Remember When Cardan Said "Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude Jude..." And Achieved Poetic Cinema?

The parallels between when Daphne Bridgerton said "Leander swam Abydos to Sestos every single night in complete darkness just to see his love." And then "Leander also lost his way and drowned. So the story goes."

And when Henry said "Dear Thisbe, I wish there weren't a wall. Love, Pyramus." And then “Alex, Thisbe and Pyramus both die at the end.”

I think about these a lot...

*bangs head against a wall dramatically*

Had she really thought the world didn’t change? She was a fool. The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent. The boy beside her. The future before her. Anything was possible.

Marvel managed to deprive Loki of his first true friend and first crush at the same time. hAhA pAiN.

(I'm not gonna specify who's who so you get to decide :))

No thoughts, just this. IT'S THE RAW FKING EMOTION FOR ME-

He’s definitely not thinking about Henry.

He’s not thinking about Henry when he puts in twenty-three hours in his first week of work, or when he’s filling the rest of his hours with class and papers and going for long runs and drinking triple-shot coffees and poking around the Senate offices. He’s not thinking about Henry in the shower or at night, alone and wide awake in his bed.

Except for when he is. Which is always.

thinking about how AARON. ALWAYS. FELL. IN. LOVE. WITH. HER. every single time.

My friend just said that kaz calling inej an investment has the same vibe as cardan yeeting jude into a river and I-

V.E Schwab writes such dynamic and complex characters that are so unforgettable. Like they have so much range and spice to them,, they're just *chef's kiss*

I often find myself thinking about the gay little family in Vicious and the nerdy little romantics in Addie Larue and the bisexual Slytherpuffs in Shades of Magic. I wish I could give Kell, Lila, Addie, Henry, Victor, Syd, Mitch, Eli and Rhy a little forehead kiss and protect them.

Why is the worst trope characters that live longer than their ships? JUDE AND CARDAN???? MAGNUS AND ALEC??? JESPER AND WYLAN?!?? ZOYA AND NIKOLAI?!???

these are fantasies????? JUST MAKE THEM IMMORTAL.
