you know I love a period piece

[luxe-pauvre]

The main thing that youth has going for it is porpoise-tight skin. Raw, wide-eyed newness is meaningless. Nostalgia for knowing nothing is asinine; you can’t recapture it and you don’t want to relive it. Better to sing a song of experience with your burning tiger’s heart.

Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

[luxe-pauvre]

We talk about love like it’s an involuntary act. We fall into love, like a hole, a puddle, an elevator shaft. We never step mindfully into love. Love, we seem to think, requires a loss of control; love necessitates that vertiginous giving over to gravity; love wants you to have no choice. Your heart thumps because there’s danger and adrenaline in love. You lose yourself in love because you’ve displaced yourself. But dating sites and yentas, arranged marriages and speed dating, advise columns and blind dates, all argue that love is something we can manage, a losing that we can find. I suppose that if you walk into a minefield, you’re more likely to explode; if you walk a country lane in the dark, you’re more likely to trip; and if you put yourself in the path of dating, you’re more likely to fall in love. I maintain that love can’t simultaneously be an accident and a premeditated act, yet we treat it as if it is. It’s a necessary fiction, love’s oxymoronic nature. Love’s a contronym as sharp as “cleave” and twice as dangerous.

when you think about it, it is rather insane that Vis definitive trait that makes him unlike everyone else is simply having a moral backbone

[constant-book-hangover]

Vis: no one could ever figure out that I am the prince of Suss it is impossible. My backstory is rock solid.

Also Vis: openly admits he knows many dead languages, has the swordsmanship capabilities of the elite and shows off in front of the whole school, gets taken back to his home land with his friend and is having traumatic flash backs the whole time, admits to Idol that he is from Suss and spent time in the castle, is recognized by many of the people in Suss, names his fucking wolf friend DIAGO AFTER HIMSELF.

This man is the very definition of a guy who claims he wants a manic pixie girl but can’t handle her
