His monstrous queen. His gentle ruler.

This is where you belong. This is where you were meant to bloom. Don't roll your eyes, Galaxy. Not every flower belongs in every garden.

Darlingstern moments that play in a ceaseless loop in my head, Vol. I
The fact that Alex was sweaty as fuck the first time they met and made Darlington roll up her sleeve to check for track marks
Darlingtons prudish shock when Alex takes her shirt off in front of him
The fact that they got shitfaced and broke a bunch of Lethe glassware??? Like she got Mr. Lethe to be like “fuck the rules”? And they passed out in the parlor???
Alex’s foot/hand/arm fetish
When Darlington complimented her Queen Mab costume, then said “didn’t someone say love is a shared delusion?” And “two people reciting the same spell”
Darlington getting annoyed when some guy hits on her
The “incident”
His heart hurting for the wanting of someone
The fact that Alex literally has constant imaginary conversations with him and everything reminds her of him and she always assesses how he would feel about her actions
Her eyes were dark and full of stars.
A bit of Darlingstern from Ninth House to change things up 🖤
The gentleman of Lethe
Daniel Arlington III the man that you are,,,,,,
Your life purpose is different than your soul purpose. While your life purpose is defined by the work that you do, your soul purpose is defined by the lessons you receive throughout life.
The first six houses show a range of autonomous states of consciousness which perpetuate our awareness of life. While the last half of the dozen, shift your awareness to your higher-self. From the attachments you form with the world, how they transform you, and how you in turn then transform the world.
For instance: the ninth house represents self-enlightenment. This encompasses our personal lived experiences as well as the destiny we reclaim for ourselves. Before working within this house, we have to be in service to our purpose. Or receiving the lessons of the opposite house, in order to define your purpose.

I'm reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
And let me tell you
I went from a cute sweet wholesome witch book to this dark book
I feel like I'm having wip lash
This book touches on some fucked up themes
I keep having to put it down just to give myself a second
I think this would have been easier had I not just read such a happy book tbh
“Of course we’re not running,” said Harrowhark disdainfully. “I said a necromancer alone. I have you. We bring hell.”

why is the only reason I want to keep reading ninth house is to continue Darlingstern 😭 Leigh Bardugo really figured out how to make readers read lol
I didn’t choose to fall in love with every snarky and rude academically inclined character I come across; they put on a long coat and went on about history or architecture or latin and I was powerless to resist them
