Just finished: Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward

My thoughts:

I wasn't happy about the dynamics of the relationship between John and Xhex - there are so many unsaid things, so many problems they could have solved faster with just a good long talk.

I was really happy about the women taking part in the fights. ⚔️

Apart from that, it was good, that the Old Laws became a problem once more with Quinn's bloodline not being fit to qualify him as a Brother. So step by step they are going to be updated. And Quinn as a Brother?? Awww.

I just love Lassiter and I really hope, that the future stories will tell us a bit more about his former relationship with the Brotherhood and his lost love. It's also refreshing to read about a character, who isn't constantly in love with someone or having sex all the time.

I'm rooting for Tohr and No'One and him giving her a new name? Very cute.

I didn't like the whole problem with Wellsie in the other realm, though. Yes, there had to be a solution to Tohr's death wish and I'm happy for him, but he hadn't had a choice, he had to start a new relationship in order to save his former wife. Trying to live with all the grief and being okay with it? Hell yes. But constant pressure and fear shouldn't force you to be happy, healthy and in love.

Oh, and when did Beth learn the Old Language?? When Wrath made his statement in the hospital after he was shot (that Tohr was allowed to kill Xcor), she seemed to understand everything and said yes + that she had witnessed it.

[wyrmsgatebait]

Astarion’s reaction to Tav suggesting he might be aging has been rattling around in my head, and it’s got me thinking angsty little thoughts about how cruelly he might’ve been to a human lover in the past. Relationships between elves and shorter lived races require so much compassion and maturity and Astarion...doesn’t have any of that. He was the sort to become smitten with a beautiful young human and let the relationship drag on for far far too long. Oh he would say sweet things in their  ear during party’s and spend a small fortune on jewels that would compliment their skin and the season, but the doting was purely selfish. Astarion wanted a blushing beauty on his arm the same way he wanted an ermine coat. It was nice to own but it was even nicer to drink up the envy of everyone who did not.

And he drank deep for as long as he could, but his human’s beauty withered away little by little. They poured decades worth of their heart into him only to see Astarion’s lips curl in disgust when the lines around their eyes crinkle. To the human he was their whole world, but a few decades is hardly a fling to a high elf. Really he was a saint staying with them until their 40th nameday...or just about...but it was well past time for a change. He wouldn’t keep roses in his foyer after they’d begun to rot so why would he use less discernment with his choice in bedfellows. There were tears, of course, accompanying insults and accusations of being a heartless curr. It might’ve moved him if the face those tears sprang from wasn’t so unpleasant, but instead he just shooed them from the estate and busied himself with preparations to meet his next potential paramour later that evening.  ... He never made it.  Cazador practically had to scrape him off the cobblestone to force the blood down his throat. Afterwards, the idea of being loved...of being looked at with kindness becomes laughable. Now his lot in life is doing his master’s bidding and hoping he’ll be allowed to suck rotten ichor from vermin. Through all the torment his face remains untouched by the centuries.

SONG JOONG-KI, PARK HYUK-KWON AND TIFFANY YOUNG REBORN RICH / 재벌집 막내아들 | EP 6

[darkangelofmists]

“You could lose the ones you loved in the blink of an eye—and he was willing to bet, when it happened, you weren’t thinking about all the reasons that could have kept you apart. You thought of all the reasons that kept you together.

And, no doubt, how you wished you’d had more time. Even if you’d had centuries…

When you were young, you thought time was a burden, something to be discharged as fast as possible so you could be grown-up. But it was such a bait-n-switch—when you were an adult, you came to realize that minutes and hours were the single most precious thing you had.

No one got forever. And it was a fucking crime to waste what you were given.”

― J.R. Ward, Lover Reborn

Don't you think it's high time Song Joong Ki and Lee Joon Gi did a show together.

Imagine the visuals. Imagine the acting. Imagine if they both faced off...

It would be perfection.❤️‍🔥🤌

[dark-elf-writes]

OH OKAY

I’m not crying you are 😭😭😭😭😭

But like hear me out they really set it up though.

If this series wasn’t so allergic to anyone showing each other honest open affection we could have got a quiet moment between Dino and Tsuna where Tsuna asks why Dino changed his mind and chose to become the boss. We could have gotten Dino being able to be his best around Tsuna because that is his little brother and by god was Dino going to protect him. We could have gotten Dino finding Tsuna passed out on his homework and smiling gently before covering him with his coat. We could have got SO MUCH SIBLING CONTENT
