I love how quickly Mina switches up, like one moment girlys hypnotized and doing or saying some unsettling shit and then right after act like nothing ever happend.

lol Dracula’s scared of Mina
shout out to everyone who was a lil too invested in English class and now has to live with their Classical Blorbo that no one has stanned in a century
tag this with your first Classical Blorbo from class that you had to try and be really normal about during discussions, mine was Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities
Mina: “Unclean! Unclean! Even the Almighty rejects me! I am bound for Hell!”
Jonathan: “Mina, sweetie. Tell me what I need to pack.”
Mina: *so confused she stops crying* “What?”
Jonathan: “I’m going with you.”
Van Helsing: “NO ONE IS GOING TO HELL!”
Husband and wife
Run for your life
She knows the trains
He has a knife
"All the time I had been breathlessly watching Jonathan"
you need some water queen?
Mina: I think I'm getting thirsty.
Van Helsing: Oh no! Madam Mina, do you feel yourself being tempted by bloodlust?
Mina, watching Jonathan do All of That 👀: Hold the blood

Their son, who they named Quincey, was born on the same day Quincey Morris died 😭😭😭😭
People in Hollywood are cowards because you could totally do a book accurate Dracula movie and it really wouldn’t be that hard.
Johnathan is just vloging his trip to Draculas castle but the castle doesn’t have any service or wifi so he can’t post anything or send it.
Lucy and Mina’s letters are now text messages or voice memos that are super long.
Dr. Steward voice dairy is wouldn’t have to be changed or it could be changed to him filming himself talking. Or even recorded sessions of him and Renfield
The newspaper clippings could become morning news stories.
All the diary entries are now them just filming themselves talking about what happened in like a video diary format.
It would be so easy! Can you see the vision?

my (probably inaccurate lol) depiction of Lucy Westenra ❤️❤️❤️ she is so sick victorian lady. Did anyone else find Dracula (the book) incredibly funny? it’s so out of pocket

Made this with much consideration (worked off vibes)
Mina is Dracula's archnemesis in so many ways, but the most obvious ones are
Mina was Dracula's very first adversary in England
Mina is personally hurt by him over the same man and the same woman
Dracula claims Jonathan. Mina promptly marries Jonathan
Mina is the only one that Dracula openly attacks with personal malice, in the most intimate ways
A single, glaring scar on the same place for both Mina and Dracula
Only these two share the same blood
Both are strategists, commanders of men
Psychic link exists only between them
KIN OF MY KIN
Van Helsing hasn't even personally confronted the guy come on now

Goth girls love trains

So it turns out that
a queer reading of Bram Stoker’s Dracula
is literally just reading
Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
I'm curious, people who are reading Dracula Daily, but haven't read it before and have managed to avoid spoilers, what are your predictions?
I am convinced that Dracula has long distance telepathy, though some aspects of my theory don't really work. I've never read the book so please don't comment either way if you know the story. Here's my thinking. It stands to reason that Jonathan told Dracula all about Mina and absolutely convinced Drac that Mina is the best woman in England (and the world as far as Jon's concerned). Dracula is not immune to such advertising and send his telepathic mind tentacles out to find her. Here's where my theory gets shaky. Why did he start playing with (his food) Lucy first? Was she sitting near Mina and his mind-tentacle bumped into her first? And then there's Renfield. I suspect Renfield was always ND. But the eat-living-creatures thing must be a Drac influence. Drac setting up a little helper for when he arrives. Or just playing with his food again, who knows. But I doubt Jon has ever heard of Renfield? Unless he mentioned Seward and the mental hospital and that intrigued Drac. Maybe he was looking for Seward and his tentacle bumped Ren instead. Imagine Dracula having, like, imprecise aim! Seward would be a much more useful helper, after all, as a respectable medical man. Think of the access to helpless food Seward could provide. Come to think of it, if Drac has long distance telepathy he'd have close proximity telepathy too. Maybe he plucked Lucy out of Jon's brain. Maybe out of his dreams. Maybe Drac just liked her looks; everyone seems to. But that still doesn't explain him going after Renfield. Unless Jon met Renfield once, somehow? Could have been in passing, before Ren went to Seward's hospital. Maybe Ren acted memorably enough for Jon to have dreamt of him, and put him on Dracula's radar? Anyone new to this novel have thoughts about it?
