you know how i went home from school today all motivated to do literature then i get distracted and spent 2 hours messaging people and another 2 hours using tumblr and another hour staring into space and contemplating life and now i have a shitload of math and literature and mandarin to do. to think i thought ill stop procrastinating because greys anatomy has been taken off netflix... who am i kidding?

the first time i listened to bejeweled and there's this part where it goes "familiarity breeds contempt so don't put in the basement while I'm in the penthouse of your heart"

and then i was doing homework so only half listening and i heard

"familiarity breeds contempt so fuck me in the basement while I'm in the penthouse of your heart" and i was like HOLD UP taylor what happened--

there is really compelling, really strong textual evidence for elriel, gwynriel, and elucien. there is foreshadowing for each of them. can y’all stop bullying each other about who’s most correct for one second? you’re all right. it’s all there. that’s kind of the point, since sjm is writing a series and has to build suspense to keep sales up. no one is more right. it’s all there. stop fighting and go touch some grass.

Aelin: *smirks*

All I’m saying is Rowan would’ve told Feyre that’s she was going to die due to her pregnancy with no hesitation, during a causal dinner because he was bored.

"and this is for Lidia"

Me manifesting a scene in cc3 where Ruhn beats the shit out of Pollux

Sometimes, you hate the boy sitting next to you so much you want to punch him, but he always manages to make you giggle and never minds letting you copy an assignment. You start to steal secret glaces at him and he’ll flirt back. But at thirteen, you never know if it is real love or not.

“We were only thirteen. It was only english class. I was only the girl you were forced to sit next to because stupid assigned seats, but you talked to me anyway. You'd make smart ass remarks and you'd steal my pencils and you'd ask about my classes and every time I talked to you, you made me feel as if I was in on a secret joke.”

Meredith: It took me a long time to find him. A long time. And even then it took me a long time to even know that I wanted him. To be married, to be his wife, to have his kids. And now when I realized that, he’s lying on the table there and my best friend’s hands are inside his chest.

Best thing I’ve seen this week is a video of Rebecca Yarros talking about how Xaden knew all the filthy thoughts Violet was having about him in Fourth Wing because of his second signet, and that there are several moments in Onyx Storm when he’s like “yeah I remember you thinking that”

What I haven't realized before re-reading ACOMAF is just how soft things had gotten between Rhys and Feyre after the Summer Court. It is described in a very understated way in the book, but it is clearly said that they started to spend time alone practicing Feyre's magic, mind-to-mind but also other things, and that whenver they had to spend time apart, they'd pass notes- and the notes, the notes... It did start flirty, teasingly, snappish, yes, but further along the line we see Rhys just wondering if Feyre could tell him about her love for painting, and she asks him back about his dreams - and they just use this time to wonder about and to get to know each other. And I cannot stress enough how this particular scene made my heart swell - because it shows how they started to get soft around each other. And even before Hewn City, when all is going to shit, and they have to sell out Velaris, it is said that Rhys tells Feyre about the Veritas "over a quiet dinner". And I'm just...

Somewhere in-between, Rhys and Feyre started having quiet dinners, and sharing silence, and wondering about one another, and just growing this sense of shared comfort.

And honestly, it makes the steamy scene in Hewn City look different when you keep that in mind. It's easy to overlook but they did not go from Summer Court jealousy and flirtation to getting intimate, but rather they went from jealousy and a fear of never getting a chance with each other, to getting closer emotionally, getting to know each other - to sharing intimacy and being unable to resist the closeness. And I just love this so much more.
