Vampire familiars are so fucking interesting by the way. Both in a Watsonian 'who are you, what brought you here, why do you STAY in this position, what keeps you' way and a Doylist ''how did we go from R. M. 'tried to take down Dracula with his bare hands when he realized he was getting scammed' Renfield to the current common interpretation of vampire familiars as complete pushovers' way

#vampire thoughts #classic lit #because lets be real im mostly thinking about renfield #noone tell me if there's a familiar in the vampyre or carmilla i havent gotten to read those yet im assuming he is the first one <3 #the answer to my rhetorical question is that most media following dracula 1931 tends to take more inspiration from that than the book #and then from eachother jsdf so you get things like the renfield 2023 movie where renfield is literally just jonathan harker #but he also eats bugs jksdfs
