Day 20 - Dearest❤️‍🔥💐

Holly Black reveals snippet of sequel to The Stolen Heir:

“Oak!” Hyacinthe shouts. The prince lets his arm with the dagger in it sag. Somehow being yelled at by Hyacinthe brings him back to himself. Maybe it is just the familiarity of his scorn.

When he isn't hit again, he lets himself lie there, breathing hard.

“She wants you to sit down to supper with her,” Hyacinthe says. “I'm supposed to get you cleaned up.”

“Wren?” Oak's sense of time is still very unclear. “I thought she was going to have me punished.”

Hyacinthe raises both his eyebrows. “Yes, Wren. Who else?”

The prince looks at the guards, who are glaring at him resentfully. If he'd been thinking more clearly, he would have realized he had no cause to try to murder them. They weren't necessarily working for Valen nor Bogdana, weren't necessarily leading him to his doom. He probably would have figured that out sooner, had his head not hurt so much. Had Bogdana not come and threatened him.

“No one mentioned supper,” Oak complains. One of the guards, the one with the club, snorts. The other two wear scowls that remain unaltered. Hyacinthe turns to all of them.

“Find something else to do. I will escort the prince.” The guards depart, one spitting on the stone floor as he leaves.

“I warn you,” Oak says. “If you are also planning on hitting me, it will have to be quite a blow to have any effect on the swelling and bruises already coming in.”

“Is there no situation where you might bow to wisdom and keep your tongue between your teeth?” Hyacinthe asks, reaching out a hand to pull Oak to his feet. For a moment, the prince is certain he's going to open his mouth and say something Hyacinthe will not think is at all funny. Something that probably won't be all that funny.

“I haven't found one yet, but we can both live in hope,” Oak manages as he lets himself be levered up.

✨🧛🏻Happy Dracula Day!!!🧛🏻✨

Bram Stoker's novel enjoyed considerable success at the time of its publication, but the vehicle that really propelled Dracula to worldwide fame was the staggering number of cinematic adaptations.

Dracula is still used as a model for the development of countless characters from the most varied segments. From horror, romance, and even action, Dracula is a versatile figure.

With its pale skin, sharp fangs and pointed ears or a handsome face free of stereotypical features, the bloodsucking monster has persisted as the embodiment of the vampire archetype for over a century.

I wish I could round up all the faces that played him, but that's a big list. So here are some more names that brought Dracula to life:

• Frank Langella (Dracula, 1979).

• Leslie Nielsen (Dracula, 1995).

• Rudolf Martin (Buffy, 2000).

• Gerard Butler (Dracula, 2000).

• George Hamilton (Dracula, 1979).

• Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, 2012).

• Nicholas Cage (Renfield, 2023).

As my research deepens, the greater the expansion of my new Roman Empire: Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Shi-oh.

JTBCDrama literally confirmed via IG account that Ryu Shi-oh FELL IN LOVE with Tsetseg.

Much is said that he only wanted her by force, but Tsetseg was not Gang Nam-soon. He also didn't know about the power of women. So why would Shi-oh look at Tsetseg with anything other than coveting his power other than with affection? Why wouldn't he fall in love?

Tsetseg and Gang Nam-soon were not the same person. Tsetseg challenged him, she was bold and seemed not to feel uncomfortable around him. She listened to him and showed compassion for his sad life story.

And, I still make room to comment on Ryu Shi-oh's stance. When he was around anyone else, he always walked around with his hands in his pockets (which can be considered a disrespectful gesture in Korea). Even when he hit the Delivery Man, he had his hand in his pocket.

Beside Tsetseg, he always had his hands exposed. He treated her as an equal and even as a superior (he sleeps in her presence, proving that he had trust in her to guard him in such a vulnerable state).

I'm not trying to justify the character's actions, but it's unfair to treat everything as black/white. Ryu Shi-oh was a character that had several layers. He was a Psychopath (although I don't agree with the definition in JTBCDrama itself) and could fall in love with Tsetseg.
