Karthik “I’m a cocky little shit” Singh really insulted his bf’s homophobic father and said “I fucked your son” in the same breath. Fucking Speechless.

Tumblr user @books—and-cleverness adds a quote from an interview with the author of the book:

« That was one of the first questions I asked her when we sat down: ‘Did you always know that [Prim] was going to die?’ And she said, ‘Oh yeah, of course, that’s the whole point.’ » (x)

the worst fictional deaths are actually the ones you see coming, where there is enough foreshadowing that you have time to hope, against all odds, that the character will survive, even as you realise that there’s no way out this time, they’re not going to make it, this was always how it was going to end.

This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.

WOW

In light of all the Steve vs. Stephen posts, here’s something wholesome and cuter:

Stephen doesn’t wanna drive a car or be in a vehicle at all, because, y’know, trauma. But I mean you can’t always portal yourself everywhere all the time either, so Steve teaches him to ride his motorcycle instead. He lends it to the sorcerer whenever he needs to get somewhere— and sometimes, every now and then, just to see him smile.

Because there’s something quietly touching about the way Stephen flies down the streets as though he’s finally free, laughing as his cloak streams out behind him, his dark hair curling happily in the wind.
