Just A Hot Mess

So (Spoiler?) after learning that Dorian’s Father was constantly fighting the Valg inside him he tries to explain to Dorian that he attempted to protect his son and his kingdom as best he could. And if you need further proof then Aedion is the perfect example.

First of all the Valg must have known that when they didn’t gain control over him he wasn’t actually wearing the ring and yet he survived a heck of a time before he was captured.

Secondly the King gave him back the Sword of Orynth.

B: You want to know what would be really funny? You actually doing it.

A: I...

B: Who do you think you are to command life and death?

A: The one holding the gun

B: Really? Well then you may see that try as you might you will never conquer death and bend life to your will.

A: Maybe I already have

B: Then do it. I dare you. If you need some moralistic excuse to help you sleep at night and look at yourself in the morning here. It. Is.

A: I think you are afraid to die

B: Honey, you're projecting yourself onto me.

A: I think you love life

TBH sisters before misters is real to her. She was/is willing to give up everything of herself to make sure that Aelin can live on after never being able to determine her own fate. While it’s possible to go on about how Aelin asked that of her there’s also something to be said for the fact that Lysandra knew what she was giving up, and she still did.

Yrene: Love is all about opening yourself up to the other person

Aelin: I can totally relate, I wanted to spill Rowan's guts out on the floor the first time I met him too.

Antagonist: Get out of the way

Person B: [Person A] won't do it you know, really useless trying

Antagonist: They will if I give them the proper motivation

Person B: [laughs] if you say so

Antagonist: MOVE!

Person A: [Person B] is right you know

Person B: Stubbornness is the quality I hate most about you you know

Antagonist: [to Person B] A little help?

TOWER OF DAWN SPOILERS

So even though Sartaq said that he had known that he loved Nesryn for a long time there’s no way that he didn’t doubt at times if it would ever be due to the political nature in which she sought him out at first and both of her more closed off-ish natures. But he couldn’t talk to his family about it, and he had been mostly away from his hearth mother and sister for the beginnings of the romance so I bet that Kadara got plenty of long ass speeches of Sartaq trying to figure out if he should really go for it and what to do.

Imagine Rowan looking into Aelin’s eyes and then thinking of Aedion and just because he’s now thinking of Aedion he then starts thinking of Gavriel and at this point Aelin has figured it out and is laughing hysterically while calling both Aedion AND Gavriel over.

Tower of Dawn SPOILER: Imagine Nesryn teasing Sartaq and him just sitting there laughing quietly laughing and saying that he’s already heard it all because of Borte and she’s just thinking that one day she’ll get him. Then when she goes back to see her family at her uncle and aunt’s house and her father is there he asks Sartaq when the wedding will be and the aunt starts asking about how many kids they’ll have and Nesryn is mortified but just letting him struggle and flail on his own while thinking I told you so.

Imagine Lorcan showing up in Perranth decades later and Elide just being like “It took you long enough” but as soon as Lorcan steps in through the door she’s like “No, you need to get cleaned up first” and her punishment for him is having to be washed and looked after by about half a dozen servants while she chuckles in the corner.

Someone save my soul I have read Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas and I am infatuated. I will (for a little while) put spoiler alerts on my posts that will contain Tower of Dawn content once my brain has put itself back together from that mind blowing experience enough to actually say anything about it.

Good one I have loved

Small one I have cherished

Tiny things I hold close to my heart

All to try and keep me weightless

But it’s the big emptiness that holds me down

Drags me to the depths

A darkness that I cannot see

A love I cannot know

Because all there is is nothing

What can I know of anything?

If none of it lodges in the crevices of my tiny heart

With too much empty space around it

Drifting on a sea of blood

My brothers

My rivals

My sisters

My enemies

My fathers

My doubters

My mothers

In the Rain

Vix stared out the back screen door. It was pouring down hard but Vorenna was just standing there in the rain. She wondered if the girl was crying, it would make sense. But when her body turned Vix could see that Vorenna held a small smile on her face.

Vix stared. She could feel her own desire pressing upon her, her mind turned it over. Vorenna was there standing in the rain and she knew exactly what she was doing when she shifted her features just a bit, made herself look a bit more like a faerie and parted raindrops in her entrance.

Water burned cold on her skin and her now hard and angular features gave way to a small smile as she approached the younger halfling. Vorenna was just staring at her, dark skin shadowed by the rainclouds. Beautiful was a strange concept to a being that could become whatever she wanted, it was so subjective and volatile it was hardly worth her time than to consider what it meant to others; but Vorenna was beautiful.

Vix wasn’t the type to hesitate when she decided to attack. And when the shapeshifter took her counterpart’s face in her hands, both slicked with rain, and leaned in kissing her deeply there was no pause. Tiny wisps of hair were forcefully swept away by her fingers. She had expected shock a struggle but she surprised her when all the halfling did was lean deeper into the kiss, silently cursing to herself the purposefully constructed height advantage that Vix had given herself.

Okay so in preparation for FINALLY starting to read the latest book in the Throne of Glass series I'm reading through previous books and found this gem.

Maeve: Making people’s lives a living hell sounds fun

Fenrys: This is why no one likes you

Lorcan: Whatever you desire (I’ll send Rowan to do it)

Rowan: I. Don’t. Care. (Obviously)

Gavriel: Your word is my command

Connall: Please pick someone who else

Vaughan: …

There never was

There never will be

The pain that you knew

When someone said hello

But someone else said goodbye

Because they said it in passing

And neither one knew

What paths were crossing
