rf kuang always has two characters who are like orbiting each other, twin planets, can’t live without each other can’t live with each other, she loves tragic death of complicated friendships. ramy and robin, rin and kitay, even june and athena. everyone dies. but what i like about her tragedies is there’s always a third. always another component, important and surviving. nezha and victoire. not a happy ending, but one that leaves you with an ache in your chest and a hope for the future, that the sacrifice and death did in the end have a point.
the dichotomy of reading billionaire romances and watching shameless

“And remember: the sky is the limit! You can be anything you want to be!”
“Thank you. I want to be a secretary.”
That stopped them short. “What?”
“A secretary,” she repeated.
“But…” they trailed off, dumbfounded. “Why? You could be a CEO, a scientist, a law–”
“I don’t want to be a CEO,” she said. “I want to be a secretary.”
Swift as a coursing river
With all the force of a great typhoon
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Get yourself a person who doesn't feel insecure about you being very busy and doesn't feel scared about you having teeth and instead asks you to be their shark, who loves you enough to not convince you for a life you need to compromise for and instead urges you to live your dreams.
Juliette Cai x Jude Duarte headcanons
Them comparing their knives and daggers and giving each other advice on how to be better at murdering people.
Juliette giving Jude fashion advice because Juliette's outfits are on point🤌🏻
Jude telling Juliette how to better hide a dead body
They both would definitely talk about their husbands and the stupid things they have done
Juliette: I once held Roma to knifepoint.
Jude: Weak! I held Cardan to knifepoint and then proceeded to make out with him.
Juliette: I faked the death of Roma's bestfriend to save the city
Jude: I straight up killed Cardan's best friend and hid his body in my murderer step-dad's estate.
Jude: Cardan threw me in the river because he didn't know how to handle a crush
Juliette: Roma shot at me in a theater full of people and then hurt himself in the process. I had to save myself and bandage up the idiot🤦🏻♀️
Jude: Gurll?? Are you sure he is the one?
Jude: Cardan has a tail!!
Juliette: No way! Does it wag when he gets excited to see you?
And Roma and Cardan would be standing in the corner looking at their wives in awe and being utterly grateful that these godesses haven't left them.
Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.
A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.
