Hii! Can I please request a Renfield x fem!witch!reader headcannon? Ooo like a witch from TVD (if you’ve seen it!!)

Hey Cece!! Unfortunately, I haven't seen TVD yet, so I'll try my best!!

♡♡♡

He was shocked when you told him about your little hobby.

I mean, he's practically been a slave to a vampire for ninty-three years, so he's bound to be a little uncomfortable by anything paranormal.

At first.

When you showed him your tarot deck for the first time and very accurately read his past, he didn't talk for a solid ten minutes. Just blankly staring down at the cards laid out before him.

He hated the idea of spirits watching over him or something like that, but he was also oddly mesmerized by it all, too.

Not only by the accuracy of the cards or the safety he felt whenever he carried around the small bag of crystals you put together just for him, but how much you loved your craft.

How splaying out a deck of tarot or oracle cards was like a second nature to you.

Or when you'd cleanse your alarming amount of crystals in the full moon's light.

You always got this focused look in your eyes whenever you finally got to sit down and practice your spells and such. He just found it so adorable and sexy all at the same time!

Call him old fashioned, but Renfeild never believed in any of that stuff, really. A rock is a rock and cards are just cards. And burning sage releases a relaxing smell, not chase away evil spirts. That was what he truly believed.

Then again, if an ancient, evil vampire can manipulate him for a lifetime, then he guessed anything could happen.

But none of that stops him from supporting you in anyway that he can!!

See a new crystal that just seems to be calling to you? He'll get it for you!

Wanna practice your tarot readings? He's more than happy to dig into his past, present, or future just for you!

Need some help making your very own sage bundle? He's your guy!

Hell, sometimes he's asking you about the constellations and zodiac signs, or the moon and what all of it means.

No matter what he thinks, as long as you're happy, Ren will love and support you no matter what.

[samd1o1]

I understand why this wasn't used in the film (the serious Dracula manipulation is better) but god damn it's still funny.

[gerardway-is-my-babygirl]

Thinking about Renfield stitching up Dracula's old clothes whenever he finds them In a pile somewhere. He grabs moth eaten blazers and button up shirts and ties and fixes them up and puts them somewhere nice where they won't get destroyed again.

He's such a little housewife and I can't stop thinking about him sitting on the floor of the hospital with a thread and needle humming his favourite songs while Dracula sleeps. Sometimes he repairs clothes deep Into the night and Dracula wakes up to the sounds of his familiar pricking his fingers and humming to himself. Most times he startles Renfield with his presence and makes his familiar prick himself on purpose, though on rare occasions he lets Renfield continue for a little longer while he scratches him behind the ear like a dog.

After Dracula dies he ends up teaching himself how to knit and crochet with all of the free time he has. He has a giant basket full of yarn and spends all day and all night just repeating the same motions with a needle over and over again. He's a very fidgety person and loves the simple movements of his wrists whenever he makes something (It's definitely a stim for him)

Rebecca comes over and finds him after he hasn't slept In 3 days and drags him over to his bed and tidies up while he naps. He's pretty bad at crocheting at the start, and the yarn keeps coming loose, but he gradually Improves at following patterns he finds In magazines (grandma coded) until he manages to make a blanket for Rebecca!

Renfield (2023)

"This is my comfort movie" the movie in question.

[barghesthowls]

I was thinking about 19th century sports/sporty activities and which ones would be the favorite to watch or participate in for each Dracula character

Jonathan: He's never actually played a sport, other than like, soccer at the orphanage. But he enjoys watching fencing. He can imagine fight scenes from his favorite stories.

Mina: Likes riding horses, and watching horse riding as evidenced by her interest in the Rotten Row and her praise for horses later.

Lucy: We learn that she enjoys playing tennis, fishing, riding, rowing (though it's likely Arthur's doing the rowing). She's a sporty gal. Will destroy anyone at tennis. She'd likely enjoy cycling were she allowed to learn. Prefers participating over watching.

Dracula: Horse riding and he likes horses (yes just like Mina) as we see how he calms them. Hunting, though as a human it was less for personal enjoyment as it is to him now.

Seward: Boxing. He likely learned from a young age, like many wealthy boys, but I think he kept it up because he found it as a good regulator. Also, hunting, which he discovered he liked after uni thanks to his friends.

Renfield: Spent his youth engaging in various sports less out of personal choice and more due to a wealthy upbringing. Despite his impressive build and natural strength, he may be more interested in intellectual pursuits.

Arthur: Boating/sailing (as we see later), fishing, rowing. River and lake stuff in general are his forte. But he dabbles in various activities. He likes watching rugby.

Quincey: Hunting is his passion. Riding, hiking, shooting contests. Seeks out risky thrills like rodeos and calf roping.

Van Helsing: He dabbled in cricket in his youth as it was all the rage in the Netherlands but that's it. He takes very long walks though.

*Renfield: on his knees showering a dog in affection and baby talk as it licks his face lovingly*

*Dracula: standing with a tense scowl as he and a cat hiss at each other*

RENFIELD HEADCANONS GO!!!

i dont really have any headcanons per say (also hai!!! i kept putting off answering because i got shyyy ;-; but im cool now) i think my most like.. "strange" hcs are like,, "yeah bro i also read the media correctly as the director intended"

ok ok but if i had to say one i have, and i know the haters and villains' are gonna HATE this but i hc rebecca as aroace. You Can Cancel Me For That. I Don't Care. Its just my opinion. Go ahead and cancel me.

also ALSO.. i think renfield gets it down to music like this like he

yes whiteboy!!! get down to that misogynistic ass beat

[gentleman-aster]

I've just found out about @bluecatwriter 's Jonathan and Renfield fics and oh god I am NOT normal

Thank god my exams this week are about plants and bugs cause if I had to make an effort studying I'd be FUCKED

[downinthehull]

Little!Renfield

because he's really just a little guy

i rewatched the movie and thought I'd make a moodboard for him :)

headcanon i have:

he was somehow able to get ahold of one of his daughter's stuffed animals, and has held onto it ever since. maybe he managed to get back home at some point, or maybe she had even sent him off with it, either way he's kept it in the best condition he possibly could.

he's done the best job he could of making sure dracula hadn't seen it through the years. no doubt he'd only open himself up to additional ridicule and belittling if he had seen it.

so renfield had kept it packed away, in one of his few bags he was able to have whenever they needed to move. he's made sure he always had it.

i imagine taking it out and hugging it was one of the first things he did when he got away from dracula.

[chanelpirate]

ok but how did dracula get all those excellently tailored outfits

[samd1o1]

I think it's rlly interesting how all the "mad" characters in the classic lit I've read are very easily diagnosable and probably would be fine with some fucking therapy.

Dorian Gray is a BPD girlie.

Henry Jekyll has some intrusive thoughts from OCD.

Jonathan Harker has PTSD.

R.M. Renfield has bipolar and psychosis.

Victor Frankenstein is a traumatized autistic.

Roderick Usher has schizophrenia and should leave that house.

I liked Griffin cus I couldn't diagnose him with anything. He's just a top with a lust for blood.

[gerardway-is-my-babygirl]

I need everyone to consider Renfield watching the hotel transylvania movies and falling In love with the Dracula In those films. He'd love that series with all of his heart and force real Dracula to watch the first one. They only get a few minutes In before Dracula turns away In disgust at how soft and weak he Is being portrayed In media. "THIS Is how people view me?!?! How DARE they!!!" and then he goes on a massacre and kills a few people while Renfield sits at home with a bucket of popcorn and enjoys his silly little movie.

I think he'd hang up posters of hotel transylvania In his house and complain that Dracula won't have a daughter with him. He'd love Mavis too and Imagine what Lillian would've been like at her age and then cry a lot. Dracula gets Intensely jealous of Renfield's relationship with this fictional character, but does nothing about It since he doesn't want Renfield to call him sensitive.

*(Since there's 2 pre-canon fics and 2 days of may before dd, i'm setting those fics on those dates. Dates of undated fics are also adjusted to not overlap with date of other fics)

*(The order during the varna stay is a bit wacky since the book gets pretty vague for 2 weeks there but I tried to adjust it as well as possible.)

1-A picnic in may. May 1st 2-Home before you know it. May 2nd 3-I too can love. May 16th 4-Three letters. May 19th 5-The prisioner. May 28th 6-Tonight is mine. June 29th 7-Stay awake.

September 29th 23-How good and thoughtful. September 29th 24-Brandy, bath, and beadtime. September 30th or October 1st (preferably the former since the dd entry is slightly shorter that day) 25-A pale orphan. October 2nd 26-You will not call in vain. Between September 30th and October 11th?? 27-Renfield’s death. October 3rd 28-Safe for one more moment. October 3rd 29-A week in varna. Between October 15th and October 27th? 30-Waiting. Between October 17th and October 27th? 31-Hungry. Between October 17th and October 27th? 32-Judge moneybag. Between October 15th and October 27th? 33-How i miss my phonograph.

Omg guys it's may already I'm so exited for this. This year I know I will be up do date with everything even tho I'm busy with my End of Degree Project because the dracula fixation i caught last year is a part of my life now I have been planning this so long guys.

[vampir3bitez]

Jackie but its 100% by accident (either via possession or just going a little too ham. Think that scene from arcane where Jayce accidentally hit the kid and killed him). He gets in his head about it and there's that whole " HERO ISNT ACTUALLY GOOD " thing like at the beginning of spiderman no way home

[popironrye]

Domestic Renfield Idea:

Imagine Robert was actually a really good cook with a love of trying new things, but for so many years with Dracula he never really cooked and was stuck eating ramen or something cause it's so quick, easy to make, and very cheap.

So after being free, he gets a cook book and just makes every single recipe in it. No self control, he makes it all in a single day. What a surprise to be had for a potential partner! 🩷
