the wraith and the thief

Reading the Priory first and then reading a Day of Fallen Night adds a lot of context for some characters. Like when we’re introduced to Glorian Shieldheart, she’s been a legend for centuries, a force of nature, a warrior who carried her baby on her hip as she led her people to victory. However when she appears in a Day of Fallen Night, it’s like she’s a child, she’s loves sweets and playing in the snow with her friends, she loves horseback riding, she loves her papa, she’s scared of her mom, she just wants her mom to be proud, she wants to be a good queen, there’s so much burden on her, she’s a child who just lost her parents and now needs to bear a child herself. She’s a child and she now must lead to country to war. She’s just a child.

you’ve got to be careful reading fantasy books that are also romances because when the horny scenes arrive they’ll say shit like “i had a dream you were still a godsinger, and i was your shrine” and “i may not be your queen, but i am yours, and you will find that i can be very generous”

okay i'm not sure what is funnier, the fact that most of the band went out for lunch and then came back to find that a whole fucking song had been recorded, or being the two that were left behind and suddenly bruce gets in the booth like "hey i've got this new song i've just finished writing" and you're like oh cool, only to be trapped in a room with him as he sings about how uncontrollably horny he is

hope is not lost today… it is found.

He looked down at his boots. “That berth belongs to you too. It will always be there when―if you want to come back.” Inej could not speak. Her heart felt too full, a dry creek bed ill-prepared for such rain. “I don’t know what to say.”

SET IT UP IS AMAZING!!

second favorite part of 2005 pride and prejudice is when lizzy tells darcy that lydia ran off with wickham and he’s like “can i help” and she’s like “no” and he’s like “then i have to go do something unrelated immediately” and she totally falls for it

#also of note is the 2nd proposal is as verbose he’ll ever be on his feelings in his life  #like ever again  #he’s not a Talker  #he won’t explain how he feels  #(at a pinch he will explain WHY he has acted a certain way and that’s as close as you’ll get)  #so fluffy domestic scenes are all very well but like that ain’t gonna happen  #what will happen is this:  #lizzie: [is upset about something]  #darcy: …..oh no  #darcy: [goes away for 2 hours]  #darcy: [comes back with his sleeves rolled up]  #darcy: I MADE YOU A SHELF  #ITS IN THE WEST SITTING ROOM LIKE YOU SAID RECENTLY IT’D BE NICE TO HAVE A SHELF PUT UP THERE  #SO I HAVE MADE THAT FOR YOU  #IT’S A SHELF FOR THINGS AND IT’S FOR YOU  #lizzie: ………… you’re a dork and I love you.

hermione granger you really are the brightest witch of your age.

in a galaxy far, far away.

I really want a movie where there’s this Dark Brooding Male Hero who’s like, a total badass, and during all the fight scenes he keeps getting flashbacks to happy images of his wife, and like his whole narrative is framed around his wife, and all the other heroes on his team know that he’s got this passion and vengeance and think it all has to do with his dead wife… but then near the end of the movie his wife shows up and he’s like “hey babe” they’re all shocked and they’re like, “Wait I thought all your power and passion came from avenging your dead wife?” and he’s like “no bro, I just really love my wife, she’s really cool, she’s what keeps me going” like… a reverse fridge
