a wonderful caricature of intimacy

by eliotcardale

“Deny, deny, deny,” Victor murmured, and then, took a step closer, cocking an eyebrow. “Are you really that afraid that I might be right?”

Ironically enough, that, Eli did not deny. He instead countered with a question of his own. “What makes you think my faith is blind?”

i feel like people completely misunderstand addie. like no, she didn't fight in a war or do something so drastically incredible with her life, she spent her time trying to leave a mark on the world - but isn't that what so many of us long to do? writing "___ was here" in concrete, posting things on social media, creating businesses that will hopefully out-live us. people seem to limit her to the bland storyline and 'pick-me-ism', and that's a valid opinion, but i disagree. life itself is not going to always be exciting. what addie does is continue to live, not just survive, ignoring the hollowness that could just as easily swallow her up. she romanticises her life, that is true, but what is wrong with that? she is making the best of the bad cards she got dealt. she can still appreciate the art in the world, she can still enjoy the sunshine and good food and lovely music. she did not let bitterness suffocate her; she made a life out of it

shout out to @e-b-reads and @beardedbookdragon for the recent open tags! i am inflicting this on paying this forward to @asexualbookbird and @alloreli (who i warned), and to @sixofravens-reads (who i did not).

I doodled Maximum Ride abt a month ago and totally forgot to post it. I tried to draw her EXACTLY as I imagined her when I read the books in 2008

Currently thinking abt Kell lifting an eyebrow, raising his chin, imitating Alucard and going “Excuse me, I’m a privateer.”
