I'm not doing dracula daily (I would love to but my brain is broken, can't read) but living vicariously though the Tumblr book club and remembering Dracula was published 1897 (during my favorite fashion decade) I had the urge to sketch some of the characters in 1897 fashion styles. I simply had to give Dracula long and wavy hair because that's the correct and Objectively The Best character design.

Also sapphic Mina and Vampire!Lucy as a treat.

So it turns out that

a queer reading of Bram Stoker’s Dracula

is literally just reading

Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

This post on Dracula Daily reminded me of a similar analysis about Carmilla that a Spanish expert on Victorian and old-timey lesbians made on Twitter.

Women in the 19th Century anglosphere were expected to have a Very Best Girlfriend. The perception of the friendship changed over the years and what once was well perceived turned into sin. But for decades, good women had a Best Girlfriend with whom to hold hands, hug, kiss and say "My dear" (think Mina and Lucy).

This, obviously, covered many lesbian relationships because well, that's just how women are with each other (think Anne Lister who did this lesbianly out in the open and still nobody batted an eye). This is also why some historians are careful to speak about two women living together: they may or may not have been lesbians and unless there is proof of sexual encounters (say a trial, or a local scandal. Or a diary), it is safe to assume they were just Very Good Friends.

From this idea came the Boston Marriage concept. Two women who didn't want to depend on men, who didn't want to get married but still wanted to live independent lives and thrive in their professional work would go on to live together. Again, some were lesbians, many were not.

In this context, enter Carmilla. Carmilla and Laura have a Very Good Friendship from the beginning. Laura is presented as isolated and lonely in a castle (also because she can't make friends with her servants or other village girls her age, they are not in her social class so they do not exist). She is told a friend of her father's is coming with her daughter and she is thrilled by the possibility of Having a Friend.

Said Friend comes unexpectedly, not in the form of that daughter, but in the form of an unexpected guest: Carmilla. Carmilla seduces Laura and there are very explicit scenes between the two of them who leave no space to imagination. They are Very Much Lesbians.

The horror comes from how obvious it is. Yes, women had that kind of friendship with each other. Yes, maybe they did these things. But no, never out in the open, so clearly. Carmilla is not scared of being found out as A Lesbian, and she is also not ashamed. Laura is very naive and has doubts but also gets along with it in her naivete.

What if the Very Good Friend of Your Wife/Daughter did that? What if her advances were as obvious and carefree as those of men are with women?

Again, part of the horror, mirroring Dracula being masculine and Jonathan being feminine, comes from Carmilla being masculine in a feminine sphere. It all happens inside the castle where Laura (so typically feminine: naive, young, good-natured, always under surveillance yet always alone, always at home) lives, inside the room where she sleeps. While it happens in private spaces, it is for everyone to see to the point that it becomes obvious for everyone. Laura is suddenly not sleeping at night and Carmilla sometimes is not in her room at night either.

No wonder vampires are the domain of homosexuals if the two main original vampire characters are like this.

"I was sorry to notice that my clumsiness with the safety-pin hurt her... When I apologised and was concerned about it, she laughed and petted me, and said she did not even feel it."

dracula (1992) is literally such a real one for giving us that minaxlucy kiss though, i mean,

when i first saw this movie i was like there’s NO way that’s accurate to the text, but i enjoy it nonetheless. BUT LO AND BEHOLD, THEY’RE HORNY FOR EACH OTHER IN THE BOOK TOO
