everyone knows that the best romances begin by robbing a magician, tying him to your bed, and abusing his evil mystery rock 🙄🪨

2023 books a darker shade of magic by v.e. schwab (reread)

Magic was a living thing---that, everyone knew---but to Kell it felt like more, like a friend, like family. It was, after all, a part of him (much more than it was a part of most) and he couldn't help feeling like it knew what he was saying, what he was feeling, not only when he summoned it, but always, in every heartbeat and every breath. He was, after all, Antari.

I really love how separately Lila, Kell and Holland are literally the most powerful people between all worlds and also smart and resourceful and skilled but. You leave them together in a room for TEN MINUTES and disaster follows

ok finishing the shades of magic trilogy and the one thing i have to say about all the fan art i have seen so far is that holland doesn't look nearly tired enough. the man needs to look like he is a moment away from flinging himself into the sea. he needs to look like he's 5 minutes away from his next smoke break.

this is holland to me.

I really do love that all three Antari have the most severe attitude problems. They’re all so bitchy and I just adore it.

i’m hoping someone out there is familiar with both adsom and arcane because hear me out, holland/kell/lila as viktor/jayce/mel 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️

I will never be over it.

I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.

A life worth living is a life worth taking.

Not every past is worth holding on to.

The world is full of cycles. Perhaps our time will come again.

Life isn't made of choices. It's made of trades. Some are good. Some are bad. But they all have a cost.

Myths do not happen all at once.

I love Holland's faith in Kell being good, and how he uses it to push through with his not every good plans. Like in A Darker Shade of Magic when he knew that Kell would come back to save Lila even through how much she protested that he didn't care about her. Or in A Gathering of Shadows, when he hears from Ojka that Kell ran away, Holland is confident that he will come back because he always does. This is a great antagonist/protagonist relationship if I've ever seen one.

Not really the same but I really like the detail of how when Ojka asks him who the collar is for, Holland says "an old friend."
