I keep seeing people say they "don't see" Dracula's antisemitism (and racism, but as I am a white Jew, this post is about antisemitism - there are other, better analyses about the racism present in the text, which are written by people who are not me, some of which I have reblogged if you care to find them)

like okay! so you can read about an Eastern European man, famous for drinking blood, being compared to a lizard and plotting to invade Western spaces, repelled by a symbol of Christianity — and not see it? it is a privilege to be able to read this book without immediately seeing the antisemitism in it.

it is no one's fault for not being trained to pick up on these stereotypes/dogwhistles. if you have read this book before without spotting the antisemitism, that is NOT a moral failing. but if you have seen/heard Jewish people calling out the antisemitism in this book, it is pretty fucking rich to remain ignorant of where that is present in the text. do your research or stop posting about not getting it.

this being tumblr, there's obviously been an emphasis on homoerotic readings of the text, which makes it worth noting here the ways in which homophobia and antisemitism overlap in the character of Dracula himself, considering the history of both Jewish and gay men being emasculated/feminized. this is an instance where intersectionality is crucial as an analytic lens, to fully understand the social and historical context of the text.

you do not need to center your readings of a text on its bigotries. but if you do not at least understand where they are present, you run the risk of perpetuating them yourself.

Edit: if you're about to add on about the lizard thing originating later, please check the notes [EDIT: HERE], as I have already responded to this! Thanks.

Note to self: If I ever publish my vampire story, use this post as a reference of what the cover of the first edition should look like to make it a pillar of vampire literature.  

#I absolutely refuse to believe this is a coincidence. I do not know what dots I've connected but boy did I connect them. #Also something something the white and black in IWTV symbolise something something about her vampires' humanity. #Anyone who knows the meaning of a yellow cover in the room? #Also btw I claim the right to prove this theory with my own story get your own conspiracy theory. #the vampire chronicles #vampire chronicles #tvc #vc #the vampire chronicles by anne rice #anne rice #interview with the vampire #interview with the vampire anne rice #iwtv #iwtv first edition #I couldn't find concensus on whether the iwtv cover is yellow or gold but the theory still stands. #Dracula #Dracula by bram stoker #dracula bram stoker #bram stocker's dracula #bram stoker #Dracula first edition #Yellow red black white ig lmao you thought. #EDIT: #oh what an idiot right #vampire #vampires #vampiric #goth #goth literature #goth books

I’ve just finished a reread of The King in Yellow. The edition I read had a bunch of classroom questions at the end and god these are stupid “what do YOU think yellow symbolizes?” Like what they want some poor kid to just guess? "Oh yellow reminds me of sunshine and piss :)" Well you can't trick me I know too many useless facts!

If you've spent as much time as I have reading obscene trash informative and educational literature, you know that in the Victorian era, pulp books were published with yellowish covers because the cheap paper of the time had a yellow tinge to it, so yellow caught on as a symbol of sensational literature in general. Yellow was the colour of the lurid, the immoral, the transgressive. It was associated with the Decadent movement (which most of the short stories in The King in Yellow are about) whose main periodical in England was called "The Yellow Book." There are a lot of strange and ambiguous things in The King in Yellow but this is not one of them. It's really frustrating for me to watch the Cthulhu-industrial complex pretend there's no context for this novel!

#this is why the first printing of Dracula had a yellow cover btw #based on the foreword and annotations I'm not convinced the editors of this edition know the answer to their own question frankly #original post #the king in yellow

happy dracula straw hat day

#art #artists on tumblr #dracula daily #dracula #someone in the tag mentioned summer straw hat season and let me tell you #the revelation that the straw hat was likely a boater was like lightning from on high #the heart shaped sunglasses edit was necessary because he actually kinda looks good in the first one #and that was NOT the point of this exercise

Twitter had a thing and I was compelled to make designs for both of these two on the spot just for this meme lmao my two favorite british men on a no good very bad trip involving kidnappings, medical malpractice and an unhealthy dose of the horrors <3

#dracula daily #dracula #philza #qsmp philza #philza fanart #qsmp #ph1lza #dracula fanart #qsmp fanart #that's probably enough #posting here for the dracula girlies <3 #and the philza girlies too i guess🙄 /joking #qphil and jonathan harker share a lot in common now that i think about it #1. british 2. kidnapped 3. went on a trip that was meant to be nice only to get traumatized 4. the horrors 5. malewife #there are more i could list but i'll spare you for now #shey art #edit: oh also ignore the weird squiggly stuff on the drawing #i glazed it (used glaze to protect it from being effectively used by ai) because i posted this to twitter first #and that site scrapes everything posted there so. y'know kind of had to glaze it

Crowley thought it would be hilarious to tell Aziraphale about Dracula Daily and watch him make a fuss about such a horrible lack of respect for a book. It turned out Aziraphale wasn't outraged, but curious about this new way to experience a well-known novel. He used his irresistible power of persuasion until Crowley signed up for him and now the demon has to reluctantly check his phone every day and let him know if there are any news about his good friend Jonathan Harker.

#needless to say there's a perfectly functional first edition available in the bookshop #but it wouldn't be the same you know #yes I'm having a blast following Dracula Daily #wait till Aziraphale learns about the memes #Crowley's never thwarted himself so bad #headcanons #Aziraphale #Crowley #ineffable husbands #self sabotage #Dracula Daily #my stuff

The slime Jonavis collection has arrived!

#hotel transylvania #monster johnny and ericka au #jonathan loughran #johnny loughran #mavis dracula #jonavis #mavis x johnny #my edits #I thought Johnny was gonna be the harder of the two to edit #because it took a long time getting the hands and feet right on the very first pic #but actually no he’s slightly easier #compared to Ericka who has to have her snake hair arranged in a certain way unless they’re the snakes that stick up #for reference ​I have around 5 or 6 snake images to play around with while Johnny doesn’t have anything as elaborate #and yeah sometimes his spots move around like a lava lamp
