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 !

Jonathan: *armed with knife* I want a bloody divorce.
Dracula: what are you going to do, Johnny? Stab me?
Jonathan: *Brandishes knife* >:|
*One ass-whoopin and mugging later*
Dracula: *patching his wounds*
Dracula: *To his brides, offended* I can’t believe he ACTUALLY stabbed me!!

Hey. Anon who submitted Dracula and Jonathan here. I didn't mean the netflix adaptation, I just meant the book. But I guess what's done is done.
Since Dracula was published in 1897, I would say that absolutely doesn't count as queerbait but at most as queercoded. But we can vote on it.

Forbidden Nights Intermission - R.E.D (Crossover, Jonathan X Dracula, Prendick X Montgomery, etc)
Meanwhile, the AO3 version has reached this far that Dracula cast finally properly appeared!
Summary:
Months passed as Jonathan's whereabouts became unknown as he had vanished off the face of the Earth. However, the Demeters' crash onto the shore of Whitby clued in the Noble's Isle group that everything is not as it seems. What other events will be changed from this moment onward? Qill it be for the better or worst? And who will be responsible for it?

Hope you enjoy it!

I think Jonathan and Mina would be the type of couple to take a photo like this:

I think Jonathan is dense on purpose sometimes to Dracula’s love for him.
Like what do you mean you only get that Dracula will protect you for as long as you have use just after he admitted to loving you.
Jonathan. Is there something you do not want to say about it. Or do you GENUINELY not get it 😞
