"What did you do? What did you do??"

"Ryou, this is a good thing—"

"What did you do to me???"

I also have a tendership vampire romcom au with tragic ryou backstory (he almost killed his dad accidentally when his dad got him turned into a vampire... which is a long story) but like. as much as ryou kinda angsts about being a monster in the au it IS a romcom. and I find that hilarious

but yeah this scene is moments before disaster TM (ryou bites papa too much)

something about "you're as mindless and obedient as an attack dog" something about "daddy's blunt little instrument" something about "the perfect soldier" something about "why do i have to be some kind of hero?" something about "your daddy brainwashed you with all this devil crap and probably touched you in a bad place" something about "all things considered" something about "your own father didn't care if you lived or died, why should you?" something about "you're not a child I never was" something about-

There is something to say about god, and Dracula. It's real, and it's watching, it's real but doesn't speak to you. It's real, and it leaves a unholy creature like Dracula run free in a land filled with religious will. It's real, and it punishes you for sinning even when those sins were not yours, because suffering is the way to win it's forgiveness.

Mina rempents, she rempents and suffers. She offers her suffering to god, and pleads for forgiveness to it. She weeps as she asks what she did wrong because the proof of suffering is rewarded with forgiveness. Jonathan denounced it for not fulliling it's holy promise of protection.

"They are racing for the sunset. We may be too late. God's will be done!"

Van Helsing calls this hunt God's will because he is a man of faith... Maybe this is why he wanted to go with Mina. A catholic dutch man who makes putty with the Holy eucharist host, but not once has doubted in the will of the holy light guiding him.

God's will may guide them, but it seems that the novel tells us that only thrusting god's will, and to only offer our bleeding heart is leading a lamb to the slaughter. God's will is suffering, and suffering Mina did, god deemed that his son would die to forgive our sins, and died he did. However... Mina is not a saint, Mina is human, completely human.

If Mina had accepted god's will she would have died, if Mina had been alone she would have collapsed on her own grief. If it wasn't for Jonathan, and everyone else she would have commited suicide as she asked god to forgive her sinning hand.

It was god's will that Mina was unjustly marked for the sin of being attacked, it was god's will to Let Jonathan wander the halls of castle Dracula while wondering what was real. God did not interfere with the deaths of Lucy, and Renfield. In Dracula, god exist and it acknowledges you, but it doesn't save you.

God may be the one to have the final word over Mina's fate, but Mina herself, and Jonathan, Van Helsing, Quincey, Arthur and Jack turned that fate around. They turned around the indifference, and fought until Mina was free again.

"Now God be thanked that all has not been in vain! See! the snow is not more stainless than her forehead! The curse has passed away"

The only being with the absolute power to override Dracula's poison dooming Mina to an immortal life of suffering. However, make no mistake, she and all of the others fought for the miracle of today.

It was not the will of god that saved Mina from a horrible end, or a confused unliving, it was pure human resilience. Quincey thanks god for letting Mina's mark dissapear when he was the one who plunged the knife to free her. Jonathan rests Quincey's head on his shoulder, and Mina holds his hand as he walks towards the sun to meet someone on the other side with dark golden ripples on her hair.

Guided by god to do what is right, but never helped by it.

Mina; all god fearing woman, walks now alive, human, and free because of her intellect, and the unshakable faith of the crew towards her salvation.

God may have condemned Mina to have a taste of hell, but now Mina knows that she doesn't need to imagine heaven because she can hold it, and touch him with her hands.
