Drained : The Virgin & The Count [Dracula 2020 BBC Fanfic]

FOREWORD

ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE CHARACTERS

Since the age of 9, I've been a huge fan of Dracula adaptations, from Lugosi and Lee to Oldman, Evans, Sandler, and even Bang's version. I was inspired to write and publish a silly fanfic during the year of 2020 when BBC Dracula was released on streaming platforms. I had all my ideas and drafts written out that year, but unfortunately, the pandemic hit, and my drafts were believed to be lost in the lockers. The school was sanitized for three years, and the lockers were cleaned out, and my writings were thrown away. It's a sad story, but I'm now glad to have the opportunity to share the polished version with you.

I studied at a Catholic school and was quite sacrilegious, watching the series before my exams in religion or theology classes and school church masses. Props to the sixteen-year-old me! I graduated and never got a hold of my locker since then.

Fast forward to my exposure therapy with vampire psychologies and all. Just kidding! As mentioned in the introductory pages, Dracula was written to be an ENTP for the series. This is great because I've had a great share of a couple of unhealthy ENTPs here in my college university, and I still currently am in the same building as them.

As a good old writer, I've done a good amount of research and psychological taming with the ENTP personality. They are very cunning, extroverted, interesting, controversial, and witty in life. They are dominating people in the field and tend to be Brutally honest with people. Like the INFJ woman that I am, That's when I get into the picture and scold them like a mother.

With a good number of lunches and dinners with the personality, I got a good perspective on what the modern Dracula would be like: attractive, intelligent, and cruel.

Psychology suggests that INFJ and ENTP personalities get along well in life, and I've taken this information to a whole new level by using it to my advantage. The tandem I've written on paper is the tandem I quite have in real life. There's a lot of shipping between these two personalities, and I see great potential. Each is strong in their own accord, and you can get a good debate session in between.

One time, I was reading a good old hardbound book of Dracula, and my ENTP homie gave me a funny look and mocked me for reading a "bible" in the middle of a lecture. *facepalm*

That's it!
