There will be a Dracula Daily update today!

[vampni]

It‘s been some time since I got world changing news via Destiel. The universe got a bit more aligned again.

Also lol that was fast.

NEW POPE

now say it with me: authors/artists dont owe you moral purity. an author/artist job is not to hold you by the hand & tell you exactly what is Good™ & what is Bad™. you should be able to think for yourself

okay versuchen wir zum spaß mal, tumblr-Ausdrücke auf deutsch zu übersetzen

[character] my love - [Charakter] meine Liebe 3/10 klingt so falsch

my beloved - mein*e Geliebte*r 0/10 jetzt ist das auf einmal gegendert

Blorbo - Blorbo 10/10 das funktioniert auch auf Deutsch

the devil's sacrament - das Teufelssakrament 8/10 ist okay

Jonathan Harker’s journal, 7 May

Dear Diary,

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I thought I’d have time but underestimated how much of a yapper my client is.

He would‘ve loved Crowley and Moriarty and the Master.

I think 12 would‘ve been his favorite Doctor?

Do you think he‘d like John for his Britishness? Probably. Though personally I think Mycroft is a lot more British.

Man RIP Count Dracula. He would have loved the SuperWhoLock fandom.

Good to know it‘s different in English! Now i know to be more careful when a recipe calls for „pepper“ 😄🩵

Did Paprika Hendl today. Was good. Will make detailed post later. Now sleepies. Night.

Soooo I looked it up and seems like I got the wrong translation? In German it’s all Paprika. Paprika the vegetable. Paprika Pulver (powder) the dried ground up vegetable. All is Paprika. Red, green, yellow. Paprika. Hearing that it’s called pepper in English is weird. Pepper is the black stuff. You have it in a shaker next to salt.

🫑 <- Paprika

Seems like we both learned something today ^^

Prev despises OCs. Firmly of the opinion that you don’t need to add people to canon. Would never consider writing a book about OCs.

New REBLOG Game

Just fucking lie about the previous poster

[vampni]

it's so brief one might miss it, but - jonathan talking about "taking pictures with his kodak" is. SO endearing. (also one of the first delightful instances of the whole "modern technologies vs old traditions" theme woven throughout the book.)

but he's a kodak guy! i don't think he packed it for his trip, but it's a shame, because he could've made so many snapshots for mina! doubly so a shame because bram thus elegantly avoided the "do vampires show up on film" debate.

[vampni]

Did detailed post about Paprika Hendl. It’s in the reblogs of the other post if someone is curious.

An annotation in my copy of Dracula makes an interesting point today about the Count learning English from listening to Jonathan:

While it's entirely possible that Jonathan learned received pronunciation at school and so has no regional accent in his speaking, it's also possible that he has a Devon accent instead of a London one, and Dracula just doesn't know the difference because how could he?

The annotations also note that "Carfax" actually derives from quadrifucus, meaning quarter-forked, or at a crossroads.

dracula lying on the couch flipping through tourist guides to england is so funny. every dracula adaptation should include that scene
