When I saw this old photograph, I knew that I had to draw the Crew of Light this way, all balancing on top of totally-not-imbued-with-supernatural-power Jonathan. He's normal. It's fine.

I got to sketching out the vampiric Crew of Light's bat forms!

#vampire polycula #dracula bad ending #dracula #kouvei doodles sometimes #crew of light #Fun fact: so almost none of them are actual bat species but a lot of the designs are based on different species #Mina's is heavily based on a flying fox and Quincey's is based on a Mexican free-tailed bat #Also Renfield's bat form is the largest out of all of them and Jack's is the smallest #Jonathan has a letter opener because his kukri is too big for him #vampires

[vickyvicarious]

A take on outside perspectives on the Crew of Light, arranged from most to least suspicious:

Jonathan Harker - I don't think Mina or Mr. Hawkins were spreading the news about his disappearance, so aside from his closest friends it seems like he left on a work trip and then came back months late newly married and acting very different. Much more world-weary but doesn't talk about it. Inherits money and the law firm but immediately just fucks off after being chief mourner at the funeral rather than taking care of what he's been given. Obviously he got sick and then his boss died and it's very sad, but someone said they saw him wandering around London buying drinks with various workmen and there's a lot of paperwork to be done here at the firm! Not to mention, was that him scribbling away into that notebook on the train? Couldn't have been, Jonathan was always a friendly and mild-mannered man, and that person had a dangerous aura and a very large knife, not to mention shockingly white hair. Still, he looked just like Jonathan...

Arthur Holmwood - The poor young Lord Godalming had had a very trying end of summer to be sure. That said, he has responsibilities as the new Lord. He only spent a few days at home mourning his father and fiance before leaving on the evening of what was meant to be his wedding night and coming back deeply shaken. Then he went off again the next morning and came back far worse, staring at his trembling hands, sobbing behind closed doors. The third time he left, he hasn't come home, but his messages are progressively odder. He's spending money all over the place, in very odd ways. He's hiring people for unusual jobs, he's sticking his nose in all sorts of people's business, what is going on with him? It's probably the bad influence of his American friend.

Jack Seward - Hennessey has been sort of wondering when his boss would have a mental break. He's been looking more and more exhausted/making questionable decisions over the past few months, and everyone knows he was first rejected by, and then failed to save the life of, the girl he loved. Also, sometimes he phonograph diaries with his door open; the man is sad. The loss of his most interesting patient appears to have been the final straw, and now he's gone off on some sort of hopefully healing vacation with all his odd friends and that professor he's always raved about. It's pretty inconvenient timing but hopefully he gets some rest.

Mina Harker - She obviously has friends other than Lucy but they don't seem as close. So the sudden marriage abroad is a little surprising but then again she and Harker have always been mad for one another, and apparently he's gotten promoted so it makes sense. Quitting her job is expected, and her withdrawal from much public life for the period right after her wedding/when her husband is either very busy or going mad, only makes sense. A little worrying that she hasn't been writing lately but not too alarming, especially given her best friend's abrupt death.

Van Helsing - With the many hats this man wears, frequent and unpredictable travel doesn't seem out of the ordinary for him. Nor does going down an esoteric research binge or being out of touch for a while. The garlic flower orders were a little odd, admittedly, but hey, easy profit. He probably had some kind of experimental treatment in mind. Maybe he has a unique private patient.

Quincey Morris - No one who knows Quincey has any idea what he's up to at any given moment, unless they are physically in the same room as him. Sometimes not even then. Equally, no one who knows Quincey will find "visited a friend in London, fell in love, got rejected, hung out for a while, started shooting bats, went vampire hunting with some new bosom friends" difficult to believe coming from him.

Been thinking about the children that Lucy bit and wondering, were there any lingering effects of their experience?

Seemingly none of them were fed on enough times to worry about being turned into child vampires, and with Lucy and Dracula killed they assumedly wouldn't be at risk even if they were.

But beyond strange nightmares and muddled memories of their abduction by 'The Bloofer Lady', and the faint scars on their necks, do any of the children start being able to maybe See things they couldn't before? Are any of them just a little stronger or faster?

If it could happen to Jonathan after all...

And do they somehow find each other later? The other children who were taken and had this strange experience none of them were ever able to make sense of? And try to work out together just what happened to all of them that left them slightly Off?

Do the Crew of Light ever go back to check on any of them?

[dizzyhslightlyvoided]

yeah I feel like the fact that zero (0) people in the Drac Attack Crew realized that Renfield was trying to protect them from the Count -- not even Jonathan caught on -- is just sort of authorial fiat, really.

"I want you to know me, here and now, as intimately as Jonathan knows me - as only a lover knows his beloved. That way you will all have knowledge of me, full knowledge, as I truly am; you will know my most intimate self, as it truly is. And so, if it should be that in the course of our mission, I grow changed, and I reach out to you lasciviously or speak to you voluptuously - you will know it is not my true self. Thus you may protect me from myself, when I am unable to do so; and you may be forearmed with the knowledge to protect yourselves also."

"We have learned to believe, all of us—is it not so? And since so, do we not see our duty? Yes! And do we not promise to go on to the bitter end?"

Each in turn, we took his hand, and the promise was made. Then said the Professor as we moved off:—

"Harem Hooligans?... Huddle."

This entry has left me with need of filling out the missing scenes. Like everyone returning from their tasks and reuniting with each other. Art moaning about the local public transport. Quincey and Jonathan giving eachother A Look that says don't worry we'll catch up with him. Van Helsing telling everyone what they concluded while praising Mina all along. Jonathan reacting to Mina being lucid for the first time in a week.

YES EXACTLY

I know its true to the nature of epistolary writing but I'm really craving the omniscient voice right now that tells us all the things the polycule are doing when they aren't writing about it.

Like you said, what happened when everyone reconvened later in the evening, and seeing Van Helsing share how amazing Mina is. I love the idea that they try to have breakfast and dinner together like a real family.

Also...why do people always try to re-write the entire novel into making it edgier or whatever when we could also write about the softer moments in the book, hm!

After over two weeks without posting anything, I finally polished up an old draft! It's a companion piece to my earlier fic "Waiting:" the week in Varna told through Arthur's perspective. (No warnings, rated Teen.)

We both seem in good spirits; I think we make an effort each to cheer the other; in the doing so we cheer ourselves.

This is a recurring theme. Even on some of the toughest days, at least one or two people will try to be cheerful, or the whole group will set aside their troubles for a music night or a nice breakfast, etc. And sure, a lot of it is just pretending, but even the pretending helps in the end. By interacting with one another, by focusing on things other than just the horrors around them or their solemn duty or whatever, they are getting a desperately needed break. And it always comes about because of worry for one another.

I just... it's like the opposite of what happened with Lucy and her mother earlier, where pretending things were fine so as not to worry others backfired so horribly. Everyone knows the truth now. They aren't lying to one another, but they're lying with them or at least pretending briefly to try and ease their burdens. And in doing so, they often ease some of their own.

Arthur stayed up all night to let Jonathan sleep, and paid to make sure Mina and Van Helsing could travel not just swiftly but in comfort. Mina tries to cheer Van Helsing up and he responds cheerfully for her sake and they both end up feeling better. Quincey bought Mina a typewriter. It goes on and on, all the things that show how much they love one another, the ways they try to make sure no one falls too deep into despair.
