#Shades of Magic

[scribeoffate]

Today in Rhy Maresh headcanons: Rhy reads really risqué romance novels in multiple languages and takes great delight in explaining them in lurid detail to Alucard, Kell and Nadiya. Each of them reacts so differently, though his brother and husband are always the most flustered. He tried this with Lila once but she’d just gone: “that’s boring, let’s go do something fun.” And since fun activities with Lila *also* tend to leave Kell and Alucard flustered, it was a win/win. (Nadiya tends to poke holes in the plot and characterization and he spends time wondering she might think of some the grammar in these books. It’s probably worth it to teach her archaic Veskan just to find out.)

#Shooting their shot

[kazz-brekker]

kell and lila in adsom: talking about how holland is terrible and a dangerous murderer and must be stopped and they'll kill him if necessary.

me, who has previously read the other books in this series and am therefore attached to him: free my man he did all that but he was being magically enslaved by a pair of evil wizard twins and i don't hold him accountable for any of it!

Me when a V.E. Schwab character exists: Now that's a character. That's a CHARACTER. THAT'S A CHARACTER.

I could spend the rest of my life reading V.E. Schwab

kell probably thought this after the essen tasch

everyone knows that the best romances begin by robbing a magician, tying him to your bed, and abusing his evil mystery rock 🙄🪨

[derangedthoughtssideblog]

the struggle between wanting a tv show of your favourite books so you can watch edits of your favourite characters and the knowledge that if the actors don't look exactly like the characters in your mind you're going to kill everyone in that show and yourself

kell maresh fanart sucks bc he always looks so fierce as if the man isnt described w a permanent crease in his brow for 4 books. he is the most concerned, bothered, worried man to walk four londons, he has never known a moment of peace, stop making him look too-cool-for-school when he is always on the verge of martyrdom or a panic attack or both!
