I think the reason why I was never able to go through with Solas’s romance is twofold:

1) I related way too much to Lavellan through it and knew it would wreck me in not a good way if I didn’t get out of it.

2) It is the worst kind of love. It’s not requited love nor unrequited love, it’s the love in between and it is the hardest love to move past. The not quite, the what if, the “I touched but didn’t grasp”, the almost kind of love. It eats away at your insides, consuming you because you know you didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, you did everything right and they still chose to walk away. It’s the love that leaves you questioning: Why wasn’t I enough?

It’s the love that destroys you.

I continue to think the funniest thing in Hetalia was Roderich telling Ludwig marriage is the solution to everything.

Like imagine you’re 19 going through the hardest time in your life so far, and your 5 times divorced gold digger uncle tells you to forget any logical solution and get married instead. Sign a prenup that’s heavily in your favor while you are at it.

I think that rather Alfred and Matthew are twins or not, they somehow have this twin telepathy. Like one single glance at each other and they both know exactly what’s going on in the other’s head like:

So…I started reading A Court of Thorns and Roses. TikTok made me buy it, and I was determined to find out what all of the hype is about.

Over the course of just a few hours, I’ve already read half of the book and decided to order the rest of the series from Target.

I am happy to live in a world in which we can shamelessly read faerie smut. 😏😂

Have you guys seen the viral videos of the woman on TikTok who’s reading the Harry Potter books and watching the movies for the very first time? She’s on Prisoner of Azkaban now and said at one point, “I don’t know how to feel about Snape.” And everyone’s losing their minds in the comments and screaming “DON’T TELL HER!” 😂

I wish I could experience the emotional rollercoaster of reading the series for the first time again. If she was shocked about the plot twist involving Scabbers just wait until she gets to the Half Blood Prince.

the way i see it, alfred is both the black sheep of his family and the crown prince in arthur's eyes. the disgraceful wretched lad and the golden boy. the son who scorned lord father's ""generosity"" and who remade himself the most in his image (empire, naval power and hegemon, in both the atlantic and the pacific). arthur has no problem seeing it that way. his greatest disappointment and his greatest hope. the one who will help bring down the curtain on the formal british empire, but the one who will also help british imperial power and relevance endure in the postwar afterlife. alfred once said there was noone he hated more than his father, alfred vows he will be nothing like the corrupt old world that arthur springs from, that he is a genuine idealist who sees a better world to be made ahead but—what is pax americana, but the progeny of the british empire? even when clad in noble-sounding goals and american charisma, what is that but the same ruthless ambition that arthur sees, in the sea-blue of alfred's eyes? arthur knows it, everyone else knows it. alfred has his father's hands. he is his father's son.
