Kingdom of Copper, but Ali enters Daevabad to the sound of Lubayd and Aqisa singing "Prince Ali" from Aladdin

‘It is a very lovely place to be executed, I will grant you that,’ Lubayd said conversationally as they were escorted down a deserted palace corridor. Sweet-smelling purple flowers climbed the columns, dappled sunlight playing through the wooden screens. ‘We’re not going to be executed,’ Ali said, trying to keep the feeling that they were walking to their doom from his face. ‘They took our weapons,’ Lubayd pointed out ‘Well, they took Aqisa’s and my weapons…you gave yours away. Brilliant move, by the way.’ Ali threw him a dark look.

daevabad characters as John Mulaney quotes

Ali: When I'm walking down the street, I don't think anyone goes, "Hey, look at that man." They're like, "wow! That tall child looks terrible!"

Zaynab: Some people give off a vibe, right away, of "Don't fuck with me".

Jamshid: My vibe is more like, "You could pour hot soup in my lap and I'd probably apologize to you."

Muntadhir: I'm sorry, it's just that I'm mean and loud. It will probably happen again.

Nahri: 'Cause you know how you lie to your parents?

Dara: I also don't want me to be doing what I'm doing.

[about] Ghassan: So my dad pulls up to the drive thru window and orders a single black coffee. The one thing that no child can enjoy.

Kaveh: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.

Manizheh: And then I said, "No". You know, like a liar.

Lubayd: You know when you're having one of those days where you're like, this might as well happen? Adult life is already so goddamn weird.

Aqisa: Hi, I'm very gay and I'd like a few dollars.

Hatset: You're never too young to learn our national no-snitching policy.

Nisreen: I try to stay optimistic, but I admit, things are getting pretty sticky.

Vizaresh: Eat ass, suck dick, and sell drugs.
