Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) by Mel Brooks
Casting by Lindsay Chag & Bill Shepard
Dracula: does not eat or drink
Jonathan "it's probably fine" Harker: He must be a very peculiar man!
Dracula: has no reflection
Jonathan "probably nothing" Harker: that was startling
Dracula: literally lunges at his throat
J. "Crucifix Beads" Harker: !?!?!??
I lowkey want one of those "live laugh love" type house signs that says "come freely, go safely, and leave something of the happiness you bring" for the entryway of my house someday. I think it'd be hilarious, but it's also lowkey a nice greeting in its own way, if perhaps mildly ominous... What a nice way to set a welcoming vibe! ;)
Okay, so I'm finally catching up on Dracula Daily (I got like a month behind somehow, which I know sort of defeats the "daily" of it, but I'm working on it) and anyways I'm just now reading Jonathan's June 29 entry, and--
"The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me"
Did Dracula just blow our boy Jonathan a kiss??
I suppose it's likely some other old-fashioned gesture that I'm not familiar with, but then again, it could well be the blowing-you-a-kiss gesture in a mocking way ("with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of." I do love that description.) I feel like there's something I might be missing here but right now I'm definitely picturing Dracula blowing Jonathan a wicked little kiss.
So, is the guy with whom Lucy wishes she could set Mina up the owner of the same insane asylum as the one across the street from the castle Jonathan found for our friend the Count, or are there just a lot of insane asylums around in 1890s London?
When Dracula was giving his big speech about all the battle triumphs of his family over the years and he mentioned "that great shame of my nation, the shame of Cassova," I lowkey read it as "Casanova" at first and I thought that Dracula was just throwing shade at his weird horny cousin who slept around a lot. I was like "oh I didn't know they were related" until I looked at the word closer, lol.
Jonathan looking through Dracula's library, listing books he has: "and—it somehow gladdened my heart to see it—the Law List."
Jonathan, you're such a nerd. I love you.
You know, I didn't get an email from my new friend Jonathan Harker today! He's been emailing me every day of his trip so far. Do you think I should be worried? I wonder if something strange is going on in that castle...
Nah, I'm being silly, he's probably just busy with legal documents and so forth. I'm sure everything is fine.
mina; reading jonathan’s diary: why does it say here the count calls you baby girl
jonathan: how about we stop talking for a little while

AITA for throwing my houseguest's shaving glass out the window?
For context I (don't worry about my age M) have a solicitor (22 M) currently staying at my home for business purposes. For for the purpose of this post I will call my solicitor J.
J arrived a few days ago now and has been very well behaved staying in a small section of my home and being more then willing to answer any of my questions about the purchase and his fascinating home country (England).
This morning I went to visit him in his quarters to let him know breakfast was ready when I walked on him shaving. Now for personal medical reasons I will not discuss here have banned all mirrors and reflective objects from my home. It appeared through Johnathan brought his own mirror though. I accidentally startled him when I entered and he cut himself while shaving which set off my prior mentioned medical issues. This resulted in my lunching at him but I didn't actually touch him so it is no matter.
Now here is where I may be the asshole. Once I had collected my self I throw his mirror out the window and down a cliff face into the forest below. It was pure impulse. I played it off as taking revenge on it for making him cut him self and called it "a foul bauble of man's vanity". We moved on from the incident quickly but now J looks a bit uncomfortable around me.
I feel it should have been obvious from the lack of reflective surfaces in my home that mirrors are not allowed, but I technically never said it. I only told him not to go into locked rooms or fall asleep outside of his room. But who even brings a mirror with them when they travel? Anyway what do you all think, was I am asshole but tossing him mirror or just taking care of my self because of my medical issues?
Reading Dracula. When does she show up?
The locals trying to warn Jonathan Harker about Dracula like
