I will never get over Fang Runin who didn’t have the privilege of having a heart. She destroys her uterus and any chance of having a family and writes to no one in her hometown because she can’t afford to be distracted from her studies the way that her classmates can. The people around her open up about their past and their feelings and she can’t comfort them, she can only tell them to be stronger because that’s all anyone ever told her. She falls in love with someone who betrays her because his whole life’s purpose is creating a future that she can’t exist in. She actively refuses to see her enemies as people because she couldn’t live with the choices she made if she stopped to think. She couldn’t even hang onto the love she had for her best friend, the one person she loved more than anyone and swore to always protect, because she is so consumed by rage and grief and despair that in the end, she kills both him and herself.

The tragedy of Fang Runin is that she was never allowed to have a heart so she stopped considering having one to be a possibility. Everyone around her told her that her life is not her own and no one gave her a chance to be anything but a peasant or a soldier. Peasants and soldiers don’t have the privilege of love and safety and comfort. Rin’s birthright is anger and violence. And that is what kills her.

the biggest difference between the raven cycle and the dreamer trilogy is that the power of friendship saves the day in TRC & the power of a glock declan found on the ground saves the day in TD3

Possibly unpopular opinion but I think Aaron gets too much hate

My literal favorite interaction in any of the books is the morning after Columbia when Neil throws a GLASS FULL OF WATER directly at Aaron’s head and Aaron COMPLETELY UNBOTHERED by this smacks it out of the air before it can hit him

Like girl please he invented the word cunt

[palmettoshenanigans]

do you think he so easily knocked the glass away unbothered because his mom used to throw shit at him while she was drunk?

[hyacinthusflami]

bugonalog: Aaron is so cool! Such cunt!

palmettoshenanigans: Would you like to cry about it?

happy valentine's day to my favorite cunt4cunt couple <3

thinking about kevin's tattoo artist. how much money did kevin have to pay them to tattoo his FACE while DRUNK. were they an exy fan. did they spend the entire prep/stencil/tat time outwardly exuding professionalism while internally screaming. did they offer him aftercare instructions while knowing that motherfucker was going to be on the court tomorrow, sweating a fuckton over that open wound against his own brother. did they immediately text their friends after kevin left, you are literally never going to guess what i just fucking did

so aftg is a book about being broken and finding a way to stitch your broken pieces together to make something scarred but strong. it’s about hope against all odds and loving even after losing everything. it’s about finding happiness in the oddest of places, and it’s about taking a hammer to the rock bottom you’ve hit and chiseling out a home.

and what do i say if i’m reading it in public and someone asks me what it’s about? “*long silence* …sports?”

Pre-Andreil discussion between Neil, Katelyn & Aaron

K: Soooo, Neil, I hear Marissa is into you!

N: Who the fuck is Marissa

K: …um, my friend who you sat next to at the restaurant for like 2 hours yesterday? Brown hair, green eyes?

N: Nope, don’t remember her.

K: Okay. Do you at least know who I am?

N: Sure. Your name is…Cheerleader. Kathleen? Kelly? Idk, but you’re dating the ugly Minyard.

A: For the last time, Josten — WE. ARE. IDENTICAL. TWINS.

N: Whatever you say, Discount Andrew.

can we all keep it together and promise that we're not going to go back to the "i love these dumpster fire books" mindset with aftg and with tsc when tsc comes out? i'm tired of y'all pretending the writing isn't good and like the character arcs and plot and subplots are bad when they're actually beautifully structured and they deserve our attention and our praise without a "but it's sooooo bad haha" being added to everything. these books are good. and if you can't admit to yourself that you're reading them because you like them and they're good then maybe you aren't ready to pick up the story that we've been waiting for for years.

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

"bigger idiots than me have done it" is a phrase I live by

fuck dating apps i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (you’re walking your bike up the last hill into town wearing your school uniform. i’m hanging out the passenger side window of my best friend’s car. your hands are beautiful. we know nothing about each other. you disappear in the rear view mirror. i close my eyes and send up a simple, inexplicable, desperate prayer to god. i say please. i have never said please in my life)
