Thish Ish Kinda Cute-

Somewhere between thinking of Beth as "the middle sister who dies, what about her?" to "the nice one, the one who wants everyone to be happy", Evelyn Hugo fell in love with Celia St James.

"But perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it."

friendly reminder that the god of mischief, Loki Laufeyson SMILED WHEN MOBIUS TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD BE WHOEVER HE WANTED, EVEN SOMEONE GOOD.

“No man is worth more than another, wherever he is from.”

“But what if he is your friend?” Achilles had asked him. “Or your brother? Should you treat him the same as a stranger?” “You ask a question that philosophers argue over,” Chiron had said. “He is worth more to you, perhaps. But the stranger is someone else’s friend and brother. So which life is more important?”

We had been silent. We were fourteen, and these things were too hard for us. Now that we are twenty-seven, they still feel too hard. He is half of my soul, as the poets say.

He will be dead soon, and his honor is all that will remain. It is his child, his dearest self. Should I reproach him for it?

I know, now, how I would answer Chiron. I would say: there is no answer. Whichever you choose, you are wrong.

~The Song of Achilles

NOTHING TRUER WAS SAID

Darklina is such a beautiful relationship, such an arresting one. The chemistry, the spiritual connection, the love and passion and power and understanding. The darkness to the light. The king to the queen. An eclipse representative of self actualization and equal and opposite principles, two people made powerless by the world coming into their own. Two lonely souls finding strength and a home in each other. A bond of mind and soul and heart, a breathtaking union.

It’s a compelling relationship and a stunning one. When I think of Darklina I think of a starry night sky. A boy afraid of the dark discovering sunlight. A girl ostracized by the world discovering acceptance. I think of the yin and yang. The concept yǒu yuán wú fèn. Soulmates destined for each other in every universe and every world, and yet tragically unable to connect in this one because they met too late. I think of harmony and I think of the chance for true understanding. I think of finding safety in the only other person in the world who will truly know you, an eternity with the one you love. I think of something transcendental and always.

I think Darklina is an amazing ship, and I think it’s worth examining and engaging with and loving, because it means so much more than people give it credit, and it’s fans love it for so many complex and inspiring reasons.

Malina is such a soft relationship, such a charming one. The history, the longing, the care and consideration and dedication and loyalty and love and sacrifice. The foundation of friendship and tenderness, of reaching for each other, meeting in the middle. Always holding hands, cradling pieces of each other’s souls, each other’s memories. Always inviting, never taking. Always searching, never hunting. The pining and adoration and want.

It’s a captivating relationship and a kind one. When I think of Malina I don’t think of a meadow, I don’t think of their scars. I think of the stag - Alina’s stag - who’s song Mal could hear. I think of how quickly he volunteered to go find it, how easily he recognized her drawing and knew the story behind her dreams. I think of them running together, side by side. I think of the warmth in their smiles, their joy at first seeing each other after time apart. I think of the sacrifices they’ve made to keep each other alive, always willing to give everything. I think of summer and a cool breeze. Of two children shunned by society finding solace and safety in each other. I think of something solid and supportive.

I think Malina is an amazing ship, and I think it’s worth exploring and finding comfort in and loving, because it has so many beautiful meanings and it’s fans love it for such dynamic and moving reasons.

Okay so I know how Darklina stans say Taylor wrote 'my tears ricochet' for them, but 'hoax' gives me Darklina vibes too~

"My twisted knife,my sleepless night" and "Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in" and "You knew it still hurts underneath my scars" and "My win-less fight, this has frozen my ground" and "You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?"

Kanej as Taylor Swift songs~

•Cowboy like me

"I've got some tricks up my sleeve, takes one to know one."

"You're a cowboy like me, never wanted love, just a fancy car."

"Perched in the dark, telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear."

"You're a bandit like me, eyes full of stars. Hustling for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here."

"And the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to mess this up."

"Forever is the sweetest con."

"And I'm never gonna love again."

•Treacherous

"Put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch."

"And I'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands."

"This path is reckless, this slope is treacherous. I like it."

"Your name has echoed through my mind, and I just think you should, think you should know."

"Nothing safe is worth the drive, and I will follow you, follow you home."

•Willow

"Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife."

"The more that you say, the less I know. Wherever you stray, I follow."

"I'm begging for you to take my hand."

"Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in, as if you were a mythical thing."

"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars.

•State of grace

"And I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same."

"You come around and the armor falls."

"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong."

"We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts."

"This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right."

"These are the hands of faith, you're my Achilles heel."

•Peace

"I never had the courage of my convictions, as long as danger is near."

"And it's just around the corner darling, 'cause it lives in me. No, I could never give you peace."

"All these people think love's for show, but I die for you in secret."

"The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me."

"It's like I'm wasting your honour."

"Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other."

"I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best. But the rain is always gonna come, when you're standing with me."

"Would it be enough, if I could never give you peace?"

•Untouchable

"Untouchable like a distant diamond sky. I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why."

"And when you're close, I feel like coming undone."

"You gotta come on, come on. Say that we'll be together."

•Jump then fall

"I realise your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard."

"I like the way I can't keep my focus. I watch you talk, you didn't notice."

"Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me."

"When people say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you."

•Mirrorball

"Hush, I know they said the end is near, but I'm still on my tallest tiptoes."

"I'm a mirrorball, I can change everything about me to fit in."

"I'm still on that tightrope, I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me."

"I'm still a believer, but I don't know why. I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try."

When Jessie and Amita started talking about diversity in the industry, and how being Asian and trying to fit in makes you feel like you belong nowhere. And how these characters show young girls that they DO BELONG AND THAT THEY CAN BE BAD BITCHES TOO. I cried. We love it.

“We all bear scars, Dorian. Mine just happen to be more visible than most."

Marvel managed to deprive Loki of his first true friend and first crush at the same time. hAhA pAiN.
