Mina Murray - Tumblr Posts
every year, i realize more and more how short a few months are.
what do you mean the "sea of wonders" quote is on day two?
i remember feeling like i was waiting ages for mina to show up and now she's here within a week?
perhaps i'm just more patient now, two years after we started, so i can be pleasantly surprised when things show up earlier than i was expecting. lol
hellooo, here’s my mandatory yearly halloween fic with all of our favourite goth little blorbos having fun! enjoy!
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Frankenstein - Mary Shelley Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Henry Clerval/Victor Frankenstein Characters: Victor Frankenstein, Henry Clerval, Lucy Westenra (Dracula), Tom Griffin (The Invisible Man), Elizabeth Lavenza, Justine Moritz, Mina Murray Harker, Dorian Gray, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow), Edward Hyde Additional Tags: Halloween, Halloween Costumes, halloween party, Ghost Hunters, Ghosts, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Creepy Fluff, Established Relationship, Alcohol, Recreational Drug Use, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, kissing in haunted places, victor is a coward, yes i'm obsessed with ryan and shane no need to call me out, no beta we die like every character here
Summary: Henry likes ghost hunting programs. Victor does not. Henry doesn't care if ghosts are real or not (he'll know when he's dead). Victor very much believes they are not. At all. So much so he's willing to go out on Halloween night to investigate a supposedly haunted asylum with all of the little ghoulish gadgets just to show Henry it's all bullshit.
Victor is stubborn. Henry is smart. Therefore, Henry only agrees to let himself be dragged into this if he can in turn drag Victor to the biggest Halloween party of the year afterwards.
Aberrations and monstrosities ensue!
I love Dracula because it really shows that the age old tradition of giving men random but identifying nicknames when you’re just talking shit with the girlies™️ dates all the way back the Victorian era
Neil Josten is a Jonathan Harker type narrator and this is a hill I will die on. They’re not unreliable narrators in any capacity because they are telling the story relatively how it is but they’re both absolute idiots who are focusing on the wrong details… that detail may or may not be a love interest
She knows nothing of pain. Not as I do.
So, is the guy with whom Lucy wishes she could set Mina up the owner of the same insane asylum as the one across the street from the castle Jonathan found for our friend the Count, or are there just a lot of insane asylums around in 1890s London?
Mina: man I hope my boyfriend’s alright
Jonathan:
How could Mina have known Lucy was already dead to begin with? How could she have known that Jonathan’s trip would have almost killed him? Right now she’s worried for her friend, as she always sweetly does, but there’s nothing she can do, because how could she have known she was in a horror novel?
Ignore Mina's crooked mouth, because I simply got the drawing wrong
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
"I am not a New Woman" Says Mina, unaware of how her "Strong Independent New Woman" energy scares away a literal living relic of the past.
AND AUGUST 24TH IS THE WEDDING
Okay so I have a THEORY that 24 must be Stoker's favorite number
May 24: Lucy gets THREE proposals (one from a Cowboy)
June 24: Jonathan has QUITE the evening, experiences three (3) whole emotions, gets mesmerized by moonbeams, contemplates murder, and finishes up by watching a woman get devoured by wolves
July 24th: the beginning of Hot Girl Summer and the introduction of MR SWALES
Aug 24th:.... I have no idea except that it's tomorrow and I vaguely expect wild shenanigans, ridiculous character introductions, and possible more Terrible Accents
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!”
Made this with much consideration (worked off vibes)
Now that I know mina LOVES train schedules I'm finding myself SO charmed by Jonathan making sure to note every detail of the train schedule of his trip
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
