La Petite Mort

an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen

I want this BLAZED across tumblr like a banner at the top of the screen, permanently

I finished hell bent by leigh bardugo last night and I did enjoy it and while I don't want to compare it too much to six of crows I did appreciate the continuation of the idea that being a quote-unquote good person is privilege that not everyone is afforded and a lot of the people who pride themselves on being "good people" have simply never been in the position where they had to be anything else

I would like to nominate "You promised" "I know" as one of the most heartbreaking exchanges in the english language
