sometimes I stop and think that heronstairs only lived together for 6 years and even so they cultivated the purest love for each other became family parabatai brothers like I love them so much

[hronstairs]

i think jem (always described as good and kind and soft) talking about his feelings and his love in a way that is actually rather selfish is so insane.

like... he wants something, he wants tessa and will and he wants them to himself. he feels for them in a way that is greedy and selfish, and its depicted so beautifully in perfect contrast with the pristine image and idea you usually have of jem.

the jem who is "nothing but goodness", the jem who is usually depicted and seen as racional and calm — is also a jem that loves to the fullest. a jem that wants his loved ones for himself and himself only, who only allows himself to be this selfish and greedy for them.

it adds so much to his character because it's this greediness, this love that is so strong and big, that helps him keep his humanity during his years in the brotherhood. as long as he remembered will and tessa, he would always be james carstairs. he would not be brother zachariah. he would always be their jem.

“I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.”

OK I’M READING CITY OF ASHES AND SIMON CALLING CLARY HIS >>>GIRLFRIEND<<< WTFFFFFF THIS IS SERIOUS??? DID I MISS SOMETHING?

Every time someone criticises Tessa Gray for marrying Jem 80 years after Will died, an angel loses its wings

YES !!!!!! soc is so much better than the grisha trilogy. I wanted to see the story of my crows being lived by the cast 😭

I'm just saying, the Six of Crows Spinoff would have made big money for Netflix. Likely even more than the first season of Shadow and Bone, just look at how highly rated Six of Crows is on Goodreads with a "95% liked this book" average score. As well as how hyped it is on BookTok and the fuck ton of fanart and fanfiction.

Constantly, I also think about how Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, Kit Young, Danielle Galligan, Calahan Skogman, and Jack Wolfe would have had a blast filming the Ice Court scenes. Just imagine the utter chaos in the bloopers and interviews. The insanity of the six of them (plus Kuwei!) clinging onto the side of a tank, four of them soaking wet, two covered in bits of glass and one in purple silks, and they're just storming through the snow while screaming "WE HAVE A TANK" at the top of their lungs.

I will cry now.

the fact Will and Jem only knew each other for 6 years, and were parabatai for even less, before they were separated and yet their bond was so strong that it inspired multiple different parabatai pairs is so

[hronstairs]

I finish tid and thought about continuing reading tsc in the chronological order. Could you give me some advice about it? If it's really worth it or should I read tmi before moving on to the other books?

Ps: it's my first time reading the books and I've already read city of bones.
