#my friend Jonathan Harker

[duckysprouts]

how dare adaptations make dracula/mina the ship when first of all, jonathan is the obvious gothic heroine of the book, and second of all mina would put the fear of God in dracula for touching her man. she proposed to him as soon as he woke up from his coma and MARRIED him while he was in the sick bed of a catholic hospital, this girl is Not Normal either

AITA for being annoyed my client/host threw my only mirror out of a window?

I (22M) am a solicitor and currently staying at a client’s castle in Transylvania. As I was shaving this morning my client (??M) grabbed my mirror, got mad at me for bleeding, called the mirror a “foul bauble of man’s vanity” and threw it out of the castle window. I was annoyed and was going to say something but then I noticed he was making my bed even though he says he has servants(?? I have yet to see one)

Edit: is it strange that I didn’t see his reflection in the mirror??

It is the eve of St. George's Day and I'm sure our friend Jonathan Harker is going to have a completely unremarkable business trip.

Last year I didn't finish my Dracula stitches until October, so I'm posting them this year in line with their appearance in the text! (Pattern available in my shop here!)

Dear Jonathan,

Let it all out, buddy.

Don't let him gaslight you, this man sounds seriously unhinged. He has crossed so many lines with you, just in this update alone. He has no right to decide if you are allowed to shave, to steal your things, or to lock you in. You are not paranoid, this guy is fucking nuts. I can see why everyone in town was worried for you.

Don't lose hope. You can escape. I believe in you. Keep your wits. Don't show your hand. You've got this.

When you get out of there, we'll go get you a nice clean shave, if you like.

Your Friend,

SR

P.S. What a classist dick that guy is. "What good are peasants without a leader?" go fuck yourself. "Brain and heart" aren't fucking dependent on having money. What a myopic, imperialist douche-bag.

Happy shovel day to all who celebrate

[therabbitthatpostthings]

If this site gets overrun by AI scalpers I’m just gonna late night post about my cousin Throckmorten. He’s a skater you know and never lets anyone get him down, you can’t rock the Throck.

dracula is a comedy

[wierd-mockery]

The Count appears to be getting too close and personal with his good friend Jonathan Harker

[dawneetay]

[myrling-art]

Holy sweet spring time, Batman! Is that the blessed month of May I'm hearing around the corner?

now where in the world is My Bestie Jonathan Harker today?

[your-friend-bram]

November 7

Jonathan said that Arthur and Seward are married now (I'm assuming to each other), while he and Mina have a son named Quincey!

I hope they all live happily from now on.

And as for you, my dear friend, I hope you live happily as well. Until next time, I bid you adieu. Goodbye.

Dear Jonathan

Heyyy bestie. Sorry to hear your train was late. That's so annoying. Glad you're enjoying your travels though! Travel logistics are such a headache. I'd love to hear more about what those bridges looked like!

Was the Hotel Royale nice? I hope Mina likes the paprika hendl and impletata recipes you get her! How has your German come in handy so far?

I think it's great that you're doing research about the country you're visiting! So many people miss out on that and it makes an ass out of everybody!

I'm surprised by your feeling that the trains are worse in the east than the west. I've found the opposite to be true. I've been amazed at how well-organized, efficient and reliable the trains in Japan were in my own travels. Perhaps it is more a matter of your being in such remote locations? Or merely some other quirk of the specific railway you're on? Then again, my universe is significantly further ahead in the timeline than yours is, so that could be a difference as well.

I will say that I am a bit concerned by how you talk about the locals. You don't need to be commenting on the physical attractiveness of the local women. It's weird to make those kinds of judgments about random women, especially categorically. Not good weird. Bad weird, Jonathan. I'm telling you this as your friend. Because I would be a bad friend if I didn't call you in on this shit. I don't think you're a bad guy. Just, y'know, try and check yourself a little bit with that stuff. Similarly, describing a whole nationality/class/whatever group as "not prepossessing" or "wanting in natural self-assertion" is just not something you need to be doing.

Anyway, I wish you safe and happy travels.

Your Friend,

@spiders-rob
