Jem, staring at his phone: Kit, I have a question.
Kit: What’s up?
Jem: What does “thicc” mean? It has to c’s.
Kit: Uh, well, I- it kind of means, uh, like… I guess it kind of means you have a nice butt.

Hands down my favorite thing about TDA and specifically QoAaD is how Clare said "y'all don't like my first MC? Here's what would have happened if she hadn't been around" and it's the actual apocalypse
*When Gabriel and Cecily first meet*
Cecily: You have no idea what I’m capable of.
Gabriel: Don’t take it personally, but I feel like I’m being threatened by a cupcake.
[Later]
Gabriel: You’re the scariest cupcake I’ve ever met.
Cecily: Will is in trouble again!
Gabriel: Yeah, well, I broke my leg… what did he do?
Cecily: He hit someone with a car. How did you break your leg?
Gabriel: … sOMEoNe hit me with a car
Will, in the background: Lightworm, are you coming or not? I don't care, but I'm going to pay the Silent City a visit now, with or without you.
Cordelia: I made a marshmallow Alastair, see? His arms are crossed because he’s mad at all the other marshmallows for annoying him. Do you like it?
Alastair, clearly emotional: It’s okay
Matthew: Hey, do you know anybody that can teach me how to play the trumpet?
Thomas: Why do you need to learn how to play the trumpet?
Matthew: I wanna wander around and annoy Charles by playing it.
Thomas, thinking about how Charles mistreated Alastair: Technically you don’t need to know how to play it to do that.
Matthew: You have opened my eyes, Thomas
Gabriel: Please. Don't try to act like you guys care!
Will: Oh, thank God.
Will: Family, I want you to meet my falcon. I'm a falconer now.
James: And yet for Christmas I got a wrapped scrambled egg.
Why pick one favorite character when you can simply adopt every single one of them (except for the Dearborns, they go straight into the trashcan)?
