You know, I didn't get an email from my new friend Jonathan Harker today! He's been emailing me every day of his trip so far. Do you think I should be worried? I wonder if something strange is going on in that castle...

Nah, I'm being silly, he's probably just busy with legal documents and so forth. I'm sure everything is fine.

Daily Dracula dracula daily jonathan harker count dracula bram stoker I'm writing ~in character~ but this was also basically my reaction when I didn't get an email today I genuinely don't know what's happening with Mr. Harker right now though‚ like despite knowing what Dracula is I have no foreknowledge of the plot itself and I am in fact wondering I love how this is making it like a Letter Larp‚ like we have given ourselves a role in this story‚ albeit that of observer unable to affec affect the plot in earnest. but we have a collective character now as the ones worrying at home for our friend also shoutout to Azrai; being their patron is where I learned what a Letter Larp is! and I am enjoying experiencing Dracula for the first time this way immensely :) lunch break posting look at me coming up with a post and putting it out on the same day in order to be current :) am blogging :)

Jonathan looking through Dracula's library, listing books he has: "and—it somehow gladdened my heart to see it—the Law List."

Jonathan, you're such a nerd. I love you.

So, is the guy with whom Lucy wishes she could set Mina up the owner of the same insane asylum as the one across the street from the castle Jonathan found for our friend the Count, or are there just a lot of insane asylums around in 1890s London?

dracula daily lucy westenra mina murray jonathan harker count dracula bram stoker if this is a spoiler then I'm not actually asking for answers but it just seemed like a funny coincidence to me I feel like this is going to come up again down the road but then again‚ it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that London really does just have an asylum on every block in this time period insane asylum tw ask to tag idk lunch break posting once again I should perhaps say 'were there' but it's present tense to the novel so I also used present tense since that's where we're hanging out as it were saying my thoughts as I think them whilst reading Dracula

Today on "tumblr ads that I wish were rebloggable":

A screenshot of an advertisement on a tumblr blog reading "walk and lose weight: Transylvania Virtual Challenge. Fun Exercising - Accountability - 372 KM of constant progress - Virtual Challenge." The background image depicts a classic gothic castle at night with trees wrapped in a spooky moonlit fog. Below the image, the text reads "Transylvania Virtual Challenge - Challenge yourself to lose weight with the stunning Transylvania medal Transylvania...". The ad is sponsored by The Conquerer Challenge Events. The ad is appearing on the blog of tumblr user rosebleue.

I'm not wildly fond of tumblr ads promoting weight loss all willy-nilly, but the theming of this one combined with the fact that I saw it on a blog that I first followed for Dracula Daily posting has me losing it. Lose weight how, pray tell, dear tumblr ad? Lose blood weight? Because someone's drinking it? Am I going to be running through Transylvania because there's a vampire chasing me?

funny dracula daily weight loss tw tumblr ads Transylvania walking challenge I don't mind the idea of a walking challenge but this idea that everybody needs to lose weight constantly is so dangerously pervasive but the implied context of “lose weight because vampires” is kind of hilarious image described in alt text sorry to the people of Transylvania that your country gets flattened to heehoo vampires but the spooky castle theming plus the theme of the blog that I saw this on made thinking about vampires unavoidable for me vampires rosebleue sorry Rose (can I call you Rose?) I know you did not personally put this ad on your blog it's just the combination of it with you as a vampire blog that made it so funny to me blood drinking ask to tag if there's anything else I've missed lunch break posting
