“His mind took in the shell of her ear, the hair tucked behind it, that rapid pulse fluttering in her throat. Alive, alive, alive. It isn’t easy for me either.

He looped the bandage around again. The barest touches. Unavoidable. Shoulder, clavicle, once her knee. The water rose around him. He secured the knot. Step back. He did not step back. He stood there, hearing his own breath, hers, the rhythm of them alone in this room.” -Crooked Kingdom, Ch. 26

For the purpose of this poll, books in the same world but not Directly sequels count. If they're grouped on Goodreads, it counts. So like, Percy Jackson but also Magnus Chase count as the same series.

No one owes artists anything.

But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

This is legitimately one of my fav quotes from him

Osha saying we have to go back when she and Yord are returning to the ship on Khofar after hearing Mae call to her in the Force and when she woke up on Sol's ship as a child she says they have to to back too, and Mae was looking for her at the bunta tree so I think Osha could sense Mae was alive but she just didn't realize at the time

i love truck stops in winter bc i love a little good old fashioned reconnaissance. i’m at a wyoming truck stop eating taco bell with a bunch of random truckers discussing road conditions like we’re in a high fantasy tavern & inn and we’re warning each other about monsters and highway men. everyone talking about where we’re coming from and going to and how bad it’ll be getting there.

THE tallest man i’ve ever seen in real life just stopped me in the hallway by the coin operated laundry apropos of nothing and asked “which direction are you going?” i said east and he said “good” and walked away.

i caught up with him and asked why and he said “west’s no good right now. i just came from there.”

apparently a truck jackknifed and has traffic backed up ten miles but he sounded for all the world like he just found his village raised to the ground by an evil mage’s army

To people with glasses, are your glasses a color other than black?

I'm curious because I'm pretty sure I'm an outlier (my mom's a librarian so we went very often when I was younger) but I want to know if that's true.

I knooooow the whole series is a political manifesto wrapped in an allegory but reading it as a story about individuals, katniss is so fucking funny bc she's like "idk if im actually into peeta :/ im so bad at acting like it" and then when she's at school for four years she watches peeta and every time she's frightened she holds onto peeta and whenever she's not sure what to do in a situation she just kisses peeta and whenever she can't articulate her thoughts she wishes for peeta bc she knows he would Get It and when she breaks down and can't perform it's bc the capitol is torturing peeta and when they rescue him from the capitol she goes "omg im gonna get to kiss peeta" and then as soon as she's not being forced to marry peeta she goes and does what? marries peeta. like girl okay.....
