“You were right, Alessandra. Last night. All of those things you said. I’ve been afraid to truly live. Being with you outside of closely observed mealtimes makes me vulnerable. If someone learns my secret, if we were to accidentally touch—I could be killed. “But that’s no way to live. I may not be allowed to ever have someone physically close to me. But that doesn’t mean I can’t let you in. I … like you, and I hope that you could like me, too.” Something in me … softens. There’s something about looking on this dark, powerful man and hearing his hopes for us. It makes me want to make those hopes become real. Right before I end his life, of course.

Miss ma'am pls the man just bared his heart to you 😭✋🏻

“You are beautiful,” he continues. “But not so beautiful as to tempt me. You are everything I am looking for. You are perfect.” I don’t have words. So as not to have my jaw hanging down to the table, I put another bite of cake on my tongue. You are perfect, he’d said. Right after not so beautiful as to tempt me. I want to slap him. I want to kiss him. I want to throw the rest of my cake in his face as much as I want to finish off the delicious dessert.

The way I cackled at this 😭✋🏻

“But—I’ve shared your bed,” he splutters. Yes, he and three other boys this month. “And now it’s time for you to leave it.” I move to rise from the bed when the door to my chambers bursts open.

I still love how badass Alessandra was here. I know it's an ongoing thing about men being able to fuck around and still be called just a playboy/player or Casanova. And if women fuck around, they're instantly a slut/whore. I just really liked the way that Alessandra's sleeping around before she got to the castle wasn't turned into a huge issue, and especially that Kallias had a progressive mindset given the setting of the story.

I need fat female characters in tv whose weight is inconsequential. It means nothing to the story.

She's fat and gets the guy and no one bats an eye.

She's fat and the hottest chick in the sorority and that's normal.

She's fat and an actress and she gets good roles.

She's fat and she's funny and she has character depth and growth.

She's fat and the main character and no one mentions her weight once.

I'm fat and my weight doesn't play a part in my day to day conversations, or plans, or friendships. Why can't I have that on tv?

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

I’ve always wondered how Jude got the idea of mithridatism. Then I re-read The Cruel Prince for the second time and realised it was prince dain. Now I’m very happy he got what he got.

[sweetwickednemesis]

Honestly, with how volatile the royal court is, him encouraging this was very smart and paid off multiple times.

Had Jude not done this, she would not have known Cardan was poisoned. Had she not done this, she could not have done what she did to Madoc to buy time.

Prince Dain may have been cruel, as all fae are, but the mithridatism was actually very beneficial.

guys guys guys why am I loving The Shadows Between Us so much? It's so hilarious to see Kallias being jealous through letters 😭✋🏻 Also is it just me or is he sort of giving like Darkling vibes? Or is it just the shadows?

And Alessandra? She's just out here girlbossing her way through court 😭

I never thought I'd use the term girlbossing on my blog

[lavenderfroggii]

so yall know that trend going around where people like run into Scientology buildings to see how far they can go before they’re caught?

can somebody write a fanfic about Kaz hearing about that, saying “bet” and planning a whole new heist?

I reblogged this yesterday, but I want to reblog it again. Diabetic ketoacidosis turns your blood acidic and will essentially burn you from the inside out.

The stories you hear of people dying from rationing, this is what happens to their body.

Affordable insulin isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity.

No one should have to die like that when it’s preventable with access to proper medication.

Dire Bound spoilers ahead

Guys guys guys why was Dire Bound so good?! I just finished reading it last night and like AAAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHH! GIMME THE NEXT ONE RIGHT NOW!!!

Istg I felt so horrible that I wasn't vibing with Killian the entire time. I was so damned guilty towards the end before shit hit the fan because I was like, "What if he's been so genuine and nice the entire time and it's just a me problem?" I was rooting for Stark the entire time and I thought I was being unfair to Killian.

I even felt so bad when Stark and Meryn went to the front and Meryn had the urge to kiss him during that tattoo scene. Because I was like "gurl you're emotionally cheating pls" 😭 and this is after the fact that I hated on The Poison Daughter because the MMC has been so ready to cheat on the FMC (his fiancée during that time). Honestly, I might have to elaborate on The Poison Daughter scene in a rant post soon 😭

But after those last few chapters? FUCK KILLIAN!! THE ABSOLUTE NERVE OF THIS GUY!

The way I'd initially thought the private room and the dress were from Stark but then Killian took credit for it and I was like, "Damn. Maybe I'm really not being nice by not giving him a chance." But like ?????? This MF actually took credit for things he didn't do?

And what do you mean Stark pulled a Cardan Greenbriar and got a dress for Meryn for the ball? Like hello, do we all remember when Cardan got that dress made for Jude in The Cruel Prince and it was so meaningful because fucking Taryn stole the dress Jude wanted? My heart pls 😭😭😭
