My only way of survival right now is to romanticize my 500+ history assignments and pretend I’m in a dark academia library, studying to save the world

Jude Duarte, High Queen of Elfhame

an ambitious mortal who aspired to lengths beyond her reach, and who grasped it within her hands through all means necessary.

“The odd thing about ambition is this: You can acquire it like a fever, but it is not so easy to shed.” ― The Cruel Prince, Holly Black

a.n /// remember the last time i said i was going to post regularly from now on?? lmaoo me neither - studies have been all over the place so I haven’t had time to post at ALL nor to take a breather. I’ve returned since I’m procrastinating right now, so I’ll aim at getting a post out once or twice every two weeks. Maybe I’ll make some in advance... To all who stayed with me this far, thank you!! I truly appreciate your support <3

hOLY DAMN, I did NOT expect this blog to blow up so fast, we got to a 100 followers! Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate it. This blog only started because I needed an outlet for my dark royalcore obsession, so it’s great to see others enjoy me obsessing over it too. 

So sorry for not updating recently, lots of stuff happened and I couldn’t get out of my slump, but I’m backkk. Which means more dark royalcore bought to you!

“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.”

I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?”

He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”

// since it seems like you all love these posts, here’s another, which is one of my favorites! quick question: what other fandoms would you like to see included in this blog? and would you all be down for some music playlists recs?

“Tell me again what you said at the revel,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine. “What?” I can barely think. “That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.” “I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over. A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.” He kisses me harder. “I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes I can’t think of anything else.”

- Holly Black, The Wicked King

I'm just saying. My inbox is open and I've never gotten an anonymous love letter that threatens to outwit me in a game of intellect that inevitably results in me falling in love with the sender, but... y'know. Just saying.

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.

“No” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”

"I can't.”

The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.

Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard

He looks like a faerie lover stepped out of a ballad, the kind where no good comes to the girl who runs away with him.

I like for things to happen, for stories to unfold. And if I can’t find a good enough story, I make one.

I want revenge, and then I want my crown.
