You have made some progress in life when you no longer sleep by keeping an alarm...

thinking about the New Year’s Eve trend where you go under the table (also I always grew up hearing that going under the table will bring you a luck in finding a partner but now I see the trend is to go under the table and eat 12 grapes so now idk what the actual tradition is lol, anyways back to my little thought):

You made sure to have the grapes ready at this year’s NYE, talking excitedly about the man you want to manifest with Nesta…who knows what she’s doing and suggesting traits that tease at Azriel. Cassian thinks it’s hilarious and he is also excited to see if you’ll actually be able to devour all 12 grapes so fast, already placing bets with Feyre.

Meanwhile, Azriel, who is madly crushing on you, watches from his corner of the room. He thinks it’s just all fun and games…this can’t really work, right? I mean, why would it work? There’s no real magic behind this…

But then Mor casually brings up that she had done this one NYE and it brought her, her most memorable fling and she sighs wistfully…panic begins to stir in Azriel.

The clock is ticking…

Azriel’s shadows begin to dance frantically around him, mirroring his inner turmoil as the inner circle prepares to cheer you on.

His eyes widen when you scoop a couple of grapes into your hand because Mother above, you’re actually going to do this and what if it actually works and he never gets a chance to confess…

10…9…8…

Azriel suddenly appears at your side, wings knocking awkwardly against the table, his shoulder bumping yours as he makes himself fit in that small space.

“Az, what are you—“

“I have to tell you something.”

“Right now??”

7…6…

Azriel reaches for your hand, the one that is holding onto a handful of grapes, and lowers it. A confused frown settles on your features and he coaxes your gaze to his with his other hand, eyes searching yours.

“Az—“

5…4…

The hand clutching the handful of grapes twitches in his grip, still determined to complete the tradition.

3…2…

But Azriel tightens his hold and wastes no more time. He leans in, crashing his lips against yours and pulling you into a frantic but sweet kiss.

“Happy new year!”

When he pulls away, your cheeks are flushed and eyes are wide but there’s a smile on your face. “What else do you have to tell me?”

Azriel only grins and says “so much more,” before kissing you again.

And if you look to your left you'll see Rose absolutely dying inside while a dead half-cat sprite version of herself with no inhibitions and a motor mouth flies around hitting on all the ladies.

modern day liebgott is an uber driver who exclusively plays chief keef on his busted out speakers. his car is a 2004 toyota corrolla that smells like cigarette smoke and axe body spray. the rubber is peeling off of two of the doors. the left blinker does not work. a door handle has been mysteriously ripped off and the windows wont roll down. he has ten parking tickets he refuses to pay off and does not care about right of way. if hes delivering your food for uber eats you can count on the fact that he has eaten some of your fries. in spite of all of this he pulls more bitches than all of his friends combined.

Sometimes we forget the clock will stop eventually...

and time's ticking.

I spent almost a solid half hour today researching European and Spanish hierarchy systems for chapter 27 of Spider's Web because if Baron Draxum exists...

OH?? You now what...why is he a baron. Unless that's his actual name. It was never clear. Someone needs to ask ron or something at the next twitter QNA.

The random pivot to research is so real. Super easy to go down rabbit holes. Especially when you feel you NEED to know exactly what you're writing about.

On a crossroad in the west coast,

I stood in the middle and guess I witnessed a couple of ghosts.

I took a glance east,

They're suddenly celebrating by having a feast,

Surprisingly they're not as huge as a cannibal beast,

Or even terrifying like the ocean of the north

Where I jumped and fell deep in its waves because I know their worth.

I sat down and shut my mouth up.

I stopped breathing like I'm sipping coffee from a nasty cup.

I crossed my legs and hands as if I had some skin to rub.

I felt sorrow.

Didn't find the power to open my eyes like I'm a tunnel that is so narrow,

But even though there was no light to provide me the courage that I can borrow,

I was inspired enough by the box of Pandora,

To the point that I widely blinked away to find myself observing such a beautiful aurora

I'm sobbing and my tears are invisible since they're mixed with salty aqua.

I'm underneath,

it's all over the place yet feels like a homemade juice that I can forget my name but never its taste.

I'm extremely comfortable here, but to reach the stars I got to be somewhere near,

Surpass the space and hold my one of a kind brighty lighty mace.

That's why I'm currently heading south.

For freedom I offer a widely vast smile on my mouth.

Knowledge isn't what we must need to acknowledge,

Instead we need to work on having the privilege to actually start to fledge,

Then find the truth ourselves by living it step by step, take a breath to finally make another step and jump from our personal top shelf.

There's nothing called "running out of time" after all

Since we can manipulate the clock's hands and play them like a ball.

Either way, time is a cycle, a labyrinthine loop and there is no power in the universe that is able to make it stall.

RE last post about bb Luz and Hunter

Just imagining Belos coming into Hunter's room every night after Luz arrives once he's finally decided he's going to do a murder and that he doesn't need the grimwalkers anymore, only to be dissuaded by the fact Luz is right there curled up asleep on top of him contentedly as he purrs.

This is despite the fact that they do not sleep in the same room and Belos is not entirely sure how she got there from her room and no matter how many locks he puts on both of their doors or guards he assigns she somehow gets in there or Hunter ends up in her room through similar means (it's the vents or guards blatantly collaborating) and just being constantly perplexed at how they constantly end up with each other and how he keeps being outwitted by a four year old and a six year old.

Eventually he gives up on just disappearing Hunter in his sleep and tries doing it in the day which is when the aforementioned meltdown happens but the image of Belos being bested by a four year old has seized my brain.

this is hilarious and delightful. i LOVE the idea of luz and hunter charming their guards. luz keeps going "but WHY can't i see him" with her giant baby doe eyes & her assigned coven guard of the week is like "....you know what. i have no idea." and keeps sneaking her over.

if luz DOESN'T manage to charm her guard of the week, hunter paces fretfully about it and bangs on his door until HIS guard of the week is like oh for fuck's sake. Fine. Let's Go

belos is certain the guards are conspiring despite them swearing they aren't & so he keeps switching them out & luz + hunter KEEP charming them & belos is like. WHAT MAGIC ARE THESE POWERLESS CHILDREN USING. WHAT IS GOING ON

actually. god. i haven't fleshed out much of luz's inner guard (besides hunter, obviously), but what if it's made up mostly of older guards/scouts who broke belos's rules when she was a baby. hunter would still do his due diligence wrt making sure they're steadfastly loyal and have no ulterior motives, but like. hunter like hey. i've known you since i was six and i know you'll do anything for luz.

& these people WELL into their late thirties and forties being like. i've known YOU since YOU were six. and yet somehow you have become my boss.

.....ok.
