#fictional character asks

12--a character you love who is under-appreciated

imma cheat and say JinYeong from City Between because more people need to read the series therefore not enough people currently have read the series and thereby learned to appreciate him :D

but maybe also jane foster from the marvel movies...I'm first and foremost a darcy lewis stan but thor/jane was my first marvel ship so I have a tender spot for her

Aw, thanks💕! Most careful and appropriate choices ever! In fact, people around me think I’m a bit dotty; unusual interests, random facts about lizards, controversial topics... that sort of stuff 😅

 Sometimes I’m also like Hermione, in the sense that, in addition to what you said, we value rules and logic in the same way. We also have a true passion for knowledge and studying. Besides, I think we share the same personality type (INTP). As you said, it’s a bit of her vibes: for example, I’m too shy to put up my hands to answer to just any question in front of many people, even if I happen to know the answer. Actually, I should be a bit more like her...

Favorite thing about them: How he, at first, starts as a cold and calculating villain, and them slowly, as his apetite for blood becomes more and more strong, he becomes more close to a wild beast, a force of nature that must be eliminated at any cost. Also, specially while doing his affably evil performance at the start of the story,  the Count is conscious that he has at least some power, and you can see that he really prides himself of and enjoys this power. Wich makes him even more fun to read and/or watch.

Least favorite thing about them: His image of misunderstood tragic and brooding romantic hero, that has become popular with fans due to more recent theater and movie adaptations.

Three things i have in common with them: 

I break mirrors.

Can sometimes be very antissocial.

I don’t supper (just on hollidays).

Three things i don’t have in common with them:

A perfect english.

Money and nobility title.

Magical powers and imortality.

Favorite line:  “Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make”!

brOTP: I don’t think he has any friends. He only wants people around to serve him as his slaves and, later, food.

OTP: He already has three wives, i don’t think he needs more.

nOTP: With Abraham Van Helsing, Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray Harker and Renfielf.

Random Headcanon: Knowing that he was inspired by a Shakespearean actor (Sir Henry Irving), i believe that Count Dracula is a huge fan of Shakespeare’s plays (wich may helped him learn his english), specially Coriolanus, Hamlet, Macbeth and Titus Andronicus.

Unpopular Opinion: I like him better as the classic villain he is in the book, the Bela Lugosi 1931 movie and the Christopher Lee Hammer Horror and Jesus Franco movies, and hope that the next adaptations that will (inevitably due to the book being on public domain) come return to this version of the character, instead of keep trying to make Dracula a tragic brooding romantic hero.

Song i associate with them: Modest Mussorgsky’s operatic version of Night on Bald Mountain

Favorite picture of them:

Shakespearen actor Sir Henry Irving, Bram Stoker’s boss, who was the inspiration for the character of Count Dracula. Stoker actually wanted to turn Dracula into a theater production with Irving in the title role. But for some reason, Irving just ignored the idea. This has become one of the biggest examples of “What could have been” in Pop Culture.

Mas Schrek as his “copyright friendly” german version Count Orlok, from the 1922 movie Nosferatu, directed by F. W. Murnau. Murnau and his team choosed to change his name from Dracula to Orlok in a try to avoid being sued by Stoker’s widow, who at the time held the copyright of the novel. It didn’t worked, she saw the similarities, sued and the judges ordered the film to be destroyed. Thankfully, surviving copies of it were found in the 1960s. Nowadays, both 1922′s Nosferatu and the Dracula novel are on the public domain for everyone to enjoy.

Bela Lugosi posing for the 1927 Broadway production of Hamilton Deane’s Dracula, the first time he portrayed the character that, for better and worst, would define his career. Lugosi would go on to say that playing Dracula was, for him, like playing Hamlet.

Christopher Lee after making another victim in Jesus Franco’s Count Dracula (1970). To this day the only version of the character to have the big mustache mentioned in the book.

Oh @foolofabookwyrm 😭😭 I’m so honoured with the Silmarillion reference and to someone who was so focused on her family and their welfare.
