Request For Book 3:

all i want in book 3 is at least one moment where this is their dynamic

Hi, I made a very niche meme.

I really need a novella or else it was a horrible ending that I will proceed to ignore. *eyeroll*

The Potential Life of Addie Larue

(And How It Was Thwarted By The Final Chapter)

If you haven’t already read this post by @bluebellss1 I would highly recommend reading that first because it was what inspired this one (I was going to reblog and add on to the original post, but my own interpretation got so long I thought it might be easier to make a new one 🙈).

I love everything about the above mentioned post. And while I’m not a huge fan of shipping characters based off of themes/motifs (I’d rather ship them based on in-text evidence), I’ll admit there’s something that should have been super satisfying about Addie/Luc, but that the ending of TILOAL failed to provide for its characters and readers.

As bluebellss said, Addie represents the stars, and the symbolism for this is not at all subtle. The recurring phrase “a constellation of stars” in reference to Addie is evidence enough, and I believe Schwab even described Addie as a “girl made of stars” in an Instagram post before the book was released.

We know Luc is the night/darkness. We’re told this point blank, time and time again throughout the book. 

So when is the only time we ever truly see stars? At night. And what is darkness if we don’t have light to compare it to? Nothing.

im kinda a bit obsessed with how Alex cares so deeply about Darlington, is desperate to get him out of hell, but it's the same sort of loyalty she has for the rest of her tribe. she'd go just as hard for Dawes, for example. she's clearly attracted to Darlington, but can't let herself believe in a world where she loves him because she's too much of a mess.

Darlington, on the other hand, just wants to fuck her so badly.

I love this man.

Omg not ben saying he's the one who also improvised the "are you sure" I??? Lmfaoooo the way he's carrying darklina on his back if it wasn't for him I'm sure we wouldn't have gotten most of the little things we love about them love that for us but also it just makes me even more convinced that they had and have no intention of further developing darklina and although he's going to be doing the most, actors can only do so much in the end it's the writers who have 99% of the creative control so it's a loosing game when the creator hates your characters' and ships guts

God did he also improvise that??? Ben will not rest until he adds verbal consent to all of his sex scenes even if he’s a villain. Bastard does it with Billy Russo too. Someone stop him (but don’t, I love it).

Ben actually has a pretty large amount of creative control over the Darkling it seems. He was able to get book lines in there, clearly they let him do a lot of improvisations. He got to expand on the character’s emotions a lot. So I’m pretty sure he’ll keep fighting for the Darkling’s humanity until the very end and I love him for it

You don't need to feel so much shame all the time. You're allowed to struggle, you're allowed to take breaks, you're allowed to be kind to yourself. Let yourself be <3.

The amount of anger inside me is wild for someone who only wants to give and receive love

been thinkin about this lately and i think i want a small life. not a BAD life n not an ISOLATED life n not a CLOSED life but just. small. with defined boundaries. i want a job that will sustain me that doesn't require exhaustion to survive. i want a place to live that's big enough for me to choose every part of it; just enough shelf for mugs i love, just enough cabinet for a neat set of paints, just enough closet for clothes i actually like wearing not just ones i tolerate. i want to do little routines and make small batches of things and be a regular somewhere. i just want to have something contained and clear that's mine, mine, mine
