Dracul

Previously on Dracul: Catherine had received another letter from Wooman Lousty and Laidee Alwoof, telling her where to meet them tomorrow in preparation for the ball. Though delighted, Catherine became heavy-hearted when reminiscing on times when she would go with Dracul. Later on in the day, a disheveled Sartrum had made his way over the Mansion Castle place of residence and tried to force himself on Catherine, casting his magic over Catherine’s bedroom door so that Zazu could not come to her aid. Dracul came from underground and scared away Sartrum with a truly unholy sight, collapsing on the ground after Sartrum left as the sun began to kill him.

TW: This episode contains references of violent content that may be disturbing to some listeners. I acknowledge that this content may be difficult and encourage you to do what is best for you.

Hello there, my friends! This is the very first episode where we follow Sartrum's perspective to see why he showed up so disheveled and desperate to get Catherine back. I experimented a bit in this episode to make it seem more "horrific" than others due to the estranged nature of Sartrum's past, which he is reliving. Sounds like a lot of trauma is going on (hint: because there is!) I hope that everyone is staying as safe and healthy as they can in these trying times. We must remember that we are stronger together and weaker divided. 

I hope you thoroughly enjoy this episode, as there are more to come! If you like following Sartrum's perspective and would like to hear more episodes similar to this in the future, be sure to follow the official Dracul Instagram page @dracul.podcast ! See you in the next episode. :)

Previously on Dracul: Catherine had painted a very unsettling image that chilled even Zazu to the core whilst Dracul found it comforting. Funani thanked Catherine for her hospitality and was able to walk around and feel better due to his love’s medicines that he carried with himself, then took it upon himself to leave the “enemy’s” domain. Catherine’s mind was filled with Funani, causing jealousy to rise within Dracul as he confessed his “feelings” once more for Catherine. He told her of how Veronica would have been jealous of her for she, Catherine, was his true partner and only one for him. The two then ended the night in a fit of passion and longing for one another.

Good morning / afternoon / evening to you! I've been taking a long time to review the scripts of future episodes for this podcast in order to really think about what I want my next step to be. I want to make Dracul as entertaining to you as it is to me, which is why I've been lacking in putting out new episodes lately. I promise I have not forgotten about any of you! I can see that this podcast is growing both in my country and in others, such as Germany, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you! I hope you are all staying safe in these historic times. Dracul is here for you when you need to take a break. :)

See you in the next episode!

Previously on Dracul: Dracul brought the beaten Funani back to his castle mansion place of residence and placed him in one of the rooms, and went to Catherine to help nurse Funani back to a stable condition. The next morning, Catherine brought breakfast for her and Funani while they chatted for a while. Though Catherine knows very well about Funani’s love back home, it seems that her heart is battling her mind.

Hello, everyone! I am ALIIIVE!!! I apologize for the very large gap in between this episode and the last. I've been incredibly busy with university as I have also been unsatisfied with some of my writing for Dracul. Of course, I'm not talking about the episodes that I've released, but the one's that I have yet to. I don't like where I'm at with it so far, so I'm brainstorming on how to get back on track with an even better storyline. Do be patient with me! There is also another project I've been working on... a book! Though this book has nothing to do with The World of Dracul, it is also a story that I have been developing in my mind for years now and only just have the courage to write it. Yes, it is also fiction and yes, it is a novel (or at least it will be.) So in between school, organizations I'm a part of, my podcast, and my book, I have a lot on my plate, not to mention work. 

However, I hope that you are all doing well, nonetheless! I'll see you in the next episode of Dracul! :)

Previously on Dracul: Catherine spent the day *almost* alone, seeing that she had the pleasant company of Zazu there with her as she took a break from all of the chaos in her life. An old friend reached out to her via letter, wanting to meet up with her again and she hastily agreed to both a girl’s day and a make-over. Later that evening Dracul went to find the drunkard who had harassed Catherine twice within the past five years and many more women, for sure. Funani showed up and the two fought over the man’s life, which ultimately met its demise in Dracul’s hands as Funani tried to process just how strong Dracul is.

Good morning / afternoon / evening, Draculants! If you're new here, hello! And what are you doing here, go to the first episode. If you're not new here, it's great to see you again! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween, if you celebrate it. If not, that's okay, too! I hope you are all doing well. School and work is getting a bit busier than usual, but I have not forgotten about you! You belong in the World of Dracul. See you in the next episode!

Previously on Dracul: Funani hesitantly accepted that Catherine made the decision to go back to her room in Dracul’s mansion castle place of residence, which she considers to be her home. Being pushed to her limits, it seems as though Catherine was becoming numb until Dracul became too excited to have her in his reach, causing him to overstep her boundaries. She then snapped at Dracul in a fit of rage and exhaustion, finally getting her message across to him. As she then began to settle back into her room, she noticed that her flower vase was filled once more.

Good morning / afternoon / evening, my Draculants! Or perhaps I should stick with "listeners" or "friends"? Mm... nah, you're Draculant-worthy! :) I hope you are all doing well and keeping healthy in pandemic times! 

I'm sorry for not releasing an episode last month, for my life has recently gotten busier each day. Do forgive me! If not, well, oopsie-daisy! I also just purchased a new microphone to use specifically for this podcast, so I must play around with it and figure out how to use it.

My heart goes out to men, women, and children in Afghanistan under this unruly time; please do what you can to bring awareness and sign petitions / donate to these families if you can. If you are a believer, please pray; if you are not, please hope and have hope. I know just how stressful life can be, which is why it is so imperative that we treat ourselves kindly and take breaks when we need to as to avoid getting burnt out. Remember to relax by doing what you enjoy, listening to music, or even to this podcast. The World of Dracul is always here for you. <3

Previously on Dracul: Funani took Catherine to a calm, open-late cafe in the town plaza where he talked more about his love life to help get Catherine’s mind off of things. It worked for a while as they drank their espressos until they were rudely interrupted by the creepy, wide man from the first episode. It was then that Dracul had revealed himself, shielding Catherine from him. Funani then saved the man from meeting his demise that night and questioned whether he really knew Dracul’s true intentions.

Remember to continue to stay safe out there from both illnesses and in general just stay safe! I hope you are all doing well and better if you've had a rough time lately. I hope you also enjoy this episode, it may be short but it was necessary! Happy early or late birthdays to all of you, mine is approaching very quickly. Life flies by too fast, so enjoy it while you can. <3

See you all in the next episode, or in other episodes as you return to the World of Dracul! :)

Previously on Dracul: Sartrum was struggling to process the fact that Dracul had been glamoured by Catherine and was only able to come to his senses when dragged inside by a frustrated Funani. Catherine, tired of both Sartrum and Dracul, welcomed Funani’s company and learned more about his history and background on how he came to be a lycanthrope. When finished, Funani could no longer bear to see Catherine be tortured by the two and took her away from the entire situation at hand.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, Draculants! Here is a fun fact that I found out while doing some research for this episode: espressos became popular in Italy circa 1901 when they were first introduced to the espresso machines! Personally, I love coffee but I only drink it with soy milk and if it's decaf, as well! I used to be able to drink coffee, but it just gets me anxious now, haha, but I still love the taste, hence the decaf. Do you like coffee? If so, what drinks? For example, I enjoy mochas and macchiatos. <3

I hope you are staying safe and healthy in this crazy time. Remember to wear a mask and get vaccinated if you can and are willing to for both your sake and those around you! :)

Previously on Dracul: It has been revealed that Funani is the lycanthrope who tackled Dracul onto the ground, claiming that his duty is to protect mankind from the evil clutches of the vampire. Afterwards, Sartrum coaxed Catherine into confessing how exactly she is attracted to Dracul. She then hastily excused herself to rant with Zazu while Dracul absent-mindedly admits that he is, indeed, glamoured by Catherine, who is just a human.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to you all! I hope you are all feeling very positive and staying safe. I do want to apologize if I mispronounced anything in this podcast; I was doing research to see how to pronounce certain words, such as unKulukulu, and names, but, ultimately, I couldn't find many reliable resources. I also wanted to apologize for posting this episode so late, I've been having quite a busy semester in school; however, I already have future episodes written out!

If you're feeling stressed out and wanting to escape our world for a little while, just press play and enter the World of Dracul! I will see you all in the next episode. :)

Previously on Dracul: Sartrum confronted Dracul outside of his house as Catherine was asleep in his bedroom. A fight then broke out between the two, which Sartrum nearly lost his life in, and would have if it weren't’ for Catherine, who intervened at either the right, or wrong, time. As Dracul was trying to convince her to leave with him, a wolf-like creature tackled Dracul onto the ground with great power.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, my friends! I apologize for not uploading last month, but I'm here now! I hope you all are staying safe in this pandemic by wearing your mask when you go out, staying six feet away from others, and just overall doing what is best for you and those around you! It was a pretty crazy start to 2021 here in the U.S.A., so that just gives even more reason to stay safe and hopeful for a better future this year and the following years. 

If you need a break from the stress of this world, are wanting to hear a story, needing a background sound for when you're doing work / homework, or if you're bored then come to the World of Dracul! We will always be here for you! <3

Previously on Dracul: Over a period of weeks, Dracul has been in a drunken frenzy-like state, feeding on anyone he could find, which is very much unlike him. All while doing this, Sartrum and Catherine have been getting closer as she finds life to be a bit more bearable than when she found out that all of Dracul’s feelings were a lie. After spending time apart from each other, Dracul had decided that it was finally time to pay Catherine a visit.

Good day / morning / afternoon / evening / winter solstice / summer solstice / spring thing / earth life, my friends! I do apologize for such a late episode. This took me months to edit and mix and, quite frankly, I wanted to get it out ASAP! Forgive me!! How is school, your job, or life in general going? It's been a really rough year for everyone, so please remember to stay safe, treat yourself, wear a mask, and be kind to yourself. As cheesy as it is, it's true when they say that there is always a rainbow after it rains. 

Hang in there, take a break from reality by entering the world of Dracul! I'll see you in the next episode!
