portuguese and spanish are like siblings. italian their cousin. romanian is the cousin everyone forgets about. french is the freak cousin, there's something wrong with them
Ok but imagine Elain and Lucien arguing about the bond and Lucien blurts out something like "I'm sorry the Cauldron gave you a mate who's so disfigured you can barely bring yourself to look at me" or something like that and Elain just pauses in utter shock because that is the exact opposite of why she can't look him in the eyes.
The truth is, he's so devastatingly handsome that she can't bring herself to look at him fully without blushing. And the thought that he could ever find himself unworthy of her nearly brings her to tears.
If anyone knows of any fics like this PLEASE let me know.
I want Elain to have the privilege of experiencing the Lucien that Feyre knew.
The snarky, charming, silver-tongued gentleman.
The cutie with the braying laugh who takes it a step too far and gets thrown into the water by his friends.
The one who thoroughly puts the idea of "dallying" in your head.
The one who holds you, murmuring and stroking your hair in the middle of the night when you wake him up needing comfort.
The one who will both speak his mind but still hold you close so you won't freeze.
The one who will put his body between you and someone believed to be a savage killer while the high lord he serves drops to his knees in surrender to said killer.
The one who's simultaneously unpredictable with the best self-control.
The one who ties his hair back and catches fish with his bare hands.
The one with fire in his blood in more ways than one.
The one everyone underestimates but will eventually regret doing so.
Just thinking about Nesta Archeron, Lady Death, the one who the Dread Trove answers to, who regularly pisses off Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court, and how even after the power she sacrificed to save Feyre (and by extension, Rhys) and Nyx, she’s still a character who’s generally regarded as possessing untapped power.
Thinking about the eight-pointed star and the comparison made explicitly by Bryce in HOFAS.
Thinking about all the times Nesta has been referred to as a “Queen” and how in ACOSF, so much of her memories revolved around her mother and how Nesta was raised to be royalty and a Queen.
Thinking about how there hasn’t been a High King in a long time amongst the courts.
Thinking about how canonically, the Inner Circle all possess a healthy caution/fear of Nesta, even Amren.
Thinking about how, even as Nesta grows and changes as a person, she will not bow to Rhys just because she lives in his court. How she unapologetically questions him and defies him in a way that infuriates him.
Thinking about how Nesta’s story can’t possibly be over yet because wtf, her story should not end with a man (no hate to Cassian, love him).
Thinking about the fact that in HOFAS, before Nesta and Cassian are together, Rhys starts putting Cassian in more diplomatic roles.
Yes, hello, welcome to my crack theory about how Nesta will become High Queen and Cassian her king. In this essay I will—
“Wanna make a monster? Take the parts of yourself that make you uncomfortable—your weaknesses, bad thoughts, vanities, and hungers—and pretend they’re across the room. It’s too ugly to be human. It’s too ugly to be you. Children are afraid of the dark because they have nothing real to work with. Adults are afraid of themselves.”
I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
