Me, after ordering one coffee and a bagel, enraged that we have let capitalism get to such a late stage that just getting a cheap little treat is a fucking 16 dollar purchase, panicking at my dwindling funds in the face of more and more inflation, considering how bad it would be to just jump the counter and take a few bagels and a coffee pot, the utter panic and rage sending me into a blind fury as I guzzle down boiling coffee and stale, untoasted expired bagels, my eyes red with unbridled fury and my face even redder from scalding coffee burns, before I finally snap back to reality and hand the cashier my debit card: yeah sounds good, no worries.

Oh I had forgotten that such a friend is not actually present yet. : ) Thank you. You’d think as a spirit worker, with a passing familiarity with Fu Lions and other esoteric friends, that that possibility would have occurred to me immediately. I really appreciate you, @shrimpshrampshromp!
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-”
This is also the fantasy behind all those old bodice-ripper romances that people today like to mock or call problematic, by the way.
“Oh, my next forty years are going to consist of nothing but washing dishes and keeping house and bearing children for the disdainful man I married right out of high school because my parents said college was for men and I had no other obvious life path open to me? What if a pirate captain thought I was worth stealing away from it all? [what if I ran away but no-one could blame me for leaving]?”
