Somethjng I was entertaining myself with when the update which contained Dracula's long-winded family history speeches arrived is looking at the language he uses to describe his heritage and the various cultures and groups of people he's talking about bc its NOT how someone contemporarily would have talked about those peoples in the middle ages so like obviously the doylian explanation is that Bram Stoker is a white western european anglophone living in the late 1800s and has bought fully into Scientific Racism Vogue but the funnier watsonian explanation is that Dracula did research on how to sound more Modernly Scientifically Racist when discussing things, to make sure he puts his new English friend at ease

People who have paperbacks which are still in one piece, how do you do it. Like how. Mine's in 4 pieces held together by tape and sheer force of will
