You're so amazing actually. And it goes beyond whatever reverence I've had for you in the past, the obsession and the guilt and the fear that almost felt justified -- and it did, once, feel justified. With everything you'd done, everything that hurt me in the end, and some memories from my own lifetime, there's so much that's happened that I had some idle resentment for you.
But it's different, i think. Now, at least. There's that empathy and emotion that I hadn't ever caught a glimpse of back then -- only what you'd show me with ulterior motives I saw right through -- and cherish so deeply now. I can feel with every action you make and everything you do just how regretful and just plain sorry you are for everything you've done. It's touching in a way I can't explain.
Yes, you killed me. It hurt a lot. Stairs hurt a lot. Also every other death of mine in Mina's name or in your name, what have you. You've killed lots of people.
But we've lived so many lives (at least 2) since then, Dracula. Ones where you've shown me kindness, sympathy. Ones where you care so deeply and feel so profoundly that it almost physically hurts me to see how much you care for those you love. You show it through your words in the subtle ways; messaging when you can, sending things that remind you of them, little gifts and messages and ideas and concepts that scream with love. You've become such a kind person in a way that only comes from having done something terribly wrong in the past.
I think the good outweighs the bad here.
Of course, this won't change the guilt. It'll always be present to some degree. But don't give yourself a hard time for the things you did over 200 years ago, okay? We stay silly forever.
Yours eternally (and then some) (i am never leaving),
Your Buddy Renfield <3
This is so, so sweet. I don't even know what to say.
Like I'm stunned.
I feel weird even posting this publicly, it's so personal. This is everything to me.
The guilt is neverending but ive always felt so, so much better whenever i talk to you. We're so close now and it forever brings me so much joy.
Everything you felt towards me in the past was completely justified, I truly believe that. (Negatively, i mean)
And what i felt towards you, in the past, i believed was justified. But it goes without mentioning that I don't believe that anymore.
Remind me to bring this up privately when you wake up. I have a lot to say that I think is just too much for a public Tumblr post. Love you forever.
