"As for me, I have already made up my mind. If Mina becomes a vampire, I will not let her enter this unknown and terrible universe alone. I suppose that in ancient times, vampires multiplied in this way: so that their hateful bodies could rest only on holy ground, the holiest love must have recruited many soldiers for its armies."
Could Jonathan be the first potential literary character for the "I would die for her" topic? I swear I have no idea of any classics older than "Dracula" that had a character in his full consciousness take such an action as Harker did for Mina.

How can people making Dracula adaptations look at todays events and be like yeah let’s put a dracumina romance in this… it’s actually appalling.
Para se relacionar plenamente com outro, você precisa primeiro relacionar-se consigo mesmo. Se não conseguimos abraçar nossa própria solidão, simplesmente usaremos o outro como um escudo contra o isolamento. Somente quando consegue viver como a águia, sem absolutamente qualquer público, você consegue se voltar para outra pessoa com amor. Somente então é capaz de se preocupar com o engrandecimento do outro ser humano.

okay my roman empire is how great could be tv show zoyalai played by patrick and sujaya. i mean they had only one scene where their characters look at each other and i already know that i would die for them
i really can’t stress enough how much i recommend regularly engaging with older art– movies, books, whatever. like, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” and all that, but also, there’s just something really fascinating and kind of beautiful about reading something written by someone who lived so long ago and really connecting with it, recognizing the humanity of people who once seemed like abstract concepts to you
I know it's early and that our good friend Jonathan Harker has already arrived in Bistrita, but does anyone have a JonMina playlist? I want to be prepared for when our couple meets again :)
Now I can understand why people have a certain obsession with Zoyalina lol Rereading S&S (actually I've already finished it) I realize how obsessed Alina is with Zoya, I dare say that she is more than Nikolai in her entire duology (of course this was just ironic) but it's real she exalts Zoya in a way that makes any feelings she has for Maly seem like a facade.
Rereading the Grisha trilogy I find myself wondering, as I go through the chapters of S&S and R&R, would there be a possibility that LB had Zoyalai in mind while creating the first three books? The interactions between both are nothing, we could count on our fingers the times when they are both in the same place or when Zoya asks something and Nikolai answers (and let's not forget when Alina told him who he should marry by putting "a Grisha like Zoya" as an option and he was TOTALLY aware of her presence). Maybe I'm too fascinated with my Zoyalai but I stop every time their names are close together in a paragraph, line by line, on the same page.
Count Dracula: "Hahahahaha! I will make you my thrall, and you will obey me for all eternity!"
Mina, trembling with rage: "Fucker who I am going to dox right this fucking second says what?"
The Count: "What-"
Mina: "I mean this in the nicest, most pitying and pious way: Die <3"
Dracula: "wh--"
Mina: "Jonathan, darling, be sure to show him mercy when you find him in his little dirt box which is currently at sea and fleeing back to his hidey hole castle in the Carpathians <3"
Dracula: "Hang on,"
Jonathan, kukri out: "I named it Mercy <3" 🔪
someone recreates an image of nikolai as king and a dragon behind (representing zoya) an epic image
I've been wondering since the 6th how Dracula took over practically my entire year and I'm still wandering around waiting for something to happen, but then I remember that next year is about to start and HE'S COMING BACK SOON! It's almost comical this whole situation
Dracula daily is over.
What am I supposed to do with my life now??
