Regressor! R.M Renfield (From both the 2023 movie and "Dracula" 1931) Headcanons :D Mostly vent/angsty stuff, but there's some happier ones at the end
while he hasn't really aged both physically or mentally since that night, but he knows that sometimes he feels younger, though unsure of why. It's only in the rare instances where he's alone however, because god knows what would happen if Dracula found out.
at first, he doesn't even recognize it's happening. Perhaps it's his mind playing tricks on him, or Dracula putting visions in his head, but he finds himself slipping away. To a time when he was a young boy hopelessly in love with the woman who'd be his wife. the bittersweet joy cuts him harder now than it ever had.
his mind works quickly to shut these feelings, this wanting to be rid of his mortal troubles; away. He just can't, if for not the obvious reason, then for his sanity. And in pure despair and confusion, the younger, childike boy that takes over feels like a distant memory.
he tries to remember the stiff, yet warm feeling that was his childhood home. Not much is clear as he watches families pass on through time. and as a result, he knows that there is neither a place where he belongs in that dichotomy, nor a time where he'll get it again.
but he wants it. so badly. he wants so badly to feel the warmth of another human being, the gentle yet firm praise of a father that isn't shrouded in cruelty or manipulation. the stolen books he buries himself in fill that gap somewhat because at least the characters can experience that, even if he can't.
the years of delivering undying servitude towards his master have him wondering if he's really deserving of this. After all the lives he'd taken out of survival, should he really be feeling this way? But, the brain doesn't always respond in the way we want it to. The child doesn't understand, and Renfield can't force him to. Not in this state. Yet, he still struggles to let himself feel it.
he doesn't sleep at night. too haunted by nightmares and his mind thinking racing with every little thought. Instead, he lets his hands take over, focusing on something other than his past. he draws, plays the few piano pieces he remembers from his childhood, really, just anything where he can create something. Something that's real.
if he wasn't already a sensitive soul, then he most certainly is now. Anger, sadness, regret, fear all overcome him at a sudden moment. one would think he was losing his mind, but in reality, the boy's finally letting himself feel. Even if that results in hoarse, gut-wrenching "tantrums" or crying at the kindness he's finally given by another person after almost a century.

Day 10: Make A Moodboard Based On Another Regressor's Blog
Tumblr media
based on @buttercupagere! it might seem a bit disjointed but i wanted to include everything i've noticed since i found their blog.
with their name and favorite color being Indigo, wanted to include some of those deep blues; favorite animal being sharks; Eddie Munson as a favorite CG; Bluey as their favorite show; and they seem to enjoy older books, wanting to see more classic lit agere posts.
buttercup flowers were an obvious choice, the bat stuffie going with the Eddie CG bit, and they mentioned in an older post about liking cupcakes, so i picked some pink and yellow ones to match the Fluttershy icon. hope this makes sense and isn't just Too Much ^^;

Lauren Gunderson is the most-produced living playwright this past year.  Her work has been seen in this part of the world at WAM Theatre (Emilie,) Shakespeare & Co. (The Taming,) and Aglet Theatre Company (Silent Sky.)  Chester Theatre Company in Chester MA is currently presenting her I and You, filled with laughter and poignancy.
Caroline (Lilli Hokama,) a high school senior in need of a liver transplant, is confined to her home, preferring to stay in her bedroom.  Having suffered through a series of illnesses her entire life, she is a fatalist and has willingly accepted that she will soon die.  She is paid a surprise visit by another student, Anthony (Paul Pontrelli,) whom she does not know, and who informs her that they are supposed to be working together on a project about the poet Walt Whitman for their American lit. class.  Due tomorrow.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Their initial meeting is adversarial, she being contentious and rude, while he tries to be sociable and charming, but his main concern is to finish a triptych poster and to prepare oral presentations (which she will record.)  The assignment is to explore Whitman’s use of the pronouns “I” and “you” in his classic Leaves of Grass.  Paul reads excerpts from the book, and Caroline, being virtually ignorant of Whitman, reluctantly allows herself to be touched by his poetry.
Throughout the book, which is constructed of several poems he had written over many years, Whitman’s thoughts change as he grows older.  Though he extols the body and the material world in some works, he also praises the role of the mind or the spirit.  A perspective Anthony holds dear.
“Clear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.”
He is concerned with living the life one now has, something Caroline has unwillingly accepted.
“There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor anymore youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.”
And he muses over life and death, events that Caroline has pondered.
“Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born?
I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.”
As the day goes on Caroline and Paul slowly reveal their lives to each other… their beliefs,  family structures, the music they prefer, what the future holds for them.
Gunderson’s dialogue sounds prosaic, especially in this case where the central characters are teen-agers.  But the exchanges, as pedestrian as they may be, move the play and characters forward.   The banter between them is realistic and is typical  of what one would hear in a high school corridor, including the four-letter words.  But that, too, defines these two young people.
The actors are flawless. Pontrelli’s Anthony is charming with an ingratiating smile and winning personality.  Yet he is earnest in his need to complete the assignment and to make it easy for Caroline to participate, but she has built huge walls around her.  Hokoma’s Caroline fights to protect her solitude and to maintain her distance, trying not to allow Anthony or Whitman to touch her emotions or intellect.  Indeed, the poet is an unseen character.
The play has been directed by Kristin van Ginhoven, artistic director of WAM. The pace never flags as we are caught up in the adolescents’ evolving relationship.  She makes sure their conversations, which bounce between lightness and profundity, are examples of sharp timing and show growing emotional awareness.  Van Ginhoven moves her actors easily within the confines of Juliana von Haubrich’s typically cluttered teen-age bedroom.
Stella Giulietta Schwartz has the actors in contemporary dress… she in sweats, he in windbreaker and jeans.  Lighting by Lara Dubin and sound by Tom Shread add to the reality of the moment and the surprise ending that will leave you with an emotional jolt.
This is a beautifully written, affecting production.
I and You runs through July 9.  For tickets: 413-354-7771
Chester Theatre Company presents I and You by Lauren Gunderson; Directed by Kristen van Ginhoven; Cast: Lilli Hokama (Caroline), Paul Pontrelli (Anthony); Scene design: Juliana von Haubrich; Lighting design: Lara Dubin; Costume design: Stella Giulietta Schwartz; Sound design: Tom Shread; Stage Manager: Keri Schultz; Running Time: Ninety minutes; no intermission; Chester Theatre Company, Town Hall Theatre, Chester, MA; From 6/28/2017 – 7/19/2017

leonard bast as a caregiver <3
"hello, little one. oh goodness - you are so precious, sincerely, you are. whatever shall we do today? i do think you will enjoy reading some books. of course i mean i will read them to you, you're only a child, and too small to read them by yourself. it's quite alright now. you mustn't cry - not when it is such a beautiful day outside. i would so like to take you on a walk if you don't mind. i can hold your hand so you don't wander off and get lost. but i will show you the very best field full of the prettiest bluebells. come - adventure awaits."
this is the most self indulgent thing i've ever done, i think. there's basically zero non-agere content out there for howards end, so i highly doubt there's a market for agere content. oh well! leonard is such a sweet guy, and i would love love love to have him as my cg. he definitely picks flowers for you. and takes you for walks, and to stargaze :0 and he reads you books, and writes poetry for you!
howards end (the novel, movie, & miniseries) is my hyperfixation, i love it sososo much. it's rlly good!! very vintage cottagecore academia vibes, with a fair sprinkling of romance. but trigger warning for poverty and for death. :(
