I'm Always Shocked When Lucy Says That Mina And Seward Would Make A Good Couple If It Wasn't For Jonathan

my favourite thing about 'Dracula' is how Mina Harker is the cleverest strongest icon out there: girly can write shorthand, learn train timetables by heart, keep a diary daily (my procrastinating arse could never), retype and organise a ton of written information AND a literal audio diary in like a day (????), and deduct the randomest niche stuff like it's nothing?? QUEEN behaviour period. Which is why, while I definitely love the cinematography and the cast in the 1992 film adaptation, the plot absolutely pissed me off. Of course the og misogyny in the novel was very unnerving and impossible to ignore (for me personally) but I bet even Mr Stoker himself would have had a stroke if he'd seen the way they reduced Mina's character to a mindless girl obsessing over the count. Tbh some ooc fanfiction I've read had more 'in character' figures than whatever the hell happened to Mina. Which is fine as an artistic interpretation of the og material I guess but explicitly calling the film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'-- the audacity lol. The vibes were on point though very reminiscent of the book

Dracula season started again so enjoy this little thing in which I accidentally gave Jonathan a bit of a mullet

in the end all you have is yourself, your comfort fictional characters and archive of our own

At the end of this month we'll be rescheduling all the Re: Dracula episodes for re-release on their dates! If you're part way through your Dracula listen now would be a good time to finish OR just wait and rejoin the fun in May.

At the same time, we'll be moving the Re: Carmilla episodes to their own rss feed! These won't be re-released on any schedule, just moved over. If you're part way through your Carmilla listen, don't fret, you won't have to wait.

If Mina Murray has 1,000,000,000 fans i am one of them.

If Mina Murray has 100,000 fans i am one of them.

If Mina Murray has 1,000 fans i am one of them.

If Mina Murray has 100 fans i am one of them.

If Mina Murray has 1 fan then that's me

if Mina Murray has no fans that means I am no longer with you, though i shall go into that unknown and terrible land alone, recruited to ghastly ranks so I remain Mina Murray's one fan.

Just started reading Dracula and I gotta say I'm really enjoying the letters from Lucy. A little break from the horror to enjoy a gossip session is just what I need right now.

I sure do hope nothing bad happens to her.

I wish jonathan harker a very pleasant and normal business trip

Mina, my beloved, is back!

Mina, clever, brave, extraordinary Mina. Tech obsessed Mina. Record keeper Mina. Demands to be part of it all, not left to the side to be rescued Mina. Unholiest love Mina, adored by all but especially Jonathan. Devoted best friend even beyond death. Train fiend Mina. Absolutely prepared to work if her husband can never recover and support him despite living in an era when women just did not do that. Mina, who has the courage and strength of will not only to tell Dracula to fuck off but fucking use the psychic connection he established to hunt him. Mina who never NEVER had any mind of secret love forbidden romance thing with the Count.
