I wonder what Jonathan's up to. I'm sure he'll be fine, right? Right?

Just talking the Count through the details of London area train time tables, I'm sure. Definitely still has all of his blood.

I reckon the Count is teaching him all about how to rock climb.

Some fanfics just write themselves don't they

Every letter from the internet's friend Jonathan Harker is a potential off-ramp to an AU where he shares a pleasant hobby with his own friend, Count Dracula.

Am I supposed to just be throwing out wedding proposals to women left and right? Three in a day, how long has she even known lunatic asylum man?

but he almost managed to sit down on his silk hat, which men don't generally do when they are cool,

Did they use 'cool' the way we do now or am I reading that wrong?

I must say the romantic life of Mina is not my favourite part of this book, but at least it's got a cowboy in it. I thought @Alex was lying about that part.

A campfire drinking party with three people who all asked the same woman to marry them? That sounds... interesting.

Dracula's Castle really is a sitcom, isn't it?

You should really be proposing to anyone of marrying age who has a nice smile, if we're using 1897 horror novel Dracula as a guide to modern romance.

I wanna say she's using it more literally, like, he comes across cold, stand-offish, not like he's a smoking camel leaning against a fence while wearing shades, but either way it's a front for being a charming, nervous, goofball.

I knew he was real, but I had wondered if people were exaggerating how much of a Cowboy he was. 100% Cowboy. Couldn't be more Cowboy if he lasso'd a cow -- we know in our hearts he has and could at any moment lasso a cow.

A psychologist, a cowboy, and a nobleman walk into a campfire drinking party...

Has anyone ever tried to lasso a vampire?

Lots to process in today's post.

Just caught up! The Cowboy is indeed the best omg

I keep wondering if anyone's attempted a multimedia version of Dracula, with pictures of the shorthand diaries and letters, sound recordings for the phonograph diaries, etc
