I Wan To Start Using This In My Vocabulary

going back and reading fourth wing after iron flame is so fun because you can see all the times vi had unhinged thoughts about how hot and beautiful xaden is and you know he was totally catching them

i bet he was mentally kicking his little booted feet the whole entire time and trying not to blush

like when he first takes her to the mat and she’s fuming but her internal monologue is literally like:

“the golden flecks on his eyes seem to dance”

“the bitter illogical taste of jealousy fills my mouth”

“beautiful. fucking. asshole.”

“my breath catches and my body warms, the traitorous bitch. you are not attracted to toxic men, i remind myself, and yet, here i am, getting all attracted. i have been since the first second i saw him, if i feel like being honest.”

“fire races along my skin at the feel of his fingers lacing with mine. toxic. dangerous. wants to kill you. nope, doesn’t matter. my pulse still skitters like a teenager.”

“i swallow, refusing to think of other things that are a good fit at this angle”

xaden probably went to his room after this and screamed into a pillow

shrek is speaking FACTS

a frowned upon relationship with your wingleader you could handle, but a forbidden relationship with your professor… that’s a whole other ball game.

as thrilled as you are to have xaden back at basgiath, you’re not sure how you’re feeling about the fact he’s going to be your new teacher.

what? i think the new professor title is hot.

you fight a smile.

when were you going to tell me?

i didn’t know myself until this morning. we’ll talk after class.

that’s if we can. there’s going to be a lot of eyes on you now.

we’ll figure it out, love. we always do.

as soon as class ends, you rush over to him. devera beats you to him and as you (try to) patiently wait for them to finish their conversation, you feel the brush of a shadow against your cheek.

“he’s all yours, cadet,” devera gives you a knowing smile. “but make it quick. no doubt aetos will have something to say about this.”

“i can handle aetos.” xaden tells you when she leaves.

you worry your bottom lip between your teeth, “he’s going to make your life hell now.”

“so let him,” he steps closer to you, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “all that matters is that i get to see your beautiful face every day.”

you roll your eyes, “ever the charmer.”

he hums, “meet me in my room later?”

you nod and he presses a loving kiss to your forehead.

“does this mean i have to start calling you professor?”

xaden smirks, “maybe only when i have you on your back later.”

i carry this pain in my heart every day

I’m handling this very calmly actually

*glare*

percy: annabeth, come play soldiers with me

annabeth, fake chuckling: silly percy, it's not playing soldiers if we are soldiers

percy, with an over exaggerated knee slap and laughter: of course! how could i forget, we're literally child soldiers!

both: *glares at gods*

I think i broke Ibis paint...

Had to reblog it

Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”
