shadow and bone is like. it's the worst show i've ever seen it's the best show i've even seen it's a bad adaptation it's fanfiction with a netflix budget it's better than i expected it's worse than i wanted it's pure fan service the acting is phenomenal the writing is terrible and the thing is it's all of these things. but also it's none of these things because most importantly shadow and bone is a vessel for freddy carter to give the performance of a lifetime

When Lorde said
“They’re gonna watch me disappear into the Sun, You’re all gonna watch me disappear into the Sun”
She was talking about gifted burnout kids. Girls who were praised and put on a pedestal for being smart and self-sufficient and extraordinary and who are now separated from the world because of it. They tell you you’re special so you start running but nobody is following you. Nobody is following you. When you look back nobody is watching you race.
Icarus flew to the Sun because they all said he could and then they abandoned him. Icarus flew to the Sun and he flew alone.

Me too
i loved to look at the skies
i used to paint my heart out
i loved writing to my heart's content
i used to do everything with burning passion
then the winds of anhedonia blew
the next thing i knew
i lost interest in everything that i loved to do
now i look at the skies
and wish the passion for the things i loved
would reignite like the smoldering skies
