#I know these are YA books

"Mal changed in R&R so why do you still hate him?"

My dear random stranger, his "change" is reminiscent of those Wattpad fanfictions where the good girl gets into a car crash after having a fight with her abusive boyfriend and the boyfriend feels so guilty that he miraculously changes and becomes a beloved husband forever.

Mal's change was magically written by Bardugo as if abusive men change out of guilt or fear. How am I supposed to believe such a god-sent transformation and how can I know that it will last?

Malina is not only the most toxic pairing for Alina but also the stupidest one thanks to the author's attempts to patch up her past wrongdoings.

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Other YA characters taking down their enemies: massive scale magical fight scenes, complex good vs evil moral conversations, love triangles, tragedy

Finally finished picking at this one :) all three kisses in S3 P1 are so Iconic in their own ways, but this is THEE Kiss imo

If I had a nickel for every time I re-hashed this specific painting--

More versions and close-up under the cut! Click for better quality! Y'all know the drill :)

A nice juicy closeup :) the linework was super fun, but definitely got a little lost in the big picture

And a few different versions - moon+lamps, just moonlight, and just flat. I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I'm posting them all lol

Thanks for looking this far! May we all be strong enough to last until P2.

i still think a lot about how technically, it's implied Anubis and Walt started dating each other before they asked out Sadie, and if Sadie had said she wasn't interested they would have gone "Entirely fair have a nice day" and proceed to just go continue to date each other.

Cause like, that was the entire thing. They decided that themselves. That things would work best if they were together (as in both physically sharing a body and also relationship-wise). The "asking Sadie about it" part was secondary. If she had said no, they would have stayed together, because among other things Walt would kind of die if they didn't. Walt and Anubis are technically the first gay couple in the Riordanverse. AND they're in a polyamorous relationship with Sadie. Why does no one talk about them ever.

Average Tumblr/Twitter user's extent of knowledge when it comes to reading books intended for people older than 12 boil down to simply "sad people having affairs". Like have you not read anything other than children's/YA lit and fanfiction?
