I need that old, rich man to be put through the horrors of his toddler twin daughters doing his make up/hair/nails

this is sooo cute im squealing… one of them coming to you with one of those tacky claire’s eyeshadow palettes and a bag of hair accessories like i wanna give dada a makeover, and you grin so wide it hurts like i think that’s a great idea, baby. i think you’d both be a little scared of arming your three year olds with nail polish, so you entrust that to a five-year-old alanis, who has a little more control over her fine motor skills. matty looks fucking scared, all four of his girls approaching him with matching grins and glitter in their hands.

but he indulges them in everything, so he doesn’t resist when they pounce; fiona takes a fistful of his hair and he winces, gently taking her wrist and murmuring gentle hands, fi, remember? alanis grabs one of his hands, holding up two bottles of nail polish. pink or green, dad? he pretends to think hard before settling on pink, her little tongue poking out as she unscrews the cap and sets to work.

when vera approaches him with an eyeshadow palette, matty looks up at you in fear, the idea of his three-year-old waving a stick near his eyes frankly terrifying. so you take her hand to guide her, reminding her gentle, okay, darling? we don’t want to hurt dada, do we? the three of them work on him excitedly until alanis bossily declares we’re finished, he’s pretty now, and you have to fight to contain your laughter. matty’s hair is filled with heart-shaped clips and sparkly bows, sticking up at every angle, his eyelids splotched silver and purple with waxy, hot-pink lipstick decorating his mouth and nose. obviously, you take approximately a million pictures, the babas smiling proudly at their creation, matty hanging his head with a laugh.

he’s still brushing glitter out of his hair a week later <3

The eastern suburbs of Newport where "all the hipsters live" (according to Christian) The streets are a little grungy and you'll get a whiff of rotten trash on every corner but it's home to the best coffee in the city, a vibrant mix of culture and many, many neighbourhood (or perhaps just lost) cats.

No but like do you see the vision. Come on

one thing i always loved about fnl compared to other teen dramas is how the absence of parents is realistically deeply tragic and has a profound traumatic effect on characters and isnt just a matter of convenience for teens to run around town unsupervised

digging my teeth into the really dark fascinating fucked-upness of helnik. they’re fascinating in being a wartime love story about an intentional victim of genocidal violence and an unintentional fuck-around-and-find-out victim of “collateral damage,” both of which are different forms of wartime violence. 

nina is targeted as a grisha, she’s almost killed by the druskelle and fjerda in the books not for being a ravkan spy or agent but simply for being grisha. they will kill her for being grisha. and how will they kill her? they will burn her. and it’s fascinating when she tells matthias in a very justified moment of rage (i mean. they’re looking at the dying burned corpses of her people whom jesper, also a grisha, had to physically shoot) and says i want your family to burn i want them all to be burnt in the way my people were. and matthias says, they already have been. they already burned. and how that changes the entire dynamic between them, everything leading up to that, becuase FUCK. yeah. his whole family has already been burnt. he’s a lone survivor of something in much the same way she is, and his family was burnt not on purpose for being grisha but as a “justified accident,” the casual civilian side-damage of war. and it was her people. unlike the intentional, systemic violence that destroyed her people and left nina a shaken, traumatised survivor of a purposeful genocide, we have matthias as this destroyed survivor of one of those little sorts of accidents that’s swallowed and justified by the shape of the war and what Must Be Done to succeed. (also he serves as like, one of the only times i think it’s really faced that the first army is, you known, a national army that does national-army-during-a-war things.) one does not cancel out the other. 

their relationship is difficult and fucked and that’s why it’s fascinating and has so much potential to explore. it’s so much more complicated than the tiktok “enemies to lovers” trope because they dig right at the base of what it is to be an enemy to someone else. from the ship nina is an almost-lone survivor of the damage his people did. from his village being burnt by inferni matthias is a lone survivor of the damage her people did. from the consequences of war on his people and violent prejudice against her own, nina is raised a child soldier and in many ways reduced to weaponry, something that absolutely is a form of child abuse. from the consequences of war on her people matthias is inducted into a cult and subjected to spiritual abuse. they’ve been hurt by each other’s nations, but also by their own. there’s something so brutal but also tender in the way they knock each other off the orbits they’ve been living in and force them out of the home that is burning. love may make you free, but not without drowning first.
