BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992)

dir. francis ford coppola

[loveforaninstant]

youve heard "richter is raised by alucard" now get ready for "richter is raised by Goddamn Dracula"

how does this happen? children who are blinded by grief and terrified out of their minds mix up boats pretty easily. boarding a boat to england that's full of traveling vampires is not part of richter's plan. neither is finding out his magic is gone at the worst possible time. and the vampires think the idea of turning a belmont into a vampire is funny. so.

guess who finds the little belmont in a supernatural gathering place being gawked at by vampires, being forced to hold his whip as proof of his identity even as it burns his palms nearly to the bone.

guess who eradicates each and every one of them, bundles him up in his cloak, and whisks him away to safety.

(and guess who hears about the rumors of dracula appearing in london after THREE HUNDRED YEARS and goes speeding there IMMEDIATELY)

anyways. voila. an excerpt for yall.

He exhales softly, turning towards the crowd and slipping around the fringes of it. He does not bother withdrawing his hood; it might make things easier, yes, but it would also cause all these vampires to scatter at the sight of the most powerful among them restored to life, and he has no real desire to send them running before he gets a better idea of what’s happening. It doesn’t look particularly strange, even if it’s a tad more crowded than usual. There’s a cage at the back of the stall, rusty and battered, no doubt containing some type of exotic animal that European vampires plan to gawk at. A leering vampire leans over a barrier of chain, hitting it with a stick and cackling roughly at the thin, frightened mewling sound that comes from within. They’re torturing an animal, he realizes dully, and sighs. Hector would be furious, if he still lived. He had always been the gentlest of his allies, at least when it came to anyone other than human beings. His night creatures were honored, treated lovingly. His craft was sacred to him. So was Isaac’s. They were both good men, though he supposes someone like him calling anyone good only means that they’re a step up from the most monstrous of creatures. He should put a stop to it. Hector would. Adrian most certainly would. Vlad moves closer to the cage, unseen by the vampire doing his level best to rile up whatever animal is inside, to make it put on a show for the crowd— And freezes. That is not an animal. That is a little boy.

Ok, so in the original Bram Stoker novel, sunlight is not lethal to Dracula. He just loses most of his powers. I'm bringing this up cuz I want a horror comedy where the hero, sensing dawn, tears off the curtains as a last-ditch effort only to have the vampire go "Aw shit, there goes most of my fancy powers. Guess I'll have to beat your ass the old-fashioned way" then proceeds to just deck the hero cuz a vampire at half-strength is still a fucking vampire.

This little experiment of mine led me to an interesting thought - what if we really have some preserved paintings of Vlad the Impaler, but we just don't know that's him because he doesn't wear a moustache and the iconic hat? The picture with moustache and hat are from the propaganda pictures,so he probably wouldn't be pictured like that on portraits he commissioned himself - just like on his own seal... Clearly when he himself decided to be pictured, it was with a beard and a crown. Hm.

Also when I compared all the contemporary paintings of Vlad that we have, it makes me think that maybe they copied one from each other, because he's always pictured from exactly the same angle. I realised this when I tried to paint his face, because the face of the icon has a slightly different angle. I had to improvise a bit. So if you stopped and thought - that's not exactly the same face as on the known paintings - it tries to be, just the angle is different.

I am sad that there's no good contemporary depiction of Vlad III. Draculea with a beard, since he wore one, at least according to his own personal seal (surprising, right?!). But we only have images of him with the iconic moustache.

So I decided to make one myself :D

I used the style of mediaeval icons, inspired by the ones painted in Snagov Monastery, which is connected to Vlad III. As I am no master of this type of art, I used as a base the icon of st. Alexander Nevskij, since he's holding a sword. I also wanted to draw him with a crown, sice that is also on Vlad's seal.

For his face, I used the contemporary description of Vlad from an eye-witness, Niccolò Modrussa, who describes him with aquiline nose, green eyes, long, black curly hair and intimidating, bushy eyebrows. I also tried to imitate the shape of his face from the traditional depictions of Vlad, although these were probably made by people who might've never seen him (and they also depicted him as ugly as part of propaganda against him. It's funny how in the chronicles his enemies always describe him as ugly while his allies described him as beautiful :D).

I was surprised that none of these depictions paint the mentioned strong eyebrows, but then I found out that medieval paintings in general don't really focus on various shapes of eyebrows, they're always more or less the same, so my decision to paint them might be a little bit anachronistic :D

I hope no-one will be offended that I kept the hallo. It looks good aesthetically, and, to be honest, Vlad's cousin Stephen the Great was hallowed, and I feel that if Vlad's name hasn't been dragged through the mud by the horrible propaganda, he might've ended like that as well, as it seems he was quite loved by his people.

Enjoy!

And if you want to know more about the real Vlad III. Dracula, without the distortion of the sensational propaganda against him, I highly recommend the professional team Corpus Draculianum and their illustrious YouTube channel, where they talk about Vlad's fascinating life in engaging and enjoyable form:

The personal seal of Vlad III. Draculea depicting him with a beard and a crown, which I found thanks to Corpus Draculianum and which I used as a main inspiration:

I admit I changed the beard a bit to look more like the royal fashion, and, well, in a hardly preserved 500 year old wax seal there wasn't much room for details, so I took it with a grain of salt.

Vlad The Inhaler

[pinkmirth]

Hiiii! Hope you are well!

Hey I know you are Alucard's number 1 fan🥰 but I was wondering if you would consider writing something (maybe smutty🫣) for us girlies who prefer his daddy.

Sincerely, a Vlad girlie!!

as much as i adore adrian, i cant deny that he gets half of those looks from his father . . . dracula lovers surely deserve a treat too, so here’s a little handful of hcs for papa vlad >.<

protective to the very ends of the earth, is what he is. vlad’s doting to the point where it could come across as concern— but when you have the very king of the undead as your beloved, there isn’t much to fear.

with a man of his stature, over seven feet with the broadest shoulders, largest hands and coldest gaze, just know that the size kink is turned all the way on. though he has to crouch a bit lower to just kiss you, he’ll always make sure to meet you where you stand and shower you in his affection.

let’s give a reminder as to why the people call this man the ‘impaler,’ because he’s packing enough to pull at least five orgasms from you. vlad’s a good 220 cm tall, of course he’d have so much to offer you in bed. there, he takes things ever so slowly; interlacing his hands with yours, careful of his claws, while his other cold palm goes to press against your waist, pulling you into his imposing frame. firm muscle and cool flesh is what you feel when in his grasp. his thrusts are paced, thoughtful, and just enough to make you writhe and mewl beneath him. his goatee grazes your skin as he comes to plant a kiss to your forehead, his breathing heavy and rasped. vlad groans out his endearment, hips throttling forward to slam into yours. as you hold onto him for dear life, legs entangling behind his waist, he goes on to whisper how greatly he loves you.

Children of the night. What music they make!

The Nocturne discord I’m in pointed out how tall Alucard appears now so I rounded up screenshots of different vampires next to humans to show just how freakishly tall they are in comparison
