Cassian's relationship with Herald is so fucking weird.
He hates Herald for replacing him. He took the Sidestep name to spite him, to spit in the face of his bright eyed hero worship. He envies Herald his gender. He covets all Herald has and is. Herald is his nemesis. Sidestep is Herald's.
He loves Daniel. He basks in the warmth of his thoughts. He revels in the easy way Daniel excepts him. He wears Daniel's clothes to smell like him. He would kill for Daniel. He would burn the world for Daniel.
He's never been more honest with nor told more lies to anyone like he has with Daniel. He can't lose to Herald, but also wouldn't accept being taken in by anyone but Daniel. There's no good ending for them. Cassian wants it anyway.
netflix hill house is a good horror show but why did they name it after this book like. it’s so not the same type of ghost story. tv hill house is haunted by ghosts that are very scary guys. hill house the book doesn’t have any ghost guys. the book characters were never a family, that’s kind of made a point of. and nell can’t be theo’s sweet innocent dead sister bc she’s theo’s jealous mean nasty wonderful toxic yuri life ruiner. call it smth else…
whenever i see ur levi art i get the inexplicable urge to bark but not in a sexual way, in a “u are so interesting and terrible and fantastic and u suck and i love you but i dont know how to verbalise it” kind of way

filled up my reading notebook so until i get another one. microblogging
i don't doubt they would have leveraged tain hu to exercise control over baru, and above all baru wants to be untethered from these higher powers, so it's not that she gained nothing towards her aim. but that she carries out the execution as she does out of posturing for her new imperial coworkers / to give off an image of loveless detachment and not only does everyone see through it, but there is not a single response among her peers as she was gunning for. it utterly alienates the coworker that has commonality with her in this hostile world and who had previously been hopeful to bond with her over it. cairdine farrier is DELIGHTED. not even in the way that she would have wanted him to be in her ruse. he knows she loved tain hu. he doesn't want her to not be gay. he wants her to be gay and suffer the anguish of KILLING what she loves in order to prove that she can overcome her base instincts of being gay. he sees her actions as evidence corroborating his theory. she becomes another cog in his plan by it. you didn't even get what you wanted out of this, you can't help but think. you blew up everything for worse than nothing.
I wanted to add a comic of Amber proudly showing Oksana her shirt, but i haven't had the time BUT IF I DID
