give me domestic riorgail like this or ELSE

[megancanthearyou]

whhhyyyyyyyy doesnt violet have a pet name for Xaden

[sarcasticmothwrites]

Because my girl is so pleased to have him as hers she doesn’t want to give him some generic pet name that could be for anybody. Not when she can say his name. Most people call him by his title or his rank or just his unadorned last name; she is one of a very few who GETS to use Xaden, and she’s going to fucking use it.

do you know why xaden knew exactly how to touch violet ?

i mean yea he’s hot and knows what he’s doing— but most importantly, he had already touched her dozens of times in her thoughts

xaden’s power means he can see intentions, sometimes even before the person themself realizes what it is. the second before they do it or think it. and he said usually the thoughts come in pictures.

imagine how many flashes of her thoughts he got— his hands on her, his mouth on her, his body against hers. i mean by the time he finally got to touch her he was practically an expert in violetology

guys i know i disappeared but in this time i think i have acquired my very own shadow daddy and it's a woman and she's perfect.

[somewhere-in-the-rain]

Using one of his own daggers as a bookmark for Violet is just the most Xaden thing I have ever seen. Domestic Riorgail has me obsessed.

is anyone else's copy of OS bending kinda weird or is my house just too dry right now with the winter weather?? i've never seen a hardcover do this and it wasn't like this fresh out of the box so i'm not sure what's happening considering i haven't read enough of it yet to crack the spine awkwardly or anything :'(

[itsbeenmyhonor]

i fear i'm not even 50 pages into OS since i didn't get my copy till this afternoon ;-; i fear i will be the last person here to finish it but progress is progress! hopefully will have more time tmr !!

[romanticatheartt]

I keep thinking about this... and it breaks my heart everytime</3

Violet's relationship with her mom is so complicated and yet beautiful.

THE DRAGON BUTTON WHEN YOU GOOGLE REBECCA YARROS ARE YOU KIDDING I LOVE TODAY

[itsbeenmyhonor]

i might disappear from here for a few days until i'm done reading because i'm a bit scared of spoilers even with blocked tags since i won't have time to binge read 😭 but i love you all and i promise i will compile my thoughts into a phone note to discuss after!!

happy reading my lovelies !!

[itsbeenmyhonor]

guys hear me out

fables of the barren 3 brothers thing.

the one who commands the sky - violet.

the jealous brother - brennan ?????? idk he's sus to me for now.

the end.

[she-whatshername]

Bodhi cupping you face with both his hands, his thumbs drawing small circles on your cheeks as his other fingers cradle your jaw and neck. His lips pressed against yours, only breaking to adjust his angle so his tongue can once again slide across your bottom lip in hopes you grant him access to fully share the depths of his affection for you. Your noses pressed against one another other, the wetness of your mouths now glossed against your lips, chins even. He notices. He always does. He glides his thumb across your cheek to wipe against your lips only to pull the digit into his own mouth, smiling.

…that’s all 💖

[itsbeenmyhonor]

can we talk about how weird the whole "xaden had to reach age 10 and then his mom was free to go" thing is?? it just feels like such a random age to choose?? if fear of the child dying and being left without an heir for the throne again was the logic, that could happen at any age so why 10??

maybe there's something i've missed when it comes to policies of royal families butttt that whole arrangement seems sus.

[itsbeenmyhonor]

listen to coming clean by searows and tell me it's not sooooo kai/pae (with a dash of kitt angst) like wtf 😭😭😭 my hearttt

[iwillwalkthroughthefire]

Me, brimming with delusion, waiting for Onyx Storm to be released:
