Okay remember when Alex said-
“I saw this young, queer guy who looked like me, sleeping at his desk because he wants kids at public schools in his state to have free lunches, and I was like, I could do this. I honestly don’t know if I’m good enough or smart enough to ever be either of my parents. But I could be that.”
“And now I’m sitting here thinking, that son of a bitch sold out, so maybe it’s all bullshit, and maybe I really am just a naive kid who believes in magical shit that doesn’t happen in real life.”
AND HOW THIS JUST PROVES HOW GOOD HE ACTUALLY IS-
“My name is Celaena Sardothien,” she whispered. “But it makes no difference if my name’s Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I’d still beat you, no matter what you call me.”
Aelin being the sass queen she is fills my heart with joy
You can't beat Jurdan when it comes to the enemies to lovers trope, that's UNMATCHED ROMANCE RIGHT THERE. You can SEE the characters struggling with their feelings and IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING ALL AT ONCE.
"my great villain, my darling god!?!?!?" "you're my dearest punishment!?!?!???" "if you're the sickness, I suppose you can't also be the cure?!!!!!" "I hate you so much that sometimes I can't think of anything else</3" "I want to tell you so many lies!!?" AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON "kiss me until I'm sick of it"----- Adyfgopkvdtdvjudy
Thinking about how Will Herondale scorned A Tale of Two Cities, but started loving it because of Tessa. HE ENVIED SYDNEY CARTON???? BECAUSE HE COULD TELL LUCIE OF HIS LOVE FOR HER??? EVEN IF THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO TO PROVE HIS LOVE WAS TO DIE???
and how Will would have died for a chance to tell Tessa that he loved her. HE THOUGHT SYDNEY WAS FREE, AND HE WISHED FOR THAT SORT OF FREEDOM.
no but remember when Marco Alisdair asked Celia Bowen if she remembers all her audiences and she said she only remembers the ones who look at her the way he does and then he asked her what way might that be AND THEN CELIA SAID THE ICONIC "LIKE THEY CAN'T DECIDE IF THEY ARE AFRAID OF ME OR IT THEY WANT TO KISS ME" AND MARCO HAD THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY TO ANSWER WITH "I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU"-
At first I was like ✨Freddy carter✨ AS A JOKE.........but broo......I don't think it's a joke anymore........
Never have I ever wanted to be a goat more.
“Most of us can hide our greatest hurts and longings. It’s how we survive each day. We pretend the pain isn’t there, that we are made of scars instead of wounds."
“Most women suffer thorns for the sake of the flowers. But we who would wield power adorn ourselves in flowers to hide the sting of our thorns.”
~Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars
“Did your wish come true?” // “I am not entirely certain yet.” // “You shall have to let me know,” Celia says. “I hope it does. I suppose in a way, I made the Wishing Tree for you.”
“I made a wish on this tree years ago,” Marco says // “What did you wish for?” Bailey asks, hoping it is not too forward a question // “I wished for her,” he says.
WILL I EVER RECOVER FROM THIS *SCREAMS*
