"The Barrel Doesn't Belong To Kings, It Belongs To Bastards"

"The barrel doesn't belong to kings, it belongs to bastards"

Millions dead, more in shambles, no one is able to form coherent thoughts anymore and everyone is kicking their legs and banging their heads against the wall

theres just something a little poetic about ronan lynch, whose motto (according to declan) is "the world against ronan lynch" and adam "army of one" parrish falling in love and trusting one another like they don't trust anyone else and always saying tamquam alter idem to each other and imagining futures where they're together and worrying about the other and their lives getting so tangled up. theyre so invested in each other and to think they both started off lonesome and alone

love how kanej and helnik are practically DROWNING in the angst and wesper are just living their best rom-com life being cute and wholesome

SHADOW AND BONE | 2x08

cannot stop laughing at the thought of kaz brekker going abroad chasing a big payday only to end up embroiled in a civil war in a country he doesn’t give a shit about facing off against shadow monsters and countless other horrors way above his pay grade with essentially a long stick for a weapon

genuinely the trailer is so fucking funny because you have alina flexing her powers and shooting light out of her hands and inej twirling her blades and jesper shooting with deadly precision and wylan with his big flashy explosives and matthias looking jacked in an mma fight and then there’s kaz just wailing on some dudes with his cane and swinging it around like a baseball bat

Aftg is such a trip because like. The timing is objectively off. It's better that way. It's badly written but actually no it's not. Here's a whole new sport. We lied, its just lacrosse in a silly hat. Trauma galore. By all known laws of book tropes, the main couple should be toxic as hell. They're too cagey and paranoid and possessive not to be. But the main couple, not caring about trope law, creates the healthiest relationship ever written anyways. It's problematic as fuck. It's the best series ever. It's completely unrecommendable. It's gay, but not how you think it'll be in the first book. You'll hate it the first time you read it. Six months later you'll have a whole blog for it.

Aftg isn't a book, it's a fucking experience.
