Experience Tumblr like never before
What Dracula adaptations are about: Victorian beauty, romance, gore, gentle kisses in the night, other gothic poetry stuff
What the book was about: A group of friends and their weird kooky grandpa kill Dracula to avenge their collective dead girlfriend
Some Mina and Jonathan Harker for the end of spooky season. ♥
✨ Mina Harker ✨
I love the Harkers so much! I really need to try to settle on a design for Jonathan too.
And just draw these two dorks more in general.
They're delightful ♥
Mina: "Alright, everyone pinkie swear right now to put Vampire Me down if I hop the line between death and undeath."
Van Helsing and the Suitor Squad: "Depressing, but sure, absolutely."
Jonathan:
Mina: "...Jonathan?"
Jonathan: "Yes?"
Mina: "Will you promise to slay me if I get vampire'd?"
Jonathan: "Mina, I will not lie to you."
Jonathan:
Mina: "Jonathan. I need you to look me in the eye and promise to murder me martyr-style if I get too undead."
Jonathan: "Fine. I can promise to kill."
Mina: "Me? Vampire me?"
Jonathan, making unbroken eye contact with the four guys who just promised to behead and impale his wife if she stops being human enough: "I guarantee there will be killing involved if Vampire You happens."
Happy wedding day to the couple of all time
Illy Harkers may your marriage be less eventful this time around
AHHHH I DONT KNOW HOW TO DRAW MINA
THEYRE ALL SO PRETTY
Jonathan Harker is dead.
The official cause given by police was that he leaned too far out of a high-up window and fell. There are multiple witnesses that can testify to this, but that doesn’t stop the rumors that Count Dracula himself was responsible.
His body is brought back to England the same day the Demeter crashes on shore.
A few months later, Mina finds Jonathan’s journal inside the coat he died in. She reads it, horrified, and turns it over to the doctors examining her friend Lucy’s strange illness.
Van Helsing and Seward, after reading the journal and the supernatural death of Lucy, know what they have to do.
Dracula leaves for Transylvania once more, but not before attacking Mina. She, Seward, Arthur, Van Helsing, and Quincey follow with the intention to put an end to the vampire.
Seward fears one of Dracula’s brides spotted the group while they snuck into Castle Dracula, so they evacuate immediately. While leaving, Mina could have sworn she caught a glimpse of a familiar face…
So that’s my Dracula AU! A concept at least. I got the idea while listening to the song “I Know Those Eyes/This Man is Dead” I HIGHLY suggest giving it a listen!
Songs of the AU: The World has Gone Insane, I Know Those Eyes/This Man is Dead.

Night of November 4th,1897 (colorized)
Watch out Dracula he’s got… Academic Credentials
Dr. Seward watching Reinfield’s experiments
Jonathan and Mina huddle when Jonathan was telling Mina that being unclean is nonesense and holding her closer
I am hoping this is the moment you meant because damn it hurts
I’m slowly collecting Jonathan’s various states of hair like Pokemon
I've been sitting on this idea for a while and I think it's finally time for us to have our own Secret Santa game this winter! No matter if you celebrate Christmas or not, I am calling all Dracula enthusiasts to create a wonderful gift for another lovely gift in return.
Here's how the game works: firstly with this post I will see around how many people will be interested in participating, and if it's worth going forwards. Then, we move onto the form where you let us know what you can bring to the game (fanfic, fanart, voice acting, video, etc), and what you would like to receive in return (same contents).
I will be making a discord server to keep everyone in contact and to announce dates etc. (discord will be needed, though I will be setting dates here on Tumblr too.)
Around the middle of November you will receive the username of the person you are making a gift for, and what they're interested in, and the gift will be wanting to be finished around the 25th December, though it will likely be after Christmas day (maybe early January). Fanfic is to be posted on ao3 and gifted to the person or on Tumblr with tagging them. Everything else on Tumblr with tags.
And that's that! Let me know in the comments if you are interested in participating so I can get an idea of the numbers. Reblogs wanted!! Thank you! :3
