@REIGNSBACH *SPOILER WARNING*
They don't. Dracula certainly *wants* to rip off Jonathan's clothes (and his possessiveness only increases), but due to Jonathan not being interested (due to the whole "I LOVE my fiancée" thing) and his cluelessness that he's in a horror novel, it doesn't happen
@kayherfreakout Which makes sense because it's been 500 YEARS FFS. Except Dracula doesn't like that, so when Mina refuses to get back together, Dracula starts harming the people she loves, then SA's her.
@FinalIncorrect Jonmina: when *even Tumblr* ships a straight couple, you KNOW it's well written.
And will severely distort your expectations about relationships.
@komradekhris@starswheeled Dracula steals all of his papers when he catches Jonathan writing to Mina and *burns the letter*. Jonathan has no way to write back after that.
@justthat1guyy@starswheeled Jonathan/Mina couldn't wait to get out of Jonathan's asylum bed to rip tgeir clothes off, and they survived.
Lucy, being unmarried, dies a virgin. If anything, the novel is all for women having an active sex life, it just puts in a MASSIVE caveat of "make. Sure. It's. Consensual
@mavroskeravnos In the novel, Jonathan and Mina couldn't keep it in their pants to get out of Jonathan's asylum bed. They aren't sexually repressed, they're manogamous. Big difference.
@audreywhornee Jonathan, in some adaptations: *leaves Mina after she metephorically gets sexually assaulted by Dracula*
Book!Jonathan: *would literally rather burn in hell*
