There are these adaptations where Mina is like a reincarnation of Dracula's old wife or ex-lover or whatever.

It's happened way more than once.

Interesting.

Yeah, and I think it's just really interesting that readers and then moviegoers have latched onto this idea that there's something more in that relationship and that's something that they want to explore.

And then I think that leads us on the pathway to where we are now where we're like vampire, sexy, love intro.

There's tension there.

Yeah, I'm nervous that you're going to eat me alive, but other than that, yeah.

That's what it felt like.

No, wrong.

I would say it was actually the other way around and that the other one ran so fast that it started to stumble and then fall down.

And that's what we got in Bud Light.

Okay.

But also I haven't read either series for like over a decade.

Yeah.

potentially I'll read it with my new brain with my frontal lobe developed and I'll be like you were right I haven't read these with a frontal lobe either what's your book rec Talia

Okay, so this is actually also an older book, but it's called The Gilda Stories by Jewel Gomez.

It was released in the 90s and it's a vampire book and it kind of goes from like the 1850s all the way into like 2050 after like environmental collapse has like destroyed the world.

Oh my god.

And you follow this vampire woman who is like trying to figure out

why she's alive honestly like her purpose in life um and then also like it deals with kind of um a theme of exchange so like vampires take people's life force through their blood but then also they have to give something back in this um to the victims and they kind of like have this like mental link with them symbiotic relationship yeah and then like you can kind of apply that
