still stuck on dennis whitaker being played by the guy who played vlad dracula. true to casting that man is ageless bc he still looks like a teenager despite ostensibly being 34.

Young Dracula as Tumblr Text Posts~

I dunno what number this is or if I was ever really keeping count tbh

On another rewatch of yd (for editing purposes mainly) and I forgot how sassy Vlad was. The sarcastic one-liners. The eye rolls. The pointed looks. I love how he's like the average teen with slightly deranged parents

[zipstick]

this show is so good

girlhood is thinking about young dracula a bit too hard when you're out of academia for the first time in your life and starting to write an essay on ingrid because you don't know what else to do

We know Vlad did do PE (timetable) which makes me wonder if his school did it outside how he got oit of it.

We did see Garside had a school gym and we dont see much of the grounds but i feel its safe to assume that not all PE lessons would have been inside.

Im curious if Vlad claimed some medical reason - medications/sun allergy - or if he mysteriously managed to find a way to skip every outdoor session. I could also see him happily hypnotising the teacher to get out of it.

I feel bad for Vlad who used to love rugby suddenly being stuck unable to participate whenever it was putside PE lesson

me every time i feel sad/am having a bit of a bad week for my health problems: hmmm should i rewatch young dracula?

the pitt fans, i am so sorry for entering your fandom & tag but with seeing good people becoming attached to dennis whittaker played by the fantastic gerran howell, i need to spread the good word about young dracula. 🧛🏻‍♂️ 🧛🏻‍♀️ 🧛🏻

@michaun i am so grateful to you, you made the majority of gifsets i am talking about. another message i need to spread this person is a fantastic gifmaker & is the reason i found this masterpiece of a series because you see, sometimes i see such beautiful gifsets i am tempted to watch a series/film. the pitt is a medical drama & whilst i have a fondness for them, i have been burned before with them turning out to do horrific things to the characters but the gifsets i saw looked so great that i thought i would give it a watch & i am so happy that i did because it is one of the best medical dramas i have seen but also because gerran howell was in the series of my childhood: young dracula:

basically this was a bbc children's-teen series that ran for five seasons (there was a several year gap between seasons 2-3) about count dracula, his two kids and renfield being chased out of transylvania & setting up in a castle in a small british town. this is a show aimed for kids & this is the best modern interpretation of count dracula i have ever seen, dracula is my second favourite book of all time & i studied dracula & it's adaptations for my degree & this is honestly one of the most inventive, intelligent & unique ways i have seen a classic piece of literature adapted, this is my sherlock. keith lee castle is the most fantastic version of count dracula, if it was not for the fact that this isn't an exact adaptation of the novel, he would be my favourite version of the character, when i read dracula he is the guy i picture, he keeps the old fashioned nature of dracula, has the best wigs in series 3-5 & in the modern world comes off as the most unhinged goth single father of two. honestly this is the only time i have ever seen a good modern dracula & it's in a mostly unserious kids series.

on a personal (somewhat embarrassing note) this series was everything to me, it means so much to me still, i was obsessed with every inch of this show as a teen & it made me the goth lesbian i am today, dracula's daughter, ingrid dracula is 😍 she is everything, she is one of my favourite characters of all time, my fashion as a teenager & even sometimes now as an adult was inspired by the mesmerising ingrid, this version of count dracula & the wild, wild experience that is the character of malik vaccaria.

ONTO THE MAN HIMSELF: vlad is count dracula's youngest kid, is ✨special✨ & a “chosen one” but he's not like that sort of “chosen one” character who can do everything super super perfect & is one-dimensional, he's actually quite inept for awhile, he’s a hero, he’s an antagonist, an anti-hero & is being dragged towards his destiny kicking & screaming. he hates being a vampire, preferring bright colours, being a normal kid & wants humans as friends, not food. in series 1-2 the shenanigans he gets into with his best friend robin (a normal human who is a hardcore goth & actively wants to be a vampire) to try & get out of becoming a full vampire because the vampire lore in this series is that born vampires don't get their full powers until they're sixteen, is absolutely hilarious. in series 3-5 his character is older & gets even better, he's dark, he's fun, he's trying to change the very nature of vampires & it's an absolute blast watching him try to avoid being a dracula like vampire.

nearly every character from the dracula novel gets adapted in some shape or form & they do it in such an intelligent way & for a series aimed for kids-young teens it's actually incredibly dark especially in the last three seasons but it's still so funny, so camp & takes so many strange & unexpected twists & turns, i haven't even scratched the surface of the amount of characters, plot & chicanery in this series. honestly if you like dracula & have become attached to gerran howell via the pitt, go looking for young dracula, it's all on youtube, you will not regret it, i promise.

Thinking about the fact that Ingrid has two younger half brothers, one maternal and one paternal, both of which were passed off as her full brother when they were babies (Barry/Wolfie for only a few days, Vlad for years), both of which are given a name at birth that they don't use/go by (Wolfie was called Vlad for awhile, then named Barry, then called "Wolfie", while Vlad was named Adam by his mum and renamed Vladimir by his father) and both of which she is very loud about disliking and are at various points rivals displacing her as the Dracula heir but when it comes down to it she cares about them greatly and is pretty protective. And both are half vampires, Wolfie being half vampire half werewolf while Vlad is half human.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this it's just intresting. Like when they were writing the show I don't think they had the ending planned at all, or the Vlad is half human twist, so you can't really call all the things he has in common with Wolfie delibrate forshadowing but in hindsight it's really intresting. Especally the counts willingness to surplant Vlad with the new baby because at the time he beleived that his beloved Magda had finally given him a son, as apose to Adam/Vlad who wasn't Magda's and only half vampire making him actually quite a dangerous bet as an heir. And Ingrid imerging as the true Dracula heir in a lot of ways despite being a girl actually makes a lot of sense because she is actually the count and Magda's only biological child (while not legitimate since they weren't married, they are basically common law married and act as if they are a devorced couple so Ingrid is as legitimate as the count is gonna get) and also out of the three Dracula children (counting Wolfie in this group as he was claimed as a Dracula at birth and then the count technically raised him for a bit) she is the only full vampire non-hybrid.

Also the fact that Vlad and Ingrid's sibling dynamic is super important to the show and that they both end up with younger maternal half siblings that they do care about a lot but the primary sibling relationship seems to remain Vlad and Ingrid because of their expirences growing up together... it just feels important. Like they both having younger half siblings is something they have in common despite it being completely different siblings. (makes me kinda sad we never got a scene of George and Wolfie interacting and maybe teaming up to help Ingrid and Vlad somehow).
