Mina After Reading Jonathan's Journal:

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??

❗️STOP PAIRING MINA W/ DRACULA❗️

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 ❗️❗️❗️❗️

Rule of Wolves - Zoya ch. 9

- 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.

This is a Gothic Romance - October 11, Dracula

"I believe that neither I nor anyone else in this world could describe the strange scene that followed - solemn, somber, melancholy, terrible, and yet tender." -- this is how Seward tries to show us the affectionate passion of the Harkers

After everyone makes the promise to Mina about her death, Jonathan asks her:

"Must I also make that promise, my wife?" Mina answers him (this part brings tears to my eyes every time I read it) "You too, my love. And you must not hesitate. You are the one I love most, you are my world. Our souls are united forever and ever, for eternity. Remember, my love, the brave men who in times past killed their wives so that they would not fall into enemy hands. Their hands remained steady, for the women themselves begged to be killed. It is a man's duty, in turbulent times, to those he loves! And, my love, if I must be killed, may it be by the hands of the one who loves me most. (…) If that time comes, I count on Mr. "Van Helsing" to ensure that my husband will keep for the rest of his life the happy memory of having been the one to free me from this terrible curse."

The climax of the scene is when he asks Jonathan to recite the Office of the Dead as a way of keeping his beloved's voice in his memory:

"I would like you to do this for me, my love, because I will carry with me forever the memory of your voice, no matter what happens!"
