Chapter 14 of The Rift Wars

James let out a short breath. “You may refer to her only as Lady Blackthorn.”

“Apologies,” Matthew said half-heartedly. “You see, in Idris, we believe that love, no matter the suffering it brings, should still be worth it. Worth fighting for. Is she worth it?”

“Of course she is,” James said, irritated.

“Do you desire her?”

The question was unexpected, disorienting.

The Morgensterns being Swiss… lowkey is that a Frankenstein reference ??

[helenofblackthorns]

I feel like CC makes a few different nods to classic gothic books throughout like Arthur being the mad uncle in the attic has to be a reference to Jane Eyre

[witchlingcirce]

To add onto the Frankenstein one. Victor(Valentine) creating a monster (Sebastian) for his own ambition + his idea of making the world better + the creature coming out ‘wrong’ (Valentine saying that Sebastian had too much demon blood in him) + leading the creature to a world of loneliness (Sebastian being shunned by shadowhunter society) + The monster asking for a companion but being denied (Clary) + leading the monster to commit mass destruction (Sebastian starting the dark war)

Postcolonial and Decolonial Theory Starter Pack

Postcolonial and decolonial theory are not, in an official capacity, interchangeable. Postcolonial theory analyses the cultural and intellectual aftermath of colonialism. Decolonial theory assumes that colonialism never ended given that its structures continue organising modern life. However, there is significant overlap between the two types of theory, and their theorists have significantly influenced one another over the decades. Here are 10 works which are a quick introduction to this area of political thought and world philosophy.

Frantz Fanon – Black Skin, White Masks

Frantz Fanon – The Wretched of the Earth

Edward Said – Orientalism

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak – "Can the Subaltern Speak?"

Walter Mignolo – The Darker Side of Western Modernity

Anibal Quijano – “Coloniality of Power, Eurocentrism, and Latin America”

Enrique Dussel – Philosophy of Liberation

Aimé Césaire – "Discourse on Colonialism"

Homi K. Bhabha – The Location of Culture

Eduardo Galeano – Open Veins of Latin America

Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

You should be able to listen to a full album without looking at your phone. You should be able to watch a 3 hour film from beginning to end without checking social media. If you can't do this, you need to start training your attention span as if it were a physical muscle. I don't experience boredom or restlessness because I've trained my brain to not be dependent on quick stimuli and dopamine hits. If you can't chill on a park bench while waiting for a friend with just your imagination to keep you company, you need to learn how to do it ASAP because one day we may not have access to the internet.

No, [insert random actor/actress name] could never play The Vampire Lestat.

No one but Sam fucking Reid is capable of this.

it’s times like this that i am reminded that, yes, matthew is indeed henry’s son.

[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

Honestly, if I was raised by Valentine to believe I'm nothing but a killing machine, abused every day until his death, and there was a golden boy everyone liked better than me, and everybody hated me and I had no one, I too would have wanted to burn the world.
