just so darn accessible???

Aside from the genuine care and time that the creators put into it, and the details and awesome sound effects, and it brings life to the novel in an awesome way.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Dracula Daily, but I just don’t have the time at the moment to sit down and read it, where as with Re: Dracula, I can do my work and listen to it, I can play it as background noise to sleep too, I can do art with it. It’s easy for me to get to as well, so I can quickly get it on whiteout wasting too much time.

And did I mention the effort the team working on it puts in to it??

Dracula Daily (again) day 1 thoughts:

Was that Dracula howling under Jonathan's window even from day one? Was it not even the paprika that gave him queer dreams...

You would think that as "guy who runs the gay vampire blog" Astarion would be my favorite character in bg3 . It's not it's actually Karlach and I would sell that gay white twink assstarion to Satan for one cornchip and the fraction of a chance of a future of Larian adding more Wyll content

Happy Weird Paprika Dreams day to all who celebrate!

I think that adaptations who leave Quincey out or make him a horrible person (see 2020 Dracula) miss the point. He's not just a comic relief. he's the oathmaker. He swears to Lucy when she rejects him he'll always be her friend, and he follows through. He swears to Mina he'll not rest until SHE rests, and he follows through. He swears he will kill Dracula to Jonathan, and they shake hands, and he follows through. He gives Dracula one of the two fatal bows, and bleeds and dies, like he swore he would, for those he loves.

Wow, Anon. That was beautiful. You came to my inbox, absolutely destroyed me, and I'm thanking you for it. /pos

You're so right, though. He is the oathmaker, he follows through on his promises no matter what. Also, the Oathmaker is such a cool title is that a thing I missed?? Can that be what we call him forever now if we don't already??

But here I am, doing the exact same thing as the producers/directors, writing him off as comic relief (I did a little more than that, but still)!! I am truly sorry to Quincey, he is not just that and he never was. So thank you, Anon, for reminding me again why I love him so much. Perhaps one day, there will be an adaptation where he's actually appreciated.

As a side note, they made him a horrible person in 2020 Dracula?! Ugh, I started watching it and could not get through it after they killed Jonathan off -- I didn't care if they resurrected him or what, I was done. I just couldn't keep watching Now I don't want to do it even more if they ruined Quincey too!!!! BBC stop trying to be edgy with classic literature challenge (impossible). What are they going to do next? Make a Jane Eyre series where Jane's the wife in the attic the whole time? I shouldn't even write that cause they'll probably think "wow, that's a great idea!" :/

i'm gonna just start dracula posting

has dracula tried men

[melio-theeventuallawyer]

also?? It's astounding that Quincy is completely erased in the pop culture Dracula. How did you all manage to keep this such a secret?? He's the only important character (besides Lucy and, I guess, Dracula) who dies and you all managed to keep it a secret until the very last day???? Impressive
