People actually like my Dracula AU?? What??

Have a silly doodle I made :) vampire Jonathan doesn’t believe in gravity

He’d probably somehow sneak into Mina’s house after learning she followed Dracula back to Transylvania. Absolutely no warning… he just appears™️

Jonathan and Mina huddle when Jonathan was telling Mina that being unclean is nonesense and holding her closer

I am hoping this is the moment you meant because damn it hurts

I’m slowly collecting Jonathan’s various states of hair like Pokemon

big day today

IT'S DRACULA SEASON

HERE WE GO, GIRLS! The feeling of déjà vu will be constant, but it will always feel like the first time. May it be a smooth journey for our good friend Jonathan Harker and may he be able to jot down as many recipes and interesting facts about his stay as possible to finally share with his beloved fiancée, Mina Murray.

We have been waiting for this moment for a long time and I am so excited!

I've been wondering since the 6th how Dracula took over practically my entire year and I'm still wandering around waiting for something to happen, but then I remember that next year is about to start and HE'S COMING BACK SOON! It's almost comical this whole situation

Dracula daily is over.

What am I supposed to do with my life now??

This is a Gothic Romance - October 11, Dracula

"I believe that neither I nor anyone else in this world could describe the strange scene that followed - solemn, somber, melancholy, terrible, and yet tender." -- this is how Seward tries to show us the affectionate passion of the Harkers

After everyone makes the promise to Mina about her death, Jonathan asks her:

"Must I also make that promise, my wife?" Mina answers him (this part brings tears to my eyes every time I read it) "You too, my love. And you must not hesitate. You are the one I love most, you are my world. Our souls are united forever and ever, for eternity. Remember, my love, the brave men who in times past killed their wives so that they would not fall into enemy hands. Their hands remained steady, for the women themselves begged to be killed. It is a man's duty, in turbulent times, to those he loves! And, my love, if I must be killed, may it be by the hands of the one who loves me most. (…) If that time comes, I count on Mr. "Van Helsing" to ensure that my husband will keep for the rest of his life the happy memory of having been the one to free me from this terrible curse."

The climax of the scene is when he asks Jonathan to recite the Office of the Dead as a way of keeping his beloved's voice in his memory:

"I would like you to do this for me, my love, because I will carry with me forever the memory of your voice, no matter what happens!"

October 3rd

"As for me, I have already made up my mind. If Mina becomes a vampire, I will not let her enter this unknown and terrible universe alone. I suppose that in ancient times, vampires multiplied in this way: so that their hateful bodies could rest only on holy ground, the holiest love must have recruited many soldiers for its armies."

Could Jonathan be the first potential literary character for the "I would die for her" topic? I swear I have no idea of ​​any classics older than "Dracula" that had a character in his full consciousness take such an action as Harker did for Mina.

Press play DJ, it's Saturday night and it's time to play the JonMina playlist!

Every wedding anniversary deserves good music and I was ARDENTLY waiting for this moment

❗️STOP PAIRING MINA W/ DRACULA❗️

My girl does NOT deserve that 🙄

He is nasty 🤢 and gross 🤮

Meanwhile Jonathan and Lucy 😍 love her 😆

Mina clearly 😡 HATES 😡 Dracula 🧛🏽‍♂️ and the only sympathy she has for him 😔😢 is ❗️UNEARNED ❗️ because Mina is so kind 😊

They hardly interact 🤔 and when Mina DOES meet him 🤝🏽 she INSULTS him ❗️❗️❗️❗️

Dear Dracula Adaptations,

Me and @starlitartworks discussed this, and we both agree: In a universe where Dracula is meant to look like this-

Jonathan Harker is allowed to be sexy. It is possible to be devastatingly attractive and a total nerd at the same time. Stop making Dracula sexier than Jonathan so she'll choose the monster who assaulted her instead of the guy who adores her more than life itself. Give Jonathan the good looks instead.

I know it's early and that our good friend Jonathan Harker has already arrived in Bistrita, but does anyone have a JonMina playlist? I want to be prepared for when our couple meets again :)

Dracula Returns

I don't know if you've heard the latest news, but it looks like Dracula is going to return to cinema screens, I just saw on my phone that it will be produced by Luc Besson in partnership with Christoph Waltz. I'm shaking, anxious and afraid of repeating the same rereading from 92, I understand those who like the material, but I really wanted a version closer to what is actually covered in the book. My couple JonMina as an ardent couple that they are, Renfield without stereotypes, Lucy without the tremendous sexualization, Dracula as manipulative and megavillain and without romanticizing him as if he were innocent of something, Van Helsing without his caricatured and even exaggerated format, etc.

and honestly, on all sites it only shows the version of a Dracula wanting to find his wife lost in eternity, please show us the story as it truly is! Why distance yourself so much?!

Above all, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope it is at least a good adaptation.
