Are you in love with me? Have you been in love with me? Will you be in love with me?
filmmakers and audiences and critics alike all need to start suspending their disbelief again
Gotta love how Darlington went from being called the golden boy of Lethe to gentleman demon to Alex's demon boyfriend to Alex's demon consort
(oh and even better, the last two with no argument at all from Alex)
Request for book 3:
I need (need) a scene where Darlington is playing one of the six stupid instruments he knows how to play and Alex finds him and is struck stupid by how hot he is (again). Extra points if he does it in his sweatpants, shirtless, with that open dressing gown.
Also Leigh mentions things like he knows fencing, acrobatics, and plays so many musical instruments and doesn't show us??? Jail.
i have this silent awe and appreciation for experience and wisdom that comes with time. when monotony and redundancy turn into a craft, when the amateur turns into an expert, when it becomes effortless to others. but there is practice hidden underneath it all. years of it. it is how my father can measure distances without any instruments because he has been an engineer for so long and his kids watch him do it in awe. it is how i know just the correct amount of milk and sugar when i make coffee for the people i love and they think it to be alchemy. it is the combination of efficiency and knowledge that only time can bring. gifted talents are great, but a time-honed talent is labor and repetition. you claim it as your own because time has made it yours, time has etched it like a schoolkid etches their initials on the desk over a period of time
Is it just me or would Corey Mylchreest make a nice Darlington? Tell me these pictures don't give moody/angry smart potentially fancy boy ✨
my besties guilt & grief
I really hope this reblog doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, but I get so sensitive with those quotes and I really want it to be endgame. She misses him and wanted to look nice for the ritual.
alex's internal monologue is like *darlington* *come back* *forgive me* *i forgive you* *darlington come back* *i miss my boyfriend*
Me: given Alex's past experiences it's appropriate and healthy that her and Darlington's relationship focuses on trust and emotional intimacy before diving into physical intimacy, and restraint also represents Darlington fighting for his human nature over his demon nature, etc
Also me: Let 👏 them 👏 kiss 👏
