i love once upon a time and how they blew all their budget on casting and costumes and left absolutely none for the cgi 😌

when life gets hard, I simply rewatch that one tv show from the 2010s with 5+ seasons and 20+ episodes per season

I really relate to Killian Jones because honestly I don’t think I could handle it either

there’s nothing more mind boggling in this world than trying to figure out the ouat family tree.

one side of this post is the costume design from a big-budget theatrical film meant to live up to the hype of the first animated film ever made for wide-release and another side of this post is the costume design from an abc soap opera where dwarves hatch from eggs and i think you guys will kill me if i tell you which is which

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

ugh. the girlish urge to fall in with a group of flawed yet lovable misfits that have all found family in each other.

i’m convinced that people who’ve read six of crows and say they didn’t like it are just bad people. like sure it’s a book about criminal outcasts, but it also teaches you about friendship and loyalty and the truest, rawest kinds of love so like respectfully, what tf is wrong with you?
