don't be shy, release the essay.
It is my firm belief that one of the most important parallels in Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom is that Wylan Van Eck had the potential to become Kaz Brekker, and Kaz Brekker had the potential to become Wylan Van Eck, in this essay I will -
so I read six of crows... my therapist will hear about this.
I just made coffee with coffee. this is a new low.
the inherent lesboeroticism of anything and everything i personally like
I am so glad that they changed the person who mary falls in love with into a woman. it fits her character and the story so well<3
“And I thought, will anyone be better off if I just go back to the hotel and say my prayers and promise never to fall into temptation again? And the answer came back. No. No one will. And I realised there was no one there to reward me for being a good girl or no one there to punish me for being wicked. There was no one. And it was… it was liberating. And it was… It was a bit lonely. But I just knew I wanted to experience everything the world had to offer. I wanted to experience love.” MARY MALONE in HIS DARK MATERIALS 3.08
his dark materials really said heaven is not real and you will return to dust upon your death so you need to make your own heaven on earth by being a good person instead of wasting your time practicing a hateful religion headed by a corrupt church

One of the reasons why I think that Lucy, Lockwood and George work so well as a trio is that they very much complete each other, making up for each other's weaknesses.
Like, Lockwood and George are a bit too aloof but Lucy is very emotionally mature. Lucy and George are a bit too flaky but Lockwood is a strong leader. Lockwood and Lucy are a bit too impulsive but George is levelheaded.
They're all very flawed and damaged kids but they raise each other up at every turn, effectively helping the others better themselves.
You know, they just work. They make sense. It's beautiful.
and now imagine what happens when lucy joins them. we all know that she makes lockwood act even more stupid to impress her so imagine the chaos that will ensue.
Imagine the first time George came to the archive with Lockwood. The archivists would have been so excited to see George again because they would have feared he would have left the industry after getting fired only to realise now he comes to visit with a maniac who puts his feet up on the desk.
people will bring up the fictional murder as if i had anything to do with it or could stop it. like i’m not aware. “you know this freak KILLS people right?” man what do you want me do about that. i’m not his keeper. he’s funny to observe. and also not real
I already know that I simply will not survive the percy jackson show but at the same time it's gonna be my reason to stay alive for the next ten years.
I'M CRYING THIS IS WAY TOO FUNNY
My name is Hermes. I ain't a poet. I stole this poem just to show it. And my. My son died. I can save kids but i can't save mine (what!)
“Don’t kill yourself you have to outlive the queen” is old. It’s tired. The queen is literally dead. “Don’t kill yourself you have to see annabeth take the knife that was meant for percy’s achilles heel in live action” is new. Fresh. It’ll take about 6 years.
I have a really specific way of organizing my books but I really can't explain it. it's mostly 🌠vibes🌠
I have a question
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!
someone needs to take phoebe bridgers away from people that make edits to the last of us.
LUCY AND NORRIE HAD SOMETHING FRUITY GOING ON OKAY??
locklyle is endgame (duh) but the way they looked at eachother?? sorry, that just screamed "I just found out I'm bi and I have a not so secret crush on my best friend."
So they bring Norrie back to life, yeah. And who does she end up dating, none other than Holly Munro
The more I reflect on the show, the more I understand and am happy with the plot and dialogue deviations. I think this comes from my realisation that it’s not just dialogue from the book they had to transfer, but moreover Lucy’s descriptive narration as well, and turn that into new dialogue and story. Additionally, they have to be able to show perspectives other than Lucy’s, which I think they did exceptionally well.
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry
Fine. Fine. I’ll tell you everything. You’re right. No one will be surprised if I turn up dead. They’ve all been waiting for it.
in general, I loved how the actors chose to play the characters. lockwood being a bit more obviously reckless and suicidal. lucy obviously still struggeling with how her mother treated her (mostly obvious with the "asset" storyline. In general, this show just added a little bit of spice to the characters and I love it.
Ali is bringing so much neurodivergence to George’s character, and l’m OBSESSED.
I always read him as a blunt person who just doesn’t mind being a dick, but like,,, when you add it to how Ali delivers his lines and doesn’t make eye contact— like he is making the choice to play George as autistic coded and have researching be his special interest and I just love that 😭
this is such a shitty picure because I photographed my laptop but LUCY AND LOCKWOOD ARE HOLDING HANDS THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!
am I starting lockwood and co a second time immediatly after finishing it? yhea, what about it??
lockwood& co show rant incoming so spoiler warning!
I really miss the funny parts of the book but at the same time I like how they made it a bit darker. it just made the stakes a bit higher.
ALSO THE PART AFTER THEY JUMPED INTO THE RIVER AND IT LOOKED LIKE LOCKLYLE WOULD KISS AND THEN LUCY SHOVED HIM AWAY OMFG GO OFF GIRL!!!
I also love the way they made lockwood be a bit more obviously struggeling. I thought people being more aware of him being suicidal really fit the characters.
I'm a bit worried that they'll make a love triangle between lucy, lockwood and kipps (altho I used to have a headcanon that kipps used to have a crush on lockwood but that's another story). maybe the kipps asking lucy out for coffee was just a way for him to manipulate her but if this is gonna be another typical ya show with a love triangle it will probably suck lol.
but all in all, it was suprisingly more accurate to the book than I expected! I was so scared that they would mash all of the books into one season but now I'm really scared that they won't make another season. so yes, stream lockwood and co!!!
if they don't renew this show I will fucking sue.
call the police. I was robbed of tourist lockwood. this is a crime.
strangers by ethel cain is so will graham coded.
this poem (?) is about my relationship with my eating disorder through the years so TRIGGER WARNING! this is also the story on how I started recovery. have fun reading :)

I only need your approval to live.
it's my food, it's my air.
I can never get enough, I guess if you starve yourself you get hungry for other things.
the number on the scale gets smaller and smaller while the hunger grows and grows.
I'm constantly running, chasing happieness, hoping I will find it in smaller clothes and sleepless nights.
Have you checked my thigh gap?
Maybe I will find it there.
Maybe I will never find it.
I know that if i keep searching for it I'll loose myself but what am I to absolution?
Do I even deserve it?
Am I pretty now?
Now that you can see my bones and the aching in my belly is all I can think about.
Is getting smaller the secret to becoming beautiful, becoming happy?
If so I'm prepared to become nothing if that means you will finally see me as enough.
why is your opinion so important to me?
you're just a tiny voice in my head, why should I listen to you?
Are you me? Am I you?
a part of me keeps fighting.
it defends me from your nasty insults, keeps telling me to just hold on, that i deserve to let you go.
But do I really?
You hurt so many people but you did it with my voice so the guilt is my burden to take.
You make me feel guilty about things that you did, say it's my fault that i told others about you and now they think the same way as I do.
Is it my fault?
I'm not sure.
you and me begann to blur, the tiny shimmer of hope that I will get rid of you dies and the need to listen to you, become you grows every day.
do I even want to keep fighting against you?
It's exhausting and going your way would be so much easier.
but then I think about the days when your voice is quiet, sometimes it wasn't even there and those memories show me that true happieness is only possible if you're gone.
so i keep fighting, keep talking against you.
I even got help.
Now i have people that listen to me, people who tell me that you're evil, that I should let you go.
but that's easier said than done.
you were my best friend, my compass in my darkest times but now i know that you were the reason the darkness kept growing.
I don't need you anymore and you're nothing without me.
Maybe you deserve to be nothing.
