From Master, with Love… (1-12) – Commentary

From Master, with Love is me admitting where my romantic brain still lives:

In a gothic castle, in a storm, pledging forever to a monster.

This piece is me saying, out loud:

“If you want to understand how I love as a Master,
look at Dracula and Mina—but only through a very narrow lens.”

Why Dracula? Why this Dracula?

I didn’t pick Horror Icon Dracula.

I picked:

  • 1992 Coppola Dracula
  • drenched in romance,
  • obsessed with destiny,
  • and played by Gary Oldman with that trembling, reverent intensity.

I narrow the focus on purpose:

  • not the killing,
  • not the violation,
  • not the whole plot,

but the devotional tension between Dracula and Mina as:

“I have crossed oceans of time to find you.”

That’s the core I’m borrowing:

  • the scale of his devotion,
  • the weight of his words,
  • the “You are my one; I would move the universe to get back to you” energy.

I’m not saying:

“Be like Dracula.”

I’m saying:

“This is the emotional voltage I recognize in myself when I attach as a Master.”

What I’m mapping onto M/s

When I quote:

“Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.”

I’m translating that, in kink terms, as:

  • leaving a “normal” life,
  • choosing structure, rules, ownership,
  • stepping into a shared world that runs on different physics.

I frame M/s as:

  • rebirth into a chosen container,
  • not just “I call you mine now.”

And when Mina says:

“You are my love… and my life, always.”

I’m highlighting:

  • the totality slaves sometimes feel,
  • the way identity and devotion fuse in deep dynamics.

This is me pointing at a fictional mirror and going:

“This is how some of you love.
This is how I know how to be loved.”

It’s not instructional; it’s archetypal.

The romance vs. reality tension

I do quietly admit this is earned over time:

  • past-life connection,
  • pursuit,
  • resistance,
  • then surrender.

I underline that:

this exchange was earned… not something that just happens on day one.

That matters, because Dracula-as-written crosses a lot of consent lines.
My angle is:

  • take the intensity,
  • take the language of destiny,
  • leave the “I turned into fog and showed up uninvited” part.

If you read this alongside the rest of my work, it becomes:

“This is the mythic version of M/s devotion my brain imprinted on.
In real life, it has to be negotiated, chosen, and revisited—
but the emotional blueprint came from here.”

What this reveals about me as a Master

Hidden inside all the Dracula quotes, I’m quietly revealing:

  • I’m not “casual play” at my core.
  • My ideal dynamic is:
    • epic,
    • long-term,
    • identity-shaping.

I’m basically saying:

“If I ever take you on at that depth,
it’s oceans-of-time energy, not ‘see you when I see you.’”

The piece is short, but it plants a very specific flag:

  • M/s as romance, not just power.
  • Ownership as devotion, not just control.
  • “Bondage stronger than the oceans of time” as a love language.

Underneath all the experiments and dark jokes, this is one of the first places I’m openly admitting:

“My version of ‘Master’ is part predator, part poet, part eternal spouse.
If I ever say mine at that level, I mean for longer than this lifetime.”
