"Doctor, you don’t know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don’t; you couldn’t with eyebrows like yours.” He seemed pleased, and laughed as he said:— “So! You are physiognomist."

Not for the first time, I'm thinking about the physiognomy in Dracula, and how many readers the first time through Dracula Daily seemed to think it was a bizarre old-fashioned and outdated philosophy. Like... are y'all really going to claim you've never seen anyone in our modern generation ascribe moral significance to the shape of someone's face? Because I straight-up do not believe you.

#dracula daily #see the KKK members are ugly. because they're morally unsound. bad people aren't pretty; and pretty people aren't bad.#if your face is a different shape from the protagonist's than that indicates that you are a Moral Degenerate. which is bad.#y'all have never seen 'chinless' applied as an insult to someone's character?#you've never seen the size of someone's ass or dick treated as shorthand for their personal desirability or virility?#you've never seen anyone claim they could tell someone else was unpleasant because of the way their eyes or eyebrows or mouth was shaped?
