Vampire Academy Love

KissKissKiss

The most underrated series ever.. I blame Twilight for making me overlook this. That book turned me from vampires for a while.

Now, about VA, I’m fresh out of Last Sacrifice and the past two weeks had been the series marathon. So, here goes…

The movie doesn’t do it any justice.

The books deal with teenagers, their problems.

Friendship

Teen romance

That crush on your teacher

His response (feels pedophilic in the movies, but the book deals with it better)

More Friendships

The lengths one will go for a friend

Learning responsibility, taking action, learning to get help from those around you when you are in trouble.

Mental health problems, self harm, anger management, etc

And a lot of friendship

Mommy issues

Daddy issues (hilariously dealt with)

Romantic plot doesn’t consist of vague crush and descriptions of gazing into his/her eyes - here, it’s an equal relationship.

They have a balanced relationship where they complement each other, support each other, be each others’ strength. Its something even adult romance stories don’t get. This perfect balance basically negates the age gap and almost pedophilic nature of the romance.

Amazingly written teenagers who have their priorities straight and not just consisting of homework, dances and parties..😂😂😂

So many authors fail to write sensible teenagers.

Basically I loved this series..

Thank you @fierarain @ruminationsofaraven and all others who have been patient with me while I read these books and ranted about it here.. You all are amazing.

Dimitri: Language, Rose.

Rose: Whom the fuck-

Unknown (via sunsetquotes)

Lissa and I had been friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us up together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we’d—or rather, I’d—responded appropriately. I’d chucked my book at out teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn’t known what those words meant, but I’d known how to hit a moving target.

you all owe me ur life.

The New Normal

(Submission for VA Mother’s Day Compilation)

“So, Rose, I wanted to talk to you.”

The bread suddenly seemed too dry in her mouth.

“It’s been almost five years, dear.”

The room became quiet except for the sizzle of the chicken in the pan. She wasn’t sure if either of them were breathing. Rose couldn’t even think, much less breath at this point.

“Just over four and a half,” she corrected.

“That’s what I mean. Don’t you think it’s time to…”

“What?” she interrupted a bit too sharply. “To forget him?”

“No. No, of course not. None of us will, but,” She sighed and placed her hands on either side of the sink, not looking at Rose. “I want you to be happy and you still seem to be mourning him. He’s gone, dear. He’s not coming back. You don’t have to be gone alongside him.”

Rose bit her lip to keep it from trembling. She had this type of conversation once before with Olena – nearly a year ago and it hadn’t ended well. Olena didn’t shout but Rose did, and Rose had let loose until she had left the house in a storm of anger and didn’t come back for a day and a half. Olena hadn’t brought it up again.

Until now, apparently.
