Book quotes that sticked with me

Omg Dracula hiiiiii

BABY GIRL

some art for Hammer's Dracula because I adore Cushing's Van Helsing and these two are the neatest of pairs

Drac and helsing so far. Not sure about Dracula rn

thinking about Van Helsing today,,, he’s the one with the knowledge of what’s happening, but in today’s entry, he is grateful to find he is still sane. He’s the driving force to rid them of vampires, but here, he was utterly terrified of them. He’s such a good character. So absolutely unwavering in conviction, and yet every bit as emotional, vulnerable, and afraid as the rest of the cast.

Thinking about Lanyon and Jekyll arguing over the latter's unscientific balderdash theories of splitting man's nature, and Jekyll slyly sneering, "I don't think the philosopher and metaphysician Abraham Van Helsing, M. D., D. Ph., D. Lit., etc., etc., one of the most advanced scientists of his day, would be too pleased to hear you disagree with me, Lanyon! Do you mean to tell me you think you are better than the great Van Helsing?", and Lanyon turning purple and huffing, "Yes, Jekyll, I do! Haven't you ever heard the man go on about immortal parrots and Indian fakirs? What poppycock! 'Absolutely open mind' my arse, his fell right out of his absolutely open head."

The pub where Seward and van Helsing ate, Jack Straw's Castle, was one of London's best known gay pick-up spots until it closed in 2002. I can't find if it had that reputation going back to Victorian times though.

something I made when I was reading Dracula daily. Bram Stoker is actually a comedic genius.

This scene is from the 13th of September (Dr. Seward's diary)

seward dutifully recording every second of himself getting roasted by van helsing sure is something. like he didn't need to do that. that's his own diary. he could've been shorter about it. left it out even. but this old man shows up and seward goes "the professor took me by the ear like a schoolboy and humiliated me today" like it's homework. the funniest thing abt it is that he seems to be actively enjoying every interaction he has with the prof

no see i think we're onto something here

As if I needed another reason to yassify this old man

(Description in ALT)

vampires better watch the fuck out. my jacked grandfather is going to beat you to death.

Have a WiP that I don’t care to finish ♡
