If you want to visualize and compare it, I've graphed the length of each entry and given some other entry stats in another post linked here.
Google says it takes approximately 5 minutes to read 1000 words, so plan accordingly!

i still think the funniest take on van helsing's 'parrots live forever and there's a spider the size of a dog in spain and fakirs can resurrect themselves' monologue is that all of those things are true in this universe it's just that nobody knows abt it. like we already have the vampires why should that be the only thing that's off. but like what i think adds flavour is if it's all true specifically for van helsing and for everyone else it's bogus until he tells you abt it. then you're on his astral plane and you get to deal w/ that
#dracula daily#you know how in rise of the guardians the guardians can only exist if people believe in them#it's like that only van helsing believes in every single cryptid he ever comes across#average person believes in 5 crytpids factoid actually just statistical error#abraham van helsing who is from amsterdam and believes in 10.000 cryptids is an outlier and should not have been counted

Hello! I noticed a couple other surveys going around the Dracula Daily fandom, and thought "why not throw my hat in the ring?" This is mostly a demographic survey, because one of my biggest questions in every fandom I'm part of is "who are all these people, anyway? What do they do when they aren't vibing with me on the internet?" I'd really appreciate your taking 5 or 10 minutes to fill it out!
I'm planning to post an analysis of whatever results come in on the weekend of 12th-13th November, the weekend after Dracula Daily 2022 comes to a close.
#dracula daily#quiz#statistics#my beloved#i'm not a stats minor. I'm not strong enough. but I DO tutor stats#wonder if I can get extra credit in research methods if I explain all of this to my professor#we'll see how well I did on my latest paper and then decide whether it's worth a shot

If anyone is interested, this has been our progress in Whale Weekly so far (using the audiobook timestamps to measure it). December 17-21 was indeed a sudden rush, and I'm feeling we'll have more of it, intersped with long waits with the occasional short chapter like this past week.
I kinda want to see the equivalent one for Dracula Daily, but not sure how to do it lazily, given the non-linearity (maybe copy-pasting the emails into a text editor?)

Should not have read the notes on the latest Top 5 video, I have more sense than that usually, gdit.
#Shane is such a troll#Although I would like to know how the Tumblr top 5 data was aggregated#because it felt very much like an 'over time' kind of deal#Like is it from the last 5 years or something?#Because if it was from the last year I feel like it would be completely different#and if it was from all time I feel like it would be completely different#Like in the last year I think you'd be seeing Dracula daily OFMD and Steddie#But from all time we're missing some of the really BIG ones#My statistical mind is whirring#What was your sample Tumblr? Did you use any adjustments? I want the science

So the thing about vampires is that they’re not actually aristocrats. They pretend to be aristocrats, but they’re interlopers, putting on a façade of nobility so they can infiltrate high society. The disguise makes them trusted, respectable, above reproach, but it was always a lie. There is no nobility in the monstrous dead.
Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu was published in 1872, 25 years before Dracula. The titular character passes herself off as a young noblewoman in dire straits, so she’s taken in as a guest by an aging widower and his teenage daughter, Laura, who live alone and isolated in a castle in the wilds of Austria. (Alone except for the servants, of course, and isolated except for the nearby village, but everyone knows people don’t count as company if they’re below a certain social class and/or not English.) Carmilla is strange, intense, prone to bouts of melancholy and brief bursts of passionate anger, and will say nothing about her family or her past. Laura has multiple eerie dreams about her. They of course become close friends. Pals, one might even say. Just gals being pals.
Young women in the nearby village start dying, Laura contracts a mysterious illness, Laura keeps dreaming that a panther comes into her room at night and bites her on the breast before turning into a woman and disappearing, etc. Obviously Carmilla is a vampire. Carmilla is also an anagram of Mircalla, a countess from nearly 200 years before. Carmilla really likes anagrams, it turns out, and regularly goes around seducing young women to death under anagrammed pseudonyms.
And look I realize that Carmilla actually being a long-dead countess seems to contradict the whole “not really nobility” thing, but Carmilla's not a countess anymore in the same way Lucy’s not herself anymore after a certain point. That countess is dead. Carmilla is the thing that wears her skin.
Anyway all of this is because I’ve decided to catch up on Dracula Daily by listening to the podcast (phenomenal sound design btw), and I just finished May 5, where we have this little description:
Hitherto I had noticed the backs of his hands as they lay on his knees in the firelight, and they had seemed rather white and fine; but seeing them now close to me, I could not but notice that they were rather coarse—broad, with squat fingers.
Dracula seems to have fine, pale hands, the hands of an aristocrat, but on closer inspection they’re not fine at all. The façade doesn’t hold up to true scrutiny.
But of course it goes further than that, because he’s not just a regular man pretending to be a count. A regular man doesn’t have hairs growing in the center of his palm. A regular man doesn’t have nails filed to a sharp point. He’s not a man at all.
—
disclaimer that actually some people DO have hairy palms, it’s a form of localized hypertrichosis (aka hair in unexpected places) and it’s not at all common, but it is perfectly normal in the same way that lots of weird body stuff is perfectly normal. human bodies get up to some wild shit! “average person with hairy palms is a monstrous creature of the night” actually a statistical error; Vlad Dracula, the most famous haver of hairy palms in all literature, is an exception adn should not have been count.

Do you know how many days there are emails from our good friends? I'm trying to track it on my reading tracker by episodes but it won't let me leave the total blank
Answer under a spoiler cut because I know some people don't want to know in advance~
You'll get Dracula Daily emails on 111 days. (Source: this post by @peachesanmemes. It includes detailed graphs and some statistics about entry lengths, which vary greatly.)

mthedm ---> mymaleficaria
Hi gang! I've had this blog since high school, but somewhere in college it fell into disuse and disrepair. I've been itching to get back on here, as a space on the internet that's not...ya know *gestures at the Twitter-sized elephant in the room*. But I also wanted to go in with a fresh coat of paint and reintroduce myself to y'all, maybe even make some new friends (or enemies. That could be hot.) A lot has changed!
Wait, why do I follow you?
Statistically, you followed me because of Wolf 359! I was big into podcasts back in the day, WTNV, Wolf 359, all those. I also wrote some Wolf 359 fics and was semi-active on the discord. Still fondly remember the show and might reblog fanart once in awhile, but it's not the direction this blog's going to go, so feel free to unfollow if what up I'm to now isn't your jam.
What's this blog about now?
Wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy? Frankly, I'm ADHD as fuck, so that'll vary by the day, but I have a few fandoms (do we still say fandoms in the year of our lord 2023???) that I've been into lately.
Dimension 20: I started watching D20 a little less than a year ago, and it entirely took over my life. It's just a series that's so robustly funny, wonderfully told, and never fails to make me smile. I'm especially fond of ACOC and Fantasy High.
Dracula Daily: I'm in this shit for the long haul! I think Lucy and Mina should kiss, but that's neither here nor there.
Game of Thrones/HotD: This show ended in a trash fire, but it literally lives in my head rent free. The political intrigue, the drama. Ugh. I'm a targ girlie through and through, so I've been eating up HotD, though it's nowhere near as good imo. Am also currently reading the 1st ASOIAF book.
YA lit/Whatever I'm reading/watching: I've read almost 50 books this year so far, and am frankly, insane. Bonus points for queer reads! Not many people to talk about books to irl, so might ramble about them on here instead. Also watch a lot of random TV drama and some anime.
Writing: I'm a fanfic writer, and a fiction writer in general, so I'll post stuff about writing--complaints, story snippets, link to my fics, etc! Headcanons and all will be found here. I've also copyedited before, which is like writing but if you get even more nitpicky about it.
Personal/Whatever the hell I feel like/My D&D Games: Life happens and sometimes you want to scream into the void. Ramblings, jokes, whatever. I transed my gender in the past few years and sometimes I'm mad about it! I also just graduated college! Madness! I play a lot of TTRPGs, and I'm usually on brainrot for one of my characters at any given time.
Why's your new username that?
One of my favorite book series is The Scholomance by Naomi Novik, and in the series, Maleficaria are the horrifying monsters that threaten to kill the students every day, and what is tumblr if not a place full of vile, evil beings? Plus, it means you all can call me Mal.
Anything else?
Nope! Other than to feel free to drop me a line and say hello, especially if you want to scream about D20. I'm p alone in this brainrot irl, so I'm pretty much always down to talk about the Bad Kids... especially Adaine and Fabian. I'm also always down to take fic suggestions in my asks! This show genuinely lifts me up when I'm down, so sharing it with people is one of my favorite things.
My fics (shortlist):
In Sweetness, There is Violence: Angsty ACOC one-shot about if Ruby had made a different choice in the finale. Obligatory Caramelinda Caramelinda-ing.
the words i speak are wildfires: A HOTD one-shot I intended to be smut, that ended up instead being more like a romantic sapphic moment of healing between Alicent and Rhaenyra. What can I say? I like childhood friends to enemies to lovers.
Stay Stellar: An unfinished (and, very likely, discontinued) 15-chapter high school AU for Wolf 359 that I wrote with an old friend. Featuring some truly crazy shenanigans, a lot of embarrassing Kepcobi moments, and a surprising amount of theatre.

May 7 - Stranger In A Strange Land
Re Dracula/Dracula Daily
I think from now on I will continue to read Dracula Daily as I listen to Re Dracula. This time it was not a line that was skipped, but 3 paragraphs. It's an understandable thing to skip, just very specific details on the house Dracula wishes to purchase. Honestly, I'm glad they skipped it. I'd rather not listen to them prattle on about the houses walls and the streets it lies on. Reading and Listening are two very different experiences, treating them as such was a good choice. But it is good to know what was missed. Especially as I'm new to the story and would rather not accidentally skip something important.
But I'll go into the missed parts when I get to it, for now, the story.
When Jonathon woke up to find a note from Dracula excusing him from dinner, I couldn't help but wonder how many excuses the man has up his sleeves. They can only go on for so long, surely. It is interesting how the author shows things to be suspicious through absence. Whether it be the Count himself, the lack of mirrors or there being no servants at all. I guess that driver was him then.
Jonathon's finally gathered himself to exploring the place too. First his room, which was filled with precious things centuries old but extremely well-maintained. Is Dracula taking good care of his belongings, or are there some practical uses to his magic? Then out of his rooms to locked doors. And of the first unlocked room he finds is a library which immediately captures him. A man after my own heart.
It is curious how many of those books are English and clearly new. Has the Count been visiting the bookstores. There are some that are clearly new(ish) by the titles.
I'll list some of the books down below, including those mentioned later.
London Directory (now known as the white pages), a telephone system was already well established so he access to both their numbers and addresses
Red & Blue Books (government briefings, if modern terms match), so he's getting a feel for the lay of business and authority too
Whitaker's Almanac (facts, figures and statistics relating to the UK and the world), to help him understand the wider and more minute facts of the world he plans to venture into, I would guess
The Army & Navy Lists (lists of army and navy soldiers)
The Law Lists (I'm not sure, maybe the laws?)
Bradshaw's Guide (railway timetables and travel guides), he was actively reading this one
A marked Atlas open to England (an iffily marked marked, not spooky at all)
It's a bit eery, considering the genre of the story. But not as much as what comes up in their following conversations.
Dracula showed up while Jonathon was browsing and was glad to have found him there. He insists that he doesn't know English fully but would like for Jonathon talk with him more so he can learn. He goes far as to request he picks up any mistake, any off intonation, anything mismatched at all. I guess to better blend in and not get caught in his violence. He himself states that,
But a stranger in a strange land, he is no one; men know him not—and to know not is to care not for.
It contrasts well with how Jonathon was treated by Carpathian citizens on his arrival. How hard they work to send him, and failing that, protecting him.
He goes to say that even still he would be a master, or at least master to none. So he definitely isn't looking to live among them when blending in.
At this point Dracula officially allows Jonathon into any unlocked part of the castle (adventure, anyone?) and moves onto the cultural differences. Considering how he directed Jonathon to his questions of his strange experiences thus far, focussing on the treasure marker blue flames, I'd say he's decided to kick the gaslighting into gear. And even in these explanations the Count has focussed on violent histories and speaking lowly of the citizens here.
His character isn't just shown through disdain and violent interests, but also his strong focus on the house and surrounding areas. He questioned Jonathon on various aspects of the house and location fiercely and had gone into his own research as well, startling him at how much more of the place he knew. Dracula says he obviously must as both Jonathon and his boss, Peter Hawkins, would be in Exeter, miles away.
Dracula is good at saying things that aren't odd or are easily excusable. But when added up, 😬. There was no need for the 'I know where you live' comment, really.
Here's where the podcast skips. In between "So!" and "I am glad that it is old and big".
In the missed bits Dracula signed his lease and other necessary legal documents, and Jonathon got them ready for mailing. Dracula asks how him came across a place so suitable, so Jonathon reads out notes on the place he had found. And yeah, it's suitable all right.
"At Purfleet, on a by-road, I came across just such a place as seemed to be required, and where was displayed a dilapidated notice that the place was for sale. It is surrounded by a high wall, of ancient structure, built of heavy stones, and has not been repaired for a large number of years. The closed gates are of heavy old oak and iron, all eaten with rust.
"The estate is called Carfax, no doubt a corruption of the old Quatre Face, as the house is four-sided, agreeing with the cardinal points of the compass. It contains in all some twenty acres, quite surrounded by the solid stone wall above mentioned. There are many trees on it, which make it in places gloomy, and there is a deep, dark-looking pond or small lake, evidently fed by some springs, as the water is clear and flows away in a fair-sized stream. The house is very large and of all periods back, I should say, to mediæval times, for one part is of stone immensely thick, with only a few windows high up and heavily barred with iron. It looks like part of a keep, and is close to an old chapel or church. I could not enter it, as I had not the key of the door leading to it from the house, but I have taken with my kodak views of it from various points. The house has been added to, but in a very straggling way, and I can only guess at the amount of ground it covers, which must be very great. There are but few houses close at hand, one being a very large house only recently added to and formed into a private lunatic asylum. It is not, however, visible from the grounds."
I agree with Dracula. How did he come across a place so well suited to him? I'll leave a link on what a Carfax is down below.
But this is where we get back to the podcast.
Jonathon's observational skills are serving him well. Dracula goes on about how he is old and weary and likes the shadows and time to to myself, but to Jonathon his expression doesn't match at all. To him his smile seemed "malignant and saturnine", meaning malevolent and gloomy. Even worse, when Dracula left and Jonathon piled together his papers, he found an Atlas opened to a map of England. It was marked up with circles at the east side of London, on Exeter (the area where he and his boss lives, very creepy, very ominous) and on Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast.
Seriously, just run.
When Dracula comes back to chat until the rooster crowed, his instincts kicked back into gear as well. I get that you feel "under obligation to meet my host's wishes in every way", but kick that duty or social anxiety out of the way and leave. Even you thought the chill you were feeling was something reminiscent to turning of tides when one meets death. Listen to your instincts and just go already.
At least he was able to rest after after this journal entry. Probably. But we can definitely see the Count testing more and more of his bounds, slowly pushing Jonathon into a corner.
It was another good chapter.
My thanks to Re Dracula and Dracula Daily.

the most beautiful thing with Tumblr is that we might all be insane, but we are Insane Renaissance Peops TM.
Every ''world heritage post'' will contain cross-referencing of three different fandoms or at least one mythology. We make memes about statistical outliers (a lot). We teach each other weird historical facts (about Kelloggs' original purpose, or about how the Demeter from Dracula is difficult to stir for this reason contrary to popular belief that it was for that reason, or about the australian prime minister who went for a swim, etc). We write poetry. We've created at least three new kinds of litterature (shitposts, fictional aitas and haikubot-baiting). We share art, all kinds of art, from ancient statues to last-week fanart, from furry to abstract, from videos to music...
Now imagine a worldbuilding in a book. The reader learns there is this unhinged website existing only in the book which is basically dedicated to saying stupid stuff and laughing at stupid jokes with total strangers.
And then tell the reader about how this same website taught an entire generation about what a statistical outlier is, how almost everyone on it is reading an old gothic classic novel day by day together. The absolute unity of Dracula Daily. Tell the reader about the shared knowledge of this website, about the dozens of accounts solely dedicated to pictures of old clothes or modern architecture. How it is a bastion of basically every single political party who each argue with each other in a (relatively) milder way than on the real world. Tell the reader about the popular uproar when Haiku Bot answered for the first and last time, not with an echo, but with a love declaration to an user who asked it what its purpose was. About the obsession for the victorian era. For classical litterature. Tell the reader about how this stupid website is maybe the greatest bastion of world culture there is left in this world.
And ask the reader if it is really believable. The reader will answer ''no, it is not. Because humans beings, left to their own devices, stuck in a (chat)room with strangers, will begin to kill each other. They won't create something beautiful and welcoming just because they have the opportunity to, and even if some did, the vast majority would crush this project''.
Then show the reader. Show how, under its silly pretenses of being a shitposting site, it is a beacon for all the scholars stuck in the wrong time, and for all those who live in the right one but want more freedom, and for every single person in the world who wants a good laugh but also an opportunity to see a bit of beauty.

i like to imagine that when the last entry of dracula daily comes out there'll just be an out of the loop employee who monitors statistics for goodreads squinting at their screen like "how did 200,000 people all finish dracula on the same day"

WELL I CAN NAME ONE PERSON WHO ISN'T THINKING OF JEWS,
This reply has been deleted from my post. I have blocked this user. I am choosing to leave the username in the screenshot so that other people can block them as well. I do NOT condone sending any follow-up hatemail or other inflammatory messages, on my or anyone else's behalf. Please block without engaging.
This was a reply on my Dracula post, specifically this version with my addition. This user left a reply initially saying that the vampire myth originates from folklore and "not everything is about you btw" (quote). I pointed this user to the addition, and got this response.
I really, really don't want to look up statistics of antisemitism. I'm not going to do that. It is very easy to look up those numbers, and I won't do it to my own mental health. When I am posting about antisemitism, it is not because "I wanna be oppressed." I have personally heard someone threaten to set Jewish people on fire, and I live in New York City. If you don't believe that antisemitism is real and a serious issue, I don't have anything to say to you.
However, I do want to address this, so that's beneath the cut for length. CW for, obviously, mentions and discussions of antisemitism. The TL;DR is this: My post was created for the PURPOSE of asking that people do, in fact, think about jews while reading goddamn dracula.
I think my initial post as linked above speaks pretty well for itself; I won't repeat my claims about the antisemitism in the text. Dracula as a book is rooted in the bigotries of its time. That's not a point I'm going to argue further. The vampire figure has strong ties to the fears associated with the Jewish community. If someone wants to insist that there isn't any connection, despite having those connections pointed out to them, I'm not interested in continuing that conversation. That's not a conversation; that's talking to a wall.
The exact problem is that people aren't thinking of Jewish people while reading this book. [Pause at this point to remind gentiles that it comes off badly to say "Jews" if you aren't Jewish yourself. It's not a slur, it just leaves a bad taste: it's reminiscent of those who do use it derogatorily and we ask that you avoid it.]
Uncritical consumption of media, without examining (or at least giving a cursory glance at) the underlying problems, is exactly how we end up with Attack On Titan (!) fans telling Jewish bloggers that they just want to be oppressed.
I'll say it again: If you don't understand the bigotries embedded in the texts you consume, and/or fail to see how context shapes the text, you are more likely to cause harm, even if it is unintended.
I'm not interested in the details of authorial intent (see, again, the addition linked above) because I don't think it's possible to determine with certainty and because I don't think it's relevant - whether Stoker was deliberately drawing on antisemitism for malicious intent or otherwise, these tropes are present, they mimic harm, and they make these ideas palatable.
In reading a story about a Jewish-coded character who is scary and evil, an incautious reader is entirely capable of internalizing these ideas. The media we consume forms & reinforces pathways in our minds; stereotypes become shortcuts become biases.
Learn to recognize the things that reflect historical and current issues. No one is asking you to boycott every Victorian novel. I am also reading and enjoying Dracula Daily. The only thing I am urging with my post is that people pay attention, so that I don't have to see comments like THIS. Thanks for reading this far.

Persuasion is, between Austen novels, the one easiest to place in time, as it is firmly set in the context of the Napoleonic Wars. So the Netflix Persuasion making Lady Russell a sex tourist implies she travels to WAR TORN EUROPE to get her boytoys which... wow.

90s period dramas: what if you could travel in time and see these people in their lived-in but visually nice settings and clothing? What if the story came to life on the screen?
2000s period dramas: but what if those were also colorful and dynamic and filled with a contemporary sense of rhythm and emotivity?
2010s period dramas: but what if they were all grimy and SERIOUS... or also just the stylization of illustration and its unbelievable primness brought to life?
2020s period dramas: but what if they were really about us and OUR time and OUR fashion and OUR way of speaking, and OUR values and mores because we are the most important prettiest most intelligent humans to ever exist so why even try and engage with all that barbaric inferiority and otherness?

Not gonna lie, I heard you all talking so much about a cowboy showing up since the beginning that somehow I expected Quincy Morris to show up out of nowhere to Dracula's castle and rescue Jonathan western style, and I'm a bit disappointed.

So
I look back on my latest reblog, about ten hours ago, of @anexperimentallife‘s post about Maus to check whether the Popper Paradox of Tolerance infographic has been removed from my latest reblog as it was from the OP and from reblogs of the OP; and what do I see:
Huh.
So I click on the question mark in the banner to review the community guidelines. There isn’t anything in this post that meets the guidelines’ definition of adult content unless somehow there’s a misapprehension that there’s an excerpt from Maus which includes the famous depiction of concentration camp nudity which got the book banned last week in Tennetuckybamaippi or wherever. Except I noticed something, circled in red here:

#וגם יש איזה התפתחות מוזרה של המילה שגרמה לזה שחשמל זאת המילה שלנו לחשמל. כי בתרגום השבעים זה תורגם במשמעות של 'ענבר' ואז בעזרת אבני ענבר

The house falling apart after Laszlo lived there with only Creepy Child Colin Robinson for a year is the best example for that one post that was like "girlboss manslut couple. She's slaying he's fucking nobody's doing the housework"

i was writing a REALLY long post and lost the point like six times through it so i deleted everything and will say this instead
it is SO important to me that hamlet is thirty years old. i know it works amazingly well for him to be a teenager, and it is such a sympathetic reading of him as a character, but i still think it glosses over really important parts of his place in the story
basically, what i could try and fail to say with a whole essay, is that hamlet is not a dramatic emo teenager. he is a dramatic emo ADULT. and i dont mean to say he is stupid or ridiculous or whatever! maybe a bit but only because he is so out of place. but thats my POINT - he is a fully fledged adult. as a grown and developed human being, he is a gentle, philosophical, even a poetic person. and he was so abruptly ripped from his own world, from the sure path he was on - you gotta remember he was actually headed somewhere. he was studying at university, he had ophelia, he had horatio. he was his own man! and the play only BEGINS with him basically being trapped back in his hometown - a place he doesnt even like! - with his family, to which he has essentially become a stranger
as much as it is painfully relatable to think of hamlet as a teen, him being an adult is such a big part of his character. even just about his existential crisis - not a teenager in a terrible situation who comes to face the horrors of life and death, but rather an adult, whose steady and familiar (and above all else imo, CHOSEN AND SELF-MADE) life crumbles completely in about a month. from this point onwards i could only offer a standard hamletrant but truly i think his actions and decisions and difficulties are all so deeply rooted in him being an adult man who was placed in the middle of. well. The Tragedy Of Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark. and had to face the truly empty darkness that replaced the sure future he thought for decades he was going to have

Eda and Raine and Lilith and Darius and Alador etc etc etc's few years (bc some of them are different ages) in hexide are so unbelievably successful?? Imagine you and your classmates become 3 out of the 9 heads of the ruling organizations in the land, including The Main One, and two become rich and well known entrepreneurs, and one becomes public enemy number one. Like what. That's Statistically Impressive

My #1 post of 2022
It is so fucking funny to me how the celebration of the one year ever given anniversary is relatively. Tame? Like usually tumblr holidays flood your entire dash but ive seen maybe two posts. March last year was so disconnected from the timeline we didnt register it as "march, from which a year will pass on The Next March". Time truly went kgldkskfkskfjalfjchskakfhsj- THERES A BOAT STUCK IN THE CANAL -jskdjakfkakfkakgkbkbkkvkck..d.fncjvmc.....

Dawn of the Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh days (40 days remain)
Goals for today:
statistics lecture
therapy session
add spss syntax to notebook
stats week 6 anki deck
apply for jobs
get winter things out of storage
i'm not going to lie this was probably one of my more unproductive weekends. I don't even know why really, just that last week was really busy and I think I needed space to just rot a bit.
All of my classes have been cancelled for this week because of the labor day holiday on Monday (which is fun), so I have plans to bust out this stats paper and just get out of the house in general.
Also, I didn't get to make paprika hendl for the start of Dracula Daily like I originally planned, but I have a vegetarian butter (not?) chicken recipe I'm excited to try this week instead!
