of course we'd never get to read / hear it, but i love imagining Jack Seward, with the patience of a saint, teaching Van Helsing how to use his phonograph the same way a child teaches their impatient parent how to use a computer

I’ll see you all on the other side… 🫡

On this day, October 15

In 2022: My Chemical Romance performed their 57th show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Inglewood, California, USA. At this show, Gerard Way wore a custom designed Dracula outfit, and four tally marks were drawn on the drums. The majority of the songs performed at this show were from their fourth album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys". (🖤)

Watch the show here!

Jonathan: “I will skin him alive and feed his bones to the wolves. I will rip him apart limb from limb and tear his fangs out one by one. He will wish I had been merciful enough to send him to Hell.”

Van Helsing: “... You will be staying in bed with Madam Mina today.”

Dracula failed to go big in London so he goes home instead huh

van helsing speak like a normal human being challenge

When I read to Mina, Van Helsing's message in the phonograph

So.. you typed out his voice record.. and then you read the typed out voice record to her? Like. with your voice?

Mina just prefers Jonathan's voice i guess 💁

Mina Harker 🦇: The final girl. day 1 @windbrook 's SLASHED challenge

Abraham Van Helsing: *taps mic* The Harkers have deserved a holiday.

Today in Dracula Daily our plot will be moved forward by

Hypnotism

Presented by Mina and carried out by Van Helsing who just knows how to do that i guess

Van Helsing, into Jack's Phonograph: this thing on? (clears throat) To Jonathan Harker: I hereby prescribe you and dear miss madam Mina to Not Appear In The Novel Dracula for the remainder of the day. You must spoon-feed each other soup, cuddle by the fire, and fall asleep holding hands - and no Dracula-related activities! Doctor's Orders! Sincerely, Abraham Van Helsing (rattles off list of degrees until Jack's phonograph runs out of wax cylinder)

Jonathan to his diary, spending all day with Mina re-reading the "Dracula" manuscript: Van Helsing isn't the boss of me!

Dracula had such a bad time with the first ship that he made sure this second one used proper sails lmao

“In two or three minutes later Van Helsing was in the room in his dressing-gown, and Mr. Morris and Lord Godalming were with Dr. Seward at the door asking questions.”

I love this.

The Texan and the Lord are also here and worried, which is FAIR. Given all the SHIT that has gone down.

Friends this part where Dracula attacked Mina and then she got a scar on her forehead and maybe he can influence her mind but it’s a two way street and she also has dreams about what he’s up to so she lets a professor get up in her brain to help? It sounds kind of familiar??? Like JK Rowling just copied the plot of Dracula??

Alas, but that sentence is a puddle; is it not? 

oof at least the Professor is self-aware

October 4

Professor, vampire hunter, surgeon, hypnotist; is there anything Dr. Van Helsing can't do?
