Scriptfrin: If you could add one line to the script, what would it be?

Scriptfrin: “I mean… there’s a LOT of stuff I’d want to say. And if I were being practical, probably a small spiel explaining my whole, uh… issue to strangers. Probably could’ve saved us a huge headache with Nille if I could just say what’s going on… (Should probably keep a note like that on me, actually.)”

Scriptfrin: “But, uh, guess if I’m being honest…”

Scriptfrin: “… but hopefully, they already know that.”

GRIMS COMING!!! You gonna pull for him??👀👀

I'm gonna try, but...

I have mere hours to decide if I want to make one last attempt at Malleus or save a few to try for Grim...and this is all before the new event reveal on the 16th. truly the most difficult choice of our modern times. the gacha is getting its revenge for all of my Lilias.

wanted to try my hand at a fake screenshot thing with a scene from one of the bttf fics of all time, Time Is a Flat Circle by @fourth-dimensional-thinker! i set in to draw only the "little canary" line but. as you can tell. my hand slipped and fell down a 6 story building

if you haven't read it already please check it out PLEASEEE it's very good. i read the whole thing in basically one sitting. the vibes are perfect for the spooky season too!

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

What's this blog for?

My goal is to follow the "Dracula Daily" tag for the year 2024 and reblog story-relevant art. This means I want it to turn out almost like a picture book -- where there's one tag for every Dracula Daily date, and you can look through the fanart for each date.

I will also gradually be reblogging art from the previous years (but keeping it spoiler-free!) You'll find the art for each year under the tags "2024", "2023" and "2022", as well as in their respective date tags.

More Notes & FAQ unter the cut:

*Note: If you're listening to Re: Dracula, or reading the original book instead of the Dracula Daily e-mails, the events of September 21 are covered in the same entry as September 20! This is because Bram Stoker apparently overlooked that everything after Lucy's immediate death happens on the following day. The e-mails split events up as it should be, with two seperate days.

Reblog guidelines:

I try to keep it as story-relevant as possible.* This means that I won't reblog AU art, most character portraits with no further context, and similar things. Some of it may be a bit of a gray zone. For example: character portraits that feature a specific character who only appears in one or two entries, I will probably reblog for that entry. Character portraits of, let's say, Jonathan I won't reblog bc that's too unspecific, UNLESS there is something linking it - again - to a specific part of the book that's easy to pinpoint, like the very first days of his journey. *Note: "story-relevant" doesn't mean "100% text-accurate". Joke posts and art related more to the general impression of an entry that are not direct illustrations of a scene absolutely count!

Spoiler policy:

This blog will be spoiler-free for the 2024 season! Any art from the previous years that concerns a later date will only be posted when that date comes around. Please note: Sometimes a piece of art will allude to or foreshadow things that happen further on in the story, while definitely belonging to a date that has already happened! For these cases I will use the tag "spoilery content" - please blacklist that tag if you want to avoid possible spoilers completely! [Here's an example of what sort of things I'd consider to belong under that tag. Spoilery for Lucy's storyline so view under your own risk.]

What about things like collages, edits and moodboards?

I'm not opposed to reblogging them, too! They only need to be made specific enough so they can be attached to a specific entry. But since they're not my first priority when scanning the tags for pictures (my brain skips anything that's not a drawing almost on autopilot), I've likely missed them all. You're welcome to send something in that you think fits here!

thanks anon i have actually never drawn cisswaps before!! i tried to change like as little as possible so their insufferable personalities would still be getting in the way of their visuals and consequently romantic attention

Imagine being rich and paying for bland minimalist textiles and cold sterilized homes when you could be paying folk artists handsomely for handcrafted beauty and color —helping preserve honestly quite priceless artistic traditions and supporting the people who keep these legacies alive— instead.

i am not anti-media-piracy, in fact i support it heartily on the media preservation level, and i have mixed but partially positive feelings about it on the individual choice/saving money level...

but the way some people talk about piracy like it's a heroic thing to do - not in the preservation sense, but in the 'fuck companies!!! if i can get something for free and screw them over, I'm fighting capitalism!' sense - oh some people sound like real goobers with those arguments.

ahhhhhh i remember why i dont read comics & books and watch movies as much as I should. Because they make me lose it

ok taking a serious look at who the pt 2 cards might be, possible candidates are ichiro samatoki jyuto kuko doppo saburo

number of events since last appearance: ichiro (3), samatoki (12), jyuto (2), kuko (2), saburo (9), doppo (4)

number of gacha appearances since last free appearance: ichiro (1), samatoki (1), jyuto (3), kuko (2), saburo (1), doppo (2)

so if jyuto is one of the pt 2 ssrs then i feel like he absolutely must be free, but he and kuko showed up so recently that it feels like they aren't likely to be ssrs again so soon (and if they are then likely not on the same banner again since they were together just 2 events ago)

samatoki and saburo haven't been seen in the longest, and they do both have fairly unique designs (cardigan for samatoki oh my god that cardigan and the uniform + an additional vest for saburo) so imo it's looking likely they'll be cards

based solely on the numbers the third card should be doppo, and that seems possibly... likely? since he's already shown on hifumi's card? (like how the roller coaster cards basically previewed one another)

but with the smic plot brewing it does feel odd that ichiro wouldn't be an ssr as well

so

samatoki (free) + ichiro and saburo on paid banner

seems most likely to me

but doppo (free) + samatoki and saburo on paid banner is possible also.........

i guess theoretically doppo + ichiro + samatoki is possible too but seems less likely considering how long saburo's been gone

also possible that they really will just throw jyuto back in and have a jyuto (free) + samatoki and ??? paid banner

tl;dr I DON'T KNOW SHIT. BUT SAMATOKI SHOULD BE THERE. FOR SURESIES.

Hello! I was wondering if you have something against your tunes being associated with fandom stuff (like if I feel it fits a character well and wanted to draw that character to go with the song). I'm wondering about shapes specifically.

Hi!!! thank you for taking the time to ask; in *general, not at all!! I find myself associating my own songs w other stories sometimes & I have to restrain myself from making them fan songs LOL
