you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

Laurent being all laced up to his neck in CP at the beginning of the story and at the end of KR he is wearing a chiton… The symbolism just hit me and i think this is such a beautiful way of showing his character development ugHH

To take it a step further in the Summer Palace Laurent is walking around naked, in a non sexual way. It’s like he’s at peace with his body and being perceived by other people without fearing judgement. Without having to uphold his former facade or any kind of guard…

Damen really gave him that freedom to do that, huh?

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

[prokopetz]

You are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. I am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

I'm reading a romantasy novel that is advertised as enemies to lovers but unfortunately I went to the C.S. Pacat's Captive Prince school of enemies to lovers so the "enemies" aspect reads about as intensely as schoolyard bullying
