I really can't get over this quote here because it is probably true (at least in S1). Hear me out:

Uk loved Naksu to death, quite literally. The last thing he did after she stabbed him was to sink her sword deeper into his chest so he could embrace her and protect her from the other mages with his own body. Then reached for her hand in a secret "I love you" gesture because he couldn't even talk anymore.

Naksu was the first person who ever saw him for himself, and he would burn the world for her.

But for Naksu Uk was everything even if she never explicitly said it.

He was also the first and only person to see her for herself. He was her safe place in a world that hated, hunted and hurt her. She had to rely on herself ever since she was a kid, had to be strong, the strongest, since no weakness was allowed. She was isolated, living in the middle of nowhere in dire conditions.

And then Uk came along and offered her a house where people took care of her. HE took care of her, protected her, showed her she could rely on him. And all of a sudden she was no longer alone, she didn't have to fend for herself, she didn't have to be strong, she no longer was just an assassin. She was just her, someone worthy of love, someone who deserved to be taken care of, someone who could be weak.

He destroyed the walls she'd built and gave her a safe space where she could let go instead of living in survival mode.

He showered her with love when all she'd ever known was violence.

For most of her life, her sense of identity revolved around her power. She was the most powerful mage in all of Daeho. And he was the person she gave up all of that for. She gave up everything for him and she didn't care.

He was her haven in a world that killed her twice and then killed her a third time.

quick rant but i seem to have over looked this part in QoN entirely

CARDAN PROTECTED JUDE TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITIES?!?!??? I mean, this is the first time he's seeing Jude after her exile and he only just got her back and all of a sudden she's being taken away AND HE FOUGHT SO HARD FOR HER??????

[clockworkbee]

How much do you expect a guy to stand there and keep losing his girl 😭

[k-xxiv]

NAUURRR CUZ I OVERLOOKED THAT ONE TOO AAAAAAAA 😭

[clockworkbee]

Is it just me or did Cardan really put in some effort on his part about knowing certain ways of the mortals like “exchanging rings” ehm, ehm—

“I’m trying to protect you,” he murmured. “Red, I’d let the world burn before I hurt you.”

The moment seemed to stretch as they sat there, close and warm on one bed. Then Eammon stood gracelessly, running a hand through his hair. He picked up the glass of wine on the desk and took a sip before handing it to Red. “Fife is attempting soup. Do you want some?”

“I think I just want to sleep.”

Eammon nodded, headed to the staircase. “Good night, then.”

“You have to sleep, too.”

He stopped, glanced over his shoulder with a raised brow.

Red took a swallow of wine. “No more all-nighters,” she said firmly. “You’re exhausted, Eammon.”

“I promise I will sleep.”

“Here. With at least a proper blanket. Not slumped over a table in the library.”

The heavy brow climbed higher, the corner of his lip following. “Any other orders, Lady Wolf?”

Her cheeks flushed, but Red angled up her chin. “Not at present, Warden.”

i really love how i don’t understand the first few chapters of this book but glad i kept going because this:

“The door to the Keep banged open, silhouetting Lyra’s curling hair and slender figure. “And when were you planning on telling us you got married?”

Red stopped in the center of the courtyard. “I . . .”

“Delightful,” Eammon muttered, staggering up the hill with his bloody shirt sticking to his skin. “I’m going to kill Fife.”

is hilarious and adorable AGH ✨😩

It's the way Herongraystairs' story isn't even a real tragedy by definition - given that Will lived a full life and died at an old age surrounded by his family, and Tessa got to be with both the men she loved at the right time - yet we all collectively do see it as a tragic love story because of how potent and eternal their love is?

Like it feels as if the only worthy outcome for a trio like theirs is for them to live in joy eternally right by each other's side at all moments, so when the happiest mortal outcome happened, it just struck us as "wow, this is so unfair and sad" because their love is just so big

<3 herongraystairs is the standard. i rest my case

“For what?”

“Just say it.”

Watching Jang Uk get offers from every mage family, then walk straight over to Mu Deok in front of everybody and ask her where he should go… Pure dopamine, 10/10, no notes

This feels like something Dante would say to Tella

(Caraval Series)

[reverie-quotes]

She used to think it was ridiculous, the idea that a girl would give her heart to a boy even though she knew it would also give him the power to destroy her…she was beginning to understand how hearts could be slowly given away, without a person even realizing. How sometimes just a look, or a rare moment of vulnerability like the one Dante had just shared with her, was enough to steal a fraction of a heart.

I still can't believe CC didn't let George Lovelace live because Simon could only have one best friend and that's Clary. It's something I can't even begin to understand over time. George deserved more than that ending he got.

[k-xxiv]

it seemed unfair to me too. like George didn’t have to die like that. like i want him and Simon to maybe meet some time in the future and fight side by side even atleast once. i never thought i’d cry this much not after Will and Jem from The Infernal Devices. why CC why 😭💔

“Ragnor and Raphael. They were both supposed to be immortal. Magnus had thought they would last forever, as he did, down the centuries, that there would always be another meeting and another chance. But they were gone, and the mortals Magnus loved lived on. It was a lesson, Magnus thought, to love while you could, love what was fragile and beautiful and imperiled. Nobody was guaranteed forever.”

I truly believe that in every girl’s life, there is that one golden summer, when boys are finally looking at you and you’re looking back. That was my inspiration for The Summer I Turned Pretty. That moment in time when everything is right on the verge of happening: late nights and first love and longing, and the heartbreak that inevitably follows.
