“We kissed as if we could stop the earth turning, as if we were enemies as well as lovers, as if we'd never see each other again.”

[aliciagaliano]

This is literally what goes on AHDJSJSB THEY'RE FINE

The last 20 pages of The Binding be like:

[mintmentos]

The constant wearing each others clothes, the ring in the bottom of the box calling out to emmett, the rose from the courtyard and the rose at the wedding, the unsettling feeling of memories of a relationship compared to the new memories meeting that person as if for the first time and having these coexist

Round 1, bracket 5

Propaganda under the cut, feel free to add more in reblogs and comments

One Last Stop – August moves to NYC to escape her mother trying to solve the case of her missing brother (August’s uncle), finding an apartment with so many friendly people. On her subway commute, she notices a girl who rocks a vintage 70s outfit and starts to feel things for her. Jane. After a few conversations during her commute on the Q train (which Jane seems to always be on), she realises that Jane is literally from the 1970s, taken out of time. August’s life is filled with mysteries all over again, but this time she’s invested.

The Binding – In Emmett’s world, books aren’t just fantasy, they’re reality. Book binders take people’s memories and place them inside books, stealing these memories forever. A small, local book binder summons Emmett as an apprentice after he recovers from an illness brought on by trauma. He starts as an apprentice and slowly recovers and is only forbidden from entering the library, where all the books are kept. But one day, a man named Lucian Darnay arrives to see Emmett’s master, but upon seeing Emmett, he recognises the man instantly.

Lucian Darnay

I read “The Binding” by Bridget Collins last month and it’s been living rent-free  in my head ever since, so of course I had to paint something.

a doodle of Emmett and Lucian, the main characters from Bridget Collins’ incredible book The Binding — give it a read if you haven’t !!

It makes me laugh every single time Emmett misinterprets desire for disgust.

The way Lucian stares at me? Hatred. This tight feeling in my chest when I see him? Anger. I can't believe he would rescue this puppy and show me his favourite part of the forest because he despises me so much.

Lucian was trying so hard to get Emmett to like him and Emmett was just like "I don't know, you've got bad vibes."

The Binding

i started reading ‚The Binding‘ by Bridget Collins (for your information I’m at page 138 (the first proper meeting between Lucian and Emmett)) and so far I am in love.

I got in to the book completely blind, I know nothing about what’s going to happen, although I feel somehow anxious because I can see a sort of tragedy coming.

However the book is amazing so far. I love emmett, de Havilland is somehow getting on my nerves but I guess we’ll see

i wanted to draw the bindery and figured i might attempt the people too

[xluminaheart]

messed up idea: “you only want me ‘cause you want my sister” but it’s a the binding animatic

Emmett PoV probably but honestly it applies to Alta more than anyone…

[outlawadvocate]
