sorry your father never taught you the meaning of repugnant he was too busy slamming your head against the wall while you apologized for being alive
I found this so endearing even though I know it’s because my boy was literally like too busy getting waterboarded to learn what weed is 🤦♀️
aaron minyard's life will never stop being funny to me. your mother is abusive and you become addicted to drugs. you discover you have a twin brother and the guy doesn't want to fucking talk to you. he goes to juvie and then comes to live with you. he kills your fucking mother. he doesn't talk to you. your gay cousin comes back from Europe and adopts you. your brother almost kills some more people and now he has to be medicated all the time. you get a scholarship to play a stupid sport at a dead-beat team of rejects with basically your whole family. your brother still doesn't talk to you. he carries knives now. he adopts a guy who had his hand crashed and looks like he ran away from a cult. he's a celebrity. you meet a girl that you like but you can't be with her because your brother might kill her. he still doesn't talk to you. new guy gets signed up on the team and he has all your warning bells going off. your brother seems to agree. then suddenly he's part of your little gang. your brother and him talk a lot apparently? (he doesn't talk to to you) said guy can't keep his mouth shut for 5 seconds. he is a real asshole and he knows german. you have to keep up with uni because you want to become a doctor. you kill your brother's rapist. he goes away. you still haven't talked. he comes back. the insufferable brat goes missing. he is the son of a serial killer? no, fuck that. him and your brother are a thing? are they for real? you're half convinced your brother is doing this to spite you. you're going to the championships against a team used as a front for the mafia. you just wanted to become a doctor.
I think it’s wild that Renee apparently never told the upperclassmen that she’s killed a person, but told Neil as soon as it was relevant. Like damn Andrew really is her best friend. And she’s putting in the work to help with his crush.
there’s a lot of uncertainty in life, but you can always count on nora’s characters to drink an obscene amount of coffee and to toe their shoes on/off at any given opportunity
i cannot believe that Renee has canonically looked at two people throughout the books and thought ‘would smash’ and those people are Andrew and Jean… girl what’s going on
nora confirmed that if he wanted to Neil could take down the fucking Yakuza and kill everyone he dislikes but he chooses to be a fucking jock
my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG
KEVINNNNNNNNNNNN
So crazy how this whack asf scene actually invented sexual tension
If there is one thing about maggie stiefvater; it’s that you knowwwwww her characters are gunna have some solid teeth
