#quincey talks

Got myself an edition of Dracula I've wanted for a long time - the one illustrated by Becky Cloonan - so here are some of my favourite illustrations (in phone camera quality, with the kitchen tablecloth in the background, sorry):
Jonathan's first illustration, the Weird Sisters, GET SHOVEL'D IDIOT
The Captain (you've probably seen this one before)
Basically every illustration featuring Renfield, they're so great. Good for him
Mina Harker, everybody (and YES she gets her canonical gun)
Our dear girls
The "get a job! stay away from her!" illustrations
LUCY
Jack being a brooding emo prince (again, good for him)...
...and, in particular, this little illustration of his first meeting with Mina. My favourite 19th century tech nerds.
The best couple in Gothic literature according to me:
Quincey looking almost exactly like his dark twin (Ethan Chandler in Penny Dreadful)
The 'Avengers assemble" one
(that's far from every illustration in the book, I simply didn't take pictures of every single one)

what i got from renfield (2023) was that robert had his bisexual awakening with dracula, and then proceeded to abandon his wife and child to go adventuring with a rich narcissist who gave him that good dick for mayhaps the first six month, but then eventually found himself stuck in an increasingly abusive and codependent relationship that he’s been secretly begging to get himself out of for decades, but hasn’t been able to until the support group and quincey came along bc he still feels guilty about abandoning his family for dracula in the first place.
#renfield 2023#renfield#count dracula#dracula#dracula x renfield#im glad he and quincey didn’t sleep together considering how fucked up he was in that movie#mayhaps in number two#but maybe not even then#i think he admired her more than anything else#real talk

Gotta love how the locals ALL react to Jonathan. They see him head to the wolf's jaws, one who is known for his taste for youth and go "oh that's a baby... I must give up my OWN good luck charm for this kid!"
Jonathan's whole beginning is such innocence facing its first big experience. Very first step out of the hearth.
It also juxtaposes with Jack, Quincey and Arthur, who are experienced men who have had many adventures overseas already!
Jonathan being a child in the eyes of the locals is something that has been discussed a lot, but I still feel for them. Because in a way, Jonathan is still a child, he is away from home, fresh from exams and with a fiancee, to have his first job in the field.
So the locals see this young man who doesn't even speak their language, but is polite, and has the kind of freshness that only inexperienced young people have in his eyes. They don't think much of it until he tells them (in broken german) where exactly he is going. Then, after Jonathan's revelation what the locals only see is a walking corpse, or worse another young soul trapped for eternity.
What the inkeepeer's wife sees is a lonely mother in a candle lit home, waiting and waiting for any kind of news of her son, looking at the window for hours so she doesn't miss the arrival of that young man she raised, and sent to a foreing land.
What the locals see is another victim. It seems that horrible being lost the fascination for the taste of their young (or has already devoured so many), and now he is bringing more innocent young people to his cursed tomb of a castle.
So they try, and try to keep that young man away, but he is a stubborn english man (it's his first job he can't mess it up).
They see the determination of his eyes (or desesperation and confusion), and let him go.
Maybe if they give him some protections he can put the clues together, and survive (it's impossible). Maybe if the coachman goes faster than that devil he can make the young man wait for tomorrow.
Compare Jonathan to these charming men, older than him, who had already seen so much more. The three of them have the kind of "mindset" that Jonathan lacks when it comes to danger. However, I think that even with all of their experience, none of them would have survived what Jonathan has been through in the course of these days.
I know it sounds unbelievable, or even cruel. Still, based on their characters, and the kind of masculine archetype that each of them represent, would Arthur, Quincey and Jack see through Dracula? Absolutely they aren't fools. Would they survive the kind of game that Dracula has been playing with Jonathan? I don't think so.
#For the record I'm talking about the perspective of the locals here#Jonathan has been fully aware of his suspicion and fear since day 1#He just wants to do a good job and get paid#Also I'm tagging this as#dracula daily spoilers#Because it mentions the three weed smoking suitors#Also I want to hear if I'm wrong in my assumptions! I personally think that Quincey would shoot Dracula in the face point blank#And ride towards the sunset even if he is in the middle of Transylvania winter#dracula daily#dracula#jonathan harker

i am very proud of this. i had a lot of fun trying to find references for the clothes that were period-accurate and felt right for the characters. i looked up a height reference. i colored it, which i don't often do.
yeah i'm really proud of this.

We all rant on about how Quincey Morris gets unfairly shafted in Dracula adaptations, and rightfully so, but I have yet to see a single screen adaptation that includes Quincey Harker.
#bcuz most adaptations have mina be too busy clapping nasty ugly vampire cheeks to bare a child with her husband#quincey morris#quincey harker#we also don't talk about *that* book#the one that retconned the manner in which mina's son was concieved#dracula#re: dracula#dracula daily

@re-dracula did a great job with the music in this episode. It helps lend gravity, and stress the tone, and most importantly... helps disguise how diddly darn long this monologue is
The written version would definitely give me trouble, with the lack of paragraph breaks, so the music definitely helps on account of General Trouble With Focus
#it is so long. it is so many paragraphs of more-than-one-screen length in my inbox copy#phoenix talks#dracula#dracula daily#re: dracula#AND THEN QUINCEY HAPPENS WHICH IS. A WAY FOR BRAM TO END THE WHOLE DANG THING#oH THE MUFFLING TO QUINCEY'S VOICE IS GOOD

As newly-qualified solicitor Marius Pontmercy travels to Romania to help a Count with his purchase of a home, his fiancée Cosette Fauchelevent heads over to Cette with their friends to prepare for their wedding. However, when Marius’ host begins to reveal sinister secrets, the couple and their friends must work together to save themselves and avenge those they have lost.
Or; A Dracula AU, where Marius is Jonathan Harker and Cosette is Mina Murray.
A gift fic (with some doodles!) for @feathraly ((I really hope this is the right tumblr account...)) for the Discorinthe discord anniversary exchange! Their lovely lovely prompt WRT Marisette being a gothic couple, Jehan giving a bit of gothic horror as a treat, and some supernatural crossovers naturally lent themselves to me writing a Dracula AU with Marisette of course being the quintessential gothic power couple: The Harkers!
I hope feathraly enjoyed this fic!! <3 and if anyone else likes vampires, angst, and the Power of Friendship, this fic will probably be up your alley too! But please mind the tags!
P.S. No prior knowledge of Dracula is needed to read this fic! But if you are already familiar with Dracula, there is a whole bunch of new content in there too 👀
#Just a heads up: I've read Les Mis no less than 5 times by this point#but I've only read Dracula once; so forgive me if I didn't manage to capture the vibe accurately!#I also had to cut out a LOT of scenes because well...I'm not about to wholesale cut-and-paste the entirety of Dracula into ao3#which means: rip Mrs Westenra and Renfield </3#Also: why Enjolras as Lucy Westenra? Because I like putting him into Situations#and that means putting Grantaire as Arthur AND Quincey. You can see where this is going#Okay anyways I've talked long enough; gotta put in the tags now#les mis#les mis fanfic#les mis fanart#marius pontmercy#cosette#cosette fauchelevent#grantaire#combeferre#jean prouvaire#enjolras#fuck it im also going to tag:#dracula#just in time for dracula daily wahoo#sure theres an overlap between these two fandoms right?#syrup art tag#syrup writing

He flung his overcoat half out of the window to cover the armorial bearings upon the panel, but I had seen them in the glare of our fanlight none the less. I gasped with surprise. Then I turned back and ascended the stair to Holmes's room.
“I have found out who our client is,” I cried, bursting with my great news. “Why, Holmes, it is—”
“It is a loyal friend and a chivalrous gentleman,” said Holmes, holding up a restraining hand. “Let that now and forever be enough for us.”
I don’t know if we’re supposed to guess who the client is from this (royalty maybe?) but the fact this guy came in a carriage bedecked with the heraldry of someone who is trying to keep his identity secret??
Arthur Holmwood is that you

Between Quincey Morris being the first (apart from Van Helsing who is still keeping his suspicions about vampires to himself) to point out that it’s not a disease but something, or someone, taking out Lucy’s blood, and him using his skills of planning a hunt which we will observe in the later entries... listen, I just need everyone to bear in mind he’s not stupid. It’s very easy to write him off as someone whose only contribution is physical strength, but it’s not the case.

I love Dracula because it really shows that the age old tradition of giving men random but identifying nicknames when you’re just talking shit with the girlies™️ dates all the way back the Victorian era
#I am in fact talking about that time Lucy is telling Mina about her proposals and she says “Dr John Seward the lunatic-asylum man”#it was just really iconic of her to choose that nickname#she could’ve just said like the doctor I told you about or something like that but she chose that specific detail about him#dracula#bram stoker#bram stocker's dracula#lucy westenra#mina murray#mina harker#dr john seward#jonathan harker#quincey morris#arthur holmwood

okay so i got a bit hyped up about dracula this week. so now i have a playlist. and some of the songs are like, so perfect, to me, so i wanted to share some highlights.
"broken" by lovelytheband for jonmina. bc, yk. holiest love and all that. he'll follow her into hell. i love it.
"haiku" for by tally hall for jonathan bc i think him writing to mina is a bit of a love language.
"before the summer ends" from dracula: the musical. i didn't like the ending AT ALL lol (it also came way out of left field it seemed to me) but this song was a banger. he'll keep his word and then his heart will break.
"sweet but psycho" by ava max for vampire!lucy. listen i can see the animatic in my head
"team" by lorde. vibes right.
"good ol' fashion nightmare" by matt and kim. bc what is this novel except a good ol' fashion nightmare.
"soldier, poet, king" by the oh hellos. i think this could be about the suitors or just jonathan. i think generally it's used for sets of three, right? so for the suitors, i'd say quincey would be the soldier, jack the poet, arthur the king. but i also really like jonathan and i feel like he can fit all three roles. soldier, because he kills dracula; poet because of the diary; king because he's the protagonist. idk i just think it works.
#i didn't realize how much of this would be jonmina#oops lol#i just rly love themmmm#dracula#jonmina#jonathan harker#mina murray harker#lucy westenra#quincey p. morris#jack seward#arthur holmwood#me making playlists is so funny#bc there are like five songs that just Always Apply#bc the songs are some of my favorites#so they just go on all the playlists lol#talk tag

Quincey Harker in canon ending timeline: "I sure am happy with my life and comfortable enough with myself, and being with my entire family and friends!"
*looming war horrors that will make him question if he wants to keep existing and return to his family as a monster*
*looming tragic romance like three of his namesakes had*
(the former is referring to some The Soldier and the Solicitor panels)
Yuuuuuuuuup
But there's still happiness and healing to be found on the otherside of the storm. Even if life doesn't work out or look the way you think/hope it will, there's still goodness to be found in it
#forgive me for waxing philosophical on this fandom post my mom just lost some chickens so I'm kinda down and trying to pep talk myself#asks#quincey harker#dracula#the soldier and the solicitor
