sometimes love is just “his feelings for adam were an oil spill” and “ronans second secret was adam parrish” and “making ronan lynch smile felt as charged as making a bargain with cabeswater” and “adam smiled cheerily, ronan would start wars and burn cities for that true smile” and “while he’d been looking at ronan, ronan had been looking at him” and “you smell like home” and “ronan missed him like a lung” and “maybe i dreamt you”

i love how in Six of Crows Matthias doesn’t really know anyone at the beginning but he refers to Wylan as ‘the soft one’ and Kaz as 'demon’

ongoing playlists for each character’s taste:

GANSEY’S RECORD PLAYER

old 50s ballads, piano rock, dad rock, some vampire weekend, some cold war kids and lana del rey and elvis presley, songs that sound like old money and driving cadillacs past rows of white houses on the east coast at the very end of spring, songs that sound like history you can grasp with your heart if you close your eyes and imagine hard enough

BLUE’S OLD MP3 PLAYER

hard rock, girl rock, classic rock, weird alt rock, a bit of grimes, a bit of lykke li and arcade fire, songs that sound like the idea of taking control of your destiny put into guitar chords, picking up tarot cards and yelling out the windows of your bedroom at the wind whistling through the leaves of the trees

HENRY’S IPOD

80s inspired pop, literal 80s pop, alt pop that sounds like summers spent tagging brick walls, a few by abba, a few by tyler, the creator and the 1975, songs that sound like dancing in the middle of the night as you wait for your laundry with your closet friends, living to the fullest as you drink lemonade from solo cups and laugh at your past mistakes

ancient authors ranked by their validity

homer: the OG greek literature. so valid that the greeks sometimes deified him. had some extremely sexy hexameter verse but does lose points on account of probably not being a real person. 8/10

sappho: EXTREMELY gay and valid. writes beautiful poetry but it is in like, the worst dialect of greek. loses some points because of largely not surviving to the modern day tho. 9/10

aristotle: some kind of misogynist bastard who doesn’t know shit about anything. student of plato which is about the least amount of valid you can be. get fucked 0/10

catullus: just a bisexual disaster trying to live his life and get laid 10/10

caesar: a war criminal and bastard -5/10

cicero: did his best which is very valid but also never shuts up about how cool he is which kinda puts a damper on it. 7/10

vergil: gays? bees? the countryside? this dude’s got it all and more. also has extreme social anxiety for bonus Relatability points 11/10

seneca the younger: stoicism isn’t valid 0/10

petronius: hated nero so much that he not only made fun of nero in his book but he also included a letter about how much he hated nero in his will when nero forced him to commit suicide and that’s pretty sexy 15/10
