My friend just said that kaz calling inej an investment has the same vibe as cardan yeeting jude into a river and I-
Thish ish kinda cute-
"But I seem to be a victim of my own wishes where you are concerned."
Leigh Bardugo - Ruin and Rising
When Baghra said "Know that I loved you, Know that it wasn't enough." to her son before she died. That was true pain.
THIS ESPECIALLY HOW MARY DIED FOR SHERLOCK BECAUSE SHE KNEW JOHN NEEDED HIM AND JEM WAS OKAY WITH DYING BECAUSE HE KNEW WILL AND TESSA WOULD TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER I CANNOT-

Does your brain ever just go "Sorry. Er. I was just. Cornettos.”
This parallel between Red, white and royal blue & From Blood and Ash-
"You see, for me, memories are difficult. Very often, they hurt. A curious thing about grief is the way it takes your entire life, all those foundation years that made you who you are, and makes them so painful to look back upon because of the absence there, that suddenly they're inaccessible. You must invent an entirely new system."
And
"You just replace your last memory - a bad one - with a new one - a good one - and you keep doing that until the initial one no longer outweighs the replacement."
HELLO THE SCENE WHERE INEJ IS PERFORMING AND SOMEONE MAKES A RACIST COMMENT AND ZOYA GOES "SHE'S SULI" AND THEN AND THEN LATER WHEN INEJ AND ZOYA FIGHT THE VOLCRA TOGETHER>>>>>>

“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
"It’s weird because I always know things about people, gut feelings that usually lead me in more or less the right direction. I do think I got a gut feeling with you, I just didn’t have what I needed in my head to understand it. But I kind of kept chasing it anyway, like I was just going blindly in a certain direction and hoping for the best. I guess that makes you the North Star?"
If not this sort of vulnerable beautiful confession, what's the point🙄?
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*
