So I have reached to the part of the novel (October 29) where Mina is suddenly feeling free and asking to be involved again and Van Helsing is sneakily putting her to the test to see if she's being puppeteered and if she still has a pulse:

"Oh, my dear, I see that your eyes are opened, and that to you the lightning flash show all the leagues,” for Mrs. Harker began to clap her hands and her eyes sparkled. He went on:—“Now you shall speak. Tell us two dry men of science what you see with those so bright eyes.” He took her hand and held it whilst she spoke. His finger and thumb closed on her pulse, as I thought instinctively and unconsciously, as she spoke:— [Mina enthusiastically monologuing about Dracula's battle tactics] “Good, good! oh, you so clever lady!” said Van Helsing, enthusiastically, as he stooped and kissed her hand. A moment later he said to me, as calmly as though we had been having a sick-room consultation:— “Seventy-two only; and in all this excitement.”

So that hit me... Mina's heartbeat has been slowing down, now to the point where her heartbeat in excitement is only 72bpm. Which means that her resting heart rate has by now gotten unnaturally slow, in the process of slowing down to a stop. And now I can't help but think of the Harkers those days, lying in bed, Jonathan's head on her chest. Listening to her once young strong heart struggling to beat... wondering if he'll wake up with it silent. And her still stroking his head...

I love and fear the picture you're painting, friend.

#supposing Jonathan did wake to that final line #a silent heart and the moving hand #I doubt he would say a thing #even if he noticed a drop of blood on his shirt collar #they lay together #that is enough #mina harker #jonathan harker #abraham van helsing #dracula

You deserve a partner who understands you without you speak, crazy in love with you, agrees with you without thinking, and most importantly brings you closer to God.

my thoughts on Bridgerton (season 1 - 4)

I binged it in the summer of 2024 because I saw a compilation of Francesca Bridgerton being autistic

I did need to slog through the other parts until I could reach /her/

I thoroughly enjoyed her being autistic and her relationship with John in season 3

I binged season 4 Parts 1 and 2 as they were released

I also thought her relationship with John was delightful in season 4

The conflicts arising from her trying to follow the rules of being a woman, wife and hostess were ranging from humorous to heartbreaking

I am sorry that her marriage with John was cut short

The portrayal of her grieving process did make me bawl

I hope to see more of Francesca in the future + how her dynamic/relationship with Michaela develops (book canon)

I'm also particularly invested in Eloise Bridgerton and Cressida Cowper (relationship not book canon :/)

Is it slop?

I wouldn't say so, no

It's not accurate to the time period etc. and arguably kitschy romance

But I didn't feel like it suffered from the Netflix mandated fuckass lighting and continuous expositions

My dear trans siblings, I know it's hard for a lot of us to take gender affirming compliments. I get it. We've spent so long hating the flesh we were born with that even our dearest friend's compliments seem like pity. But that's just your inner hate, the thing that you used to keep yourself physically safe before you knew who you are shouting at you that the people who love you are lying.

They're not. They mean what they say. The love and acceptance they offer you are really real. Took me almost two angst-ridden years to accept it. Don't be like me. Don't let the hate you internalised from the horrible big bad world rob you of feeling pretty when someone says it. Don't let anyone tell you the masculinity you've fought for isn't real.

There isn't alot of hope for us right now, don't let the bigot in your head steal your joy.

I love you my brave rebellious siblings.

You are beautiful and brave and so very much stronger than you know.

Take the compliments. You deserve them.

Stay strong. Keep fighting. I am so proud of you my blathering ass literally cannot find the words.

I love you. Stay brave and loving.

Good night.
