i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

In cities where the stones whisper Latin and the fog never forgets, one does not walk — one wanders through dead ideas that still breathe.

I've never been as conflicted about a book as I am about case file compendium

Unreliable narrators are one hell of an idea. You can just write whatever, and if a reader points out "hey the way this scene happened should not be physically possible if it's done the way this character described it", you can just be like "yeah I don't trust that fucker either."

"So there you were, and, of course, you had to be the most glorious thing I’d ever seen. Like there was a spotlight on you. There he is,"

Jiang Cheng whenever Wei Wuxian is on Lotus Pier: why the fuck would you show your face here. I'll KILL you for this disrespect

Jiang Cheng whenever Wei Wuxian is anywhere but Lotus Pier: *unshed tears in his eyes. Kicking the ground as he speaks* I guess you don't like Lotus Pier anymore
