Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. Jonathan Harker

I wanted to do this for yesterday but ended up focusing on uni work instead so I did it today.

Renfield's unexpected knife attack on Jack on the very day that Dracula would want to get rid of the asylum doctor he knows could save Lucy's life once more is a clue that Dracula forced or directed Renfield to act this way. Renfield had said before that he'd never hurt Jack, and he never did, nor does it again.

“Who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul!
You really think you're in control?
I think you're crazy!
I think you're crazy,
I think you're crazy…
Just like me”

the dark is too hard to beat.
And I’m not keeping now
the strength I need to push me”
Dracula Aesthetics - R.M. Renfield
Got myself an edition of Dracula I've wanted for a long time - the one illustrated by Becky Cloonan - so here are some of my favourite illustrations (in phone camera quality, with the kitchen tablecloth in the background, sorry):
Jonathan's first illustration, the Weird Sisters, GET SHOVEL'D IDIOT
The Captain (you've probably seen this one before)
Basically every illustration featuring Renfield, they're so great. Good for him
Mina Harker, everybody (and YES she gets her canonical gun)
Our dear girls
The "get a job! stay away from her!" illustrations
LUCY
Jack being a brooding emo prince (again, good for him)...
...and, in particular, this little illustration of his first meeting with Mina. My favourite 19th century tech nerds.
The best couple in Gothic literature according to me:
Quincey looking almost exactly like his dark twin (Ethan Chandler in Penny Dreadful)
The 'Avengers assemble" one
(that's far from every illustration in the book, I simply didn't take pictures of every single one)

One of the things that really fascinate me about Seward is his lack of empathy.
This reminds me of something spoilery
