the ari and dante sequel is literally going to snap me in half and render me physically incapable of completing my college applications but nothing is more important then becoming that emotionally destroyed. my priorities can die.
i relate to this very deeply, yes.
when benjamin alire sáenz wrote “the problem with my life was that it was someone else’s idea”. that’s it.
“‘your problem, werner,” said fredrick, ‘is that you still believe you own your own life’”

“i’ll tell you what i think. i think it pisses people off when you kill yourself because it takes away thier chance to control your life, even a little bit.”

what is love, if not making history together
What is love, if not falling on a 75,000$ wedding cake together
What is love, if not calling him an obtuse fucking asshole
What is love, if not calling him a deranged American Neanderthal
What is love, if not saving his contact as a poop emoji
What is love, if not sending him pictures of turkeys at three in the morning
What is love, if not writing him emails with a p.s. of famous love letters
What is love, if not making out under a portrait of Hamilton (about whom you'll make some researches later to send said love letters)
What is love, if not arguing why Empire Strikes Back is clearly the superior of the trio
What is love, if not listening to him rant about Remus Lupin in the middle of the night
What is love, if not loving him on purpose
dante kisses ari's cheek whenever he greets him
i stand by this.
i look at alex claremont-diaz and my brain just IMMEDIATELY 100% AUTOMATICALLY GOES i just met this 5 foot 7 guy that’s just my type
what a beautiful day to remember that alex claremont-diaz is not white, "can't even pass for it" and that this gives us a BEAUTIFUL opportunity to celebrate his culture and his identity as a brown man! alex is half-Mexican and he LOVES being half-Mexican! it's a core part of his identity. more of alex making dinners with his dad, elotes and tres leches and tamales!! bonding with luna over being Mexican and queer!! visiting Mexico with his sister and learning more about his heritage!! speaking Spanish with his family, teaching henry Spanish!! we love this boy, and that means we love ALL of him!!
my first interaction with red, white, and royal blue was some fanart of ellen showing alex a powerpoint that said something along the lines of “it’s fine that you’re gay but you cannot date the prince of england” and like, i assumed that was a meme. i thought it was a joke. so there are no words for the emotions i felt when i read the book and found out that scene actually happens.
Aristotle about Dante.
i can’t see rain without thinking of ari and dante running around in the middle of the desert and i think that’s beautiful
they are holding hands :’)
LET’S DIVE INTO THE WATERS OF THE WORLD THEN
GOOD MORNING TO BENJAMIN ALIRE SÁENZ AND BENJAMIN ALIRE SÁENZ ONLY
I realised something as I was rereading Aristotle and Dante....
When I first read the book, I was fifteen. So I could relate to "I was fifteen. I was bored. I was miserable" and "Sometimes I thought that being fifteen was the worst tragedy of all."
Now I'm a month and a half away from turning seventeen as I reread it and I can relate to Ari saying : being on the verge of seventeen could be harsh and painful and confusing. Being on the verge of seventeen could really suck.
How beautiful is that?
i come back to this post daily because it’s been two months since i read aristotle and dante and i am currently 30 days away from turning 16. couldn’t have found this in a better moment to make me SOB
every time i listen to la bamba i immediately think of ari and it makes me so happy
ok but the way ari was willing to die for dante. the way he would defend dante against anyone. the way he let dante into his life in ways he never allowed anyone to. the way ari let himself be vulnerable with dante. the way ari-
hi i would die for angel aristotle mendoza
