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" 🔪
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??
A gente vai se privando de viver por medo,

HELP
someone recreates an image of nikolai as king and a dragon behind (representing zoya) an epic image
Really excited to see a new group of people understand why a lot of us REALLY don’t like Dracmina in general and adaptations after this Dracula daily thing.
Johnathan and Mina did not go through this shit for that. (Believe me I am all for vampire love stories but this one ain’t it. Usually team vamp, this time .. no no.)
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
When I see people fighting with darklina shippers I wonder what they took from the Shadow and Bone trilogy. And I don't mean the basic things like "he's a bad person". I mean the fact the story is at it's core a story on how different people process the struggles of war, and the outcome of their actions while doing so.
I wonder if they understand malina is not the good, healthy ship, but rather the result of two very young orphans who lost everything and everyone else and bonded on an unhealthy level, to the point where Alina is willing to give up parts of herself to fit Mal's insecurities.
It's not meant to be cute and fluffy. It just is. And in that sense, I wonder if they actually look at the darkling as the full character that Leigh worked her butt off to portray, past the "ewwww, this man is problematic". Especially in times like right now, where genocide and "how far is too far when you are responding to aggression" are being openly discussed by everyone.
Sure, it's easy to reduce the darkling to this toxic abuser. It fits a box you can check and not think about it later, but I find that to be a disservice to Leigh. So many of you are old enough to think about what makes a character tick, and the context that the story is giving you, regardless if you find the characters' actions justifiable or not, and I see so little of that nowadays in every fandom. Where is y'all's media literacy? Comprehension skills? The ability to reflect on such a complex universe as is the grishaverse?
People are allowed to ship the two characters that are opposite sides of the same coin, and grieve over the boy the darkling was and the man he could have been, before the weight of war destroyed him.
Alina certainly did.
Lucy is stronger then me cuz if I would've married Quincy the first 5 seconds after seeing him
Just start, just take the first step and everything will flow...
gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
