four days late, oh my god, here’s my tanz der vampire secret santa gift for the wonderful @kahorifutunaka ! the couple of interactions we had were wonderful, and i found myself really intrigued by your affection for historical costumes – so here, have:
- the last portrait Krolock had commissioned before he was turned (~1590?), and
- the last daguerrotype taken of him before the events of TDV (~1890?) (maybe herbert got him out of his old bats’ clothes into something more modern for the photographer 👀)
i tried my best to keep them historically accurate, and i hope you like them !
edit: i forgot to specify the likeness is (approximately) based on egyházi géza, since you said your favorite tanz production is vámpírok bálja (and i forgot to ask who your favorite graf is! sorry! D:)
(here are the original paintings without the aging varnish or daguerrotype distortions (x) (x))
Tag: graf von krolock
And there he is, Javert!Krolock (at least that’s how I call him XD) Florian Fetterle. A great addition to the cast indeed! I found this video and believe it’s the show I watched 😀

I have been…”tagged”?
@fish-d has apparently “tagged” me, which, as my assistant tells me, means I should fill in the list below.
relationship status: widowed
favorite color: black
lipstick or chapstick: I think that is a question you should direct towards my son.
three favorite foods: The young, the willing, and the innocent. Ideally, my “food” should fulfill all of these criteria at once.
last song I listened to: Herbert has been listening to a song called “Blank Space” all day and I have been subjected to it as well as my son tends to turn the volume on his device up to deafening levels.
last movie I watched: I was shown Hotel Transylvania not too long go. Entertaining, if somewhat ludicrous.
top 3 shows: When I do watch television, it’s mostly news programs.
books: I am currently re-reading “Die Fledermaus”. It’s still as cringeworthy as it was a century ago.
tagging: I am familiar enough with any of you youngsters to “tag” you, but I feel like my son might derive some enjoyment from this sort of game.
From his room in the sky

to the night
to the trees,
to all who cannot sleep–
his high sorrows.

THE SUREST PLEASURE of the Autumn is the Day when I may at last be Justified in wearing my Good Wool Stockings and Furs; and strut about the House to my Niece’s Dismay, in the Attitude of a Cossack Soldier.
Finally getting started on the domestic fluff sketch-prompts I asked for. I’ve gotten quite a lot of them and I don’t think I’ll be able to do them all, but I’ll try and get some done over the course of the week C:
First off, have some Krodad and baby Herbert again; requested by Sir 😀 Also anyone who thinks Krolock didn’t sit down with Herbert to build castles out of blocks and legos and stuff is just wrong bye
Krolock stepping on a Lego :’D
on a positive note, I think my favorite scene of tanz(And the one that sums up krolock the best) has to be his melodramatic monologue in Vor Dem Schloss that ends in “Boo!!….hehehehe”
… … BUH! … … hehehehe
how morally corrupt is your 19th century love interest on a scale of “aloof rich guy who doesn’t know how to express his feelings” to “has a secret wife in the attic” and “tries to dig up your grave so he can embrace your dead body”
