#Mina and Dracula

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you.” by Anna Jäger-Hauer

Dracmina is a great tragic gothic love story, and I don't care what the antis have to say to me on the subject.

Mina: "Alright, everyone pinkie swear right now to put Vampire Me down if I hop the line between death and undeath."

Van Helsing and the Suitor Squad: "Depressing, but sure, absolutely."

Jonathan:

Mina: "...Jonathan?"

Jonathan: "Yes?"

Mina: "Will you promise to slay me if I get vampire'd?"

Jonathan: "Mina, I will not lie to you."

Jonathan:

Mina: "Jonathan. I need you to look me in the eye and promise to murder me martyr-style if I get too undead."

Jonathan: "Fine. I can promise to kill."

Mina: "Me? Vampire me?"

Jonathan, making unbroken eye contact with the four guys who just promised to behead and impale his wife if she stops being human enough: "I guarantee there will be killing involved if Vampire You happens."

Winona Ryder on the set of Bram Stoker's Dracula

[can-of-w0rmz]

So, the Nosferatu movie was surprisingly good

[iamnmbr3]

Remember the bit in the book that's like -

Jonathan Harker: The only good vampire is a staked vampire.

Mina: I got bitten. I'm turning into a vampire.

Jonathan: No. We're turning into a vampire. Satan here we come.

[darklinaforever]

OH MY FUCKING GOD ?! A video released today of Dracmina ?! So the fandom is not dead !

[rikiteekeetavee]

This is why no matter what, Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula and every tv show and musical out there will never be hated close to enough actually

[see-arcane]

Van Helsing: “I hope it’s okay if I, a man-stranger, compliment your wife in front of you”

Jonathan ‘Does Not Know What a Jealousy Is’ Harker: “I have my entire schedule cleared in the hopes of hearing people talk about how great Mina is. Please go on.”

[ash-tree-eyes]

Mina, writing to Lucy: I cannot wait to hear how Jonathan is doing on his travels! He must be having such a lovely time <3

Jonathan, in his diary: OH GOD OH FUCK HE CAN CLIMB WALLS LIKE A LIZARD NOW. I HAVE ONLY A CRUCIFIX FOR PROTECTION AND I AM GOING TO DIE TO A LIZARD MAN. THERE IS NO WAY OF ESCAPE SO I MAY AS WELL WRITE MY GOODBYES. FAREWELL MINA!!!
