If you want me obedient, prince, kill me and carry my corpse.

If he doesn't call you the jewel of his soul; habibti, hayati, roohi; his fair gazelle; his sun and his moon; doesn't cry because his heart can't contain it; and doesn't think his soul was freed when it met yours-

Is he truly, really, worth it?

[kweerkitten]

y’all, forget found family, it’s zumra from now on

[tamquamm-alter-idem]

[whatsbename]

It's not 'family' if you don't feel murderous rage at each other sometimes

Zafira *struggling to walk in 1-inch heels*: Yeah.. these just aren’t for me

Since it's the first birthday of my favourite duology, I'm gonna put some of favourite quotes from We hunt the flame by Hafsah Faisal.

•People lived because she killed. People died because he lived.

( the parallels between these two i-)

• Love is for children, said the girl.

Death is for fools, said the shadow.

Darkness is my destiny, said the boy.

Allegiance is my undoing, said the eagle.

Suffering is our fate, said the beauty.

And they were all horribly wrong.

( what is this if not poetry??)

• A life without purpose may be no life, but a life without love is nothing but an existence.

( i am ok 👍)

• ..and he laughed a laugh she loved more than the warmest of fires on the coldest of nights.

(bottle the laugh girl bottle the laughhhhh)

•“My bride. My queen. My fair gazelle,” he said in the barest shred of a whisper. “Cannot all three be one and the same?”

( 🥺🥺🥺🥺)
