There's a relationship-establishment flashback between Van Helsing and Seward
In it, Van Helsing accidentally gets cut with something unclean. His then-student Seward immediately drops everything to start sucking on the wound raw
At one point, Seward asks to become his "pet student again."
Dracula has a big, permanent scar on his forehead from Jonathan Harker's shovel
Arthur Holmwood saying "Tally ho!"
Transylvanians conclude that the delirious, amnesiac Jonathan Harker is English due to "his violent demeanour."
Despite attempts to keep low profile, Dracula gets into the news twice in two months (in one of them as a missing dog)
Dracula getting misreported as a dog because English people have never seen a wolf
London newspapers treat Lucy's vampire attacks on children as a meme among kids because they don't believe in vampires
Dracula gets sworn at by a British sailor solely because he thinks Dracula is French
Van Helsing baffled why British sailors keep talking about blood and bloom (it's swearing)
Van Helsing is friends with real-life turkologist traveler Arminius Vámbéry, who is his source on the Dracula family
Van Helsing is friends with Hans Christian Andersen and references The Ugly Duckling
Van Helsing getting one-upped by MinaHarker every single time he says something sexist about her intelligence

Happy Dracula day to all who celebrate
Omfg it's almost dracula season, can't wait for my good friend Jonathan's emails to arrive
they should invent a medicine that makes the aching jagged wound in your soul close
Weird question but is anyone doing anything special on May 3rd aka the Day Our Good Friend Jonathan starts sending us updates on his travels? I'm attempting paprika hendl, if I can find the right kind of paprika in time.
I positively adore how both Mina and Jonathan think of each other in their journal/letters. Distance may separate them, but they are always on each other’s minds. A recipe for her, practice for him. To be of use to the other. To capture what the other isn’t experiencing. A point of connection for the two who are so far apart. A way of saying that the world is beautiful and fascinating and I want to share it with you
Mina, my beloved, is back!
Mina, clever, brave, extraordinary Mina. Tech obsessed Mina. Record keeper Mina. Demands to be part of it all, not left to the side to be rescued Mina. Unholiest love Mina, adored by all but especially Jonathan. Devoted best friend even beyond death. Train fiend Mina. Absolutely prepared to work if her husband can never recover and support him despite living in an era when women just did not do that. Mina, who has the courage and strength of will not only to tell Dracula to fuck off but fucking use the psychic connection he established to hunt him. Mina who never NEVER had any mind of secret love forbidden romance thing with the Count.
