something i am utterly obsessed with is the physical copy of dracula that i recently purchased that has , as part of its foreword , some of the original idea notes that bram stoker had about what dracula’s vampiric powers/traits would be.
one of these is that dracula’s likeness cannot be captured in a painting , he always looks like someone else.
which only leads me to imagine a scenario in which the count lines many of his castle hallways with paintings of himself throughout the centuries but none of them look the same and none of them look like him but jonathan can’t help but notice they all somehow look eerily similar.
he brushes it off , assuming they are simply counts of generations past.

Male margined green pearl moth, Parotis marginata, Crambidae
Note: The bristles at the end of the abdomen are a structure known as a hair-pencil. Hair-pencils are found on male Lepidopterans and used for pheromone signaling. The pheromones secreted from the hair-pencil glands serve as an aphrodisiac and tranquilizer for females, and sometimes as a repellent for males of the same species. The hair-pencil structure is stored inside the body until courtship begins, at which time it is everted.

I wonder, why isn't machete's neck longer? To, you know, reach apples.
Apples make his tummy hurt.
