#VA series

[going-down-with-the-ship]

The way I can't stop watching this scene. Their breaths shake as their faces get close, their foreheads resting on each other's. Rose and Dimitri are CLINGING to each other. Making their last kiss for a while worth it. It's stunning but heartbreaking at the same time.

Thoughts on the new and sadly cancelled Vampire Academy series...

know I'm late to the debate but I just finished the series and I wanna chat about it (you can talk to me in Spanish too ;))

okay about the rose vs. dimitri 1.08 fight. first of all: messy. oh my god. so brutal. i agree that the whole situation between then felt resolved a little too quickly next episode, just with a short apology, but it think it was less of rose beating some sense into him and more her showing him like.....this is what they are doing to us. this is how we are seen. all dhamphirs are chess pieces for moroi to move and by obeying their rules blindly that is all we can ever be. i like how complex show!dimitri is when it comes to his code but that was a lesson that could only be taught in a cage match focusing around moroi succession. i think the situation was resolved quickly because by lying for rose (and sasha) next episode it felt like he actually started internalizing that he deserves more......of course then he immediately falls on his own sword for rose 😔 but hey. that's dimitri.

Why in the world would there not be a graphic audio of the VA series????

The news are bad but everyone knew it was coming.

Although the show was a lot different from the books, I enjoyed watching it. I am grateful VA fans got to see our favourite characters on screen once again, and especially grateful that this time we also got a glimpse of Adrian.

Big thank you to the cast and creators, and lets hope the show will be picked up by some other company.

So having now finished the Vampire Academy show, I really loved it. I loved the changes because the changes made it good TV.

But my favourite change? Dimitri's books. In the books he reads old Western Novels because they remind him of his childhood and family. Its cute, its sweet, and just kind ties into the whole Cowboy thing.

In the show he reads biographies. Specifically human biographies, and the ones whose titles we see tend to be Civil Rights leaders, and others who have fought for justice. Specifically we see 'I Have a Dream' - Reverand Martin Luther King, 'Long Walk to Freedom' - Nelson Mandela, and 'The Art of Happiness' - The Dalai Lama, all positioned so you can easily read their spines in a lingering shot when Rose visits Dimitri while he is under house arrest. There are other books in the piles, but the writing is upside down or obscured or otherwise difficulty to see at first glance.

I think its really interesting, because up until this point, Show!Dimitri is so resigned to what his life is, he's a Dhampir and because of that he is a Guardian because that is what he has been told is his only option his entire life. Anything else would be shameful. He's prepared to throw away love because attachments make his job harder. He's dedicated, he's seen what happens when he takes time for himself.

But he is also so desperately aware of how unfair the system is. We see it when he lets Sasha go, when he stays to protect the village, when he lies about it to protect Rose, and encourages her to keep lying. We see it when he and Rose talk about the system being unfair, and he seems so trapped, so convinced that all these rules and his way of life is keeping him in control, but agreeing with Rose that so much of it is just not right. We see it when he is furious about the tests and them adding a real Strigoi to test the students with out warning them. We see it when he *let Rose win* the Trial by Proxy, because he might agree with the Elementalists because of religion, he knows what they want to do to Dhampirs is wrong.

And the whole time he is making these little rebellions against the system, he's doing it with the knowledge that if he pushes too far there will be collateral damage. He can't just abandon the system, because lives will be list, and they won't be his own.

And then the biographies kind of click into place. Is he trying to make sense of his world? Or looking for advice and inspiration? Because if we get more seasons, I would not be surprised if we see Dimitri taking a stronger stance on Dhampir rights, potentially even working to advance them.

haven't been posting much but im SO disappointed the va series was cancelled. i actually found myself really enjoying the way the plot was zigzagged around and i appreciated that the dhamphir metaphor for oppression was like. actually expanded upon in a way i genuinely think the books skimmed over.......ill miss sisi as rose most of all 💔
