it's how she urged him to choose duty, because that's what he always did, and that's what he did with her. And you can clearly see that he shakes his head as if to say "No this time I choose you Rose, not the duty". He think he deserves this and that Rose needs this.
It was the most beautiful and most significant scene of the episode.
In this moment Dimitri chose Rose, he put her first.🥀❤️
I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve seen a lot of discussion online that the vampire academy series was cancelled because it lost fans by being different from the books but tbh I blame peacocktv.
How do you release a series that has fans across the globe but you only offer to the US. I believe that it might’ve been accessible for a short period in the uk through a different service but this is just insane to me that they really thought it was a smart choice?.
Anyways I’ve been reading the books and I had seen the movie when it came out. I enjoy the show for going a different route it makes it less predictable and you don’t have to sit there and go “omg this happened in the books” every five minutes.
Sad to see it was cancelled but I’m not surprised since I had to watch it through a website that has p*rn pop ups 🤣.
If any one has anything they’d add or discuss feel absolutely free to do so.
Vampire Academy Book 4: Blood Promise by Richelle Mead
Listen, I'm a Dragoway truther, and I support Rose, Lissa & Christian as a Polycule. But Ship literally whatever you wanna ship in this series, its silly and fun, and anyway my OTP of all time is Sydrian - speaking of, shout out to my first ever attempt at a Sydney -- hilarious to me now because I changed her whole design pretty much completely.
Anyway, here's a book 4 group shot before I put those in an actual setting with real visuals.
Excerpt from the end of Blood Promise, Chapter 30
Adrian had said seeing me in dreams couldn't compare to seeing me in person. The same was true with Lissa. Being in her head was nothing like being near her in reality. The door opened, and it was like an apparition materializing before me, some sort of heavenly messenger descended from above. I'd never been away from her for this long, and after all this time, part of me wondered if I was imagining this.
Her hand went to her mouth, and she stared at me wide-eyed. I think she felt the same way -- and she hadn't even had warning of my visit. She'd just been told I was coming "soon." No doubt I seemed like a phantom to her too.
And with that reunion... it was like I was emerging from a cave - one I'd been in for almost five weeks - into the bright light of day. When Dimitri had turned, I'd felt like I'd lost part of my soul. When I'd left Lissa, another piece had gone. Now, seeing her... I began to think maybe my soul might be able to heal. Maybe I could go on after all. I didn't feel 100 percent whole yet, but her presence filled up that missing part of me. I felt more like myself than I had in ages.
A world of questions and confusion hung in the silence between us. In spite of everything we'd been through with Avery, there was still a lot of unresolved business from when I had first left the school. For the first time since I'd set foot on the Academy's grounds, I felt afraid. Afraid that Lissa would reject me or scream at me for what I'd done.
Instead, she drew me into a giant hug. "I knew it," she said. She was already choking on her sobs. "I knew you'd come back."
"Of course," I murmured into her shoulder. "I said I would."
I mean, come on, there's murmuring for god's sake. How are they not cannon??????
This episode actually wasn't as bad as I thought (shock wise) it was going to be
I knew Tatiana was working with the strigoi and I hope the group figures that out
What was the point of THAT scene last episode if it meant nothing? Why bother even showing it if it has no significance?
Meredith, my Queen speaking the truth to Mason "The way you feel about Rose, that is the way she feels about Dimitri. She can't help that any more than you can."
Everyone knows how Rose and Dimitri feel about each other and I'm living for it. A list shall we: Meredith, Mason, Tatiana, Alberta, Lissa
Dimitri knows Rose would always choose him, they would always choose and protect each other
"Hard to brag to the woman who gave me a black eye." Sorry about that." Dimitri doesn't hold that fight against her one bit, and I love that
Dimitri quoting Rose about having a "staring contest with the air." His smile. 😩😭 Their smiles. The eye contact. The yearning. stares. Staring at each other's lips. Dimitri putting his hand to his lips after holding it over his heart for Rose🥺😊They want to be together so bad; it hurts 😩
I see that as him accepting that he truly loves Rose
"Comrade" and "Roza" in the same conversation 🥺
Also, the way Dimitri spoke about him being the least of concerns with everything else going on, Rose really has changed him
Obviously, Rose is coming back, she's probably going to feel that Lissa is in danger (and some bts photos I've seen)
Now I don't like Mason as much as I thought, he needs to accept the fact that Rose doesn't love him
But also, anyone have any idea where this is coming from? As the tweets mentioned, this seems like a concerted effort by a smaller group or someone using bots and it just seems so unfair and stupid to work against the renewal of the show in this way? Would love to hear anyone's thoughts!
