Yknow something that really pisses me off about Hush, hush— or rather Patch and Nora
SPOILERS BELOW
Is the fact that when Patch’s intentions with Nora are revealed to her, it’s as though everything is fine.
I know the book in general is fantasy but it’s be preferable if they kept the realistic aspect to some degree.
I don’t think that it makes sense for any woman (or man or otherwise) that finds out the person she fell in love with has been lying to her, keeping things from her and the ENTIRE time they were developing a relationship, was intending to kill her in multiple moments of vulnerability would just forgive and forget like Nora did.
I love the plot and I don’t think patch owes her anything necessarily, but neither does she. Why is she completely okay with it as soon as he “explains” himself as though it erases the things he did?
It sounds to me kind of like,
“Hey so basically you were right about me. I am dangerous but only really to you, despite everything we’ve been through because I DO!actually want to kill you for my own benefit and for another woman 😢. In fact I was gonna kill you like the other day right before I kissed you- BUT! I changed my mind!😋 So it’s obvi fine bc that was like SO last week!🙄”
And then Nora, “It’s okay babe! I love you and I know I’m pretty much just a replacement for the loyl and you don’t treat me well even now but it’s OKAY bc that was like SO last week!☺️”
And then they smash??? Like Nora???? The lack of self respect is unreal bebe😟 like at least give him an earful or the silent treatment or SMTH
put Nora (my Fernweh Saga MC) into the height difference site just for the sake of visuals and it's everything I hoped for
she is so leetle (5'3", to be exact)
I headcanon that she's the exact same height she was when she left Fernweh. And also that she has some clothes that were left at the Corvin house that definitely still fit her...
something something "not growing past your trauma" something something "everyone else grew up and moved on but you're the same as you ever were"
(some vaguely-related thoughts, under the cut)
deciding that Eleanor's super short was kind of what solidified James/Reese/Silas/Becca as her RO variations
because as much as I love Ruby being defensive on behalf of a short MC, Reese teasing her about her height was just so good. And then I had to pick James for the whole "you know you aren't actually the tallest person here, Reese 🙄" scene.
I've been torn between Silas and Sofia the most out of all of them, but after joining the patreon and seeing the portraits, Silas has won out on account of he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen ever 😳🥺
and then I chose Becca because A) I wanted at least one female RO dammit, and B) something about having all of Nora's Fernweh friends being men and the friend she met outside of town being a woman feels very poignant, especially with the way the townsfolk treat Becca like an outsider. It's also very true to my lived experience; most of my friends as a kid were boys, but most of the ones I've made as an adult are women. I don't know why that is, but here we are.
(I don't know that purple is Nora's color, I see her more as a light/neon blue (or like a dusky magenta?), but I didn't want her color to be too similar to Silas's, so I picked purple. Reese's color is more black than red, also, but I like a rainbow.)
anyway I just really, really want her to borrow a shirt or something from James or Silas because the visual is perfection
Eu faria qualquer coisa por você, mesmo que isso signifique ir contra meus instintos ou minha própria natureza. Gostaria de entregar tudo o que possuo, mesmo a minha alma, para você. Se isso não é amor, é o melhor que eu tenho.
