This Vaguely Describes My Thought Process Reading The Raven King

feels so wrong that itll be 2025 soon. fake year. science fiction year

you with the dark curls (regulus), you with the watercolor eyes (evan), you who bares all your teeth in every smile (barty)

finished the first book tn and can’t get my hands on the second soon enough thanks tumblr for keeping me fed while im waiting

Yeah, hey Aiden? This is a shockingly good representation of this aspect of the book. Fuck you.

barty: BASTARD what about me

regulus: mother and father completely ruined my life, i can’t stand them

sirius: and yet you’re wearing the gucci pajamas mother bought you and you’re currently online shopping using fathers credit card

regulus: they gave me a horrible childhood, they can make up for it by buying me things *turns to james* would you like a giraffe? there’s currently one for sale on craigslist for $70,000 and i think that’s just enough to make mother go crazy

james: omg yes yes yes

sirius:

sirius: wait buy me one too

remus: absolutely not, you are not bringing a giraffe to the dorm

regulus: come on remus, let them have their giraffes. i’ll buy you a cat

remus: this is not the regulus i’m used to, usually you always agree with me

regulus: today i’m trying to erase my childhood trauma by buying things

remus:

remus: yeah get me the cat

i have made this 😭😭😭

Character hated in the series and loved by the fandom (Leo Valdez) and character loved in the series and hated by the fandom (Jason Grace.)

And they’re best friends.

this is a poem though

there used to be so many stars in the sky that you would have to scrape away a dozen of them that splattered on your windshield every time you drove somewhere, but now they're being over-hunted to make american flag merchandise. very sad

something to be said about how the arena from haymitch's games was a poisonous paradise where you could never truly trust your senses and how sunrise on the reaping is a book about the dangers of propaganda and how easy it is to fall victim to some pretty lies.

jace was so sure from the jump that izzy would get bored of simon. of course she would. that's the way izzy operated right? date a boy until he stopped being interesting. move on. izzy was too interesting for any boy anyway, and some ridiculous mundane? please. give her two weeks max.

funny, though, how that .. never happened. izzy never got bored. but it was never about getting bored. not really. even if that's what she told her brothers, even if that's what she told herself. the boredom came not because there wasn't more to uncover but because she refused to get close enough to see the more. the things that make a man interesting, that make him tick. she refused to let her own more be seen too, but all the interesting stuff is already on the outside right? a man could never get bored of isabelle lightwood. so she has to tire of them. otherwise she risks getting too close. otherwise she risks opening her heart.

and simon.. simon just kept surprising her. the thing about someone who is so unassuming to begin with is that they have the tendency to keep proving you wrong. and simon doesn't hide anything either. he shoots a skylight. he bites a vampire. hell, he becomes a vampire! he's funny and he's kind and he pays attention. he's not like the guys izzy has dated because they wear their interesting on the outside. they make it possible for izzy not to have to dig any deeper. but simon is just an open book that once izzy flipped the first page she found she couldn't manage to look up from.

izzy was never going to get bored of simon. no matter what jace said. no matter what izzy definitely thought at the beginning as well. because how could she? he's simon.
