Fantasy Costco Is A Front For Garfield's True Passion: Illegal Cloning

happy belated birthday to our fav senshi of love 💛

I love that Gideon the Ninth is marketed as a space opera when like 95% of it takes place on Earth. It’s marketed as lesbians exploring a gothic castle in space, but it’s NOT. The castle is very much on Earth!! I mean, we don’t know that it was Earth until book 3, in which case we were in space by then anyway, but still!

Jack Seward: Vampire Coded

I really like the theory of Jack being vampire-coded, not only because he is a foil of Dracula but because it shows how the abuse of power can come from within the house (or rather within the asylum). So here is a list of vampire-like traits he's exhibited so far:

-Has a good forehead and strong jaw, just like Dracula is described as having a prominent forehead and "strong chin"

-Doesn't sleep at night except for the help of chlloral

-Monologues about the "natural order of things". Dracula with his lineage and warrior blood and Jack with his superior rationality over Renfield.

-Jack is described by Lucy as having an intense stare and wanting to psychoanalyze her (later Renfield), which implicitly recalls how Dracula has power over Lucy through his hypnotizing red eyes.

-Uses a lancet, which is a small instrument for blood letting. Speaking of blood, he describes Renfield as having a "sanguine" temperament twice. What's next, drinking blood?

-Feels lonely and compelled to love someone, just like Dracula wants to "love" Jonathan. Now this is pretty interesting -- Jack is more like a gothic brooding hero that Dracula tries to be in a lot of media adaptations. He's in love with Lucy and yet he uses Renfield as a replacement.

-Being alone vs being lonely. Dracula is lonely, even though he lives with three vampire women who are familiar with him. Jack has friends who he keeps at a distance because of unrequited love. Of course this is a bit of a stretch as we tend to think of all three suitors as a parallel to the vampire women, but I'm throwing this in anway.

Again, this isn't like definitive, but I thought it was interesting!

Is this justice? Is this a new dawn?

‘aight, mate, we’re done! Looking like a proper little punk now, eh?
