Two things I want more of:

1. Rosales family lore

2. More info about Kieran’s brothers

Kit: I don’t know sometimes I feel unsafe here

Kieran, half watching two of his brothers beat the shit out of each other: I don’t know what you mean

I don’t think Kierarktina was made as wish fulfillment for Herongraystairs shippers

I know there were many Herongraystairs shippers who wanted them to be poly (and that’s very valid), and CC adding a throuple in her next series gives a certain idea.

But honestly, I see Kierarktina get a lot of criticism for not being a “good successor” to Herongraystairs and I think that’s unfair to them (coming from someone who’s favorite relationship in TSC is Herongraystairs).

I love Herongraystairs because of how selfless their love is. They’re as beautiful as a fairytale and their maturity when handling their emotions is so admirable.

I like Kierarktina because they’re messy and selfish and not the most mature. It took them time, and they figured it out but it’s ok that these teenagers/mental & physical equivalents of teens weren’t flawless.

If you don’t like it, that’s ok, but to me the complicated intricacies of their relationship make them interesting to me in their own way.

The idea of Mark influencing Cristina as a person before she ever met him and being immediately smitten when she does, Mark being like “I have a bf that I love but let’s bone because you’re pretty” and being in denial at first his feelings are deeper than that, Kieran being so love starved he ends up hurting people Mark loves because he’d do anything to keep him, Cristina kissing Mark thinking she was drunk, Mark saving Kieran because he still loved him despite not forgiving him and then lying to Kieran because he needed him, Kieran swearing fealty to Cristina because he’s petty lmho, Kieran being jealous of the binding spell and purposely kissing Mark in front of Cristina, Mark dancing with Cristina and Kieran being like “let me show you how to do it right” and then giving Cristina a kiss on the cheek, Mark lying to Cristina about not having a steel when they were about to do it, Kieran kissing the Hawthorn lady and both Mark & Cristina being upset by it, etc.

The Drama! I love it. Yes, I know most of it is Kieran being messy but he’s also such a romantic he makes up for it.

Kieran in SOBH is so fucking funny. Signing off his letters with things like “Hail Kraig”, and dropping lines like this:

“Let us remind our Court that we are the Moon, as the Seelie Court is the Sun; rather than that they are Beauty, and we Tackiness.”

[blqckthorne]

great day to remember that kierarktina. that is all. just them.

This made me remember how Emma was Kierans #1 hater 😭😭

Lady of Roses,

Though the Scholomace is cold, and Diego is boring, I am still grateful that you found enough value in my life to save it. You are as kind as you are beautiful. My thoughts are with you.

Kieran.

"Why did he send you this?" Emma handed the note back to Cristina, shaking her head. "It's weird. He's so weird!"

"I think he just wanted to thank me for the escape plan," Cristina protested. "That's all."

"Faeries don't like thanking people," said Emma. "This is a romantic note."

Cristina blushed. "It's just the way faeries talk. It doesn't mean anything."

"When it comes to faeries," Emma said darkly, "everything means something."

For me it's very funny this. All we have known about the Seelie Court and Unseelie Court its they fight for ruling and power.

But then Cassie shown us Kieran, who doesn't want to rule but had to; Ash, who I feel doesn't care about the throne either and he is chilling; and Kit, who DEF doesn't want to rule and its in fact in a retire to hide from the faeries land while sobbing about Ty.

Like is someone else joining the crew? Cause this motherfuckers are not fighting for that throne. No, I retract myself, they will be fighting to give the throne away to each other.

If Kieran dies in TLKOF I will commit several crimes

At some point during TWP, I want Kit, Ash, and Kieran to all end up in the same room and have some whack-ass conversation trying to figure out how they’re all related. Purely for comedic purposes. Like “So, your father and your mother-slash-my six times great-grandmother were together, until they decided they hated each other…”

[poetpony6890]

Alec trying to joke back around with Kieran : at least my dad didn’t have a problem keeping it in his pants

Kieran dead serious: I’m not signing the accords.
