The flawless plan to kill Dracula
Dracula notices the sign I placed saying “free blood-filled steak”, and decides to follow the trails of signs like that until he gazes upon a tree stump with a sign saying "behind this sign is the steak!" sitting atop it. However, the way there is through a narrow space so he uses his bat form to fly through. Because bats are blind, he relies on echolocation to see. He flies over to it and bites down, only to perish instantly. It is around this time that the signs saying the word “steak” have their Es comically fall off. The stake’s non-pointed end is in the perfect shape of a steak and the pointed end is lodged into the stump, and since stakes kill vampires, I am celebrated along my town for killing Dracula, before being accused of being a witch so then I get tied onto a wooden pole and reveal my true form as a murderous vampire with a witch’s job who has extreme beef with Dracula, but I’m the opposite of him so the villagers just shove a peace of steak into my mouth and I die

Haunt Couture Skullector Edition Draculaura Diary 
7♥January
OMV! It feels like ages since I’ve written in my diary. Un-life has truly been busy these days and I’m barely keeping up. I’m sure my face looks like I’m 2000 years old instead of 1600. I pulled an all-frighter working on my article for the Monster High newspaper, The Gory Gazette, about new trends in vegetarianism, including plant-based meat. I’ve been making fangtastic with Boo-yond Meat and Grim-possible Burgers, though finding taste testers has been a bit of a challenge. My boyfriend, Clawd Wolf, is a werewolf who loves his steaks rare and won’t come near my new recipe for Grim Ghoulash and Count Fabulous, my best bat friend, prefers bugs over veggies. That leaves my Father, Count Dracula, the world’s most famous vampire and lover of all things blood. He doesn’t understand my vegetarianism and at least once a year, I get “The Talk”. Basically, he believes I need to give up being a vegetarian because it is unnatural and un-monster like. So the day he eats one of my recipes is the day I eat double meat screechza with Clawd. Yuck.
11♥January
Yesterday’s Fearleading practice was scarier than Father’s fashion sense. Cleo de Nile was in a monstrous mood and I don’t know who got her all unraveled but we all paid dearly for it. Nobody could understand her complicated Fearamid routine and we all ended up in a heap. Cleo suddenly announced that we’re going to hold a fundraiser for new Fearleading uniforms and needed ideas. I thought we could do a plant-based bake sale but the squad didn’t seem too enthused and so we decided to do a fashion show instead. That’s too bad, the scarrots in my garden would be great for a homemade scarrot bread! Maybe Father would enjoy that instead. While my BFF Clawdeen Wolf was here studying after school, I started a new recipe for booyond sliders with beefsteak tomatoes. Father walked in while I was pulling them out of the skillet and the whole kitchen was super smokey. I tried to get him to try one along with Clawdeen but I might as well have offered him stake-skewered garlic kabobs! He walked out with his fangs bared but I did catch Clawdeen sneaking a second bite. Hehe, I might just get her to join Team VAMP (Vampires Advocating Meatless Proteins) after all.
15♥January
I’m still really confused about what happened today. The day started off perfectly fine until Fearleading practice was suddenly canceled. We were supposed to talk details for the fashion show but Cleo was nowhere to be found. I headed to the Maul with Clawdeen and Frankie Stein to scout outfits for the show and meet Clawd in the Food Corpse for a quick bite. The Food Corpse is so lacking in vegetarian options but they do have really good screechza and spookochinos, so I don’t mind it too much. Anyway, we found this fangtastic boo-tique that had creeperific looks and scarecessories. I wish I could point my Father in the direction of this store. He’s constantly buying me clothes that wer in when he was 1600 but I wouldn’t be caught alive in those clothes. Anyway, I met Clawd afterwards in the Food Corpse and he was in such a weird mood. He got really cagey when I mentioned Cleo’s mood lately and our canceled practice. He quickly changed the subject to my article for the Gory Gazette, so I know something’s wrong. The day Clawd wants to talk the protein count in kidney beans is when I know something is wrong. We basically drove home in silence and he gave me a quick kiss and drove away. Something has got that wolf’s fur all ruffled and I intend to find out.
 21♥January
Normally Clawd will wait with me after school before I attend The Gory Gazette staff meeting. But today he disappeared as soon as the bell rung! I got this really cryptic message from him on my iCoffin about not being able to make it and he would catch up with me later, but he never did. I was in such a bad mood, Father gave me a little kiss on the forehead after he pointed out the grammatical errors in my article. What is going on?
24♥January
Oh my ghoul! Father is in a fearious mood tonight. Turns out, he ate my leftover vegan vampire chili and didn’t realize it until I went to eat it for dinner! It was super spicy and totally vegetarian, two of Father’s pet peeves. I apologized profusely for not properly labeling it but it was too late. I got treated to a mini version of “The Talk” and had to promise to keep my “experiments” on my side of the fridge. Honestly, I think he’s just mad he actually enjoyed a vegetarian meal. There wasn’t one drop of chili left!
28♥January
I WISH I COULD CRAWL BACK INTRO MY BED AND START THIS DAY OVER. I don’t know what happened but somehow my vegetarian trends article didn’t save on my computer and now I have to write the whole thing over by tomorrow afternoon! Frankie is feeling zapped because the 3Scream printer she invented to make clothes for the fashion show is not working. The show and Frankie are literally falling apart at the seams and to make matters worse, Clawd is still being weird! After the day I was having, I had enough and called him out on his behavior. I told him it’s not ok for us to keep secrets from each other and asked him to tell me what was wrong, only that “it’s private and he made a promise to keep everything under wraps”. I got so mad, I stormed out of the creepeteria and ran crying to my locker, totally ruining my makeup. Thank ghoulness Frankie helped me fix my face before class. I hate fighting with Clawd, especially when I don’t even know what we’re fighting about.  
1♥February
Last night was so crazy, I didn’t even have the energy to write in my diary or look at the collection of bugs Count Fabulous gathered to cheer me up. It all started with Clawd leaving me a note on my locker, asking me to meet him after school. We hadn’t really hung out since that day I confronted him in the Creepeteria, so I was a little shocked to see the note. I gently tucked it into my notebook and walked to class with Clawdeen, who thankfully didn’t ask too many questions. Then, Fearleading practice was canceled again and Cleo was nowhere to be found. Cleo never misses a chance to boss us around, let alone cancel practice two times in a row. Even though I was still feeling really down, I conviced the other ghouls to put together a scare package and take it over to Cleo, who obviously needed some cheering up. Clawdeen must have noticed my mood, because she didn’t growl too much and decided to tag along. Since we were going to go to de Niles after school, I wasn’t going to be able to meet Clawd. Part of me felt horrible but the other part was just too upset to care. After gathering a few of Cleo’s favorite things, we landed on her doorstep and the minute she opened the door, I could tell this wasn’t a royal tantrum, something was definitely wrong. She explained that she and Deuce broke up and while Deuce seemed to be doing just fine, she couldn’t bear to face anyone at school. My heart was breaking for her, I hate to see any monster heartbroken, but then she mentioned Clawd! She looked at me and said, “Deuce told Clawd about our breakup and we both asked him to keep this under wraps. Draculaura you’ve got a great boyfriend, we’ve been driving him crazy.” I didn’t even stay to hear the rest of her story. I ran out of there and immediately called Clawd to meet at the Coffin Bean. The second he showed up, I ran and gave him the biggest hug and apologized for being so batty! He looked really sheepish and apologized too. He hated keeping anything from me but he gave his word. I held my hand up to his cheek snuggled into his fur as he wrapped his arms around me. Last night was the first good night’s sleep I’ve had in a while. Thank ghoulness everything is back to normal!
6♥February
The fashion show was total success! Cleo and Frankie worked together to get the 3Scream printer up and running and we were totally able to save the show! It was all claws on deck to pull this show together and it couldn’t have gone better. Even Cleo and Clawdeen worked together to quickly design our looks, which is like trying to mix oil and water or get Father to eat another bowl of veggie chili, hehe. I have the best BFF in the world, Clawdeen totally put together a fangtastic look for me and I can’t stop vamping over it. I mean only a truly fashion forward mind could think of mesh sleeves that double as a fashion statement and UV protection! When I walked the runway, the students of MH went totally bats, even Headmistress Bloodgood gave a little nod of approval! But the best part of all? At the end of the runway was my clawsome boyfriend waiting with the prettiest nightshades and the most gorgeous bouquet of blood oranges I had ever seen. Cleo was right, I really am the luckiest monster ever!

Time to Heal Ch. 4
Tumblr media
This is the last chapter of the story for @joyfuldragondonkeypickle​    Where Dracula helps a stranger in her time of need. Dracula is based off of Christopher Lee’s performance and is not my character. Robin is. Don’t hate but some of this Chapter is set around Christmas. It’s just part of the story. lots of fluff here Hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope you enjoyed the story. 
Robin looks around the kitchen trying to figure out the right meal to make.
“Do you have shrimp?” She asks. Vlad goes into the freezer and pulls out a bag for her. “Yes.” She cheers as she gets to work. Vlad helps her as she makes a surf an turf for dinner. It may be Christmas eve but you can still spoil yourself. Vlad helps sauté the steak as Robin makes a sauce for some noodles as a side dish. Once it’s done they go to the dining room with dishes in hand. A simple salad, noodles with Alfredo sauce, grilled shrimp, and steak. It was delicious to say the least.
“Mmmm…my compliments to the chef.” Vlad smiles at her.
“Thank you for your help too.” She nods.
“You’re welcome my dear. Perhaps you could move in as my chef instead.” He teases.
“I’m not that good.” She says. “Still I have been wanting to cook some Chinese receipts I keep seeing.” She adds.
“Mmm…now I have to admit Chinese takeout is the perfect comfort food.” He says.
“I know right!” Robin gasps in agreement. They finish their meal and decide to save the apple pie for tomorrow. Robin looks and sees a particular decoration hanging up so she calls Vlad over.
“What is it?” He asks. She nervously leans in and kisses his cheek. He blinks in surprise and manages a blush. “Why…why did you do that?” He asks. She points to the doorframe.
“Mistletoe.” She blushes. He hesitates for a moment before he too, kisses her cheek. They’re both blushing hard. “Oh…I got a present for you to open.” She says quickly as they manage to get back to the living room.
“I thought presents were supposed to be tomorrow…and you didn’t have to do that.”
“Well I got the tradition of opening one on Christmas eve and the rest tomorrow.” She explains
“In that case I’ll be right back.” He says. His quick speed allows him a quick return. They both exchange boxes. Vlad opens his and smiles at the robin ornament. Robin gasps at the charm bracelet he gave her. it even has a robin, bat, books, and a rose on it.
“Wow…it’s beautiful.” She gasps and puts it on showing it off right away for him. He smiles in delight.
“I’m glad you enjoy it. Thank you for the ornament.” He says sincerely and puts it close to the top of the tree. “I should get a nest for the little thing.” He says. It does look very cute.
“Well Merry Christmas eve.” She says.
“Yes, Merry Christmas eve to you as well Robin.” Vlad says. They head off to bed not long after and Robin is more excited than she’s ever been for Christmas in a long time.
Xxxxxxxx
She couldn’t help but wake up early the next morning. She sent a few texts to friends and family before getting out of bed and hurrying downstairs and she put her presents for Vlad under the tree. It was still snowing out and everything was covered. A small fire was already started in the den, so she went into the kitchen and made some breakfast. It was just some simple eggs and bacon, but it felt homey.
“Good morning.” Vlad said as he came in. He looked all pristine as usual.
“Good morning, Merry Christmas.” She smiled and she couldn’t help but kiss his cheek again. She hadn’t felt happy like this in a long time.
“Merry Christmas.” He blushes. They enjoy breakfast and it’s so nice and peaceful.
“Here.” She says handing him the presents. He frowns playfully and his smile is genuine when he sees the nice clothes. He even chuckles at the Robin tie.
“I guess I could wear these.” He teases. “Thank you my dear.” He says tenderly. “Now I have something for you.” He says. He takes her back upstairs, taking her hand and guiding her along. “Ok, close your eyes.” He says. She notices that he seems excited she chuckles as she does what he asks. She hears a door open and he leads her inside. “Open.” He says. She looks and sees an office set up. There is a desktop computer as well.
“What’s this?” She asks.
“I made an office for you to help you with your school projects.” He says. She blinks in surprise and turns the desktop on. It’s got all the programs she talked about with him on it. “I had the laptop set up the same way.” He adds.
“You did this for me?” Robin gasps.
“Well yes. I thought it would be helpful. You always complain about having to save time for the labs at school.” He explains.
“Oh Vlad! Thank you so much!” She cries and hugs him. He grunts in surprise and catches himself so he can return the gesture. He really was a good friend. He remembered all the little things. It was so touching. The rest of the day was spent watching some movies and enjoying good food and drink. It was the best Christmas Robin enjoyed in a long time. Vlad wasn’t going to forget this day either.
Xxxxxxx
The rest of winter break was a bit of a blur as Robin worked more hours. She was definitely quitting this job once she graduated. Vlad even helped her polish up resume too. He didn’t press her about staying with him, but she kept it in the back of the mind. She was reluctant to return to the house, but thankfully the end was finally in reach. It was crunch time now. The last semester. Since she kept up with most of her credits she didn’t have a lot of classes and even better that she had Fridays off. She spent more time with Vlad as she often went to his home after school on Thursdays. It brought her some peace to get her school work done before going off to work. It also drove Stephanie crazy because she couldn’t figure out where Robin was going. Robin made sure to talk about rent payment directly with her father which pissed off Stephanie even more, but she couldn’t throw Robin out and if she touched any of Robin’s things she would be in big trouble as well. That didn’t stop Stephanie from being a pain in the ass though. Robin was barely fazed by it. Graduation was coming up in May. She had a paper and a few projects to do for finals. No more final exams. It was such a relief. It took her awhile but she managed to get her nerves up to talk to Vlad.
“I need to talk to you about something.” She says at dinner.
“Is something wrong?” He asks.
“No…I just wanted to talk to you about graduation and stuff.” She says. He happily gives her his full attention. “I was wondering if it was ok that I stay with you for a bit after I graduate.” She asks nervously.
“Of course you can. You can stay as long as you like.” He says sincerely. She smiles in relief. “Did you think I would say no?” He asks concerned.
“No…I know your offer was still open. I was just nervous anyway.” She says. He reaches out and squeezes her hand reassuringly.
“I am Dracula and I welcome you to my house.” He says with a wink. It makes her burst out laughing. He smiles at the sound. He has grown so fond of her and in truth she has too, but she is understandably hesitant. They made the arrangements for her move and she started packing up her room. Her plan was to get everything out after graduation, to which she also invited Vlad and he graciously accepted. The day had finally arrived and she was full of jitters. She couldn’t help it. Vlad had someone pick her up as her car was already full of boxes. She waited around nervously in her cap and gown.
“Hello Robin.” He said coming up to her. She blushes as he hands her a single rose. “Congratulations.” He says proudly.
“Thank you.” She says and hugs him tightly. “This really means a lot to me.” She says.
“You’ve worked very hard. It’s time to celebrate.” He says. She gives him another hug before they separate for the ceremony. She did a little wiggle as she took her diploma and sat back down. It couldn’t end soon enough. Once it was done she raced to find Vlad and get out of there.
“It’s over.” She groaned in relief as they drove to her house.
“I’m proud of you.” He says.
“Really?” She gasps.
“Of course!”
This time he hugs her and she settles in his embrace. She feels comfortable and safe. They get the rest of her things and quickly get her settled into Vlad’s home. It’s such a relief. She feels so happy. She groans as she lays down and smiles. There’s a knock at the door.
“Come in.” She says. Vlad come in with a crystal vase full of roses for her.
“These are for you.” He says settling them on the dresser.
“Awww! I don’t think anyone else has gotten me roses before. They’re beautiful.” She says as she sniffs them. She looks over at Vlad and suddenly her stomach is in knots. His eyes and smile are gentle and caring. They’ve grown so much over the past year. She inches a little closer to him. “Vlad…” She whispers reaching up to him. He leans into her touch and it is he who is hypnotized by her eyes as she reaches up and gently kisses his lips. He wants nothing more than to take her away from this cruel world as he cups her face as they kiss. When they part he looks over her.
“Stay with me please?” Vlad whispers. “I’ll give you everything.”
“I don’t want everything. I just want you.” She says before she kisses him again. It was a newt start now. A start of their new life…together.

The Little Vampire ➡️ The Vampire Brothers Plotbunnies
RuDony    
Tumblr media
GregAdam
Tumblr media
Instead of Gregory getting hit by Rookery’s light, it’s Rudolph.
Gregory is the one who follows him.
Gregory is “19” in a sense
Rudolph is “15” in the same sense.
Adam and Tony are 15 years old.
So aged Up. I don’t know Gregory’s age from 2017 movie so he could be aged up, aged down or whatever here for all I know.
Tony’s parents have been dead for years.
Adam’s family has taken him in, Tony being the first to become Adam’s friend even before Adam got popular due to his “Big foot” gene.
Tony’s into Urban legends and Cryptids so he’s usual hobby is to go hunting for where they’re rumored to hide.
Adam usually comes along to humor him. At least now with his abilities he can make it easier to escape if needed.
Since Gregory was the one not incoherent from injuries sustained, he had the good sense not to return to the catacombs and lead Rookery to where the rest of the clan were.
At the chase though, they ended up crashing into a camp site where Adam and Tony were.
Tony had been psyched to meet actual vampires.
Adam less than psyched, holding the scruff of Tony’s hoodie to prevent him from getting near the two undeads.
Rudolph and Gregory, of course, are wary of the two mortals.
Tumblr media
The wariness was is lessened to an extent when Tony’s quick thinking managed to help lead the monster hunters astray.
Adam and Tony were in Germany together for vacation. There’s been a mixed up so the Harrison parental’s flight is in a week after the boys.
The Airline offered to pay the excess fees I the lodgings since it was fully booked in flights to be adjusted for them to go together.
(I do not know how airlines work so just pretend these things happen lol)
Once they were in the clear, they had to find a place for Rudolph and Gregory to hide. Luckily, Tony found an abandoned crypt the other day while Adam was back at the bed and breakfast talking to his parents.
Adam’s still not yet sure why he’s actually going along with this. If it were up to him, he would’ve let those hunters know about the vampires. But he didn’t want Tony getting mad at him.
Gregory thought it was a good chance to feed on the mortals while they slept after setting a new camp nearby, and be actual vampires for once. (Tony didn’t want to go back in case the vampires disappeared forever before he really got to ask them things).
Rudolph reprimanded him, saying that they’d be captured by now if not for them.
Tony helps the two vampires find something to eat. That’s why even when they found out they’ve been locked in, Gregory and Rudolph couldn’t break out of the crypt, because their vampire super strength was weakened.
Which was good, in retrospect, when Gregory realized it wouldn’t do to cause a scene especially when they’re hiding from vampire hunters.
Adam didn’t know how he felt about having Tony help them, especially when it meant feeding an animals. Almost like a sacrifice and animal abuse.
Then again, it wasn’t so much different from when humans eat hamburgers, steak and ribs.
Until much later, and the two cows they fed on came back alive as sort of vampires too. So in a way, sort of some differences in that front.
While feeding on cows, Gregory and Adam ended up talking. It started with Gregory finally, and officially, giving his thanks for their help in hiding them especially when Rudolph was injured.
Gregory: He’s been my brother ever since, even before we’ve been turned. It gave me such the fright when he got caught by those beams.
Adam: You were humans?
Gregory: Yes. Orphans, victims of a war. Our clan leader found us left for dead, and decided to turn us. We’ve been with the clan ever since.
Adam: Wow that... That’s not what I’ve expected.
Gregory: If your only reference is this Count Dracula Tony goes on about, I’m not surprise. You’ve been friends with him long, I take it?
Adam: Yes. He’s been my only friend until much recently. After I’ve gotten some others when they find that my other abilities cool, but Tony’s the only one who’s been there even before. You could say I kinda see him as a brother too.
Gregory: He is a nice mortal... You’re a nice one too... For a mortal.
Adam: Thanks... I think.
Gregory: Much obliged.
Adam: ...
Gregory: ...
Adam: Hey, I have an idea. If you’re up for it. (refer to this Headcanon)
Meanwhile, Tony and Rudolph are exchanging questions with each other. During this conversation, Rudolph tells Tony that if he ever needed help, he could just whistle and Rudolph would come help, so long it wasn’t day because then the sun would get him.
Tony didn’t have a heart to remind him that he and Adam were only around temporarily.
Once night falls once more, Rudolph takes Tony flying.
Tony: Next question, can you turn into a bat?
Rudolph: Well, yes and no. Vampires can, but not my brother and I; we weren’t born vampires, you see. Only those who are born vampires can turn into bats, so I can’t.
Tony: Vampires can be born?
Rudolph: Hey, it’s my turn to ask something. Why the interest in the undead?
Tony: I just am, I guess. I mean, most people just... Like things, there isn’t usually a story behind it. Though, there is this one thing my mom telling me my first words were “vam-vam” considering the amount of movies on vampires those who babysitted me watched,
Rudolph: How disturbing. Humans sit on babies? 
Tony: Hey, now it’s my turn with the question. Which was the one I asked earlier.
Rudolph: Yes. And humans sit on babies?
Tony: We do not, it’s an expression for when older people watch and take care of babies. And I want more elaboration on that yes, dude.
Rudolph: Vampire babies are born like humans are, much faster in span though. What takes human years to achieve in an infant’s development, it takes vampire babies months. And once matured, they continue growing but can slowly and they can maintain an age form for however long they want when they’ve finished vampire puberty.
Tony: I see. That’s kinda a shame.
Rudolph: Why?
Tony: I always thought being able to fly was the coolest thing about being a vampire.
Rudolph: Who said I couldn’t fly? *Starts to float*
Tony: WOW! That is so...
Rudolph: Cool?
Tony: Yes!
Rudolph: Want to fly then?
Gregory and Rudolph lost track of time spending it with the humans keeping them in hiding. In fact, they totally forgot of returning to the clan.
It took Anna searching them out. She managed to escape when the monster hunters did happen to find the location of their hide out.
Anna flirts with Tony. For some reasons, this annoyed Rudolph more than it grossed him out.
They made a plan to free the Clan, with them splitting to groups; Rudolph, Tony, and Anna would free the clan while Adam and Gregory distract the monster hunters.
In the process of escaping after liberating the clan, Anna gets hit by the same beam that struct Rudolph before. Tony gets captured in his attempt to give Rudolph an opening to take his sister and escape.
That’s all I got for now. You can drop asks if you like.

My few grievances about The Batman vs. Dracula:
The animated film The Batman vs. Dracula is both a guilty pleasure and a disappointment for what might have been.  I sort of like it but at the same time acknowledge it’s a very flawed movie.    Here are a few of the problems I have with The Batman vs. Dracula the animated movie.   Note: I do like this movie.  It’s a guilty pleasure because I know it’s flawed.  Anyway, here we go.
Tumblr media
1.   I would have preferred to see Dracula up against Kevin Conroy’s Batman, Batman of the 1990s Batman animated series.  To me this version is the perfect Batman and in my mind (when I was ten-years-old) he was the version of Batman I wanted to meet my other favorite characters like Disney’s Gargoyles, or The Real Ghostbusters.  So of course he’s the version I would have preferred meet Dracula.
2.   I acknowledge The Batman vs. Dracula doesn’t really follow  The Batman vs. Dracula (Red Rain) graphic novel trilogy.  This doesn’t bother me too much.   Truth be told I wish they would make a new Batman vs. Dracula in the main DC comics continuity.  DC almost never uses Dracula.   And honestly, I kind of felt the trilogy was mildly disappointing.

3.   Dracula is one of the few public domain characters that I can’t help but say Marvel got better (except the stupid “Dark Elf” look where he had that high white pony tail and red armor from 2010 until 2018.   That was annoying.)   But no one can deny that Tomb of Dracula (which gave us Blade: The Vampire Hunter) is now a classic.
Come to think of it, I prefer Marvel’s Adam (The Frankenstein Monster) to DC’s Frankenstein monster too.   At least when Marvel remembers Adam (The Frankenstein Monster) is intelligent and articulate.  Sometimes he gets writers who are stuck on “Fiiire Baaaaad!” and clearly aren’t familiar with the Mary Shelley novel... (Someone hire Steve Niles, quick!)
 4.   On to the story itself.    This scene. This scene right here!   Bruce Wayne / Batman The Great Detective... He should not have had to write “Alucard” on a silver platter in lipstick and hold it up to a mirror to realize it’s Dracula spelt backward. I get that The Batman is the more kid friendly incarnation of the animated Batman but why not a scene of him telling someone like Alfred or someone else that Alucard is Dracula backward.   Spare “The Great Detective” his dignity.
Tumblr media
Also let’s be honest.  Dr. Alucard is just a terrible alias and Dracula is just asking to be caught.  And not just because he was overly excited by a platter of steak tartare.   This Dracula is so obvious I think he wants to be captured.  ...I think it’s a cry for help.   
Tumblr media
5.   Dracula’s death scene.  Batman in the main DC comics continuity and especially in the more kid friendly animated universe does. not. kill.   Yet here in this animated movie (Tied to the “Kid friendly” The Batman animated series) has a scene of Dracula defeated and on his knees.  And what does Batman do?:
Weak and on his knees Dracula looks up at him and goes “You’re Bruce Wayne.”  (Someone clearly forgot one of Dracula’s powers is supposed to be mind reading!  In fact I’m adding that next.  The de-powering of Dracula.)   Batman melodramatically has his cape spread in front of a giant sunlamp’s light.  (No, really...)  It briefly looks like Batman is going to show him mercy.  Batman corrects Dracula by saying “I’m Batman.”  And it’s a fairly cool delivery but then he lowers his spread cape so that the light kills Dracula.  Who is cowering ON HIS KNEES!  Our hero, ladies and gentlemen!  
Tumblr media
Questions and problems related to this:
A.  Does killing Dracula not count as taking a life because he’s undead?   Isn’t that some sort of racism, Batman?   And if Dracula doesn’t count as alive where’s the line? Does that mean Solomon Grundy and Swamp Thing don’t technically count as alive?   Grundy is literally a zombie.  Swamp Thing is the consciousness of a dead man absorbed into “The Green” and in a plant-avatar body.  Run, Swampy!  Batman’s goin’ gardening!    
B.    Does this not count as murder because it’s technically the lamp that killed Dracula and not Batman? This is a dubious technicality.  Again, where’s the line?
C.   Honestly, based on how it played out, it looked like he WAS going to show Dracula mercy but once he realized Dracula knew his secret identity he decided to go “Nope.”
D.   Even The Avengers don’t try to kill Dracula anymore.   Marvel heroes have elaborate restraints and special cells for holding Dracula.   If Tony Stark can do it, so can Batman.  Wouldn’t Dracula’s blood addiction and predatory instincts and animal-like inclinations from an arcane blood mutation that grants superhuman powers earn him his own special cell at Arkham? 
Tumblr media
E.   We saw at the start of The Batman vs. Dracula that Dracula had easily been held in chains in a coffin away from his homeland.  So obviously he can be contained.  Was Batman just being lazy?  In Batman The Brave and the Bold we learn he has Nth metal handcuffs that can hold a ghost.  He should be able to contain Dracula.  
F.   Come on!  Dracula is easy to contain compared to The Joker yet The Joker is spared!
G.  This was a missed opportunity.  Think how interesting a recurring Dracula could have been.  He could have escaped or been captured.   And if he was captured a semi-reformed Dracula would make for a fun reluctant hero or anti-hero (So long as he keeps all of his powers, of course.)  Imagine the banter if Bruce held him in The Bat cave. 
Tumblr media
6.  Dracula is too depowered.  Marvel and DC are both guilty of making Dracula burn in the sun (like in the movies) but in the original Stoker novel Dracula could walk in the daylight just fine. He was just weaker by day because it was not his natural time.  And he could not take animal form by day.   
Marvel once published a graphic novel of the original Dracula story by Bram Stoker and in that they remember that Dracula could walk by day. And they claim the graphic novel is the backstory for the version of Dracula in Tomb of Dracula but by the time you get to Tomb of Dracula he burns in the sun.  So go figure...  
Anyway, Marvel’s Dracula has the power to conjure storms, turn into a wolf, bat, and mist.  He has been raised from the dead many times.   He can read minds. And he can hypnotize. Of course he has all the traditional weaknesses too but still this version seems far more powerful than DC’s Dracula...
 Marvel’s dracula is just superior.  
Tumblr media
And what makes it more frustrating is Dracula is in the public domain. That means anyone can use him.   And they could have and still could do so much more with him.
7.    It’s a little odd that Dracula’s wife in The Batman vs. Dracula is Carmilla.  Carmilla is a lesbian in her original novel. She’s bisexual in Castlevania.  I don’t mind her being bisexual.  And I don’t really mind this twist. It’s just a little odd.
Tumblr media
8.  I keep wishing they would remake the animated movie but with a more serious / adult feel to it, like Justice League: Dark.   And I wish DC was as good about finding clever uses for their Dracula as Marvel does.  DC’s version goes to waste.
Tumblr media
Just look how cool he looks!  Why aren’t they using him?!

Nanna’s solo vocal
Come on!
Pandemonia all around us
The government has been controlling us

Down to the cemetary, let’s set fire to their caskets before their revolution takes
Off to hunt Van Helsing in the night
Off to hunt in our vans before Hell sings in the night
Off to break their knees off their Vans before they skate off in the night

Trap them in our bags like garlic sacks
Come on!
Come on!
What kind of creatures wear eyeshadows, lip sticks, and nail polished all in black
Let’s hunt them down even if it’s for a sense of fashion that they lack
Strap your stakes and cartridge belts to your Macks
Shoot them down like county fair shooting rubber ducks in your slacks
Strap them up and piled them up in a stack
Come on!

For this cause we must abide
To stop Dracula and the Draconians on both sides
Come on!
Come on!
What kind of dumb creatures fight over leather jackets and slacks
What kind of dumb creatures fight over L’oreal and black shellac
We’re postmodern bohemian on longboard skates
We don’t follow their fashion advice for God’s sake
Like fashion crimes to debate
We only oblige by skinny jeans and skates
Let’s stop the fashion police before too many dies on skates
It’s hard to put people on the stakes
When your jeans are too tight for your skates
Off to save the day before the day takes us
Off to save the night before the night takes us
Come on! 
Come on!
Come on!
Paramilitary fever is in all of us
Coronavirus has been infecting us

1. I didn't have a date set yet but I looked up "philadelphia autumn" and it looks beautiful ;~; so I think that's at the top of my to-go-when list. 2. I like history and walking around so this is all up my alley! I do know I want to see the spooky first. 3. Yes I'll be driving 4. About $1,200 so not so much haha
It’s so beautiful! And let me tell you, Philly LOVES Halloween. And there’s a lot of spooky shit here. It’s really atmospheric and fun if you come in October, but September and November are also nice. The leaves change color and it’s really gorgeous, there are pumpkins everywhere, lots of harvest-themed markets, etc. If you can drive out to Brandywine, it’s BEAUTIFUL that time of year, you can visit the Wyeth (art) museum, and you can go apple/pumpkin picking and get lots of yummy apple cider donuts.
The fall also typically has Center City Restaurant Week (though they haven’t announced this year’s dates yet), which means you can try some of the nicer restaurants around town at a more affordable price. There are other cheap(ish) eats, too, though. Plenty. Good dim sum and bakeries in Chinatown, Solomonov’s little empire (Federal Donuts, Dizengoff, Goldie’s, etc.), more cheese/pizza steaks than you can shake a stick at… There’s a Moroccan place I like down on South Street called Marrakesh that’s great to go to with friends. They’ll give you like 7 courses for around $25-35 (price changes seasonally so call ahead) and it’s SO much food, so good, eating group-style. It’s a nice night out. If you like spicy food, Han Dynasty is a mainstay… Food kind of depends on the neighborhood, lol. You can find good stuff anywhere, though. Capogiro (all over the city) has AMAZING gelato, and in the fall they’ve got their pumpkin flavor and it’s amazing. Reading Terminal Market is a great place for all kinds of food, too. It’s kind of a zoo, though, so be prepared. lol
For Halloween, you can visit Eastern State Penitentiary (they run a haunted house during October, but I honestly think it’s better to visit when it’s plain – it’s such a creepy, melancholy place) or the Poe House, or you can go see the Dracula notes at the Rosenbach. (It’s a rare books library/museum that has Bram Stoker’s original notes for Dracula, and they’re out for display during October. They also host a lot of Dracula/vampire-themed events that month, some of which are educational.) Some people like to go to the Mutter Museum (a medical curiosities museum) around Halloween, but I personally think that’s gauche. I don’t care for the place. Both the Rosenbach and the Penn Museum (an anthropology museum on Penn’s campus, pretty good collection) have spooky-themed tours and lectures about magic, mummies, etc. that time of year. Prices will vary. I don’t think the Philly Art Museum or the Barnes Foundation do much in the fall, but they’re both fantastic art museums, especially the art museum. (So many tourists just take a picture at the Rocky steps, but please, go inside… They have entire temples in there…) In that same region, there’s also the Franklin Institute and the Drexel Science Museum, both science museums, and the Rodin Museum (small, try to get free admission if possible).
There are tons of ghost tours year-round, so you can look through those and see which interest you most. Philly’s supposedly SUPER haunted so just like throw a rock and you’ll hit a ghost, probably. Like you can go on a ghost trolley tour or you can walk around the historic district or you can do a haunted pub crawl. It’s up to you, for the most part. There are more to choose from around Halloween, obviously. There’s also Boo at the Zoo, but that’s more for kids… Laurel Hill Cemetery is a bit of a drive, but they always have Halloween/Fringe events. The Philly film festival is always going that time of year, too, so you can catch a movie or two. Sometimes they have some free movies during the film festival if you stay up to date on their website. There’s also the Fringe Festival (usually in September-ish?) that has live theatre at various price points and levels of weirdness. (You might see a normal show or you might go to a theremin concert in a cemetery or you could see a mini butoh performance in an old church or you might see Bat Boy. Fringe is weird.)
Um… In general, the historic district (around Independence Hall) is a good first stop for a lot of historic walking tours, historic buildings and such. Lots of important buildings, cemeteries, museums, parks, statues, etc. around there. There’s the Constitution Center and the Ben Franklin Museum and the Philly History Museum, the Museum of Jewish American History (highly recommended), the Chemical Heritage Foundation (better than it sounds), the African-American History Museum… I think those are mostly the big ones… And Independence Hall, of course. The Liberty Bell’s across the street, the Betsy Ross house is nearby. All that good stuff. If you’re into drinking historical alcohols, the City Tavern ‘round there is known for making assorted beers consumed/brewed by the founding fathers. Also shrub. I just drink the shrub, honestly. Philly likes alcohol, so there are a lot of good places to try interesting drinks if you’re into that. (I like Khyber Pass, myself. A bit expensive, but they’ve got great poboys.) Really, you can’t move for tripping over history down there. I find new shit down there all the time.
If you go to the Fairmount area, they have a bunch of old mansions you can tour, though I’ll admit I’ve never done it. I’ve been to Shofuso Japanese House out there, though, and that’s lovely in the fall with the maple. *sigh* Shofuso’s nicest during the spring, though, when Philly has its big cherry blossom festival in Fairmount Park.
Umm… A few other random things. The Magic Gardens (google it, I can’t even begin to describe it) are cool for an hour or two, the Masonic Temple (lodge) is GORGEOUS and weird and I definitely recommend a tour, I hear the Wagner Free Institute is cool, but I’ve never been coz it’s not accessible, there’s a new Revolutionary War museum near Ind. Hall that I haven’t visited yet, there are some nice mural tours (Philly’s known for its murals)…
Honestly, I could probably talk forever. It’s a big city, it’s an old city, and it’s got a lot of intricacies to it.

So let me get this straight,
Tumblr has created a fake movie called goncharov, but has convinced everyone that it is a real movie. While months ago people were talking about their “dear friend Johnathon” and everyone thought tumble had made up a random person but actually it’s a character from bram stokers Dracula? Am I getting this right?

Everyone reading Dracula Daily and then coming to tumblr to discuss it is actually incredibly helpful to me. I’m dyslexic and I would not have read Dracula on my own because of the old English and not understanding it. Thankfully I can read an entry, get a general vibe of what has happened and go to tumblr where everyone is talking about what just happened. It helps me understand the parts I weren’t to sure about. So thank you tumblr book club!

Needing a wee break from actual story telling I have decided to share little fact sheets about a few of my characters (existing as well as OC).
I have put all under a read more for possible spoilers for things to come. There are spoilers if you haven’t read fics from my What’s This? A Ghost Series collection.
My OC Sister Alicia
Full name: Sister Alicia Evelyn Oglesby
Species: Human
Date of Birth: 25 December 1992
Place of Birth: York, UK
Height: just shy of 5 foot
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship status: In a relationship with Special Ghoul, Cardinal Copia and Papa Emeritus the Third
Notable features: Short & stocky. She's strikingly beautiful. Her mouth is slightly too big for her face. Her hair is naturally wavy, and falls just below her shoulders. More often than not, she will straighten it, if it's not to be hidden under her veil. She speaks with a stutter.
Eye color: Hazel
Hair color: Dark brown
Piercings: She has several. Studs and small hoops cover the curves of her ears.
Tattoos: Alicia has many tattoos. Realistic demon wings cover her back, shoulders to hips. Her arms have lattices and vines. Her chest is covered with a large raven. Her belly has a depiction of Lucifer. Her one hip has a small bat. Her thighs have two bouquets of wilted roses, one on each. Most of her tattoos are black ink with accents of color. She wants to cover more blank skin when she can. She loves tattoos.
Typical style: As a fairly new member of the church, Alicia is required to wear her habit while she works. It's cropped short, well over her knees and the top piece covers her chest. She prefers the longer veil, to let it hide her hair completely. Outside of working, she has a very "pin-up" style. Short skirts and cocktail dresses, low cut tops. She is very fond of showing off her tattoos and dresses accordingly. Being so short, she likes to wear heels. She isn't ashamed of being small but has always felt most comfortable in heels or wedge type shoes. She refuses to conform to the public ideals of how "fat girls" should dress. She wears what she wants and looks fabulous. She keeps her finger nails neatly manicured and painted. Her toes always polished as well. She is a big fan of bold makeup looks but doesn't shy away from heading out without it.
Personality traits: She is textbook level shy, but will open up with the right people. She's relatively friendly and likes to give everyone their fair chance to be treated well. She's quiet and thoughtful. She is a bit of a geek and viciously proud of that fact. She's a hard worker, an organized person, and likes things to be neat & orderly. She has a wicked sense of humor, sometimes a bit dry. She loves to have a good time. She adores the people closest to her and can be overly protective of them. She is typically in good moods but is prone to boughts of crankiness and can get feisty if her buttons are pushed.
Parents: Emily (Wasnter) & Charles Oglesby
Siblings: Seven older brothers; Charlie, Adam, Leonard, Nicholas, Seth, Alan and Oliver
Other noted relatives: tba
Pets: none but grew up with several since she was raised on a farm
Occupation: Receptionist for Cardinal Copia
Hobbies: Alicia loves board games and tabletop RPGs. She enjoys simple crafts. She likes to read but it comes in waves. She will read three books in two weeks then not touch another one for months. She enjoys watching movies with friends and just being around the people she loves.
Favorite color: Green
Favorite food: Strawberries
Favorite movie: Bram Stoker's Dracula
Favorite song: SOS - ABBA
3 likes: early morning snuggles, babies, trips to the aquarium
3 dislikes: rare steak, being woken up, fat jokes
6 Random facts:
- Alicia was born and raised a dark witch, tied to the Satanic ways, but has been the only person in her family to join an official organization, The Emeritus Church.
- She is terrified of being alone. Growing up as part of a large family she isn't used to the idea of being truly alone. Yes, she likes her alone time, but always needs to know she has someone she can turn to.
- Alicia's stutter comes from family history. It has been a lifelong experience but has improved since childhood. She often avoids talking with strangers because she worries that some may tease her for it. A great deal of her shyness stems from this.
- Her family had a farm growing up. She raised cows, sheeps, goats and chickens. They had two horses but they didn't raise them for profit. She had several cats and dogs as well. She has a love of animals and a deep appreciation for them.
- Alicia prefers tea to coffee but developed a taste for the latter when she was pregnant with her first child.
- She has always felt that it was her place in the world to be a mother. It has been her dream to have a large family, like her own family. She is respectful of anyone who doesn't share those ideals, but to her being a mother is very important.

Diary of Draculaura
It should be totally forbitten to read someone else’s diary, even if it is lost.
7♥January
OMV! It feels like ages since I’ve written in my diary. Un-life has truly been busy these days and I’m barely keeping up. I’m sure my face looks like I’m 2000 years old instead of 1600. I pulled an all-frighter working on my article for the Monster High newspaper, The Gory Gazette, about new trends in vegetarianism, including plant-based meat. I’ve been making fangtastic with Boo-yond Meat and Grim-possible Burgers, though finding taste testers has been a bit of a challenge. My boyfriend, Clawd Wolf, is a werewolf who loves his steaks rare and won’t come near my new recipe for Grim Ghoulash and Count Fabulous, my best bat friend, prefers bugs over veggies. That leaves my Father, Count Dracula, the world’s most famous vampire and lover of all things blood. He doesn’t understand my vegetarianism and at least once a year, I get “The Talk”. Basically, he believes I need to give up being a vegetarian because it is unnatural and un-monster like. So the day he eats one of my recipes is the day I eat double meat screechza with Clawd. Yuck.
11♥January
Yesterday’s Fearleading practice was scarier than Father’s fashion sense. Cleo de Nile was in a monstrous mood and I don’t know who got her all unraveled but we all paid dearly for it. Nobody could understand her complicated Fearamid routine and we all ended up in a heap. Cleo suddenly announced that we’re going to hold a fundraiser for new Fearleading uniforms and needed ideas. I thought we could do a plant-based bake sale but the squad didn’t seem too enthused and so we decided to do a fashion show instead. That’s too bad, the scarrots in my garden would be great for a homemade scarrot bread! Maybe Father would enjoy that instead. While my BFF Clawdeen Wolf was here studying after school, I started a new recipe for booyond sliders with beefsteak tomatoes. Father walked in while I was pulling them out of the skillet and the whole kitchen was super smokey. I tried to get him to try one along with Clawdeen but I might as well have offered him stake-skewered garlic kabobs! He walked out with his fangs bared but I did catch Clawdeen sneaking a second bite. Hehe, I might just get her to join Team VAMP (Vampires Advocating Meatless Proteins) after all.
15♥January
I’m still really confused about what happened today. The day started off perfectly fine until Fearleading practice was suddenly canceled. We were supposed to talk details for the fashion show but Cleo was nowhere to be found. I headed to the Maul with Clawdeen and Frankie Stein to scout outfits for the show and meet Clawd in the Food Corpse for a quick bite. The Food Corpse is so lacking in vegetarian options but they do have really good screechza and spookochinos, so I don’t mind it too much. Anyway, we found this fangtastic boo-tique that had creeperific looks and scarecessories. I wish I could point my Father in the direction of this store. He’s constantly buying me clothes that wer in when he was 1600 but I wouldn’t be caught alive in those clothes. Anyway, I met Clawd afterwards in the Food Corpse and he was in such a weird mood. He got really cagey when I mentioned Cleo’s mood lately and our canceled practice. He quickly changed the subject to my article for the Gory Gazette, so I know something’s wrong. The day Clawd wants to talk the protein count in kidney beans is when I know something is wrong. We basically drove home in silence and he gave me a quick kiss and drove away. Something has got that wolf’s fur all ruffled and I intend to find out.
21♥January
Normally Clawd will wait with me after school before I attend The Gory Gazette staff meeting. But today he disappeared as soon as the bell rung! I got this really cryptic message from him on my iCoffin about not being able to make it and he would catch up with me later, but he never did. I was in such a bad mood, Father gave me a little kiss on the forehead after he pointed out the grammatical errors in my article. What is going on?

Oh my ghoul! Father is in a fearious mood tonight. Turns out, he ate my leftover vegan vampire chili and didn’t realize it until I went to eat it for dinner! It was super spicy and totally vegetarian, two of Father’s pet peeves. I apologized profusely for not properly labeling it but it was too late. I got treated to a mini version of “The Talk” and had to promise to keep my “experiments” on my side of the fridge. Honestly, I think he’s just mad he actually enjoyed a vegetarian meal. There wasn’t one drop of chili left!

I WISH I COULD CRAWL BACK INTRO MY BED AND START THIS DAY OVER. I don’t know what happened but somehow my vegetarian trends article didn’t save on my computer and now I have to write the whole thing over by tomorrow afternoon! Frankie is feeling zapped because the 3Scream printer she invented to make clothes for the fashion show is not working. The show and Frankie are literally falling apart at the seams and to make matters worse, Clawd is still being weird! After the day I was having, I had enough and called him out on his behavior. I told him it’s not ok for us to keep secrets from each other and asked him to tell me what was wrong, only that “it’s private and he made a promise to keep everything under wraps”. I got so mad, I stormed out of the creepeteria and ran crying to my locker, totally ruining my makeup. Thank ghoulness Frankie helped me fix my face before class. I hate fighting with Clawd, especially when I don’t even know what we’re fighting about.

Last night was so crazy, I didn’t even have the energy to write in my diary or look at the collection of bugs Count Fabulous gathered to cheer me up. It all started with Clawd leaving me a note on my locker, asking me to meet him after school. We hadn’t really hung out since that day I confronted him in the Creepeteria, so I was a little shocked to see the note. I gently tucked it into my notebook and walked to class with Clawdeen, who thankfully didn’t ask too many questions. Then, Fearleading practice was canceled again and Cleo was nowhere to be found. Cleo never misses a chance to boss us around, let alone cancel practice two times in a row. Even though I was still feeling really down, I conviced the other ghouls to put together a scare package and take it over to Cleo, who obviously needed some cheering up. Clawdeen must have noticed my mood, because she didn’t growl too much and decided to tag along. Since we were going to go to de Niles after school, I wasn’t going to be able to meet Clawd. Part of me felt horrible but the other part was just too upset to care. After gathering a few of Cleo’s favorite things, we landed on her doorstep and the minute she opened the door, I could tell this wasn’t a royal tantrum, something was definitely wrong. She explained that she and Deuce broke up and while Deuce seemed to be doing just fine, she couldn’t bear to face anyone at school. My heart was breaking for her, I hate to see any monster heartbroken, but then she mentioned Clawd! She looked at me and said, “Deuce told Clawd about our breakup and we both asked him to keep this under wraps. Draculaura you’ve got a great boyfriend, we’ve been driving him crazy.” I didn’t even stay to hear the rest of her story. I ran out of there and immediately called Clawd to meet at the Coffin Bean. The second he showed up, I ran and gave him the biggest hug and apologized for being so batty! He looked really sheepish and apologized too. He hated keeping anything from me but he gave his word. I held my hand up to his cheek snuggled into his fur as he wrapped his arms around me. Last night was the first good night’s sleep I’ve had in a while. Thank ghoulness everything is back to normal!

The fashion show was total success! Cleo and Frankie worked together to get the 3Scream printer up and running and we were totally able to save the show! It was all claws on deck to pull this show together and it couldn’t have gone better. Even Cleo and Clawdeen worked together to quickly design our looks, which is like trying to mix oil and water or get Father to eat another bowl of veggie chili, hehe. I have the best BFF in the world, Clawdeen totally put together a fangtastic look for me and I can’t stop vamping over it. I mean only a truly fashion forward mind could think of mesh sleeves that double as a fashion statement and UV protection! When I walked the runway, the students of MH went totally bats, even Headmistress Bloodgood gave a little nod of approval! But the best part of all? At the end of the runway was my clawsome boyfriend waiting with the prettiest nightshades and the most gorgeous bouquet of blood oranges I had ever seen. Cleo was right, I really am the luckiest monster ever!
