What we need 0 of: sexy Dracula, Mina as Drac’s reincarnated lover, Lucy being blamed for her murder because she’s ‘too sexy’ and ‘she wanted it’, blatant Jonathan erasure, blatant Quincey erasure.
What we need 100 of: the Harker Supernatural Detective Agency.
Starring:
Mina ‘I’ve got a typewriter and now that’s you’re problem’ Harker, following the paper trail of every monster that dares to step into her country.
Jonathan ‘Everyone I’ve ever met is my friend’ Harker, buying beers and chatting with all the witnesses to gather up more clues.
Dr. Jack ‘I’m supposed to be the smart one but I’m weirdly good at break-in’s’ Seward, the one who can do whatever science /technology/ B&E that is needed but loses his glasses when they’re on his head.
Lord Godalming, Arthur ‘The Bankroller’ Holmwood, giving them the funds to travel, send wordy telegrams, and buy sexy new all-black vampire-killing outfits each episode.
Quincey ‘The Muscle’ Morris, here to politely tip his hat at passers by and then pop into an alleyway to curb stomp Jack the Ripper or something.
Lucy ‘Everyone would die for her, how does she always end up in these messes’ Westenra, who is the sweet and beloved friend of everyone in this office but somehow remains blissfully unaware of the supernatural nature despite being targeted by nearly every monster of the week.
Guest Starring Prof/Dr/Esq Van Helsing (his title changes every appearance) who rushes in to lore drop and dunk on Seward, smile lovingly at Lucy, then rushes back off to Amsterdam.
And if it absolutely has to have a reincarnated character, then it’s not Mina; Van Helsing is the reincarnation of Dracula’s ex-spouse who constantly rolls in to ruin his plans whenever he shows up.
“if you consume enough problematic media then there will be a point in which you become desensitized and replicate the behavior”
right, that’s why all my media studies professors moonlight as serial killers
half-serious quip aside, what you’re saying is that you think people have the inherent moral fiber of overcooked pasta and if you don’t spoonfeed them pre-digested purity, they will revert to their baser nature of amoral, immoral, cruel and murderous beasts
which, frankly, means you’re a dehumanizing cunt
This is almost 1:1 the argument of ‘If you don’t have God, how can you be moral?’ Execpt, this is about consuming fiction.
How can you leave this absolute Mic drop in the tags
tbh i kinda hate the “lol tumblr users are old and thats why we’re in pain” jokes
like. no. you arent old, youre fucking 30, and if youre in constant pain there is something wrong and you may be able to actually DO something about it if you acknowledge it!!!!
like yeah the only medical care a lot of people have access to is worse than useless but instead of pretending its fine and normal we could be sharing resources and figuring shit out!!!
this is super important
I’m a lot older than 30, and my history includes motorcycle accidents, getting shot, tearing tendons, breaking bones, dislocating a shoulder, etc
yet I only feel pain when I do things that I can easily avoid, neglect to do mobility work after hard physical activity, use bad ergonomics, or just do something stupid
if you’re relatively young and feeling pain unrelated to a physical injury, talk to someone who’s an expert in physiology or physical therapy
if you have good health insurance, get thee to a doctor or a physical therapist who can diagnose what’s going on and put you on a treatment or maintenance program
living with unnecessary pain can lead to or mask chronic illness
pain is a warning sign – understand what you’re being warned about
