horror of dracula 1958 // girlfriend by avril lavigne

Arthur: Lucy is a member of the cursed undead so it’s my duty and honor to kill her to release her soul. Jonathan: If Mina goes I’m going too; out of my fucking way.

I am currently absolutely losing it listen.

I took out from the library the Spanish translation of Dracula, because what better thing to do after reading Dracula than reread it in my language. I flipped to today's note, because curious. And then I got to the Holmward line, and I died.

The OG: "[...] which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married."

The more natural (in Stoker's heterosexual meaning) translation: "...que ahora podemos rememorar sin desesperación, porque tanto Godalming como Seward están felizmente casados." (Empathizes each one, separately, are happily married.)

The absolute Gigachad of a translation I read: "...que ahora podemos rememorar sin desesperación, porque Godalming y Seward se han casado, y son felices." (Literally just. Art and Seward got married and are happy. There is literally no way to read this heterosexually unless you have the world's thickest Straight glasses.)

Anyway I hope translator Francisco Torres Oliver has all the bitches he wants of any gender he likes them.

many horrors in today's entry but this is the only image filling my brain right now

Dracula: November 4

Lord Godalming Ever Givens the steam boat

Arthur Holmwood + one of his dogs!

Why was he so hard to draw?

Quincey’s out here reminding Arthur that the locals probably take the subway or the bus, not their personal fleet of Lamborghinis, when trying to thwart an undead monster

November 4th

“I took Arthur by the arm, and led him away to the drawing-room, where he sat down, and covered his face with his hands, sobbing in a way that nearly broke me down to see.”

Me:

I can’t see Lucy and Art as anything else but Victorian Connecticut Clark and Malfina.
