Dracula is by far, my most favourite "villain". Because he effectively denounced God, for love. Or more, the love he lost. The only thing that stops him from completely losing his humanity, after all the slaughtering he did. Now that's love!!! 👏👏

That's how you get people to click on your thumbnail these days, unfortunately. At least the characters didn't have the "jaw unhinged with fake shock" look that some many channels adopt for their thumbnail pics. I unsubscribe from any channel when they feel the need to pander to the weak-minded by making stupid thumbnail faces. Not that unnecessary over sexualization is all that great, but all media does that. As far as the "mouth agape" thing, that is a particular 'internet video only' phenomenon. I don't recall ever seeing the weather report guy on TV pulling an "oh" face. Not that I've turned on a TV since 2001.

I’m a huge fan of Bram Stokers book. I’ve also read the Swedish / Icelandic version which is also fantastic. I think ( just my opinion ) that Dracula is the last truly gothic English novel. Many people, myself included, are fond of Le Fanu’s 1872 novella, Carmilla, which Stoker admired, which is thought to be a inspiration for Stoker to write Dracula. I would like to add my name to the legions of people who will tell you that Stoker did not base his character on Vlad, he was inspired by Vlad. EDIT: I was so excited to see this particular episode that I just began to write this, while listening to it. I’m going to have to play this over again, but I look forward to this,👻.

It does depend on how much is tranfused as well as compatibility, but generally, yeah, it is pretty dangerous. The amount transfused is fairly self-explanatory. Compatibility is along the same lines but does have a little more wiggle room. If the compatibility is more-or-less nonexistent (e.g. A+ to O-), then the danger is pretty high, and it being fatal is arguably probable. If there is some compatibility (e.g. O+ to O-), there could still be some danger, but the lethality risk is much lower, though it is still possible, particularly if the recipient has some sort of blood-borne condition. As for blood types, for most parts of the world, O+ is the most common, so there is some degree of natural safety, but it is not much because of the second most common being A+ (a few Far Eastern nations have B+ as their second). In general, the "-" subtypes are uncommon if not rare, but they are always prevalent just enough to pose a not-insignificant risk if no prior screening is done. There have been records of _some_ knowledge of blood compatibility prior to 1900, which is when the discovery of the ABO system is credited (it is not the only system, but it is the most utilized for transfusions). Testing was extremely basic - and not exactly aimed at identifying - but otherwise straightforward: take blood samples from two different people, mix them together, and if they did not turn into a solidifying mess after a certain amount of time, then it was reasonably safe to transfuse. Of course, the actual transfusion came with risks of its own, but generally, the worst possible outcomes were screened with this. Mind you, this was hardly foolproof (nothing is), but it certainly worked.
