Things you should know about the original Dracula:

blogginghaley:

  • serious mustache game
  • kinda a werewolf for a bit until bram stoker forgot about it
  • can crawl down the side of a building, head first. stoker claims this is lizard like, i think it’s more like spiderman
  • apparently has magic clothes? because as he is doing said spiderman crawl down his castle, his cloak is spread out like wings. sir, that is not how gravity works
  • master of disguises. and by master i mean casually hides as a ginger sometimes
  • can turn into: a bat, a dog, and dust?
  • looks super old, has a blood feast, looks younger
  • needs tons of dirt to sleep on. luckily that dirt never actually ruins his clothes. most likely because they are all magical?
  • does his own chores. mostly because everyone in transylvania KNOWS HE IS A VAMPIRE AND AVOIDS HIM. so no servants for this count. 
  • sometimes can be in the daylight? depending on stoker’s mood i think?
  • bites people in a way that makes zero sense. he leaves two marks? how??? does he not use his bottom teeth?????
  • stoker sometimes just forgot what he already wrote so good luck with this mess

Daniel : So there are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula?

Louis: Fictions, my friend. The vulgar fictions of a demented Irishman.

Dracula’s whole “The children of the night! What music they make!’ thing is a lot funnier if you take as canon Stoker’s notes that vampires are insensible to music. Cause then he’s not trying to be all poetic and gothy, he might just not be able to distinguish between the crying of his lupine minions and whatever those goshdarn mortals churn out on their new-fangled pianofortes and all.

i say we, VC fandom, collect money and buy it and go live there

mysterieuxpersonnage damned-and-fallen what’s going on? couldn’t afford your mortgage??

“Mortgage? Hah.. I never lived there, it’s just a smoke screen as you say, and it keeps the tourists away from my real abode, but perhaps all of us Draculesti and other children of the night should ‘chip in’ and buy it, imagine the parties…”

“ what parties indeed! think of the clean up….and who is gonna get called? the order…”

I love this.
