Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
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.
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.🥀❤️
Y'all are so quick to talk about how Adrian 'made' Rose date him but I never see anyone talk about the fact Avery legit compulsed Adrian into dating her clearly against his will for at least an entire month 😭
The way I can't stop watching this scene. Their breaths shake as their faces get close, their foreheads resting on each other's. Rose and Dimitri are CLINGING to each other. Making their last kiss for a while worth it. It's stunning but heartbreaking at the same time.
Rose looked almost surprised of Dimitri's response about her in the communes. A big part of why she fell in love with him in the first place is because he genuinely cares about what happens to her and how he shows up for her like no one else had.
“You told me you want to fight, to really fight. Is that still true?”
“Yes. Absolutely.”
“Rose… I can teach you, but I have to believe you’re dedicated. Really dedicated. I can’t have you distracted by things like this.” He gestured around the lounge. “Can I trust you?”
Again, I felt like crying under that gaze, under that seriousness of what he asked. I didn’t get how he could have such a powerful effect on me. I’d never cared so much about what one person thought. “Yes. I promise.”
“All right. I’ll teach you, but I need you strong. I know you hate the running, but it really is necessary. You have no idea what strigoi are like. The school tired to prepare you, but until you’ve seen how strong they are and how fast… well, you can’t even imagine. So I can’t stop the running and the conditionings. If you want to learn more about fighting, we need to add more trainings. It’ll take up more of your time. You won’t have much left for your homework or anything else. You’ll be tired. A lot.”
I thought about it, about him, and about Lissa. “It doesn’t matter. If you tell me to do it, I’ll do it.”
He studies me hard, like he was still trying to decide if he could believe me. Finally satisfied, he gave me a sharp nod.
