y’all love the morally gray, snarky, grief stricken characters until it’s a woman. i’ve seen so much discourse regarding female characters who display the exact same character traits as male leads and are criticized for it while the men are praised. let women be cruel and vindictive. let them deal with their grief and trauma in destructive ways. let them be real. give them the same treatment you would give to your favorite male love interest.

thinking about how danika’s final act of love was selling her eternal soul to be bryce’s anchor for the drop and tell her that she loved her one last time.

sam cortland and danika fendyr haunting the narrative for throne of glass and crescent city will forever be my roman empire.

A few of my all time favorite book quotes:

“My loyalties haven’t changed. My family has just expanded.” — Jason Grace, Blood of Olympus

“In this life and the next, for however long our souls remain, mine will always find yours." — Roma Montagov, Our Violent Ends

“You cannot pick and choose which parts of her to love.” — Dorian Havilliard, Heir of Fire

“Be wary of men with something to prove.” — Evelyn Hugo, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“I wondered if my smile was as big as hers. Maybe as big. But not as beautiful.” —Aristotle Mendoza, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

“She made devastation look like riches, like jewels.” — Olivie Blake, The Atlas Six

“I’ve always expressed my thoughts in color, but we remain blind.” — Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada

“She didn’t know what to do with it, that rage. It still burned and hunted her, still made her want to rip and roar and rend the world into pieces. She felt it all—too keenly, too sharply. Hated and cared and loved and dreaded, more than other people, she sometimes thought.” — Nesta Archeron, A Court of Silver Flames

“She'd laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.” — Kaz Brekker, Six of Crows

“I want to do something splendid...something heroic or wonderful that won't be forgotten after I'm dead. I don't know what, but I'm on the watch for it and mean to astonish you all someday.” — Jo March, Little Women

“One word from you shall silence me forever.” — Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice

can we end the debate on whether annabeth chase is a ravenclaw or a slytherin. just because she’s intelligent doesn’t automatically make her a ravenclaw. she’s ambitious, she’s cunning, she’s a leader, HER FATAL FLAW IS LITERALLY PRIDE?? these are all slytherin qualities. i rest my case.

rachel and monica are so aelin and lysandra coded

my favorite “run like a girl” moments in books:

lysandra ennar running through the city to save her friends after magic was restored

celaena sardothien running so fast to the glass castle to get to nehemia that she beat chaol there who was on HORSEBACK

bryce quinlan running through lunathion with danika’s sword and her guns trying to defend the city and its people

nesta archeron running to save gwyn and emerie in the blood rite and carrying gwyn up the pass to protect her

hermoine granger running through the woods from the snatchers while casting spells to protect harry

annabeth chase running to the argo ii at fort sumter while fighting off the romans

[bluedietcoke]

rip robb stark, you would’ve loved fenrys moonbeam

[bluedietcoke]

i wish we had gotten to see more of dorian and lysandra’s friendship. we could have had a nesta/azriel friendship in the works. after that one scene in skull’s bay during empire of storms when she defended him against aedion should have been means for such a good duo. they are so incredibly similar, even in their powers, and mirror each other fairly well. lysandra saw his suffering and sympathized with him and never once judged him for his past. dorian was never afraid of her like most people were. he treated her as an equal and with the respect she had yearned for with men.

rowan 🤝 the suriel

being the gossip girls of their series

[bluedietcoke]

“you look happier” thanks, sarah j maas finally confirmed ACOTAR 6.

[bluedietcoke]

no because annabeth chase IS and always has been the most badass yet biggest softie in the entire series because wdym 12 year old her saw the three headed guard dog of HELL and immediately went to play fetch with him then proceeded to cry because she knew she couldn’t fulfill her promise to come back to him??

[bluedietcoke]

i’m tired of people taking annabeth’s RBF as a warning sign she’s gonna hit percy. my girl hasn’t been able to catch a break since the day she was born. if i were annabeth chase and was out saving the world at 12 years old with my “mortal enemy” who’s just a lucky, yapping, dumbass who eats blue food, i too, would have extreme RBF.

“I miss you, I’m sorry” by Gracie Abrams but it’s just Sam Cortland and Celaena Sardothien.

to this day, percy jackson still remains the blueprint for book boyfriends. he woke up in a random place and saw a hot blonde who told him he drools when he sleeps and he folded like a piece of paper. he went head on with kronos to defend her after she took a knife for him. turned down becoming a GOD because he took one look at her and said “nah i can’t leave my wife.” she was his whole LIFELINE when he was in the river styx and when hera wiped his memory. she was the sole thing that kept percy going and alive during his entire time in new rome. HE WENT TO LITERAL HELL AND BACK FOR HER AND CRAWLED, PHYSICALLY CRAWLED, TO GET TO HER. yeah. no one’s doing it like percy.
