Vampires familiars are actually phlebotomists who take extra blood to feed to the vampires they work for

Speaking as a person who has donated blood many times, and who also suffers from poor sleep because of chronic anxiety...

I see Lucy's sleepwalking before the Drac Attac as a hereditary tendency clearly exacerbated by anxiety regarding her upcoming marriage. If she wasn't sleepwalking she could easily be lying wide awake at night while catastrophic events and conversations played uncontrollably in her mind. (But sleepwalking conveniently gets her out of the house and creates usefully horrific ambiguity.)

And I see Dracula as not getting very much blood on that first night because he is interrupted in the act, and he is cautious.

And I know there have been times when I looked forward to a blood donation because I knew it would make me tired and make it a little easier to sleep at night.

And I've sometimes woken up the day after a blood donation feeling great because it was the first good sleep I've had in days/weeks/months.

Which is to say: with Dracula's first attack on Lucy, Bram Stoker does a masterful job of blending the symptoms of natural and supernatural affliction to show how a vampire might go undetected for quite some time.

Carlisle from twilight would’ve been a 10x better concept if he still drank human blood. You wouldnt need to wait for lab results.

With his expertise he could take a sip and go “Ah, I believe you may be slightly anemic” or “Oh, you are experiencing hypoglycemia” or “Well it appears your hemoglobin is rather high”

Im just saying. He’d be a way more interesting guy.

Desperately chugging water before hitting the vampire's den in the hopes that they'll just steal my blood without mangling me first.

Ya can’t take a phlebotomist anywhere because all they do is look at someone’s arm and go “oh my god I want to draw this person”

Love this lol. Have you made a design for Drac? Also is there an in universe reason for the premature white hair?

Thank you!!! I'm so excited about the response to my silly comic <3

I have not made a drac design! I want to, I'm just struggling to reconcile Bram Stoker's Drac with 2004 Van Helsing Dracula which is the one that lives forever in my heart.

tbh, this isn't the most fleshed out AU. This concept, character designs, everything, was inspired by @foxgoblin​‘s line “Dr Seward’s podcast (sponsored by coca-cola and nintendo)” That one single line moved into my head, not quite rent free, but maybe into a timeshare for a modest fee. I only have a couple comics planned and they're mostly like the sponsor my cows one- quick and jokey.

If there WERE a full universe, it would be a college AU. When I tried to think of an alternative to death for Lucy, my first thought was grad school, which is basically death for your social life, right?

The Squad would all be in school or recently graduated as doctors/lawyers/etc, and Dracula is a corporate lawyer and part time teacher. Jonathan must escape from a summer internship at his evil law firm with his soul intact. The hair color is a dye job. He's rebelling against the strict standards of corporate law and definitely going to end up doing something like the Innocence project or fighting slum lords or joining the ACLU post-graduation.

Van Helsing is the ethics professor and teaches a required course for MDs and JDs. Quincey's college aged, but owns or works on a ranch. Maybe Jack is SOON to be a psychiatrist and just runs a late night college radio station where he answers people's relationship questions. He's turning it into a podcast. Art's going to be a phlebotomist and tell people his theories about how giving blood is like being married. Mina is supporting Jonathon through school with the goal of eventually being a SAHM and focusing on her writing career (autobiographical, of course).

The school is Drac University. Jonathon attends its law school, Drac U Law.
