David Paul Nixon1/2 Bran Castle - the castle most associated with Dracula. Largely because of tourism. There’s no evidence Bram Stoker knew anything about it. Vlad the Impaler was thought to have been held prisoner there, but that now is disputed. The castle is on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. To get an army through the Carpathian mountains, you would need to march your army past Bran, so Vlad likely passed by at least. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dracula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dracula</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brancastle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brancastle</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/vampire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vampire</a>

Amalia ZeichnerinStarted writing a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dracula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dracula</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fanfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fanfiction</a>. In the novel by Bram Stoker, the extensive library of Count Dracula is mentioned which gave me the idea that of course he owns a copy of John Polidori's "The Vampyre" (from 1816) but thinks it's a lot of rubbish because the vampire is not depicted authentically. And of course he talks about this with Jonathan Harker. I love it when texts get so meta. 😅

circfruitI’ve been using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/dracula" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#dracula</a> theme for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#emacs</a> for almost 2 years now. My eyes got used to the colors of variables, operators etc. Every now and then one needs change and I kind of like modus-vivendi dark themses. However my mind somehow refuses now to adjust because it has mapped the syntax coloring to the dracula palette. Do you change your themes often and do you have the same problem?

Juan LoboPues una vez vista justo después de leer el libro, he de decir que me ha cambiado el concepto que tenía de la peli, me ha fallado un poco como adaptación. Siempre creí que era la adaptación a la pantalla más fiel al libro que había, pero ahora diría incluso que es una adaptación muuuuuy libre.Que ojo, sigue siendo un verdadero peliculón, pero hace lo que da la gana: más allá de las carencias y sacrificios comprensibles al cambiar de formato, pasa de puntillas por muchas cosas importantes mientras se inventa de la nada muchas otras que además comen mucho metraje. Vamos, es que la historia de amor entre el Conde y Mina llega a ser el eje central de la trama y es algo completamente inventado.De todas formas, como digo, sigue siendo una gran película y en otros tramos más o menos fiel a la novela. Lo que más me ha gustado es esa atmósfera irreal y espeluznante que transmite muy bien el espíritu del libro, sobre todo en la parte que transcurre en Transilvania.Y nota aparte: agradable sorpresa encontrarme entre las tres vampiresas que secuestran y abusan sexualmente de Johnathan Harker a una jovencita y voluptuosa Mónica Bellucci.

Juan LoboTerminado "Drácula", de Bram Stocker. Uno de mis regalos de Reyes, además en edición coleccionista con filos de las hojas dorados. Es que me picaba el gusanillo de leer algo de literatura clásica.Me ha gustado, aunque creo que va perdiendo fuelle hacia el final y de hecho el final me ha decepcionado un poco, pero ha sido un viaje extraordinario al terror gótico/romántico del siglo XIX. La primera parte en el castillo de Drácula es realmente angustiosa y transmite muy bien el miedo a eso maligno que se muestra bajo la apariencia del Conde, lo mejor del libro en mi opinión con permiso del corto capítulo casi independiente dedicado al viaje en el Demeter, muy original y aterrador.Curioso también ver ese espíritu decimonónico de la época en el papel de la mujer, encarnación de la pureza y la belleza divinas, y el concepto del amor romántico.Lectura recomendable, desde luego. Ya estoy preparado para revisionar la versión de Coppola y comparar.<a href="https://masto.es/tags/literaverso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literaverso</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/terror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terror</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/dracula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dracula</a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/libros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libros</a>

Amalia ZeichnerinI have ideas again for a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fanfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fanfiction</a>, for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dracula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dracula</a> by Bram Stoker, but make it queer and with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polyamory</a>. 😊 As you can imagine, I am not the first who came up with that idea. There are over 200 fanfics about Dracula with more or less polyamory, on AO3, some including his brides, others pairing up most of the male characters, including Arthur Holmwood and Dr. Seward. Writing such a fanfic would give me an excuse to return to one of my favourite historical eras, the late Victorian. 1/2
