#starheart reads dracula

[bleeding-star-heart]

Seriously Dracula is already on the loose and he literally killed Lucy. The boys need to torch the boxes cause they know damn well the boxes are important. 

[bleeding-star-heart]

I personally ended up reading through the subtext of Dracula being an abusive (emphasis on abusive) boyfriend, which, to me, is honestly much scarier than the story itself at face value.  Mostly because face value has me asking questions about the peasants and the Romani people Dracula hires, and it’s like “if Drac could hire the Romani ppl to do this for him, why doesn’t he hire them to be his domestic servants?”  And through those questions it’s clear that Stoker doesn’t view them as people but exotic background extras, which does not endear me to Stoker at all.  But  “How dare you smile politely while you torture me?” is pretty good actually. That actually puts some horror in the face value of it all. 

So 99% of the time I'm happy to keep my distance from Dracula Daily posts I disagree with or memes I find annoying, but there's something I want to speak up about here because it's a case where I think shipping & meme lenses are genuinely impeding people's ability to understand the story.

Specifically: In today's entry, Jonathan describes how "Last night the Count asked me in the suavest tones" to write three post-dated letters saying he’s fine and on his way home. Which Jonathan correctly understands as Dracula covering his tracks so it'll take longer for people to realize if Jonathan doesn't make it home.

The thing is, I've seen probably dozens of posts commenting on Jonathan using the word "suave", and it's always from a shippy lens. "Ooh, ~in his suavest tones~ huh", "Jonathan worrying he's about to die but still noticing Dracula's suave tones", etc. etc.

And I get it! Jonathan/Dracula shipping is obviously very big right now, and there are places in Dracula where the homoerotic subtext is very real. I'm not here to say that looking at Dracula through a queer lens, or the lens of whatever your preferred ship is, is incorrect.

But this is a case where I think looking at the story only through that lens is keeping people from picking up on the actual implications here. The point of specifying that Dracula said this "in his suavest tones" isn’t that Jonathan thinks he has a sexy voice. I mean, maybe Jonathan does think that! Who can say. But that's not what matters here, what's significant to the scene.

The significance of Dracula saying this "in his suavest tones" is that he's still putting on the act of the charming, gentlemanly host, even now that he's long past any possibility of Jonathan actually believing it. Not only that, but as his actions become more and more blatantly threatening - he's literally forcing Jonathan to help pre-emptively cover up his own murder - he's actually turning up the act, laying it on thicker than ever. Not just asking smoothly but in his suavest tones. There's something so deeply cruel and mocking and infuriating about that, like he's daring Jonathan to call him out on the act and face the consequences.

You get that sense of Jonathan's fear and anger and frustration all throughout this entry. He knows Dracula's a liar and he knows what he's being forced into, but he feels helpless to do anything about it right now. And I think those feelings are very much there when he bothers to note Dracula's ~suavest tones~, too. It's not Ooh, he has a sexy voice, it's How dare you smile politely while you torture me?

Superman #83 (November 1993)

Funeral for a Friend: uh, that one Green Lantern supporting character who died when Coast City got blown up (Joe? Gary?). In this issue DC’s superheroes pay tribute to the tragedy of Coast City while also deciding what the hell to do with the giant engine that’s now in its place. Weird early ‘90s Hawkman! Dr. Fate with boobs! Already-slightly-psychotic Hal Jordan! EVERYONE IS HERE.

(Nice one, Guy.)

Meanwhile, Lex Luthor Jr. is also sneaking around Engine City, supposedly to prevent it from falling into the ocean and killing some of Aquaman’s friends, but in reality he just wants to look into the Cyborg Superman’s computer to see if he can find a recipe for making kryptonite. As the heroes argue about what to do with Engine City (Hal says drop it into the water, screw the fish), some leftover Warworld aliens start attacking them, like the holdout Japanese soldiers who never found out WWII was over.

The attack precipitates the city’s fall into the water and the heroes have to think fast to prevent a fish holocaust. Their solution is for all the Green Lantern-related characters (Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, Alan’s daughter Jade) to “detoxify” the debris with their powers before it falls into the ocean. And it works! These guys should totally open a carpet cleaning business.

As for Lex Jr., he does find the recipe for kryptonite inside the crumbling city, but just as he’s about to write it down (he wasn’t carrying any floppy disks, apparently), Supergirl yanks him out of there to prevent him from burning alive. What an unsupportive girlfriend. Anyway, Superman then takes some of the debris and builds a giant memorial for Coast City’s 6,999,999 anonymous lost souls, and Gary. Sweet Gary. You will be missed.

Creator-Watch:

If the art looks different that’s because this is the first issue inked by Joe Rubinstein, ending Brett Breeding’s classic two and a half year run as Dan Jurgens’ main inker (so classic that it feels a lot longer than that). Breeding will be back for Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey and other stuff, though. As for Rubinstein, Don says: “At  the time, I had trouble with the transition, being soused to Brett Breeding’s finishes over Jurgens’ pencils, but looking at it now, the art looks great. It doesn’t look as smooth or blocky as Breeding’s finishes, but Rubinstein’s hatchier style serves Jurgens pretty well, even if it takes some getting used to.”

Plotline-Watch:

At the start of the issue, Superman goes to pick up Batman to take him to Coast City, only to find him wearing a different costume, acting differently, and sounding like a different guy. That’s because that’s not really Bruce Wayne in the suit anymore, but the replacement he got after Bane broke his back. That’s right: freakin’ Psi-Phon and Dreadnaught.

Superman gives a speech about how superheroes must work together to prevent another tragedy like Coast City from happening, but when Guy asks him if that means he’s going back to the Justice League, he’s like “uh, not yet.” Wisely, he’s gonna wait for Grant Morrison to get there first.

Hal Jordan’s characterization in this issue is interesting. In Green Lantern #47 (which came out the same month), he’s bummed about Coast City but still hopeful and serene, while here he’s already going Parallax on us. Wonder if Dan Jurgens knew more about what DC was planning for Hal than the other comic’s writer.

There’s a cute scene where Superman is flying by Kansas on his way to Coast City and quickly drops some flowers for Ma Kent. (That, or Flash picked this moment to hit on a random older woman.) 

Former TV exec/crime boss Morgan Edge has released an autobiography where he trashes the Daily Planet’s Cat Grant for using her sexiness (and, you know, sex) to get dirt on him and send him to jail. He also accuses Cat of being a crappy mother to her son Adam. He kind of has a point there, because what kind of mom would let her kid play with an Atari in the early ‘90s?! The SNES and the Genesis were already out!

Believe it or not, Morgan Edge’s pervy dad in that screenshot above isn’t the creepiest thing in that scene. Don: “Very spooky how the guy dangling outside of Cat’s apartment goes without mention. An ominous foreshadow of one of the very few missteps of Jurgens’ run.”

But the most ominous part of the issue is at the end, when Clark Kent accepts Jimmy Olsen’s offer to become roomies, since Clark lost his apartment on account of being dead and all. Don wants you to know that ���Jimmy is still in that towel by the way” in the scene below. I hope.

Patreon-Watch:

Shout out to our patrons Aaron, Murray Qualie, Chris “Ace” Hendrix, britneyspearsatemyshorts, Patrick D. Ryall, and a warm welcome to Samuel Doran! Last month our patrons got to read an article about Superman’s bizarre first Elseworlds appearance ever, the Kamandi: At Earth’s End miniseries, and got a veeeeeery early look at this post you’re reading right now (since Don finished his part way before I did mine). Right now I’m preparing this month’s Patreon-only article, which involves Superman wearing pointy ears and Luthor wearing make up. Find out more at https://www.patreon.com/superman86to99

Oh, and in case you missed it, we’ve been posting Don’s new commentary for older issues on the Patreon as free posts (click above and scroll down to see them). EVEN MORE from Don after the jump!

Art-Watch (by @donsparrow​):

Another classic issue, and such a nice wrap-up to the "Death and Return" storyline (as well as being a much-needed check-In on the DC Universe at  large).  We start with the cover, and it’s a very good one, letting the  reader know right away that it’s a big team-up issue.  (It also is a real showcase for 90s costume design, and how weird the JLA lineup was at this point).

The opening splash is a neat image of a rarely seen pairing, Superman and Commissioner Gordon.   Jurgens draws James Gordon a little heavier and more Pa-Kent like than I’m used to seeing him, but it’s still neat to see him interacting with Superman. A page  later, we get another rare pairing—the returned Superman with the imposter Batman, Jean-Paul Valley.  The tension in the interaction between “AzBats” and Superman comes across well in their exchange, as does Superman’s doubts about who he was really speaking to.

It’s a dreamy looking Superman crossing the country from Metropolis to Coast City, and I daresay that they’re trying to channel Dean Cain a little as he approaches Kansas.

The best panel of the issue though is the two page spread  of all the heroes gathering at the wreckage of Coast City, and there’s so much to love here.  The body language, and facial  expressions speak volumes about each of the characters:  Superman looking swashbuckling and upbeat, Green Lantern brooding like a man barely holding on, Green Arrow all attitude and shadow.  Just a great spread.

Another cool image is Aquaman showing up late, and emerging very royally in protection of his ocean (undercut masterfully by a legitimately funny couple of lines from Guy Gardner).  Page 14’s Hal Jordan is a great drawing, and this whole storyline seems like a table setter for the "Emerald Twilight" story coming up.

The sequence of a firelit Luthor  at the computer is a good look at his madness, but it does beg the  question of just how little Supergirl seems to take in.  He was JUST talking aloud  about Kryptonite, and she emerges seeming not to hear.  The image of  Supergirl flying Lex away as he struggles against her psychic grab is a  good one, even if her uniform is depicted as a little clingier than I imagine it to really be.

Superman floating above his obelisk with his arm in front of  his face like Dracula is a cool look, even if it is a little dramatic.

Lastly, the image of Clark turning up the stereo is a good one, even if his hair length is wildly  shorter here than in Coast City (and I usually dislike it when they  mention real world bands, as it comes off trying too hard to be hip).

STRAY OBSERVATIONS:

I  have to love how meta it is to have Superman outright saying that Batman is dressing more “threatening” these days,  on page 2.  I guess he couldn’t come right out and say “you have an  extreme new look, and it’s totally badass! Batman the next generation!”

Last  we saw of Supergirl she was storming out of the party on Lex’s Zeppelin after Lex II was getting all horned up at  the sight of Lois Lane, but it appears here they’ve mostly patched  things up as they fly to Coast City.

More meta-stuff: Jimmy clunkily complimenting Lois on her new hair by saying she “oughta be on TV or something!”.   This whole exchange is very expository, really, “Clark must be pretty mad… though he’s busy worrying about where he’s going to bunk…���  Anything else to get in there, Jimmy?

The harshness some of the heroes have for Lex Junior seems a little out of place, especially since he’s still known to  most of the heroes as an ally from "Panic in the Sky", and the "Doomsday"  storyline.  Superman’s comment was borderline, but where is all this  anger Flash is showing coming from?

Being  as familiar as we are with these writers, there are certain phrases or ideas that a certain writer will go to way,  way too often.  Byrne had a number of stories where Superman would  “ionize” something with his heat vision, and it occurred to me that  maybe he just liked that word.  I would submit that Dan Jurgens likes the word “atomize”.  It was used by the Cyborg  Superman when talking about Doomsday, and is used a bunch just in this issue.

I find it hilarious that Hawkman appears so prominently in this issue, but doesn’t get any lines.  This issue is an  interesting time capsule—I had almost forgotten about the de-aged  Starheart powered Alan Scott era.

Speaking of lines, they don’t give Captain Marvel much to do in this issue, but I always like seeing him, even if his only contribution is the odd “Holy Moley!”

Colouring error on page 12, where Hal’s ring has a red centre (maybe the colourist had Alan Scott’s red and green look on the brain?)

A raging Hal standing by Green Arrow is a sad foreshadowing of their confrontation to come in Zero Hour.

Yeah, I kind of agree with this a little bit. Seward for me didn’t come across as a monster really, more like a well-meaning but incompetent doctor.  And the incompetent bit was mostly because somehow there was vermin in Renfield’s cell in the first place-like dude, do you not sanitize anything? Do you not hire people to keep the asylum clean? But even the idiot part really can be chalked up General Victorian Incompetence regarding mental health issues.  Which, not gonna lie, DOES come off as irritating from a modern perspective, especially one that belongs to a Psych major. But then again, General Victorian Incompetence.  But then again, hopefully 100-200 years from now, people will think of OUR standard mental health practices as bad and incompetent-because of course science will have improved by then. 

girllll you are NOT mansplaining an ableist character from a 100 year old novel 💀💀💀

You’re right nonny. I’m not. Good job on picking that up!

Firstly, I’m not “mansplaining” anything. Mansplaining is a word, in my opinion, that has become far too overused and the definition - which actually identified something really specific and important to call out! - has become far too muddied. Mansplaining is specifically when a man is speaking with someone else who is not a man and due to unexamined privilege and lack of self awareness, explains something to the other party in a way that is condescending or patronising without taking into account that the other party might be just as, if not more, educated on the subject than he is.

Stating your opinion, or presenting an argument clearly and explicitly, is not mansplaining. Especially not in an open forum like Tumblr. I will however admit to being pedantic, someone who likes to explain things, and - when the mood strikes - someone who can be condescending and a little snarky.

Secondly, and this is a nuanced take nonny so take care, Seward is not ableist by the standards of his time. I’m not about to argue that Victorian Asylum’s were good places. They weren’t. They were awful institutions that inflicted countless harms on people for years. But in a time and place where it was accepted and encouraged to starve, beat, waterboard, isolate, and otherwise torture patients in order to “heal” them, the fact the Seward’s standard practise is to carry out what we would recognise today as akin to a modern therapy session, i.e. asking questions, actively listening to the patient, considering them an equal, and basing treatment off the information gained in said session, his code of conduct is nigh revolutionary in it’s level of compassion and understanding.

In fact, ironically, contemporary audiences may have been put off by Seward for the exact opposite reason, because his actions and how he treats his patients would be considered too kindly and coddling, almost to the point of folly. There are times further on in the novel where Seward’s insistence on treating Renfield fairly and equally puts himself and his friends in real danger.

This is not to say that Seward is all primroses and rainbows. Again, as the book goes on we are going to see him struggle back and forth between the views on the mentally ill held by the English society he lives in (views that today, yes we would consider ableist) and what he has been taught by his mentor Van Helsing, a foreign and forward-thinking, open minded doctor with a key interest in the strange and the occult. Seward is not a perfect man. He’s not meant to be. None of the protagonists are.

This book deals explicitly with themes centred around the British Empire, and specifically the fear that the British Empire was under threat from dangerous and insidious foreign forces. Some of the primary avenues this larger theme is explored by is queerness, xenophobia, class, gender, and mental health. We’re going to get into some messy and heavy territory, and Seward and the rest of the Crew of Light are going to be doing a lot worse than carrying out a less than stellar therapy session (which I repeat, Seward acknowledged, regretted, and aimed to resolve in the future, hardly the acts of a careless doctor).

If you’re going to stumble at the first hurdle of understanding that this book was written in the 19th Century and therefore has some problematic and outdated ideas in it, I’m not sure Classical Literature is for you. This isn’t the latest bestseller being pushed at you by a marketing team, this is an old book, and judging it or reading it without taking that context into consideration is going to be, quite frankly, a difficult and miserable task.

There’s so much to get angry about in the world nonny, please don’t let your cause be cancelling long dead authors for writing characters that would actually have been considered progressive by contemporary audiences.

I’m an academic. I’m an Adult with a Degree. I have actually studied this book in particular twice in different units and under different teachers. I’ve also studied Victorian Gothic Literature as a genre in depth. This is the way I approach the novel, with that background. All of the metas that I’ve written so far for Dracula Daily have been in response to various confused or misled people I’ve seen in the tags. It’s actually been a really joy for me to be able to share this knowledge and find people who are equally excited to share and to learn.

And despite it all nonny, you’re welcome here too. That title isn’t just talk, all travellers are welcome here. But it’s my blog. It’s my house. You play by my rules.

You’re free to do whatever you want. Block me for all I care. Engage with Dracula however you like, it’s no skin off my nose. But next time you come into my house, check your attitude at the door.

We’re here to learn and analysis the text, not to cast blind and ignorant judgement.

I hope to see you around, but if not, happy travels! I wish you well.

[bleeding-star-heart]

Seriously, even if Dracula hadn’t saturated pop culture I would be suspicious. There are SO many hints about Renfield being connected to Dracula it’s crazy. 

[bleeding-star-heart]

I hope that this is not in poor taste, but we’ve come to the part where all the peasants start insisting “please no, please Mr. Harker don’t go to Dracula’s castle”.  Which begs the question? They all know, or suspect, that the Count is a vampire-which is bad in this setting. And yet none of them have attempted to kill him.  Did they try to kill him before, only to fail? Have they simply resigned themselves to their fate, a la learned helplessness, but are reluctant to let an innocent outsider be killed? What is the reason for their lack of doing anything about Dracula?  Why do these peasants allow a monster that terrorizes them so to exist among them? And why don’t they take more drastic measures to stop Mr. Harker from something he could die from? Does Dracula have a sort of secret police or something that prevents active resistance?  Seriously, why has no one tried to, say, torch the castle? Or, maybe stab Dracula during the daytime? They might not have the money to pay someone to kill him, and the church/authorities might not believe them- Well, actually, the church bit raises a whole different thing, but that’s besides the point. 

[bleeding-star-heart]

I’m sorry, but Jonathan Harker’s descriptions of the Eastern European peasants around him are not exactly endearing him to me, okay?  Putting aside the unironic use of the word “Oriental”, he constantly describes them through a slanted, biased, and very prejudiced way and that is not an appealing character trait. 

[bleeding-star-heart]

I mean, seriously. Even accounting for the time period, Dr. Seward does NOT come off as a competent doctor. While he doesn’t appear to be INTENTIONALLY abusive towards the patients, he doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing, either.  Which is a rather irritating trait. I mean, for context, the patient Renfield keeps pet flies, which Seward naturally asks him to get rid of, which he partially does, and replaces with spiders. This time, Seward asks Renfield to get rid of the spiders, which is natural. But then,the guy WATCHES his patient EAT A FLY and thinks “hmm, I better watch how he gets rid of the spiders”.  Which is laughably stupid. You’ve LITERALLY witnessed him eating VERMIN, and your next step is just careful observation? At the very least, you need to sit down and have a talk with the guy! Ask why Renfield did that, address the fact that such behavior is unhealthy, maybe make a plan to curb this behavior in the future!  All in all, Seward comes off less like a mental health professional and more like a tourist observing a zoo. Only the zoo is filled with mentally ill people.  Granted, actual mental health professionals don’t exist in this time period, but still. Incompetence is not an endearing character trait.  TLDR, while not a malicious person per se, Seward’s not exactly good at his job. Or at least, doesn’t appear to be.
