i'm on that dracula daily train lmao. here's a song about it

I think we're definitely getting to the point with Dracula daily where some (most) people need to be reminded it is a historical novel, and is going to have prejudices in it. that doesn't meant dont read it, its important to read these classic stories that have been so warped by time and pop culture! it just means you should be keeping an eye out for the biases that are present, be critical of what you're reading, make note of what stereotypes the text is applying to minority groups and how that might affect them

my exact thought, just worded better ^^

i would have simply not gone to draculas house. easy

I would, I have zero self preservation instincts and love paprika chicken

thankful to Dracula Daily for teaching me that this Hark a Vagrant comic is literally exactly what happens in the book

tumblr did not undersell how funny it is to read dracula as a modern reader. jonathan's all like "why would i need a crucifix when going to visit The Castle of Count Dracula. i'm not even catholic"

I thought it was like a modern take on the book but no yall are just collectively reading actual Dracula and liveblogging it like Jonathan Harker is an influencer or some shit. Never change

Everyone please mark May 24th down on your calendars as the date that tumblr will collectively encounter Quincey P. Morris.

Everyone all ‘smh why did Jonathan Harker go to the castle when everyone was making a hubbub about all the evil lurking nearby,’ well maybe he thought he was in Beauty and the Beast and not a horror story!  Did you think of that!!

Everyone’s a monsterfucker and a “omg I want to marry Mothman I don’t care if he’s rumored as an omen of disaster” until there’s a village weepingly giving you their crucifixes and now it’s a “red flag”

#since when do we believe Catholics about what’s evil

op please do not leave this gem hidden in the tags

they’re orthodox you uncultured swine

Jonathan describes the old woman putting “the rosary around [his] neck” and Orthodox Christians don’t use rosaries (though we do wear crucifixes), so this one is either on the Catholics, or on Jonathan Harker’s ignorance of religious paraphernalia.
