Kaz entering the Crow Club in the middle of a fight : stop what you are doing and clean this place right now

Pim: we are kind of in the middle of a life or death situation

Kaz: it will be only death if we don’t make an improvised surprise party in one hour counting from now

Anika: oh my, did you forgot his birthday again?

Kaz: Unfortunately, now hush before Jesper finds out

Keeg: why does he care so much?

Anika: oh you didn’t see last year what happened when Jesper came and Kaz forgot to make the birthday party

….

Jesper: One thing! ONE thing I asked Kaz! You remember where is every single hide out in this city but you can’t remember your friend’s birthday ONCE?

Wylan: Jesper,calm down…

Jesper: I am not calming down! Kaz, do you know when was the last time Wylan had a birthday party!

Wylan: there’s no need to…

Jesper: He was fucking seven! And you know what his father gave him as a gift?!

Wylan: please no…

Jesper: a dictionary!

Jesper: You better don’t forget Wylan’s birthday next year or so help me…!

…

Anika: And we were on a shooting that day, the dime lions were so appalled they just retired out of second hand embarrassed

Not at all, friend! I live for other peoples' thoughts on my obsessions!

There's something about the line "There's a girl I have to see," in ICHBW that just warms my insides. Because despite the years of travel and torture that Odysseus and Penelope faced while apart from each other, despite the dire circumstances under which they finally reunite, and despite the fact that Odysseus isn't even sure if she'll accept him at this point, their love is still there. Unchanged from when they were young. Despite all of that, she's still his girl.

"When you put art out into the world it no longer belongs to you"

I was told this so many times and didn't understand it until I wrote a song called 'Trouble' that I thought belonged to me. Turns out it actually belongs to six feral teenagers from a place called Ketterdam with a penchant for heists. Who knew, eh?

I'm like 90% sure that this is for aesthetic reasons rather than any analysis of their actual dynamics

every time kanej is compared to darklina i genuinely start glitching

I honestly think that “the gods are real, and they have kids, and those kids have ISSUES” is still the best description of the Riordanverse I’ve heard to-date.

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?

It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!

because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.

Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.

let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done

No fucking way that the literal, actual message of Crime and Punishment is "Go touch some grass,"

what do you mean this isn't what happened

Something that crossed my mind that I can't get out of my head.

I am now imagining these two in WYFILWMA with Inej being all "I'm no longer the person you loved. I've killed and manipulated and traded friends all to get back to you," and Kaz being like "You just described my daily 9-5, calm the fuck down, you're good,"

EPIC The Musical but with Kanej would work so well

what gave my brain the right to think of wylan when this song came on

i see your jesper fahey is a slut (affectionate) and raise you: jesper fahey is desperate to please and be wanted and cared for by someone so he relies on one night stands to get that for even a little bit from his partners but doesn't particularly care for sex and there are many nights when he and wylan just lay in bed together because it makes jesper feel loved
