Sure sure romantic pairings are fine and all. But more people should perhaps consider two characters loving each other to the point of incomprehensibility. To the point that there is no simpler way in english to define or describe it than just to say those characters’ names together, joined eternally by the vague conjunction ‘and’. There’s so many types of love and dependencies and emotions in general thrown in there that you can’t tell what colors they are anymore, they’ve just joined into a giant blobby mess that’s almost black, but when you look closer glistens with more colors than there are names for. Just a thought
a specific detail i love in stories is when two characters who share a deep understanding of each other nevertheless only addresses each other by their title or last name, which somehow makes it even more intimate than if they were to just call each other by their first names. it’s about the veil of propriety, the false detachment and imposed distance, it’s about the restraint, the high esteem held in each other, the meeting-each-other-at-the-boundary-and-stop-before-crossing-it, making it even clearer they both KNOW where it is; all at once both full of yearning and of fond contentment
reading mistborn for the first time and I refuse to believe Kelsier is dead simply because he’s too annoying to die

i was thinking about it and although esra does travel back to '41 successfully (albeit a little later than intended) and is reunited with halit, 1979!halit never sees esra again.
he says that "let's hope we succeed this time" but really he means "you"... bc sure esra may go back in time and reunite with halit but this version of him is just going to have this one day with her bc she's not coming back to the 70s.
so when he's closing that hotel room door behind him, halit is walking away from her forever — forced to go on living knowing she's gone to a different time with a different halit on a different path.
these scenes with '79 halit just keep pulling me in bc selahattin did such a phenomenal job here communicating the THIRTY-EIGHT years halit has spent alone, in this hellscape of a timeline. you can just see it in his eyes, what he has had to do, what he's felt, how he's survived purely to do the right thing...with some distant hope that he will see esra again

Kevin Day isn't actually a coward, Neil and Andrew just have very different ideas of what it means to be brave. Kevin is a survivor. He spent most of his formative years walking a middle ground of being useful but not so much that he showed riko up. He had every reason to be afraid of riko. He was the only one that truly understood what riko was capable of aside from Jean. Neil and Andrew are fighters, they are all or nothing types, they don't understand how someone could walk a middle ground just for something that resembles safety when they fought so hard to not give in to threats until it threatened someone they care about and almost killed themselves in the process. Kevin didn't even know he was ALLOWED to fight back because that was never an option. Leaving the only life he's ever known was so much braver than anyone gives him credit for. It isn't until he has something to fight for and is given permission (not just by the moriyama's and Neil but by himself) to be his own person for the first time that he is able to defy his abusers.
It's not cowardly to do what you can to stay safe. Not everyone has Andrew and Neil's blatant disregard for their own personal safety. Being afraid of pain and death is perfectly reasonable.
if i bring a book someplace it doesn't necessarily mean i want to read it mayb i just want to take her on a walk. Get her some fresh air and a change of scenery
Kevin Day is such a tragic character because he devoted his life to a sport, was seen as a prodigy and gifted exy player but was betrayed by the person he saw as his family, his brother and then became a anxious wreck and an alcoholic, just to be told he could never play again because his brother shattered his dominant hand.
