"Juan is cocky and proud as a young lion, with his mane of red-brown hair and a nose as straight as his own is beaked. So fresh and smooth that there is almost a girl’s prettiness to his face. But there is nothing feminine in his behavior. Such boundless energy, such outrageous confidence. Where others see vanity, Alexander sees only promise. A young man roaring and chafing at the bit, ready to take on the world. And why not? When did life ever reward those who cowered in its corners?"
Chloe vs Shara from Casey McQuiston’s I Kissed Shara Wheeler for Femslash February day 26: Fight 🗡️
Because they couldn’t have written this scene without hoping somebody would draw it
“Sometimes, when Chloe is stressed, she pictures herself in another life.
Not as somebody else. She imagines herself in a universe where she gets to be cool and super hot and everybody appreciates how capable and smart she is, like if she were a vampire hunter in Edwardian England. It’s a coping strategy, okay?
She tries to calm down as she drives to school by imagining herself at a fancy banquet, whipping up silk skirts to reveal a dagger strapped to her thigh before she flicks it across the room, straight into the wall an inch from vampire Shara’s face.
