Do you guys remember how kidnap fantasies were popular on wattpad because young girls and queer teens were both made to feel shame at the thought of their own sexualities, so the fantasy of being kidnapped totally against their will was a way for them to engage with a romantic or sexual fantasy without feeling morally in the wrong for doing so? Added bonus that the fantasy involved being whisked away from repressive environments like home or school, right?

Finding out that Bram Stoker was in a sexless marriage and that scholars believe that he very likely was closeted gay puts the entire book into perspective as to WHY it reads EXACTLY like a self insert wattpad Dracula kidnap fic:

"I TOTALLY love my wife and would never do anything that an upstanding Good Straight Working Man wouldn't do but oh nooo, big strong man with broad back and strong enough arms to carry me back to bed like a princess trapped me and claimed me as his, completely against my will 👉👈 But he protects me against the bad evil sexual women (who I assure you, I am TOTALLY sexually attracted to, as any straight man with a choice would be) but trust me, I do NOT want ANY of this. What's that? The Count is not capable of feeling love? Would be a shame if I had the special ability to change tha-"

#the way they both look legit concerned is so funny to me every time#like thisis such a PAINFUL scene#bc the secondhand embarrassment is so ouch#but esp with the way that it's izzy like. drowning#desperately attempting to wrest it back and bc he's autistic and also a CUNT he doesn't know how#so he fucking does. THIS.#and it's not just fruitless and pathetic and humiliating and a failed attempt at cruelty#it's also SO revealing#about what he thinks about men and sex and intimacy#and what he wants and what he ASSUMES#and the way pete and lucius are like. oh good lord.#cracks me in two fhskjgjkgh#wee john is there like 'oh damn the wee fella's quite homophobic so'#but pete and lucius are like#'oh he's gay and it's a gay we are not equipped to do shit with'

“My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”

— Laurell K. Hamilton
