“Bet I know a thing or two about your dove.” “Like what?” “Like she’s delightful to look at, swishes around in bright colors, and sings like a mockingjay. You love her. And oh, how she seems to love you. Except sometimes you wonder, because her plans don’t include you at all.” Something something, Coriolanus calling Lucy Gray "my girl" versus Haymitch calling Lenore Dove "my girl."

reading The Hibernian:

surely no one will be able to tell who my favourite character is…

bless this man 😭

just the absolute worst luck (mostly due to Morgarath’s blazing target on his back, but I digress)

could’ve sworn his eyes were green?? *scuttles off to edit fanfic*

it also just hit me that it’s never mentioned in the first 10 books that Halt and Crowley trained under the same man. could’ve used more of Crowley in the original books in general, imo (definitely no personal bias here)

ah… so we meet at last

See I have the opposite problem 😭 I’m lukewarm on Will/Alyss but I desperately want to love them together. At this point I need someone to make me a PowerPoint on why they’re such a good pairing because I am very willing to be persuaded

thinking about Will/Alyss rn. someone should invent a surgery that removes a fictional ship from someone’s brain this is out of hand

It annoys me when people say that Jest died because Cath decided to save a traitor. Mary Ann was her best friend. She was one of the few people who she loved and who loved her back. Mary Ann was confused and didn't know what to do. The nuance and heartbreak that is Cath's decision to go through the door and save Mary Ann is what's so compelling about Heartless.

Cath saved her best friend. She didn't kill Jest.

Yes, the prophecy was going to be fulfilled, but what was she supposed to do? Let Mary Ann die? The deepness of her decision comes from the fact that whatever she did, someone she loved was doomed to die. That's why this is a tragic story. Whatever Cath decided to do, someone was going to die. And yes, Mary Ann was impulsive and scared, and you could interpret that she "betrayed" Cath. But when was love conditioned by loyalty? Cath loved her, and she couldn't just leave her there to die.

“You’d be surprised how often that works.”

Currently thinking about that scene in book 8 where Halt’s checking out the sheep, looks into the mouth of one and just shakes his head. And when Horace questions him like “so… what was wrong with its teeth?” Halt just goes “how should i know? i’m not a farmer. that’s just what people seem to do.”

Absolutely took me out. I love this man

If I cannot love you openly like I wish, if I cannot hold your hand when walking Or wrap you in my arms late at night. Then I will love you silently, in my mind and behind closed eyes For there, there is no rejection or heartbreak. And surely it is better to love silently than to not love at all?
