“I name you Elentiya.” She kissed the assassin’s brow. “I give you this name to use with honor, to use when other names grow too heavy. I name you Elentiya, ‘Spirit That Could Not Be Broken.’ "

I miss Nehemia :'(

As Dante was watching me search the sky through the lens of a telescope, he whispered, “Someday, I’m going to discover all the secrets of the universe.”

That made me smile. “What are you going to do with all those secrets, Dante?”

“I’ll know what to do with them,” he said. “Maybe change the world.”

I believed him.

NINA ZENIK WITH KANEJ.

Lead book characters: *glance at each other*

Every best friend character:

The bff is always the first shipper.

When I was reading the part where Alina does that vision-mind travel-connection thing with the Darkling for the first time I was like ugh this is gonna be the same old him making her feel stupid but DAMN

The "You might make me a better man." "And you might make me a monster." !!!! The "We would be equals till the day I dared to disagree with you." !!!! The "You are stronger, wiser, infinite in experience...But I am an apt pupil." !!!!!

Imagining that conversion happening in the show.

Brb screaming into the void.

Kanej as Taylor Swift songs~

•Cowboy like me

"I've got some tricks up my sleeve, takes one to know one."

"You're a cowboy like me, never wanted love, just a fancy car."

"Perched in the dark, telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear."

"You're a bandit like me, eyes full of stars. Hustling for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here."

"And the skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to mess this up."

"Forever is the sweetest con."

"And I'm never gonna love again."

•Treacherous

"Put your lips close to mine, as long as they don't touch."

"And I'll do anything you say, if you say it with your hands."

"This path is reckless, this slope is treacherous. I like it."

"Your name has echoed through my mind, and I just think you should, think you should know."

"Nothing safe is worth the drive, and I will follow you, follow you home."

•Willow

"Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife."

"The more that you say, the less I know. Wherever you stray, I follow."

"I'm begging for you to take my hand."

"Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in, as if you were a mythical thing."

"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark. Show me the places where the others gave you scars.

•State of grace

"And I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same."

"You come around and the armor falls."

"So you were never a saint, and I've loved in shades of wrong."

"We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts."

"This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right."

"These are the hands of faith, you're my Achilles heel."

•Peace

"I never had the courage of my convictions, as long as danger is near."

"And it's just around the corner darling, 'cause it lives in me. No, I could never give you peace."

"All these people think love's for show, but I die for you in secret."

"The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me."

"It's like I'm wasting your honour."

"Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other."

"I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best. But the rain is always gonna come, when you're standing with me."

"Would it be enough, if I could never give you peace?"

•Untouchable

"Untouchable like a distant diamond sky. I'm reaching out and I just can't tell you why."

"And when you're close, I feel like coming undone."

"You gotta come on, come on. Say that we'll be together."

•Jump then fall

"I realise your laugh is the best sound I have ever heard."

"I like the way I can't keep my focus. I watch you talk, you didn't notice."

"Don't be afraid to jump then fall, jump then fall into me."

"When people say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you."

•Mirrorball

"Hush, I know they said the end is near, but I'm still on my tallest tiptoes."

"I'm a mirrorball, I can change everything about me to fit in."

"I'm still on that tightrope, I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me."

"I'm still a believer, but I don't know why. I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try."

Ayyo how are we all forgetting the women's rights movement of 2021 when our feminist icon rhysand chose not to tell his very pregnant wife that the birth would 100% kill her🤨🤨

He pretty much went around battling misogyny with his mountain shaking roars y'all could never-

okay but remember when Nikolai Lantsov said~"There had been a time when words had been the only place he could find solace. No book ever lost patience with him or told him to sit still."

And when Tessa Grey said~"One must always be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."

And when Feyre Archeron said~"I was burning through books every day - stories about people and places I'd never heard of. They were perhaps the only thing that kept me from teetering into utter despair."

And when Will Herondale said~"We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone."

And when Celaena Sardothien said~"I can survive well enough on my own- if given proper reading material."

“We say like calls to like, girl. But if the science is small enough, then we are like all things. The light lives in the spaces between. It is there in the soil of that mountain, in the rock and in the snow. The Cut is already made.”

“Zoya, say something spiteful.”

“Why?” she asked faintly.

“Because I’m fairly certain I’m hallucinating, and in my dreams you’re much nicer.”

“You’re an idiot, Nikolai.”

“Not your best work.”

“I’m sorry I can’t deliver better wordplay right now. I seem to be paralyzed with fear.”

Zoyalai might just be on their way to becoming my otp

"It’s weird because I always know things about people, gut feelings that usually lead me in more or less the right direction. I do think I got a gut feeling with you, I just didn’t have what I needed in my head to understand it. But I kind of kept chasing it anyway, like I was just going blindly in a certain direction and hoping for the best. I guess that makes you the North Star?"

If not this sort of vulnerable beautiful confession, what's the point🙄?
