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.

Okay, so I'm finally catching up on Dracula Daily (I got like a month behind somehow, which I know sort of defeats the "daily" of it, but I'm working on it) and anyways I'm just now reading Jonathan's June 29 entry, and--

"The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me"

Did Dracula just blow our boy Jonathan a kiss??

I suppose it's likely some other old-fashioned gesture that I'm not familiar with, but then again, it could well be the blowing-you-a-kiss gesture in a mocking way ("with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of." I do love that description.) I feel like there's something I might be missing here but right now I'm definitely picturing Dracula blowing Jonathan a wicked little kiss.

back at it with using my main blog in more of a bloggy journally way again :) dracula daily jonathan harker count dracula random thoughts And Questions! bram stoker post-lunch break posting this time am blogging :) trying to remember what all tags I've been using for this stuff is there a ship name for those two? maybe like Joncula ? lol. or like Count Harker hahaha idk what I'm doing. I know Dracula is an evil baby murderer and Jonathan loves Mina (even more than the rest of us) but I can't help reading this moment as just a liiiittle flirty in an evil vampire way ofc. but still yeah at first I thought Drac was kissing Jon's hand but then I realized it sounds more like he's kissing his own hand how old is the gesture of blowing someone a kiss anyways? I wonder when that originated many thoughts many questions lowkey tempted to draw Dracula blowing Jonathan a little kiss but I'm not great at drawing expressions and I hardly find time to draw I also want to draw wwdits Marwa looking at the stars but that's a whole different thought once again rambling in the tags
