I have been waiting for the Cole and Rust ship from Clown in a Cornfield to take off since I first read the first book 5 fucking years ago, the fandom for this series has been crickets. Now the movie might finally make it happen!! YES! Finally! Bring on the fanfics and fanart, I've been waiting for YEARS!

Finals week is officially starting tomorrow and I’m about ready to pull a Jesper Fahey(drop out and marry rich)

[starswritewhispers]

nina’s first thought about matthias being “he looks like a painting” before remembering he might kill her

🤝🏼

wylan’s first thought about jesper being “this boy had the most perfectly shaped lips he’d ever seen” before realizing he might have been sent to kill him

inej and kaz having issues with touch due to trauma. kaz and wylan drowning and being reborn in the ketterdam harbor. wylan and jesper feeling like they have to hide a part of themselves due to their fathers. jesper and nina being grisha with addictions. nina and matthias being raised as a weapon rather than a human. matthias and inej being deeply religious. inej and wylan making themselves smaller because of the abuse they suffered. wylan and matthias being forced into a life of crime. matthias and kaz losing their parents and siblings. kaz and jesper being thrown into the barrel because of reckless behavior involving money. jesper and matthias being taught from childhood to be afraid of grisha power. all of these characters being so different yet so similar and forever interconnected with each other because they know that no one else will understand

Jesper, who could've easily be written off as a typical side character comedic relief, was in fact given proper depth, character arc, background, and emotional growth as a character means so much to me. Jesper who could've been just "Kaz's right handed man" was instead writen as a poc queer ADHD teenager, who has a father who isn't really sure what to do with him but loves him despite. Jesper, who could've easily been paved away for Inej to enter as Kaz's love interest (or could've easily turned into a love triangle) gets to be happy with his own love of his life, who has may things to care for other than his social circle and in the end tries to fix every wrong he had ever done. I love jesper sm i love his character i love the way he was written and i will not stand any jesper slander.

I WILL NOT REST BEFORE I GET A SIX OF CROWS SERIES IN ARCANE ANIMATION WHO ARE WITH ME

[starswritewhispers]

Thinking about the inherent romance of Jesper guiding Genya in recreating Wylan's face. The fact that he's able to say "this is a face that I loved so much, and so instantly, that I'm able to recite its details from memory despite not having seen it for weeks". WHO DOES THAT.

[starswritewhispers]

me five shots deep: no, no, you don't understand. the point is all the main couples mirror each other. nina and matthias are child soldiers loyal to their country above almost everything else. jesper and wylan have low self esteems, fathers deeply important to the narrative, and are fundamentally mommas' boys. and kaz and inej-

the person trying to fuck me at the bar, nodding: -are the two deadliest people in the barrel and they can't even touch each other without keeling over.

me: exactly! and one more thing-

Good-bye, Maysilee Donner,

who I loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. Not as a sweetheart or even a friend. A sister, I'd said.

Something that I think is important about Wyatt as a character is how he highlights the stupidity of the district system. I know that the human love of sorting ourselves into categories meant that every YA series for a while had a bunch of different groups with associated traits that tweens could take uquizzes about, but The Hunger Games isn't like Divergent or Harry Potter where young adults get grouped based on their personalities. Sure, the districts all have industries they're known for and the tributes are clearly shaped by wherever they grew up, but being born into District Four doesn't actually mean that you'll like fish. Wyatt is brilliant when it comes to numbers, but in District Twelve he can only channel that into gambling. Imagine if he'd been born into District Three with a father like Beetee, what he could have done with his mathematical talents. There's mention of it with Maysilee too, how she doesn't want to run the candy store but her options are that or the mines.

I guess what I'm saying is that the district system is great for keeping people oppressed because they see their fellows as "other," which is why it is a tool of fascism and not a practical way to run a society. It doesn't matter who is in what group, it matters that they internalize their group identity to the point that they ignore the similarities between them.

booktok pisses me all the way off because “it’s just fiction”. the man that strangled and stalked me tried to claim he thought i would like it because i “read” and those books are popular.

abusive relationships aren’t cute, maybe stop romanticizing them.
