sometimes a travelling party is just a sad dude who hears voices in his head, a guy with one arm who won't stop making oaths, a cranky old god, a giant mad tortoise and a severed talking head they keep in a jar
thinking about evervale raising a toast to immortality and being remembered forever, and tristancallum toasting to the fragility of mortality and the inevitable descent into chaos and dust, and the greek class raising their glasses — camilla saying, “to live,” though she never truly got to, and bunny adding, “to live forever,” though in the end, he didn’t, and neil perry talking about acting, "i could live dozens of great lives. to be or not to be. that is the question! for the first time in my life, i feel completely alive," and then committing s*icide after performing in his first ever play...
Okay, I might be pulling this out of my ass but since that finals match was in Evermore that means the foxes should have been wearing their white away jerseys. Which means: the final match was a game of chess.
Not only are they wearing white, but they have first serve (Dan won the coin toss), and near the end the Foxes' king (Neil, because this is a battle between Riko and Neil) changes positions with the tower (Matt, a defenseman that towers over most people) creating the illusion of a castling.
And right there at the end, Riko attempts to kill Neil because they're in front of each other, but that's not how kings work. In the time it takes him to take that step, Andrew closes the gap and strikes. Check mate.
Your boyfriend starts mumbling in Latin in his sleep and it scares the hell out of you but upon translation he’s introducing himself, inquiring on the price of grain, attempting to sell dormice, brainstorming silly Saturnalia gift ideas. In his sleep he somehow becomes a 1st century BC plebeian, of modest means but with a pleasant outlook on mundane life.
(The foxes) you better not mess with my gang or you'll be messing with...

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing
had a dream last night that Kaz Brekker joined an acting troupe and was one of the back up dancers in Hamilton and I went to see it and I saw him and was very confused and confronted him about it after the show and was like why aren’t you in your book??? And he looked guilty for a second didn’t answer me then ran away into the night still in his Hamilton outfit
headcanon that andrew is great with kids. they absolutely love him and no one fucking knows why. the first time the foxes notice is at aaron and katelyn’s housewarming party, when their two year old toddler walks up to andrew on shaky legs, clings to the material of his pants and goes, “uncle andrew!” and the foxes (minus neil) all hold their breath when andrew bends down and picks them up like it’s all he does every day, with a blank face. and no one can pretend that the kid just confused andrew and aaron, because they follow andrew around for the rest of the day, literally glued to his shoes and fascinated by everything he does, screaming “uncle andrew!”
and everyone is like ‘okay, so maybe it’s a one time thing and because andrew looks like the kid’s father’, until the same thing happens with erik and nicky’s adopted kid and later with kevin and thea’s daughter
ready for Valentine's Day 💘
