This was supposed to just be a silly shitpost about how I finally gave my shadow milk good toppings for arena but it very quickly got away from me LMAO

having seen at least the rough outlines of all the romances now I have to say that I think emmrich's is probably objectively the best in terms of coherence and completeness of story arc (with the understanding that ultimately the 'best' romance is whichever one makes YOUR heart sing anyway so objectivity is a silly thing to claim that way, it just felt like it's the arc with the most well-paced focused content and the least dangling threads)... but lucanis' is my favourite haha. just. the whole kneeling before your beloved full of reverence but without any of the distance that usually implies??? his complete undramatic certainty and calm in every scene with rook after this, having spent the whole game caught between fear and longing???? mr. lives in a pantry but it says nothing about my psyche don't worry about it it's purely for tactical reasons that I keep myself contained in a small dark room not entirely unlike a cell, love among the parsnips -- finally coming to rook in their room and it's so comfortable and comforting???? after all the times rook supports and comforts him through the game he's finally able to return the same to them when they need it while being so calm and steady and it's so fucking sweet and feels so effortless and with no price attached?????? he basically assigns himself the role of your bodyguard and he WILL stab a god over it??????????????? the turn to protector (which was in his heart all along longing to get out and find a place) of it all????? he sounds like he's found himself unexpectedly stumbling into such a soul-lightening state of revelatory existential relief, full on 'you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves' mary oliver style, and he goes and he shares that with rook and protectively envelops them in it when they're hurting??????????????????????????? hello for the maker's sake hello can anyone hear me?????

tessa choosing to have mina despite knowing how the story would end for them, despite having been unable to stick around and witness that ending the first time around, has always felt to me like this insane act of bravery, and almost recklessness, on tessa's part. but i was thinking about it and like.. i wonder if it will actually be a bit easier this time around simply because magnus will likely be going through the same thing at a similar time. like he was there for her the first time but.. idk this time they'll get to really be there for each other.

okay so in french baguette means wand/rod and it’s not solely used for bread like in english

but even so seeing red call it his ice baguette makes me cry laugh

[corals-corner]

Every now and then I forget that the main characters in Shadows House are middle schoolers. Like they’re already dealing with cult activity, death, brainwashing, unrequited love, memory wiping, slavery, multiple forms of trauma, abandonment, and probably a lot more but they probably dont know basic algebra yet

who cares if that's his boss let them fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and let them!!!!!! be!!!!!!!! in!!!!!!!!! love!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then Ruhn was there. Starlight flaring. Pushing back against the impossible. Lidia was beside him, crackling with fire. Tharion. Holstrom. Flynn and Dec. A fire sprite, her small body bright with flame. Isaiah and Naomi. So many hands, so many powers, from almost every House.

The friends they'd made were what mattered in the end. Not the enemies. Through love, all is possible.

SL Rag spoilers but anyways it's so funny to me seeing every new monster's reactions when they meet Suho for he first time and he launches his secret attacks.

I turned away from you once, but please help me now. I thought I could do this on my own, but the Riders are closing in. If you will not come for me, come for my boy. I thought I could buy his life with my suffering. I thought if I left him, he would be safe. He is not. Please come. I beg you. Save me. Save my child.

The light winked out. Jen and Tessa were already in motion. In the century and a half they'd known each other, much had changed, but this truth endured: when a Herondale called, they would answer.
