i love magic and all things that don't exist. no matter how many tv shows or films i watch nothing can quite replicate the feeling that i feel inside when i'm reading a book. it's as if i'm gazing through a window inside a whole new world unknown to reality. nothing makes my imagination run as wild as reading a good book does.

i decided i want to read more in 2025 and i started with a darker shade of magic by v. e. schwab. i love the idea of alternate worlds and the three londons in this book are so different but also very much the same. i loved the characters. the banter between kell and prince rhy was amusing and it made me laugh which is my favourite kind of dynamic between characters. the same goes for kell and lila. they had a lot of funny moments especially at the beginning when they had first met. lila was my favourite character. i loved how she was unafraid to go headfirst into adventure not knowing if she would ever be able to return (if she even wanted to lmao). she was really observant and clever, figuring early on that the stone from black london was more dangerous than it presented itself to be.

and holland just pissed me off such a little bitch i hope he died.

anyway i can't wait to read the second book in the trilogy. i'm excited where the story will go and how the characters develop. I hope we get to see more rhy. maybe the duo will become a trio and go to black london together. or maybe somewhere safe where nobody dies.

i made this moodboard. i realised i love making them so im going to be making one for each book i read. im re-reading the raven cycle next.

all these arguments about the new harry potter casting but all i can think is that every person involved in the series has willingly signed up to work with such an outspoken transphobe

“So Will and Jem are training, perhaps, getting all sweaty, and the training turns into a little mock tussling and they fall to the floor, Jem on top of Will, and exchange a long look, and then Jem leans in for a long kiss.. The weapons fall to the floor, unneeded…”

@CassieClare wrote this mini slash snippet for me to draw. I am having way too much fun. While Sarah and Maureen completely ask for this stuff too (I’m not letting y’all off the hook!)

just remembered Emma's mom was a Townsend... help does that mean she's related to Catherine & her deadly face card 😭 she may have only gotten five mentions per book but that didn't stop her mere experience ending like three different relationships lmao

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
