You know, yesterday I remembered that the wolf one was one that escaped from the zoo, but it turns out that's not really accurate.

Dracula pulled a heist on the zoo. He stole that wolf, and it returned as soon as it was able to escape his clutches.

Mina not telling Jonathan or anyone else her "dream" makes perfect sense to me. When they kicked her out of the clubhouse they broke trust with her. Even if she doesn't articulate it that's what happened. She's was the one most emphatically encouraging openness and trust. She was so confident. Their well-meaning rejection destroyed that confidence.

I'm not especially disturbed that Jonathan hasn't connected the dots wrt Mina's paleness. Of course he hasn't. He's convinced that order has been restored to the universe because the men have taken charge. Experts are experting. This, in all of their minds, makes Mina *safer*. They will all have to overcome their self-satisfaction and wishful thinking before they'll be able to recognize the clues.

I'm infuriated, but not surprised, on a general level, at the idiots for cutting her out and leaving her vulnerable. And I'm a little disappointed in Mina for not realizing right away that it wasn't a dream and Dracula is hunting her, honestly. She should at least be worried about it, and maybe trying to rationalize it ("Reading Lucy's diary put this nightmare in my head").

On a meta level, though, kudos to Stoker.

I'm so impressed with his messages, whether they were intentional or not.

Lucy's story: raising ladies to be submissive is bad, actually.

Mina's story: men are wrong to sideline women, and their machismo puts the women they're supposed to protect in more danger.

Bersicker's story: wolves are good bois and the long history of their villainization isn't their fault.

Stoker is *way* more enlightened than I expected.

maybe the thing is that dracula just really loves wolves. he thinks they’re the coolest thing on earth. he calls them “children of the night” and thinks they’re rad as hell. he comes across a problem and says “looks like this is a job for WOLVES!!!” because he has unrelenting faith in them. he looks at a wolf and thinks “wow he’s just like me fr”. he doesn’t understand the harmful effects of glass shards on wolves. he thinks they’re invincible

"Well, it was a odd thing, but when the animiles see us a-talkin' they lay down, and when I went over to Bersicker he let me stroke his ears same as ever. That there man kem over, and blessed but if he didn't put in his hand and stroke the old wolf's ears too!

"'Tyke care,' says I. 'Bersicker is quick.'

"'Never mind,' he says. 'I'm used to 'em!'"

I have never encountered this section of Dracula in any adaptation, and thought that a crying shame considering how atmospheric it is. So here's my sketchy rendition.

Did I miss something or are y’all pulling the name “Berserker” out of thin air just because Mr. Bilder has an accent that you’re correcting for? I personally chose to accept that he said the name perfectly and that the wolf’s name really is “Bersicker.”

Bersicker seems like such a good boy and doesn’t seem like like he would hurt someone of his own free will.

My first thought was PUPPY!!

I do understand he’s definitely not a puppy but he seems pretty friend-shaped.

Dracula: Go on, my child of the night, break the glass and send them running into frenzy, that I may take what is mine!

Berserker the Wolf, hating this: Shit shit shit, Mr. Bilder’s going to be so disappointed in me, shit

Lucy, seeing a giant wolf smash in her window: Oh, God! A wolf! My dead mother! My drugged staff! I’m going to die! D:>

Berserker, a Good Boy Doing This Against His Will: I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I ALSO DON’T WANT TO BE DOING THIS D:>

#Mr. Thomas Bilder will NOT have 'Big Bad Wolf' slander in this story #and apparently neither will Stoker as he really is going out of his way to show the Count is mind-controlling an animal against their will #Berserker/Bersicker is a GOOD BOY #he was coerced into Bad Boy behavior and did not enjoy one minute of it #dracula #lucy westenra #berserker the wolf #bersicker the wolf #dracula daily

Of wolves and bats*...

*actually I'll do two posts because otherwise hello novel-length musings.

Anyway. Wolves. I'm puzzled. That's an understatement.

First of all, I love wolves so I was never very happy with their association to evil in Dracula. Imagine my pleasant surprise when Mr. Bilder and the count were chatting about them and Drac said that wolves *wouldn't* like him.

This is so interesting to me.

It made sense for Stoker to cast them in the role of evil children of the night. I'd have been more surprised if he portrayed them positively because there's such a long history of fear of wolves in all corners of Europe. Just consider the fairytales! Of *course* they'd be vampire familiars.

And now, they're not?

I think this is Stoker's way of saying that all natural animals hate Dracula on sight. I wonder if bats and rats hate him too?

Then Dracula mindcontrols them. *He's* the one choosing animals that creep humans out. There's nothing inherently evil about wolves, it's Dracula that chooses to make them evil!

Honestly Stoker really exceeds all my expectations if that's the case.

What do you all think happened to poor Bersicker ? Speculation only, please, no spoilers.

"Then outside in the shrubbery I heard a sort of howl like a dog's, but more fierce and deeper." - Lucy Westenra on september 17.

There are no wolves in england. Modernity subdued them, and killed them all. But sometimes the ancient howls come back to those forests of trees that are now forests of stone to inflict the same fear that never left, and will never leave.

There are wolves in england, linked to their forests, but tamed by the present. Brought from other lands as a way to fix the errors of modernity.

"Bersicker was one of three grey ones that came from Norway to Jamrach's... This one ain't been used to fightin' or even to providin' for hisself, and more like he's somewhere round the Park a-'idin' an' a-shiverin' of, and, if he thinks at all, wonderin' where he is to get his breakfast from." - Thomas Bilder.

Bersicker may be a wolf yes, but he is a wolf raised in a modern (for the victorians) zoo. He gets his breakfast from human hands, he has never fought for his survival, and his first instinct after Dracula gets rid of him is to go back to mister Bilder in broad daylight instead of hiding.

Even if Dracula used him, and wounded him in his attack to the Westenra household Bersicker still wanted to go back to his home.

Not the now vanished forests, nor the freedom of open landscapes, but the zoo. Moreover, unlike poor Lucy who suffered a string of errors that left her remaining life in chaos, Bersicker's caretaker was there waiting for him with open arms, not judging him for his escape, but instead glad that he came back.

It makes me think of Jonathan, and how he has the single objective of coming back to Mina. After suffering being used, then discharged by Dracula, Jonathan walked and walked through unfamiliar places, wounded and confused, with a single goal in mind: get back to Mina.

And Bersicker did the same. The poor tamed wolf was used then discharged by Dracula, left with wounds all of over his head, and walked until he went back to the zoo. And they are there, both of Mr. And Mrs. Bilder, glad to see him alive again.

There are no natives wolves in england, modernity killed them all.

#Modernity can't save anyone #Not even a pampered wolf forgets their instincts #But at the end everyone is a pawn for Dracula #Not matter human or animal #dracula daily #dracula #bersicker the wolf #lucy westenra #jonathan harker

Thinking about that trope where if the audience hears about the main characters' Big Plan in great detail, it's most certainly all going to get fucked up.

But if we're kept out of the loop then sometimes it means the characters have some cool tricks up their sleeves that they'll pull out when it seems everything's gone wrong.

Now imagining a confrontation on the Czarina Catherine where Dracula's thrown everyone around and either knocked them out or got everyone under sexy hypnosis, when Arthur weakly manages to lift his trusty whistle to his lips...

...and running down from the deck above, it's Bersicker, back for his own revenge, leaping at the Count before he can react!

And we get an Ocean's-11-style flashback to England, where we see Arthur paying Thomas Bilder to take a vacation to Varna, and oh bring that good boy wolf of yours, he could get some fresh sea air...

#dracula daily #they planned for this contingency you see #it was their Plan B #B for Bersicker hohoho #this may be my silliest post yet and i've made quite a few
