All Around Nerd

✨Okay, here’s the thing✨

I enjoy doing tarot readings. I’m no expert (yet), but I like to think I’m fairly good at it. I also need some extra money. So I present to you:

1. A 1-card reading for $3
2. A 3-card spread for $5
3. A full 5-card spread for $10

To keep things simple, I would email over a picture and a quick write-up of the card(s). But if it’d be preferred I’m more than happy to do a zoom call, especially for the longer readings. Just DM me for Venmo information and setting up how and when you’d like the reading. I promise I’m legit, and I would never take advantage of anyone, I care about you all too much 💜 💜💜

The Count literally sent Johnathan out of the room under a pretext, rushed like a madman to clear the dishes, then pretended to be relaxing on the couch casually reading a book of train schedules when Johnathan returned.

Dracula is a comedy

Seeing Dracula Daily start up again is like reuniting with an old friend group, this time with extra party gifts like RE: Dracula. Genuinely a warm feeling, excited to see new boost in content

My favorite thing about rereading this bit of Dracula is that there is SO MUCH vivid character detail you can miss the first time around by seeing Jonathan as just a lens for the English Viewpoint ™ or a mouthpiece for Stoker’s infodumping. While those elements are there, by viewing him as a character in his own right so many details spring to life!

“I went to the library to read every book I could find about the country my work trip is taking me to”— This got skimmed over my first reading as an excuse for Stoker’s scene-painting infodump, but from this angle you have this freshly minted little lawyer SO dedicated to doing his job well and so eager about it that he’s up to his ears in books and maps before he even gets on the train. And this is AFTER STUDYING FOR LAW EXAMS!! This is a studious little nerd and a perfect match for Mina!!

Unfortunately since all his sources are from the British Museum they’re going to be like that, but he’s so eager to learn—and you can see that singleminded dedication that characterizes him showing already.

It also firmly sets why “just turn around!” is something that can’t make any sense in the story’s logic. Not only does his livelihood hinge on this trip, but he’s been studying to prepare himself for any number of cultural differences. If an Englishman turned tail at everything they thought was a “red flag,” they’d never leave the country. He’s still ignorant and naive and ethnocentric, but if you compare him to contemporary British Lit characters he’s comparatively determined to not be close-minded (a theme that will show up again with Van Helsing).
