Draculas Wives - Tumblr Posts

No memes of gentle breasts that are sad? I expect more from you Tumblr.

And now I want a story about what the three ladies of Castle Dracula do with their eternal lives after Dracula leaves.

Remember when Dracula was a goofy old man who gave Jonathan an air kiss goodbye and did lizard fashion, and now he’s this faceless, eldritch horror that acts as some metaphor for the impending march of death, an illness brought in by a ship like the bubonic plague? Remember when he had three roommates he just ditched, what are they up to now???

Why did Dracula force Mina to drink his (her? Lucy's? Other victims? Whose blood runs in Dracula's body??) blood?

This seems like an easy question to answer based on lots of other vampire stories: to make her a vampire. But Van Helsing said that all she needed to do was die after Dracula fed on her, right?

Which has always sat wrong for me. By that logic, every baby the weird sisters killed would become a vampire. The sailors from the crew of the Demeter would wake up underwater and make their way to land (an image I find delightfully creepy, tbh). So Van Helsing must be wrong.

But did Dracula make Lucy drink his blood?

I guess we can't know for sure, but I don't recall anyone ever saying she had blood on her mouth.

So if it's not an action required to make a vampire, why did he make Mina do it? Just to be gross?

I hope this gets cleared up; I hate unanswered questions.
