i have a headcanon because of this wonderful 100+ thousand words fanfic series on ao3 that stein is just obsessed with spirit and spirit is literally the only reason stein's still has some sane sense. the guy just desperately clings to him like a little boy to the only adult who didn't reject him, spirit is literally a breath of fresh air for him after a bad battle or a candle that burns forever in the dark. i can't fully explain how stein feels about this redhead idiot, it's just that felling in the chest when he sees him and suddenly everything as it's supposed to be for a few seconds, no horrors, no abstruse thoughts, just spirit, his red hair and his awfully stupid face
lando saying seb always messages him when he needs it the most i’m going to cry
Also worth mentioning that in Dracula the first one to give Lucy a blood transfusion was her fiancé. And after that he felt like they were really married. Just saying, yk. It surely doesn't have a single thing to do with a particular podcast in which the themes of marriage and honesty and devotion may or may not arise.
Thinking about the eroticism of blood and blood transfusions in literature. In particular the way that it’s used in Dracula. That Lucy Westerna’s life is prolonged through transfusions by her three suitors, the three men who loved her.
And I’m definitely not thinking about this in connection to any audio drama podcasts I’ve been listening to lately. Because, surely, this podcast—which contains countless references to pop culture and Samuel Taylor Coleridge—didn’t intentionally reference this literary history with a plot relevant blood transfusion.
It’s the gayest thing I have ever heard.
