DHMIS Theories let's GOOOO

Yellow Guy: David. Roy and Leslie's kid. Killed in a car accident when Leslie was behind the wheel. Died around age 10 but it's been years since then, making him technically 38 now. He mentally fluctuates between the two ages.

Duck: David's beloved pet bird. Very old, gifted to david after his previous owner's death. May or may not be the reason that David is dead in the first place. Unkempt, mean, and a generally awful pet. He was hated by Leslie in particular and possibly Roy, but David loved him so much that the two are inseparable, even in a nightmarish abstraction, removed from memory.

Red Guy: Collaborator on Roy and Leslie's show. Never met David in the flesh, but knew about him and could tell how his memory colored the couple's imagination. Was initially devoted to honoring David's memory, until things started going downhill and he realized that the couple's feelings towards David and towards each other were darker than he could have anticipated.

Webseries is primarily about Red Guy and the allegorical fate of the show. Most of the commentary is about the state of media, its often conflicting agendas, and how it is colored by the personal lives of artists.

The TV show gets more personal, and goes a layer deeper. By focusing David and his mother, it displays a family crumbling in the face of tragedy, and the paralyzing nature of grief.

IDK what my funeral will be like and honestly don't care, but I DO know that no matter what my loved ones are going to be packed elbow to elbow together eating delicious ham sandwiches and shitty dry cake two rooms away from my corpse, as the founding fathers intended.

One thing I love about the book and hate about the adaptations is that little Quincey was born an entire year after Dracula's death, SPECIFICALLY ruling out ANY possibility that he was Dracula's child because this book deserves an unreservedly happy ending dammit. AND YET so many adaptations just completely ignore this despite Bram's best efforts smh my head.
