Thinking About Jean Makes Me Want To Cry But His Dialogue Never Fails To Make Me Laugh

am i the only one who imagined kavinsky to look just like iceman from top gun?? just looked at fanart after finishing tdt and apparently his hair isn't blond??

story of my life

"are you okay?" no I got way too attached to a fictional character and now they're dead

TW: self-harm

it just came to mind that andrew minyard likely vividly remembers inflicting every single scar upon himself, plus the pain that caused him to do so, and the armbands are a constant reminder and he'll never fully heal from that and now my day is ruined

as a person who formerly struggled with sh and carries scars very similar to his (3 years clean and going strong!) i'm genuinely so glad i barely remember the worst of my pain even if i'll always be marked by it. but having his memory seems more like a curse than a "gift" in this case

just finished empire of the damned

i am not okay

dear mister kristoff, why must you hurt me like this

11/10 i need the next book NOW

ew what is this new app icon I want the old one back

How 90% of my stories came to be

Perfect summary of why I adore this book

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.
