The thing you need to know about Johnathan Harker is that the nuns who found him on the side of the road crazed, half starved, and ranting about bloodsucking monsters wrote on his report card that "Johnathan is a delight to have in class"

The man is telling anyone who will listen about how the devil walks the earth like a man and climbs the walls like a lizard and still never forgets to say please and thank you. Mina was absolutely right to wife him.

Dracula Gets Hit With A Shovel (Colourised) (sound on)

… or an artistic rendition of June the 30th

This took me a month to make, but I would have gotten it done sooner if it weren’t for my very old, very capricious computer.

Anyhow, hope you like it. Here’s the link for the version on YouTube if you want:

I love how in the Dracula Daily fandom, we don’t say that we are beginning once again on May 3rd.

Rather, we say “my dear friend Johnathan is preparing for his upcoming trip. I hope he has such a wonderful time and that he brings back some delicious recipes :)”

And I think that’s beautiful

Reading Dracula makes you particularly hate the fact that movies and adaptations have been so adamant on putting Mina with Dracula and treating Jonathan as a cold Englishman because that man ADORES Mina. We're only at the very first pages of the book and already, he talks about her all the time. "Get this recipe for Mina", "write about the trip to give all the details to Mina", like PLEASE. There's not one entry in his journal where he doesn't mention her or even dedicate his words to her when she'll find the notebook. This man is OBSESSED with his fiancé !!

(I'm editing this because someone mentioned it in the reblogs, but my introduction to Dracula was the french musical and Jonathan LOVES Mina in that one. It still pretty much adapts Coppola's version more than the book, but they gave a whole song to Jonathan as to how he feels completely helpless and betrayed when Mina cheats on him with Dracula. But he still stays at her side ! She's the one to kill Dracula but he's always around to support her ! He stands on business during the whole musical !!)

(also the musical makes dracula silent and he expresses himself through dance and through three other characters who are basically personnifications of his soul, his conscience and his emotions. that part is dope asf)

babe wake up it's Quincey day

[plantdonut]

it's may once more... you know what that means

[thefandomlifechoseme]

me, when Jonny Sims appears in any piece of media he's been part of: oh hey. what's Jonny Sims doing in this piece of media I started consuming solely because Jonny Sims was in it.

I really do think dracula daily/re: dracula is the best way to experience dracula the book, because it adds an entirely new level of horror and dread that a book can never truly achieve.

Because, instead of simply reading through the book in one go, you have to wait along with it. You get to see Jonathan express his terror in real time, and experience the dread of days going by with no news from him, wondering what could possibly be going on in the time you hear nothing.

Like it’s a level of horror of the unknown storytelling that Bram Stoker never could have imagined and it adds an entirely new experience to the story and i just think it’s neat

Funniest thing about Quincy shooting the bat and breaking the window is that he confesses that he's been shooting every goddamn bat he's seen over the past few days.

There's a missing part of this novel that's just the notes of a very concerned conservationist and local police records detailing how they teamed up to find out who's been shooting all these bats in the middle of the night.

Dracula making sure Jonathan sees him making the bed and preparing the dinner is so sadistic.

At the beginning Dracula makes a lot of effort to pretend that there are servants everywhere, even miming as a carriage driver.

And then he starts to shift Jonathans sleeping rhythm, so he is awake all night (like Dracula himself).

Then says: „you can go everywhere, expect for the locked doors“

And suddenly Jonathan noticed that ALL doors are locked and he is fact a prisoner. Driving him nearly mad.

And to increase the torture even more, Dracula now makes sure that Jonathan sees him doing the servant work making sure Jonathan realizes he is not only trapped, he is also completely alone.
