“a life can be ruined in a single moment, a moment of betrayal, or violence, or ill luck, then why can a life not also be saved, be worth living, be made, by just a few pure moments of perfection?” -Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick

“I think the power of books is that - that they teach us to care about others. It's a power that gives people courage and also supports them in turn. [. . .] Empathy - that's the power of books.” -- The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa

“I am made of memories.” - The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller ❤️

Yep, I read it again for the nth time… ☺️

[nekokatreads]

What a great book... it broke me, put me back together and then broke me again.... 😭😭😭

Rufus and Mateo are so well written (especially Mateo is too good for the world). The story is heart breaking and the side characters are great!

They both die at the end made me cry and left me emotionally exhausted on a new level but I loved every second of it! 😍😍😍😍

So I had to made this little fanart / alternative book cover thingy with Rufus and Mateo and I hope you guys like it as well ☺☺☺☺

Thank you @adamsilvera for making this book😍

Tap for better quality.

Day 10 - Pick

I helped Simon pick out a sofa today. (...) Was this the best day of my life? I'm nearly certain.

– Any Way The Wind Blows, @rainbowrowell

Headcanoning hard on this one, but I figure they'd pick out a sofa like the Vimle, which has a low back so Simon can drape his wings behind it comfortably. This would naturally entail them needing to test his wings out by Baz casting a nothing to see here and Simon half-stripping on the Ikea showroom floor.

Am I the only one who literally failed to function after hearing Remember Me being sang in Young Royals!? That Skam France Elu feels just…. Wow.

Pilatus - Switzerland (by Hans Permana) 

[nekokatreads]

“You can’t just give up on this. On me. Don’t you know what we have? It’s the sort of thing people dream about. They make potions to steal it.”

- Any Way the Wind Blows by @rainbowrowell

Please don’t be mad at me, y’all. I just found the entire blocking of this scene so powerfully gut-wrenching, I had to get it out of my system before I moved onto anything happy. From the wand held between them to the fallen wings to Baz’s desperation and Simon’s resistance, every sentence felt designed to run us through, and I totally dug it.

Sunlight/Golden Hour Snowbaz Aesthetic for @tyrannusbasiltonbicth

“The sun is burning me! I might actually catch fire, at any moment!” The wind is blowing Simon’s hair straight, and he’s squinting—from the sun and from all the smiling. “What!” he shouts at me again. “You’re so beautiful!” I shout back. He turns the radio down, so now there’s just the wind and the engine noise to shout over. “What’d you say?!” “Nothing!” ― Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

–>ask me to make an aesthetic!
