I made this last year when reading Dracula Daily, but I was too much of a coward to post it. Now I am no longer held back by earthly matters such as "reputation".

This is the original text from the book, but wildly misinterpreted. enjoy

dracula is considered a classic because it covers timeless human emotions such as "this food is not good for me but I'll eat it again because it's delicious" and "i ran to the train and of course it was late"

May 3rd, Jonathan Harker’s journal

(Mem., get recipe for Mina.) I asked the waiter, and he said it was called “paprika hendl,” and that, as it was a national dish, I should be able to get it anywhere along the Carpathians.

I had for breakfast more paprika, and a sort of porridge of maize flour which they said was "mamaliga," and egg-plant stuffed with forcemeat, a very excellent dish, which they call "impletata." (Mem., get recipe for this also.)

Recipe blog casually interrupted by nightmares and the howling of wild dogs. I’m sure it’s nothing.

#dracula #dracula daily #jonathan harker #may 3 #my art #clefadryl art #now it's time for the ultimate game! is the paprika really that bad or is jonathan just british?! #either way he wants mina to try it too so it must be yummy #sorry about the queer dreams jonathan. get well soon!

Travels with Jonathan Harker, in pictures

If our good friend Jonathan Harker had sent us some photos along with his lovely email, here's what he might have included. All photos are as close to contemporary as I could find.

Left Munich at 8:35 P. M.:

arriving at Vienna early next morning:

Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets:

We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh:

All day long we seemed to dawdle through a country which was full of beauty of every kind. Sometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals:

sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floods:

The women looked pretty, except when you got near them, but they were very clumsy about the waist. They had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them:

(on the left: the Romanian royal family in peasant cosplay in the early 1900s; on the right, a photoshoot of Romanian national dress in 1868)

It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place:

Bonus: a postcard Jonathan might have picked up for Mina.

Jonathan: "I did not sleep well, though my bed was comfortable enough, for I had all sorts of queer dreams. There was a dog howling all night under my window, which may have had something to do with it--"

Wolf Dracula: *posted outside the window, screaming*

Other wolves: "What the fuck are you doing??"

Wolf Dracula: "Singing my incoming guest a soothing lullaby, slaves."

Vanilla has been in power too long. It has forgotten the original spice that took over tumblr.

[cyrannus95]

seeing as tumblr has seemingly agreed that this next round of dracula daily means our Dear Friend Jonathan is stuck in a Groundhog Day scenario, I need a fic where this actually happens and the events of dracula are changed by it
