“Tell me, Matthew,” he said. “Tell me the name of the shadow that is always hanging over you. I can become a shadow. I could fight it for you.”

Matthew squeezed his eyes shut, as if in pain. “Oh, Jamie,” he sighed. “What if I said there is no shadow?”

“I would not believe you,” said James. “I know what I feel in my own heart.”

Everyday I think about how Hannibal Lecter destroyed his life just for the possibility that Will Graham would want to rebuild it with him

Lord John Grey is so funny. He’s like, “No, no, I TOTALLY want to fck you, will until the day I die. But not like this, Jamie.”

This show’s sexual politics are wild. But I love these two so much. Sam and David do a great job.

Jamie forcing Twelvestrees to challenge him to a duel after Twelvestrees has called John a sodomite in public:

John going to confront Twelvestrees about the "insult":

Just Lord John being very handsome and very gay.

Watching Hannibal is so difficult. Not because of all the murder and poetic gaslighting, but because it is genuinely difficult to see shit. It’s a fucking eye strain.

Where the hell is my Lord John Grey spin-off series huh

Rewatching “Outlander” from the beginning is such a wonderful experience. To see Jamie and Claire slowly falling in love again, knowing what kind of complicated journey they have ahead of them. They have always been and will always be one of my favorite fictional couples and OTPs. And also to see so many great “old”  characters that have already sadly passed away and also to know how many wonderful characters are yet to arrive. To make some connections between certain events that you didn’t figure out earlier. And the excitement is still present, because plot is so colorful, multilayered and well-written that one can’t possibly remember everything by heart. I just love this show so much and can’t wait for season 6.

“James knew that under the songs and jokes, the careful deflection, his father was a man who felt things deeply. He himself was like his father in that way: they both loved intensely, and could be intensely hurt.”

this is sending me 💀💀

Thomas had no reason to like Alastair, had in fact every reason to dislike Alastair, but in these small moments standing next to one another in the presence of a beautiful object, he was glad Alastair was there, and Alastair’s acknowledgment of him, however small, made him feel better than he had since he’d arrived in Paris.

Maybe he had changed, Thomas thought. Maybe everyone grew up sooner or later. Maybe he had not even been that bad in the first place.

Oh rafa 🥺🥺🥺

Alec smiled crookedly into their silence and offered, “Hey, here for the festival?”

The faerie boy gasped out, “Yes!”

“Me too,” said Alec. “Family outing. Those are my kids over there, with my husband. Over there. That’s my husband.”

Alec said “my husband” so proudly, as if the word was a new and dearly prized acquisition with the shine still on it, something he wanted to show everybody.

“I don’t want to be in charge of the clan,” Elliott wailed. “Please be a vampire and lead us, Jace! Please!”

“I used to walk in here and have to fight for my life as the place fell down around me,” Jace mused. “Now it’s all velvet cushions and insistent offers of immortal beauty.”

“It’s just one tiny bite,” Elliott coaxed him. “You’ll like it.”

“Nobody likes getting all their blood sucked out, Elliott,” Alec said severely.

Both the vampires in the room smiled because he was telling them off, then looked upset because of what he was saying.

“You only think that because Simon did it wrong,” Lily argued. “I’ve pointed out to him many times that he messed up everything for all of us.”

“Simon did fine,” Jace muttered.

“I didn’t like it,” said Alec. “I won’t talk about this again. Let’s get going.”

“Ah yes.” Lily brightened. “I’m very curious to see how the hottest Shadowhunter in the world is doing.”

“I’m great,” said Jace.

Lily tapped her foot. “Nobody’s talking about you, Jason. Have you heard the phrase ‘tall, dark, and handsome’?”

“Sounds like an old-fashioned saying,” said Jace. “Sounds like something people used to say before I was born.”

He grinned at Lily, who grinned back at him. Jace didn’t just pull the pigtails of people he had crushes on. He pulled the pigtails of everyone in the world he liked. This was something Simon still had not figured out over the years.

“There are a lot of hot Shadowhunters,” said Elliott. “That’s the point of them, isn’t it?”

“No,” said Alec. “We fight demons.”

“Oh,” said Elliott. “Right.”

“I don’t mean to brag. I’m just saying that if they made a book of hot Shadowhunters, my illustration would be on every page,” Jace said serenely.

“Nope,” said Lily. “It would be filled with pictures of the Carstairs family.”

“It seems somehow blasphemous to use Marks to rid oneself of the effects of alcohol,” Matthew added, as Thomas put his stele away. The Mark in question gleamed, new-made, on Matthew’s wrist. He looked already more clear-eyed, and less as if he were about to fall asleep or be sick.

“I’ve seen you use your stele to part your hair,” said James dryly, as he began to examine the window locks.

“The Angel gave me this hair,” replied Matthew. “It’s one of the Shadowhunters’ gifts. Like the Mortal Sword.”

“Now that is blasphemy,” said Thomas. Christopher had joined James in checking the window fastenings, though James desperately wished he could open one and get some air into the room.

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever, Thomas,” said Matthew.”
