Catching up with #ReDracula / #DraculaDaily…

30-31 August: "Lucy is dying, please help" (mp3)

Seward, 2 September:

Van Helsing would, I know, do anything for me for a personal reason…

me: sounds kinda gay ngl

Van Helsing, 2 September:

that time you suck from my wound so swiftly the poison of the gangrene from the knife that our other friend, too nervous, let slip…

…it is to you that I come.

me: yeah that's gay

3 September has one of my favourite voice-acted shitposts (mp3):

Van Helsing: this guy? this guy knows nothing about women

Seward: professor please

Van Helsing: totally bitchless

(feed) 🧛

Catching up on Re: Dracula, great to hear from Renfield again!

"What?" I said. "You don't mean to tell me you don't care about spiders?"

LOL COULDN'T BE ME

Side note, VA Ben Galpin's best moment is not actually in Re: Dracula; it's his absolutely unhinged reading of a Dracula version of the infamous "Jurgen Leitner rant"* from #TheMagnusArchives / #tma fandom. I especially like his reading of "I would piss on God's feet". (mp3, post)

#DraculaDaily / #ReDracula Aug. 4: "I shall save my soul, and my honour as a captain." Alasdair Stuart (voicing the Captain) earns his paycheque in this one. (mp3)

Aug. 8: that's an over 2,250-word article about a fucking storm. Nowadays you would get a paragraph, at best!! (mp3)

Oh man the crew of the Demeter is dropping like flies. Which I could then feed to spiders, which I could feed in turn to bi—

I love how Mina gets Jonathan's letter that's just like "omw." and immediately knows Something Is Up

"excuse me jonathan didn’t add 50 doodle hearts and a little XOXO at the bottom of my letter. something is amiss" (post)

I must say the great benefit of the audio format is that you can hear Mr. Swales (Graham Rowat) and his dialect. I have no idea how accurate it is to the dialect of the region and frankly I'm afraid to find out.

P. S. alternate meme version (mp3)

relevant Re: Dracula voice-acted Tumblr posts

"Alas, it is I who have become the poor little meow meow" (mp3)

"Genuinely, when was the last time you touched grass?" (mp3)

"babygirl I wanna study you under a microscope" (mp3)

Men sneered at vivisection, and yet

YES, JACK! YES THEY DID!!

Burdon-Sanderson's physiology

isn't he a fantasy writer

I wonder at how many lives he values a man…

This line is wonderfully ominous in the Re: Dracula version.

Dracula Daily, July 19: back to Seward & Renfield!

My friend has now a whole colony of sparrows…

Here's where I admit that this year a gaggle of house sparrows, on their own but so young their gapes (the corners of their mouth) were still yellow, began coming to my windowsill for the sunflower seeds I put out. I intended them for Fancy Birds like dark-eyed juncos, chickadees, and cardinals, and usually when squirrels or sparrows find them I make sure to leave the windowsill bare for several days until they forget or decide to go somewhere else. But the sparrows were so cute I allowed it.

(I initially started feeding the birds years ago as a way to entertain the cat but soon became interested in the birds for their own sake, and have kept it up since she died.)

Also, alternate version of today's entry (based on this meme).

AHOY MATEYS IT'S DEMETER DAY!!! 🚢

Side note, I've said this before but: I wondered if the Re: Dracula folks were trolling when they cast Jonathan Sims, who played a dork with a posh British accent chronicling tales of horror into a tape recorder in The Magnus Archives, as Dr. Seward, a dork with a posh British accent chronicling tales of horror into a phonograph. But I figured I was maybe reading too much into things.

Then they cast Alasdair Stuart, who played a gruff and isolated sea captain in The Magnus Archives, as the gruff and isolated captain of the Demeter, and I knew they were trolling.

Is there any way to read the line "It will be a whole idea soon, and then, oh, unconscious cerebration! you will have to give the wall to your conscious brother" and not sound like the most pompous fucking dweeb in the world?

(I encourage any yea-sayers to share their own efforts.)

His spiders are now becoming as great a nuisance as his flies, and today I told him that he must get rid of them. He looked very sad at this…

You absolutely must listen to the #ReDracula alternate version of the scene, in response to a Tumblr user who suggested "Looney Tunes bonk and Wilhelm scream" (source)

Oh shit I was so out of it yesterday that I missed Shovel Day!!!

For the uninitiated:

This was the being I was helping to transfer to London, where, perhaps, for centuries to come he might, amongst its teeming millions, satiate his lust for blood, and create a new and ever-widening circle of semi-demons to batten on the helpless. The very thought drove me mad. A terrible desire came upon me to rid the world of such a monster. There was no lethal weapon at hand, but I seized a shovel which the workmen had been using to fill the cases, and lifting it high, struck, with the edge downward, at the hateful face.
