How Mina Murray Became Dracula's Girlfriend

And in honor of hearing from Mina today, enjoy this awesome video essay! Because seeing people talk about how much the adaptations ruined the story is my bread and butter!

Re: Lucy Westenra & Mina Murray-Harker

It is that time of year again, folks!

Princess and I discussed our impressions on the show after watching the first episode of Season 2 at the NY premiere event last week. We had such a great time! I also recorded footage of the event itself, but as this video was already an hour long, I'm going to use the rest of that for a separate video.

There’s no possible way Princess Weekes could have known this was going to be the exact right week to release this video, but man is it good that she did

Why We Fall for Monsters by Princess Weekes

[themiserablechick]

Like im Not going to pretend that i am not and avid Coriolanus Snow fanfic enjoyer but when I think about to hard it makes my head hurt, like this man is evil like genuinely evil and does absolutely disgusting things, and amoung TikTok and tumblr it’s almost forgiven because of pretty white boy tears. I know joke have seen “why did Lucy leave :(“ takes and almost blaming her for him being batshit insane when he has obviously always been this way.

The hunger games fan base loves to insert themselves into this world built by Suzanne Colin’s while not realizing that this isn’t fake or pretend this is real this is happening right now and it’s easy to pretend to be in warfare when you’re not actually in it but there are people who are dying in real life, Coriolanus Snow isn’t a made up figure but inspired by real life atrocities. (Like guys I literally saw “what id wear in the hunger games” tiktok”) We must face that in the hunger games we are not rebels we ooo and aw and gawk at the eccentrics, of it all. (This also leads back to my Finnick take that some people hated but whatever.)

We see children in the capital of the hunger games wear Katniss inspired braids that’s who we are truly, to have the ability to fantasize about warfare or rebellion and not having to worry about our houses being bombed.

and I’m not excusing myself from this behavior because guys I love to read a good Coriolanus fic I am apart of the problem I know this. I am complicit we are all complicit. And I’m not telling people to not write it obviously it’s just something to think about.

Side note: on my Finnick take I got a lot of “he’s not real! He’s a character and he’s hot shut up.” and sure Finnick isn’t real but he represents something very real he represents very real people.

Anyway watch the Princess Weekes Video about this she’s smarter than me
