Relationships occasionally require compromise.
He got me to wear a dress for the wedding. I got my favorite motorcycles to be part of the ceremony. 😍
(This is one of the few photos where my broken toe is not visible. Good thing is that the colors of it fit our theme of black & purple! 😄)

On one hand I wish Mina had, after reading his journal (or when she met them), expressed being upset about the brides for preying and terrorizing Jonathan -like she had done about Dracula for tormenting him- but on the other hand, I fear people would have been calling her jealous of them if she did.
It's almost definitely the road the people--or worse, directors--would have taken if she had gotten upset about the Brides specifically.
But while that distress could very well have been lumped into the general horror and pain she felt for Jonathan in the aftermath of reading the journal as Just One More Misery for the pile, yeah, I'd have liked the Bride attack to have been given the same gravity as Dracula's general torment. But the pretense of 'lady predator going after helpless damsel man' even when played completely deadly grossly serious, is so often skewed in an audience's mind to be 'ooh that's hot,' that highlighting it only gives it even more fodder.
Just look at what people have mangled it into to make it look like Jonathan was genuinely into the trio's advances, either turning him into an outright cheater or ~willing victim~ to satisfy some adaptation's kink or plaster over his canon version's legit paralysis and fear under the artificial complacency.
We see the same trouble with the Bloofer Lady, honestly. She's a voluptuous monster babe who has to be seen drinking kids and making ugly bat faces to be seen as anything other than desirable.
Mina's fear on Jonathan's behalf and the Suitors' horror at the vampiric change are present in the book, but it's noticeably thin compared to the punch of Dracula's threat. (Which makes sense for the narrative, but still. No gravitas to the ladies. Sigh.)

cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
Set me free, oh, I pray
Closer to heaven above and closer to you
Closer to you
I miss them. I need to write a drabble for them. Any snap ideas?
