Honestly still mad that they un-nerdified our boy. Made him interested in biographies or some serious shit, like Dimitri's whole appeal wasn't that he's just some super buff dork doing a permanent low key cosplay of his favourite westerns and cranking 80's love ballads while making heart eyes at his boss-bitch girlfriend.
Okay now that I’ve calmed down a little (not really), here’s what I’m thinking:
Season 1 is kinda like a prequel to the books because
- Lissa and Rose were completely awestruck by the human world
- Dimitri “has” to follow the rules, while Rose is all “fuck them all”
- Sonya can’t heal Victor anymore (🥲) but he’ll have to be healed again if he wants to make it through the trials, therefore forcing him to try and use Lissa
- Victor will probably try to kidnap Lissa, but Rose will come save the day and decide to run away to protect her from him
- without Lissa, Victor will be too weak to win the trials, therefore putting Queen Tatiana in place
And BOOM. Season 2 will start like the beginning of book 1—Tatiana as Queen, Victor as the villain, Sonya as a Strigoi, Dimitri bringing Rose and Lissa back to St. Vladimir, Rose having to catch up in classes, Dimitri trying to hold back his feelings, etc.
“Then, just as I thought I’d lose my hold, I got a good grip on the stake. And like that, the stake came down over his heart. It was done.
Behind me, people were clapping, but all I noticed was Dimitri. Our gazes were locked. I was still straddling him, my hands pressed against his chest. Both of us were sweaty and breathing heavily. His eyes looked at me with pride— and a hell of a lot more. He was so close, and my whole body yearned for him, again thinking he was a piece of me I needed in order to be complete. The air between us seemed warm and heady, and I would have given anything in that moment to lie down with him and have his arms wrap around me. His expression showed me that he was thinking the same thing. The fight was finished, but remnant of the adrenaline and animal intensity remained.”
why am i obsessed w the power dynamic shift when rose had to protect dimitri when the strigoi bit him
watching him high off his ass behind rose while she took on three strigoi at once to protect him?? hot asf romitri moment on its own BUT THEN followed but by janine coming in to save the day my voice is hoarse from screaming
I always think about how at the beginning of the show, Mia had broken her foot in real life, and it just made me think of Meredith carrying Mia around. I just love these two so much!!
