messrjamesprongspotter ---> girlunderwater

because i can’t stop thinking about that one line (well, let’s not pretend it’s just the one line lol) in chapter 26 of crooked kingdom: “She reached for the shears, graceful as always, a girl underwater, and offered them to him handle first.”

it’s just so tender!! i love the way kaz sees inej and describes her as a girl underwater, even though his trauma is linked to water...

being alive is like: you want to go home. you don't know where home is. you want to go home. you don't know where home is. you want to go home. you haven't known for a long time. you want to go home but you don't know where you'd go. you want to go home you want to go home you want to go home

spending hours and hours reading my favourite marauders’ fanfiction from when i was in grade 9 over the phone to the guy i’m dating… life is not real

[ilynpilled]

bran’s aspirations for knighthood and the kingsguard specifically and how familiar he is with their stories and how it was always music to his ears and how he romanticizes them and how it is reiterated later in his chapters that those dreams were crushed due to him being crippled is one of my favorite tragedies in the series. obsessed that he was robbed of his dreams by the man that became as vile as he is primarily because of his experience and disillusionment with those same ‘heroes’ and the corrupt moral and ethical frameworks they exist within. i also like it in terms of emotional weight and how viscerally terrible it makes jaime’s act. like… he was the one that killed the boy this time. he killed the boy that “wanted to be ser arthur dayne.” i love the cyclical nature of it all.

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible. 

Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. 

Franz Kafka, “Letters to Milena”

It’s so hard to speak and say things that cannot be said. It’s so silent.
