Hello y'all!

I've had a couple of enquiries lately regarding where I lurk, the best way to get in touch with me, and whether that's really me on Tumblr (spoiler alert: Yes), so hopefully this will be a nice catch-all. 😊🧵

The Man Himself... Count Dracula.

Only one week left until our first episode of Dracula: 2004 releases on the 4th of October! Are you ready for The Man Himself to slither into your ears?

Find our website here: dracula2004.wordpress.com

A piece of character art for Count Dracula in the podcast Dracula: 2004. In the top left corner, gothic script reads "The Man Himself". Dracula has long dark hair with a long beard and moustache. He wears a long, ragged black cloak and has red eyes. Behind him is a lit, old-fashioned lantern, and he carries a series of old-fashioned keys on a long red ribbon. The colour scheme of the art is black and dark red.

Walking on air, quite literally. 🌬

I truly cannot wait to play the EVERYTHING that this character is. I cannot wait even MORE for you all to hear him (and I'm pretty sure he can't wait, either). 😊

Such a lovely script and such a talented cast! Let's gooooo.

Every story needs a good antagonist and ours comes in the form of Zephyr- voiced by the astounding @anusiabattersby.bsky.social!

A picture of Anusia Battersby in a heart made of chain links with two daggers through it. Below the picture is text reading “Anusia Battersby (she/her) as Zephyr” in cursive font. To the right is their bio in a printed font. “Anusia Battersby (She/Her) is a UK-based actor, writer, game designer, and all-round nerd. She is perhaps best known for her role as Gwendolyn Bouchard in The Magnus Protocol, and is extremely excited to be playing another character whose chief occupation appears to be "make everything worse for everyone". In-between attempting to learn Ancient Greek, practising the ukulele, and playing far too much Blood on the Clocktower, she is currently in the process of devising her second solo show, Unmasked, which will debut at the Edinburgh Horror Festival later this year.”

Fun fact: Lou and I discovered we had been cast opposite each other in this scene completely by chance.

We both started chatting about roles we were recording and suddenly went "... wait a second". 😂

Anyhoo, go listen!
