[aslanvlad]

Guys holy fucking shit !!!!!!!!!!!!

[kazu-naito]

the HAIR im gonna lose my mind

[xx-rpr]

I'm sorry but I want Lale's death to be a bit dramatic...

From Davina's screams in The Originals..

To the dramatic falls of inevitability (from Dracula Untold and The Amazing Spider-man 2)..

and to the holding of your dear one that's slowly fading in your arms...

[thisghosts-obsessions-again]

My heart can't take this sweetness! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

[haitianempress]

I see why DALS fans want that update so badly

I'm taking back what I said...Dracula a Love Story is GOOD! BUT the past is what really draws me in. Idc about the regular life like girl go paint so you can find out more.

I just finished season 4 and in my opinion that's the best season in the story. I like how everything is getting pieced together to get the full story of Vlad and Lale's story. All that's left is to find out what exactly happened to Lale, how to get rid of Vlad 's darkness, and what happened to Lale's cousins that cause them to be cursed or whatever.

Noe's backstory is amazing like WOW! Vlad earned my respect cause he really didn't want to hurt Lale but he's the way he is because he loved her so much 🥹. And Leo has the most interesting backstory out of all the characters. I mean holy shit this boy survived being killed and he was able to get the sword promised to him?? King Aslan OK!!

I can see why their readers are in a desperate need for the update. THE STORY IS GOOD 💯. DALS on 🔝 🧛🏻‍♂️👸🏽🧑🏼‍🦰

So this is mostly a Choices blog but some of you know that I've recently started playing Romance Club as well because 1) there are some really good books on RC, 2) the art, and 3) to compare both apps. I could probably make this a series(?) to compare and contrast the two but here's one of the main things I've noticed playing both apps:

The Difference in Pacing

Background: The clear reason for this is because of how the books are set up. On Choices, each completed book is approx. 16 chapters (like a movie) while on RC, the book is typically 3 seasons with around 10-12 episodes (like a tv show). So a book like Open Heart, for instance, would be 3 seasons under one title instead of 3 separate books since they occur within a close period. This is different from a series like Heaven's Secret, which has two separate books that span ten years apart.

I bring this up because I assume this difference explains why the pacing in both apps is so different. I can use Blades II, Kindred, Theodora, and DALS as an example.

I've brought this up already, but one of my biggest gripes with Blades II was the very odd pacing. The beginning of the book (in my opinion) took longer than necessary to start the plot and there was a little too much filler with less time to focus on new lore the themes ate tho and I'm grateful we got another book.

Kindred has a similar issue. The concept of a witch book was cool and they had a good plot, but 16 chapters weren't enough to explore everything they wanted to with the book. The ending was rushed and it felt way too easy to defeat the Wraith King. Do I still love this book? Yes. Do I think the authors did well with the amount of time they were given? Also yes. But the rushed plot does make it hard to recommend it since PB is capable of handling a lot of plot (RE: Blades I).

On the other hand, Theodora has 3 seasons and the whole immortality arc (the premise of the book) wasn't explained until near the end of S2. We had an entire season to explore the character and at least half of a second season to explore her life after she realized she was immortal but without knowing why (human -> immortal -> realizing how she became immortal and starts controlling her power). As a result, it becomes easier to get attached to her since we spent more time getting to know her still one of my favorite MCs.

Dracula: A Love Story still can't believe it has 4 seasons spent an entire season before revealing Vlad's identity even though it's in the title. In comparison, PB would have done three chapters of leaving MC in the dark before revealing who Vlad is with the rest of the book being allotted to helping him. I get that we needed to see all the visions and stuff but personally, I feel like I was more invested in Lale and would have read an entire book about her, Aslan, and Vlad. I swear I don't hate DALS please don't be offended lol.

Am I saying I prefer RC to Choices? Not necessarily, I have problems with RC too mostly regarding representation, and I also know it wouldn't be fair to compare the apps since they are set up differently. I just thought this was something interesting to point out.

Hello, I actually just realised that I have missed one soul light point in dals and I don't remember how and when. Will it affect the ending in a negative way? Do we have to collect ALL of them in order to be able to select the choice in future? Or did the author not specify 😔

Hello!! Here's when the 6 soul light points (so far, as of November 2023) were obtained:

You'll need a good relationship with Hasan, so either choose him instead of Aslan in 1x01, or adopt his dog ("I will take her" (26💎)) in 1x02. I would just adopt the dog, to be safe, cause then he forgives you if you choose Aslan. You must then keep going to the river every time you can (I think. Do it to be safe). Finally, in 4x01, "Will guide you across the river" (45💎)

1x10 - "Follow Vlad" → "Create instead of destroying. To honor your loved ones"

1x12 - "Let him go!" + "Save him, please!"

2x13 - "Help him and return the candle" + "Kill him!"

This one involves three choices in three separate episodes. First, 3x05 - Let Nuray spend the night ("I get her and won't stand in her way"). Then, 3x06 - "I'll give her something from my jewels" (23💎). And finally, 4x05 - "No. I gave it to her willingly"

3x14 - "Will do it. I'll go to Vlad."

We have no idea what they will be used for or if we will need all of them! The checkpoint in 4x02 needed all the soul light points available until that point, so it's possibly a sign we will need all of them in the finale 😅

I hope this could be a bit helpful! Let me know if anything was unclear! 🫂❤️

Odamın camlarından süzülerek içeriyi turlayan dolunayın ışıklarıyla pencereye doğru yol alıyorum. Pencerenin önüne vardığımda fark ediyorum ki iki dal bir o yana bir bu yana odamın duvarlarında gel gitlerle voltalar atıyor.

Dolunayın bir odaya hapsettiği iki dal bir gece de iki özgürlük mahkumu gibi davranıyor. Oysa benim şahit olacaklarıma şahit olsunlar istiyorum. Pencerenin kıyısından gökyüzüne doğru dolunaya bir baktığımda bir anda samanyolunun milyonlarca yıldızı arasında kaybolmaya başlıyorum. Kayboluyorum kaybolmasına da özgürlüğü de anca o kadar geniş bir sonsuzlukta bulabiliyorum.

Oysa bizler dünyanın neresine gidersek gidelim. Hiç bir zaman insanın zalimce uygulamalarından dolayı, insanın o öfke, kin, nefret bakışları altında asla özgürleşemeyeceğiz. O iki dal gibi bir odaya hapsolursak belki de milyonlarca insanın arasından dolaşmaktan daha özgür olacağız.

[what-do-you-mean-theyre-evil]

Replaying Dals from the beginning and I am sick with how much this trio loves each other from episode 1.

A galera ta passando dos limites com esses rumores. A Veronica pode ter N motivos pra não escrever o roteiro do episódio para o próximo update e nós nunca saberemos porque acredito que ela quer manter a privacidade dela.

Se eu tivesse que adivinhar o porquê DALS tem um pacing tão lento, eu diria que pode ter a ver com inspiração. Eu escrevo as vezes também e sei como é difícil, bloqueio de escrita é complicado.

Por mais que demore, eu prefiro que a Veronica termine o livro no tempo dela do que rushar as coisas e o plot ficar mais bagunçado ainda. Ta faltando um pouco de compreensão por parte do pessoal, tão falando cada coisa dela que nossa...

Sobre o episódio:

NOSSA, SIM! Você falou tudo que me incomodou no último update haujahaha o plot dos anjos veio muito tarde na história, eu fiquei pensando "tudo isso pra explicar que a Laia é uma Azure?" hauahua

Eu queria que a Laia tivesse ido pra Turquia beeem antes! Tipo, não tinha necessidade de duas temporadas se passarem nos EUA 😭 A essa altura do campeonato, o foco deveria ser mais em mover a história e não adicionar mais lore 🧐 Tipo, a Lale e o Aslan nem morreram no passado ainda TAT Bora mover essa história minha genteee hauahuahah

Sobre o Mehmed, também fiquei surpresa com a aparição dele 👁👄👁 Eu não tava esperando ahuajauajaua eu não sei o que vai rolar entre ele e minha MC no próximo EP porque o relacionamento dela com o Mehmed era ruim no passado. Vai dar ruim kkkk

Simmm, vi alguns comentários falando sobre burnout e de todos eu acho que é o mais possível de estar acontecendo.

Nossa, eu daria tudo por uma temporada só no passado ou na Turquia, a trama fica mais interessante quando passam pra lá XD E sim, verdade, ninguém morreu ainda (tinha esquecido disso). E ainda tem o grande vilão que não foi revelado.

Boa sorte! 🙌🏾 Eu escolhi fazer as pazes porque quanto menos a Lale sofrer melhor, mas é ele lá e ela cá. A gente ainda não sabe se ele é a causa da morte dela também né (eu não lembro se disseram algo assim), pode ser que ele seja só um red herring também pra despistar como o outro lá que o Vlad matou (Ruthven).

I have to admit when Dracula A Love Story was first released I assumed the title was a blatant reference to the corny love triangle that was bound to happen between Lale, Vlad and Aslan and how it would continue even after their reincarnation.

Instead, the more I read and the more I've come to understand the characters, I have come to realize that the word "love" encompasses all forms of love shown within DALS. Romantic love, platonic love, familial love, obsessive love, and so on. It may be far fetched but it turns out, the love in Dracula A Love Story does not refer exclusively to the main characters but it points to the minor characters too.

So in a sense, one might interpret the story as an ode to the different forms of love that results not only in the happiness but the pain it brings along with it. I can't help but find the very notion lovely.
