can you believe that Wymack heard Kayleigh say Kevin wasn’t his, pop out with a baby in exactly nine months and then saw that same boy on television a decade later, same black hair as his, same complexion, bone structure, height, and literally just went “damn crazy coincidence, what could have been… anyway”

I like the expression new-fangled. I don't know what it means for something to be fangled, but I sure as hell know it was recent

My favorite type of guy is a vicious combination of sarcasm and malicious compliance. Also gay

coincidentally, the last panel is what their brains end up looking like after all the stress they put them through over the course of the book

Rereading Winter's Orbit and like, yeah, it's a fantastic romance space politics murder mystery BUT ALSO

The Bear.

"What kind of bear has fur?"

Kiem. Kiem. I love you but there is something very wrong with your planet.

one of the things i really appreciate about winter's orbit is how it shows that just because an abusive relationship is over, it doesn't mean that the victim is no longer affected. even though he knows his abuser can never hurt him again, the relationship has changed him. it's changed how he sees the world, and what he expects from his current partner. it shows how he was isolated from his support system, and how hard it is for him to start rebuilding those relationships.

and more than that, it shows the healing! it shows how his current partner works to meet him where he is, how his current partner makes space for him in his life, and encourages him to do what he wants.

it's really lovely, and i highly recommend it!

I made some Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell memes, because I think my favourite thing about the book was the names of the wildlife not actually fitting the descriptions of the wildlife lmao

Because everyone's asleep and nobody can stop me: Jainan doesn't have social media and doesn't want to. Kiem does but is no longer allowed to run his own official accounts after the 'it was just a framing mistake and anyway I had a towel sort of on' incident.
