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.)
HERE WE GO, GIRLS! The feeling of déjà vu will be constant, but it will always feel like the first time. May it be a smooth journey for our good friend Jonathan Harker and may he be able to jot down as many recipes and interesting facts about his stay as possible to finally share with his beloved fiancée, Mina Murray.
We have been waiting for this moment for a long time and I am so excited!
- Don't go - he begged, still half asleep. - I have to take a shower. I smell like a forest fire. - You smell like wildflowers. As always. What can I say to make you stay? - His words became a sleepy murmur as he fell asleep again.
Tell me it's more than war and worry that makes you speak these words. Tell me what they would mean if you were not a king and I were not a soldier. (...)
She brushed the hair away from his face and kissed his forehead.
- I'd stay forever if I could - she whispered. He wouldn't remember anyway.
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
Today is October 4th and I had forgotten about this image
the day dawns babes
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 :)
Silly wee Jonathan Harker warmup sketch idk if I’ll ever finish
someone recreates an image of nikolai as king and a dragon behind (representing zoya) an epic image
PERFECT observation
Had Dracula been capable of subtlety instead of lizarding around in front of his human guest, Jonathan would have just concluded he was a lonely, eccentric old man. He could have introduced Dracula to his friends as "this foreign nobleman who's really, really, really into London" and no one would have suspected him of anything because they'd think of him as a harmless teaboo who can't possibly be dangerous
but Dracula had no subtlety.
"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.
My girl does NOT deserve that 🙄
He is nasty 🤢 and gross 🤮
Meanwhile Jonathan and Lucy 😍 love her 😆
Mina clearly 😡 HATES 😡 Dracula 🧛🏽♂️ and the only sympathy she has for him 😔😢 is ❗️UNEARNED ❗️ because Mina is so kind 😊
They hardly interact 🤔 and when Mina DOES meet him 🤝🏽 she INSULTS him ❗️❗️❗️❗️
