so i’m enjoying watching people go through the dracula daily thing but i wanted y'all to know (extremely light spoilers)

that if it was written today, Dracula would 100% be classified as Urban Fantasy and Magical Realism and not just a monster horror story

like bram stoker put a shitton of research into the book, and gave the characters all kinds of brand new advanced tech. the blood transfusion scene, for example, is interesting because blood transfusions had been successfully performed for decades but it still wasn’t fully understood why they sometimes failed. by the 1890s–when he was writing–doctors had discovered platelets but hadn’t developed anticoagulants. they knew that transfusing blood could kill a patient if a clot wound up in their brain or lungs, but there wasn’t a foolproof method of preventing clots. the method used in Dracula was a cutting-edge (sorry) (no im not) experimental procedure that simply didn’t allow the blood to meet the air, by directly linking the donor’s artery to the recipient’s vein. this showed a lot of promise in animal trials but never caught on in human treatments because it’s basically impossible to measure how much blood is being transfused, so you could wind up killing both donor (via exsanguination) and recipient (via Too Much Fuckin’ Blood) in one fell swoop.

additionally, blood types weren’t discovered until a few years after the publication of Dracula, which i imagine really pissed bram stoker off. it would’ve been SUPER FITTING and ROMANTIC to add the detail that the character who donates their blood HAS to be the one, because they’re THE ONLY ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS WITH THE SAME BLOOD TYPE AS THE VICTIM, which proves their love is TRUE and MEANT TO BE and DESTINED BY GOD and all that other late 19th century gothic romance shit

Your problem is you have an inkjet printer. You need a laser printer. 

Inkjet: finicky, the ink dries, the heads get clogged, sometimes you have to replace the yellow cartridge just to print black because for some dumbass reason it was programmed with feelings and won’t print unless everything in its environment is feng shui perfect.

Laser printer: toner never dries out, if somehow you manage to get through the thousands of pages required to exhaust a toner cartridge just take it out and shake it until it remembers that it has literally one job in this world and you’ll get a couple hundred more pages to sort it out, somehow despite its complexity (”I make words appear using lasers”) you’ll die before it does.

Confirmed. Prints hundreds of pges of scripts for me after months sitting idle. Brought to you by laser gang

haters will see you rotating the perfect sphere, yet not visually perceive the rotation due to said sphere’s lack of imperfections, and say you cant rotate a sphere
