I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

It’s crazy how the hunger games got turned into a love triangle story by the media when in the books katniss is like:

“Gale is my friend. We hunt together. He’s cool ig.”

“If peeta dies im gonna kill myself.”

[mindsmist]

always think of this meme when this scene comes up

[vampirejuno]

Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw

The individual stakes in the Lunar Chronicles are hilarious to me.

Cinder is the missing Lunar princess, and Iko’s her best friend. Kai is an Emperor and being perused by Levena as a political pawn. Wolf is one of Levena’s mind controlled soldiers who was sent after Scarlet, whose grandmother was part of Selene’s rescue team. Winter is Levana’s stepdaughter, and Jacin was raised alongside her and they basically the only family they each have left. Cress is Levena’s secret weapon who has been trying desperately to warn Earth about Levana’s plans, and is the daughter of a rouge Lunar scientist defying Levena.

And then there’s Thorne, who is only nvolved in saving the universe because Cinder took a wrong turn into his cell while trying to escape from prison 😂

She'd laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.

The first of 4 endpapers I got to illustrate for Illumicrate’s special edition of Six of Crows!! So happy I finally got to draw this scene!!

Finally placed my preorder for a signed copy of Tempest. This pirate romantasy cannot get into my hands fast enough.

normally i hate the “touch her and you die” trope but kanej did it nicely

bc he didn’t say “touch her and you’ll die”

she just got stabbed and he gouged out eyeballs killed the guy who did it

(also inej isn’t portrayed as weak, or in need of kaz)

"who radicalized you" ever since i was a child i wanted other people to be treated nicely and fairly because i didnt understand why theyd deserve otherwise and it fills me with disgust seeing how people treat their fellow human beings sometimes

6 of Crows

Jesper & Wylan

Kaz & Inej

Nina & Matthias

[avendell]

Inej Ghafa 🗡

[a-mythologynerd]

Tbh one of the most telling things about Kaz’s character is never makes or tries to convince Nina or Jesper to take pareem and actually actively keeps both of them from it. Just the idea that Matthias gave the pareem to Kaz cause he knew Nina wouldnt be able to get Kaz to give it to her. And Jesper asks for it as a fail safe and Kaz denies him. Kaz who has all this big talk about giving everything for the plans, everything for revenge won’t let his friends destroy their lives and die despite the fact his persona claims he would
