How Do I Explain To My Mother That Writing Is The Most Freeing Thing That Has Ever Been Gifted To Me,

I'll go ahead and say it. THERE IS NO BETTER DUO THAN THE ONE OF A SECRETLY POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MAN BUT SUPER CALM AND CHILL AND HIS BATSHIT MURDEROUS (extra points if she's a vampire) AND EXTREMELY DISTURBING DARK POETIC LOOKING GIRLFRIEND.

And that was the presentation on how most of how my book will 100% evolve. "I will kill you. One day. But right now I really like you. Also, you couldn't hurt a fly, although you def look like you could."

“She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else’s life.”

―Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo

This is what you're missing. You know who you are. READ.

(if you're not that person. I'm sorry<3)

Jem and his underrated humour

“and the sun has come up in the east” he was so funny without even trying

Ok. Now hear me the fuck out. Maryse and Celine as close friends. Waywood all the way. Maryse/Eliza?????

Please???

Someone?

Cassie Clare and Rick Riordan being friends is my holy reason of existence.

Just imagine them, sipping on a cup of coffee at a coffee shop, planning together which characters to share and how to make them similar to one another, who to kill and which cliffhangers are the best.

I have never suffered more in my life, needles to say I now recommend it to all of my friends

I'm not kidding when I say that after finishing lord of shadows I had to punch the wall a couple of times, eventually got up and started pacing around my room, head in hands, then buckled up laughing in disbelief. had to check the book to verify did this actually happen.

Nelly Dean (to Heathcliff): Who knows but your father was Emperor of China, and your mother an Indian queen?

Emerald Fennell: ... and that could mean nothing

I think it’s very interesting that Alec’s full name is Alexander.

Alexander means ‘man’s defender’ which is often his tactical position during fights. He defends the perimeter with his bow and often gets the brunt of attacks.

Although it fits perfectly with his identity as a Shadowhunter, it also fits nicely with his personality.

Alec is very defensive over the people he loves:

- He threatens Clary over Jace

- Kills Meliorn when searching for Magnus (insane moment that cemented him as my favourite character)

- Was adverse to Simon dating his sister (who he’s extremely protective of)

⬇️⬇️In this scene he nearly flips ⬇️⬇️

“Where's Simon?" Clary interrupted.

Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.

Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. "Did he touch you? If he tried anything-"

No, Alec," Isabelle said irritably. "Not like that. He's a rat."

Even with his sons he’s always defending them, he worked hard to make sure Rafael was adopted properly.

Not to mention all the things he does for the Downworlder community.

Alec spent a lot of his life worrying about being unable to live up to expectations, only to become what his name represented.

Alexander doesn’t just mean defender, bro IS the defender 🔥

October in Sweden.

Also. I NEED for the "Roseblood" (maryse and eliza) ship to be as canon as Waywood (I will die if it isn't).
