30. it takes me about 20 minutes in the character creation screen, id say (tbh i don’t play that many games with a character creation screen)

40. i don’t really have a fave voice actor, i appreciate the work they do a lot, but if they’re doing a good job i shouldn’t think about the voice actor, i should think about the character

54. i really want borderlands 3 altho im scared they’ll get rid of the gays

64. oh damn, okay i’ll describe my top three fave video games in three words

You can't adopt him; he's already my son

Ahhhh YES THIS IS SO CANON 

like, this is 100% what happens. 

You know Aelin is that messy bitch who stays up until 4am with a good romance novel and then wakes up the next morning at noon like “where am i what day is it”

I feel like even though Aelin is a very physically strong character, she’s also really intelligent, and most of the times we see her be physically powerful also come along side a very smart plot. 

She’s always got backup plans, tricks up her sleeve, etc, and even though some of her plans go awry, I don’t think they are stupidly planned—she can’t account for the actions of others (even if she does try to control them). But we see her very successfully take down Arobynn, rescue Aedion, get Maeve to give Rowan up, beat Maeve and Erawan even when she doesn’t have as much fire power left. She uses her knowledge of Wyrd marks and her ability to think on her toes to her advantage, and even if a lot of the time her intelligence comes down to plotting out a battle or heist well, I can see her being able to transfer those skills to diplomacy. 

So yeah, I don’t see Aelin as a character who solves things via punching. I see her as a character who solves things by using her brain combined with her physical prowess. Ie, it’s not enough for Aelin to have fire power and beat Maeve in HoF. She spends the whole book learning about Maeve, figuring out what the gold ring is for, and why Doranelle is stone, and that Maeve wouldn’t risk her own people just to keep Rowan. Similarly, in Empire of Storms, it’s not enough for Aelin to just burn the valg alive at the temple, she also has a specific reason for wanting to go to the temple (to meet brannon), and she then uses the knowledge she gains there for her plots later in the book. And in KoA, she again uses her brain and knowledge of Wyrd marks to turn the tide of battle even without having her massive fire power.
