I can’t stop thinking about how when Cardan wanted to talk to Jude about the first time they got intimate and she quickly replies she just wanted to get it out of her system, Cardan asks her “Did you? Get it out of your system?”
But what he meant was “Did you get ME out of your system, because I can’t get you out of mine nor do I want to. I only fell in deeper.”
Her reply about wanting to just get it out of her system hurt him.
When he had said “This is a terrible idea.” as he was kissing her and taking of his shirt, he didnt mean terrible as in things are gonna get weird and akward between them. He meant this was going to rattle him to the bones. This was going to make him fall in deeper for her. This was a terrible idea for him because he knew she didnt reciprocate his feelings and HE was vulnerable and going to end up hurt. It was a terrible idea for HIM.
... somehow, this is about Marco and Celia. They're adding these tents to the circus for everyone, but they actually made them for each other.
book dedications are so tender here is this piece of art i made for an audience of thousands. but really every word is for you
there’s something so much more beautiful about love when it’s doomed from the start.
No one gets nemesis and hate-based relationships like V. E. Schwab. Nobody.
It's about the intimacy. It's about the knowing one another even if you don't like one another. It's about how respect doesn't necessarily soften into affection or friendliness. Or conversely, how the deeper the friendship, the more twisted the hate once it's corrupted. It's about your reflection being the most like you but also your polar opposite. It's about having someone who fits the negative space in your life like you fit theirs.
I miss crying over crushes.
Me when I consume media with a stabbing knowledge that I'll never experience anything as mortifying, beautiful and agonizing as this, with my hands tainted my brain rotted my heart overwhelmed and for my soul to be forever grotesquely haunted ( affectionately )
being covered in blood is inherently slut behavior
like you just experienced the most brutal and painful event in your life and now you’re soaked in blood?
ok whore.
That feeling when the couple you were rooting for is happy, but you're only 70% through the first book, AND it's a duology.
"Even if I see you again, I will never see you again.

Will: I hate it when people ask "are you seeing anyone?" Do you mean a therapist, dating, or hallucinations?
Will: I mean the answer to all of those would be yes and also the same person but that's besides the point
