Red, White and Royal Blue out of context:

“Alex, please don’t tell me Pez has indoctrinated you with k-pop.”

“i don’t know WHO you think you’re kidding, you hufflepuff-ass bitch”

“Leading member of korean pop band bts kim nam-june”

“Yes, famously the most sinister of all animal sounds, the gobble.”

“Cornbread knows my sins, Henry”

“FEDERAL FUNDING, TRAVEL EXPENSES, BOOTY CALLS, AND YOU.”

“Oh my god I thought you were getting into international relations or something”

“Alex wonders of it’s too late to swan dive off the roof”

“EXPLORING YOUR SEXUALITY: HEALTHY, BUT DOES IT HAVE TO BE WITH THE PRINCE OF ENGLAND?”

“I know Texas public schools don’t have sex ed for shit, and we didn’t go over this when we had the talk—which is on me for assuming—so I just wanted to make sure you know you still need to be using condoms even if you’re having anal interc—“

“The phrase “see attached bibliography” is the single sexiest thing you have ever written to me.”

“Also, fun fact: LBJ was obsessed with his own dick”

They find their way onto the lush purples and reds of the Persian rugs on the floor, Henry’s head in Alex’s lap and Bea on a pouf, plucking away at a weird little instrument she tells Alex is called an autoharp. Bea pulls over a tiny table and sets out crackers and a little chunk of soft cheese and takes away the brandy bottle.

Commission done for Elodie!

I love Henry and Pez’s friendship

Like,yes

Give me the “wearing every colour possible in just one outfit” Pez with “you will not catch me dead in anything other than earth tones” Henry

Give me the “I’m here for a good time not a long time” Pez with “are you sure we will not die doing this?” Henry

Give me the “I have no idea what you’re talking about but continue” Pez with “I will rant about this specific topic for hours” Henry

Give me the dramatic asf Pez with the also dramatic asf Henry

Give me more of them,I need more content of them

[darth-hollander]

Can you imagine? Firstprince finally gets married, and a drunken Alex accidentally pulls Henry with him into their wedding cake. And they've come full circle.

my problem with the fantasy and romance genres these days is that books feel like a sequence of tropes in lieu of a story

books are being sold and promoted on the basis of them containing "only one bed, enemies to lovers, blade to the neck, hurt/comfort, touch her and I'll kill you" and similar beloved tropes

while it's impossible to write without any tropes, popular tropes are now the main aspect by which books get promoted on media platforms and even in retailers instead of narrative fiction

[atelilara]

Yes!!!!! Even though I love these tropes while I'm reading, everytime I see someone recommending them based on it like "enemies to lovers, dark haired sarcastic boy" I just roll my eyes so hard and it kills a bit of my desire to read the book

[thebellekeys]

Same here, and it's like, retailers and publishers are pitching the book for its tropes

Ironically, originally and subversion are not what's selling but its what readers claim they want

[laxibbeb]

99% of modern fantasy ya/na features a dark haired, sarcastic, male love interest btw

[prongsletmoony]

I'd just like to bring to everyone's attention that Alex Claremont-Diaz is BIRACIAL, BISEXUAL, and BILINGUAL

[allofthestairs]

you could even say that he's...

BI! BI! BI! (Bi bi!)

[lycanthrology]

tragedy enjoyers when their favourite characters are brutally killed in a completely avoidable scenario of their own creation

[kotwkawie]

real talk.

I hope we get more charles in ChoT. maybe even a pov. because I hate how the fandom sees him as this one-dimensional "villain", who doesn't care about anyone. he clearly cared about alastair, in his own f*cked up way, but he also wanted a career. and unfortunately, he's right, shadowhunter politics are f*ucked and he'd never become consul if they knew he was gay...

I'd love to read more about him, cause he does truly feel like a tragic character, who chose his career over love.

and now that we know ChoT will be a "very long book", I hope we get to see more of his side of things. how did his sister's death affect him? how does he feel after almost starting a war with the parisian vampires? will he be able to let alastair go or will he fight to get him back? yk.

and. don't come for me. but I think he could be the Gabriel of this series.

i hear a good lyric and start mentally holding up blorbos like im in the home depot paint aisle comparing swatches

[allofthestairs]

"I don't know what I'll wear next year, when I'm done with Watford [...] I'm not asking anybody what I should wear when I leave. I'm 18. I'll dress myself.

Or Penny will help."

-Carry On, pg. 15-16

"He moves my hands away and finishes buttoning the shirt. It's his shirt, an olive-green cotton one with complicated stripes and short sleeves. (I've never even seen Baz wear short sleeves.)

'Are you going to dress me every morning?' I ask

'If you allow it, absolutely.'

I'll probably allow it, what do I care."

-Any Way the Wind Blows, pg. 549-550

(now that's what I call character development)
