Please try and tell me that the montage hotel is not literally the ski lodge from frostbite…

I will always support women's wrongs (Rosemarie Hathaway running away from school not once but twice the first time essentially consensually kidnapping the last living member of a royal family the second time travelling to Siberia to kill a murderous vampire because she had been in love with him, breaking an evil revolutionary out of prison and then losing him in Las Vegas, breaking HERSELF out of prison, calling the queen a bitch to her face)

The Idea of You...

but pop phenom Henry x aspiring singer-songwriter Alex (or Hayes x Marco if you will)

[aspiring-to-be]

Who CARES if The Idea of You is going to be a bit cringey??? It’s Anne fucking Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine making out and having fun and it’s based on a book that was 1D fanfiction!!! It’s not supposed to be groundbreaking emotionally transcendent cinema!!! It’s a bit of FUN!!! Of course it’s gonna get a bit cringey!

BRING BACK ROMCOMS WITH AN ELEMENT OF CRINGE!!! IT’S WHAT WE NEED!!! LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN AGAIN! NOT EVERY FILM HAS TO BE A STATEMENT! LET THE PRETTY MAN FALL IN LOVE WITH THE LADY AND GET OVER YOURSELVES

Bloodlines Book 3 Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

Illustration Chapter 25

After looking in almost all the interior areas, I stepped into the outer peristyle. My breath caught. It was a huge outdoor garden built around a pool that had to be at least two hundred feet long. Statues and fountains dotted the pool's surface and the whole space was surrounded in gorgeously manicured trees and other plants. The sun, warm despite the December day, shone down on everything, and the air hummed with birdsong, splashing water, and soft conversation. Tourists milled around, stopping to admire the sights or take pictures. None of them mattered though -- not when I finally found the person I was looking for.

He sat at the opposite end of the garden from where I'd entered, on the pool's far edge. His back was to me, but I would have known him anywhere.

“Since when are you involved with magic?” “Since I started looking after you and being all manly and brave.” “Funny, I don’t remember it that way.“ I worked to keep a straight face. “If you think about all the rides I gave you, me getting you into college… well, it kind of seems like I’m looking after you.” He leaned toward me. “I guess we look after each other.”

A million thoughts seemed to cross his mind, none of which he wanted to share. At last he shook his head in exasperation.

"Isn't it obvious, Sage? No, of course it isn't. I did it so I'd have a reason to be around you--one that I knew you couldn't refuse. "

I was more confused than ever. "But... why? Why would you want to do that?"

"Why?" he asked. "Because it was the closest thing I could get to doing this--"

He almost smiled. "There you go again. Why? Why do you keep helping me?"

There were a million answers on my lips, everything from 'its the right thing to do' to 'I don't know.' Instead, I said, "Because I want to."

This time I got a true smile from him, but there was something dark and introspective about it. He shifted closer to me again. "Because you feel bad for this crazy guy?"

"You aren't going to go crazy," I said firmly. "You're stronger than you think. The next time you feel that way, find something to focus on, to remind you of who you are."

"Like what? Got some magic object in mind?"

"Doesn't have to be magic," I said. I racked my brain. "Here." I unfastened the golden cross necklace. "This has always been good for me. Maybe it'll help you." I set it in his hand, but he caught hold of mine before I could pull back.

This whole scene ends me. For the record.

Supernatural + what fourth wall?

It's only been a few days, but the truth is Henry missed him too. He supposes he should be used to empty beds and time differences by now, especially when they began that way, but he suspects he'll never stop waiting at the door. — RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE (Collector's Edition, Page 389)

Leo Woodall looks more like Adrian Ivashkov in One Day than he ever did in the show...

Fuck you, Julie Plec.

Thrilled to share this artwork I created for the endpapers of a new German edition of Vampire Academy! This series holds such a nostalgic place in my heart and I still love my bad ass girl Rose. 😊
