so i finally finished the book 1 novelization. after owning it for 3 years. .............................................i've been busy. anyway, let the thoughts commence!
also i only started marking sections at like ep 5 don't ask why
even CLAUDIA could tell that rayla was a cinnamon roll
stop she's incredible
a) he's a dork b) i think they should kiss
"this freckle-faced goof [gren] was going to be the easiest prisoner he'd ever encountered." is he right? yes. am i still taking offense to this? yes
"'i didn't kill anyone,' Rayla said. it surprised her that she was so proud of this fact." YAS YOU GO GIRL
these additional details are incredibly necessary thank you so much Book
"Viren blinked twice, amazed at the folly of his own offspring." i know that it's incredibly sad but goddamn that is so funny
STOPPPPPPPP I CANT 😭 the use of the word "adored" no one fucking talk to me
them
"Rayla and Callum didn't know how easy they had it, what with their long legs and no heavy dragon egg on their backs."
the way that even back then ez was already thinking like a king, even when the subject was so "not of a king's concern," for lack of a better term (why am i rhyming)
what can i even say about this oh my god
"'no, not really, dummy.' sometimes, Rayla could barely believe the denseness she had to put up with."
god i love him god i love him i l obe him i love him i love hiom oi love hiojm and everybody clapped
sometimes these slight dialogue changes mean the world to me
his autistic ass 😭
"he turned and spoke only to her." i am dying
"i've always been different. it's hard for me to make friends with other kids. i just feel like i don't fit in." -> "i've always been different. i don't really 'get' other kids, and it's... so hard for me to fit in." this is AUTISTIC CODING he has AUTISM that is IT we have autistic claudia try and tell me that this child does have the tism and that they don't fucking know that
LMAO LITERALLY KICKING ROCKS HE'S SUCH A PISSBABY I LOVE IT
this is Everything to me. i. a moment of all time. behead me
i think they should kiss pt 2
STOP THEY CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS TO ME THE SIBLINGS OF ALL TIME ISTG
"Callum lingered" "for some reason, she wanted to share what she had seen with Callum, even is she didn't tell anyone else" i. think. they. should. kiss.
"Callum glared at his brother. there was a ginormous spider in their way. many things about this situation weren't right."
SHUT UP WHAT DO I EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS. OH YOURE TELLING ME THAT RAYLA IS IN A WHOLE NOTHER CLASS FROM ELLIS AND AVA?? THAT SHE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A "FRIEND"??? BOTH IS THE SENSE THAT HE IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HER AND THAT HE JUST GENERALLY MEANS MORE TO HIM????? IM THEOWING U _P (hey guys i think they should kiss)
shut the fuck up. buddy. i am gagged
oh Him
damn girl's always had a problem with Layla 💀
dear christ. the matter of fact "no, this is not your fault" (4x06 "Rayla. don't."), "he couldn't let Rayla carry that burden alone" (5x04, anybody?) also i am 100% reading way too far into this but it's still callum's pov so he is the one who described her "violet eyes" and i just would like to state this for the record
and oh yeah i think they should kiss

I love how real your characters feel. They’ve got their own hopes, dreams, fears, traumas, needs, wants and boundaries, and they also have their own pasts and their different ways of navigating their presents, and I just really, really like that.
I can’t remember the last time I experienced an IF where I’ve been like, wow, I can’t wait for these characters to grow to trust and open up to MC so I can learn more about them. We get to discover who they are, piece by piece, through their actions and what they say (and what they don’t), and I just think that’s a real joy and a privilege.
It’s late here, so I’ve run out of words a little, but I’ll just leave this last gush here: The Deep and post-Deep sequences have really stuck with me.
Thanks for sharing the Night Market with us, and for showing us around. I think I’ll stay a spell, if that’s okay? <3
I have always really enjoyed stories where you have to discover who the characters are. One of the things I like doing, is creating characters, and then tossing them into different scenarios because based on their backstories or what they've gone through, they're all going to react differently. I also think that its important that we have characters that are well loved, that may react bad to situations. Because in life, we all do that. We all tend to make rash or bad decisions sometimes but that doesn't mean the people around us just drop us (or at least they shouldn't).
I think that's really interesting too that you have such a connection to the Deep. That was the one chapter that I struggled with the most and the one that I still look at and angrily think I could do better. But, you are not the only one to love that moment. Though, I do think that was such a turning point for MC and for the story itself.
Thank you so much for your kind words. And yes, stay a spell. I would love that.
