More For The Icons Meme

[calliopes_pen]

Answering a few more for that icon meme that was floating around a while ago. This time, it’s explaining three icons for nostalgia.

“Enough of your necromancy!” This is a wonderful line that Seward shouted at Van Helsing in Dracula (1968) during everything that goes down with Lucy being bitten by Dracula, and Seward didn’t want to hear Van Helsing. Well, not until later, when a particular illustration looked just like Dracula, and then it was Van Helsing denying it could be possible. The icon was made by thisbluespirit.

Yes, this one I think I very rarely use anymore. I think it was from The Fires of Pompeii, but I could be wrong. The icon was made by atellix.

This is from The End of Time. It was probably the beginning of part 2. The Tenth Doctor is briefly held prisoner by The Master after the latter became everyone on the planet. I have considered just deleting it more than once, since I don’t really use it anymore, but I do like it. The icon was made by jkpolk

Scene for that second icon is from Love and Monsters, actually. I was looking for screencaps for an icon myself the other day.

No wonder I was unsure! I only watched that one once, and have avoided it ever since.

(If it had been the Pompeii one, the TARDIS would have been gone, and not behind him.)

Haha I was about to post that and was thinking "should i out myself as liking most of love & monsters?" XD

I have a feeling it comes from even later, when they've just buried Lucy. One of the (many) things that make me giggle in Act Three - I think it comes just before Seward walks out on Van Helsing ("Lucy, whom I loved is dead.") and then comes back again so he can be persuaded into crypt-visiting adventures. (Why, Van Helsing, why? lol)

That's the moment, yes, when he's in his funeral garb. Thank you!

Why? Because it was fun for him to witness Seward's reactions to the supernatural, probably. He secretly loved that reaction would become clutching the flowers in despair and horror, of course.

LOL, he's such a meanie! I tend to explain it away as being that he needs a miner's canary, and Seward is nothing if not a miner's canary for vampires. (If there's a vampire anywhere nearby he will faint, sob, and/or fall into its clutches, giving Van Helsing warning.) But I'm not sure any logic works there, except maybe that he hoped Seward would clutch at him instead of the flowers.
