Me Every Time I Get The Chance To Bore Someone To Death Abt The Circle And Maryse (plus All The Circle

When will I get a Xaden Riorson/Azriel Shadowsinger? — I ask uselessly to nobody as I get no answer from nobody because I'm an atheist and apparently that's an excuse for my unsocial and alone like the last Pringles ass to sin, according to my grandma.

shut the hell up this is one of the funniest things Magnus has ever said 😭

Hunnybuns, cupcake, sugarpie, strudlemuffin.... STOP BEING PROUD OF YOUR IGNORANCE, YOU'RE EMBARASSING YOURSELF.

OMG. Somebody start that RIGHT NOW.

If I had one wish I would wish for the circle era to have the sort of fandom that the marauders era does

“She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else’s life.”

―Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo

The amount of hate Lucien Vanserra gets for being interested in getting to know the person his fucking omnipotent god decided was his perfect match is fucking wild to me.

Like yall want this man to be evil so bad and he's literally just trying to figure out who he is now that everything he thought he was is crumbling under his feet. He's literally coming through again and again for Feyre and her friends despite going through a goddamned identity crisis that's lasted like four books at this point. Yall want this man to be evil and he's only ever been described by literally everyone as "loyal" and "a good male" and "not evil". Yall want this man to be evil and he was willing to die/be tortured to protect Feyre ALONE at least three times.

But because this man was given a mate-something he's been raised his whole life to revere and dream about and want-and he is interested in *checks notes* getting to know her, he's now evil. He's now going to go against five books of character development and become a betrayer and/or unreasonably violent?

Like if you don't ship them that's absolutely fine. I think the concept of them not having romantic feelings and navigating the bond on a purely platonic sense is interesting (though I don't think it's gonna happen given Sarah J Maas' track record) and is something that could make for an interesting story but like......I'm sorry but bending backwards to try and paint Lucien as EVIL????

Have we read the same books?

I hope the ghost of Emily Brontë haunts Emerald Fennell for the rest of her life.

My attachment issues are so bad I save every single paper note I get from people I care about because my mind says “one day when they die you’ll remember you threw it away and so you never really cared about them”

Can we take a brief moment to talk about how PERFECT Maryse and Robert would have been in another universe?

They're such a common trope, people, and such a good one, but gone wrong.

Like, be fr, hot, gorgeous, smart, short-tempered, stubborn, I will kill u if u piss me off, traumatized gf, and I'm just a fictional adult, might be gay (bi), why's m bff so hot, quiet, traumatized as hell, let me stay in the shadows, twink bf?????

Also, can we talk about what a perfect mix Alec and Izzy came out to be? Like, black hair, blue eyes, got them looks from Maryse. Alec is like super introverted, which in my delulu head canon is a trait he got from Robert, together with the awkwardness and quietness (plus the poker face), which reminds Maryse of the young Robert she fell in love with (pulled that out of nowhere, don't question it).

And I just know Izzy's just a copy of young Maryse and you CANNOT convince me otherwise.

Anyways

Let's have a minute of silence for the potential that went down the drain with these two (or waywood and eliza/maryse)

When the boys in my class insist that communism wasn't that bad, so I have to hold back the urge to pull out my country's news so they can watch it relapse back into communism barely 35 years after defeating it. How people's rights are stripped away, how the government tries to silence them. How the beginning of the revolution looks like, how the anger of a nation looks. So they can see the horrors of watching the police side with who puts money in their pockets, and how the good are painted as bad and the bad as good. But that would be too political for class, and I'd get kicked out, so I just have to sit and hold back the words stuck in my throat and look at them with disgust being fully aware that their east european ass would rather close it's eyes at the pain of another country.
