Can I feel more love for this book? I didn't want to make a thousand posts, so summing it up again in one
Favourite things to-day:
Jonathan
- "Jonathan Harker's Journal" 🥰 I thought we'd never see it again
- "It seems to have made a new man of me. It was the doubt as to the reality of the whole thing that knocked me over." This made me so happy to read, I've been Worried™
- And just like that he's Back, calm and happy and oh so brave <3 as we know him. I missed him so much
- Van Helsing loves him too, I can tell.
- Our good friend just standing there all smiley-faced and proud, listening as VH praises our beloved mina 🥰
Dr Seward
- Seward coming back to his Officially Over-diary like "well. what do you know". Finis not so finis, it seems, who'd have thought. I cackled. Either I love his sense of humour or he makes me laugh just by being himself
- Renfield "well ahead with his fly business". Good for him.
- Quincey and Arthur having a sleepover <3 wholesome. (Though Jack, please, why didn't you invite yourself there. You are part of the pack boy, let the bubbling well of good spirits bear you up too)
- The combination of "Let me be your pet student again" and "Ah, you are my favourite pupil still." Sure love a perfectly balanced student-teacher relationship in my horror novel.
- Jack going all Poetic Mode™ (as he does) and VH patiently listening until he's aaall the way finished, and then dryly replying "That is a good image." Lmfao, glad he's appreciating him as much as I am
- The whole conversation that led up to VH setting jack up by asking: so you think lucy and the kids were attacked by the same thing? And Jack seamingly coming to the conclusion VH was steering at, bc VH gets up but then he calmly goes: "then you are wrong."
- And Seward going 'For Fuck's Sake professor!!' Teary-eyed in frustration, I assume. 'Please for once in your life get to the point professor!!'
