#my Taylor Swift savior of sanity song of the day😅😂

[acourtofquestions]

Vigilante Shit but make it Aelin & Lysandra in QoS:

Draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man

— Has there ever been a more “Aelin Sardothien” get ready song? 🔪💅🏻

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them

— *coughs* I’m/Celaena/Lysandra looking/death-glaring at you Arobynn☠️

Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie

— The dinner, the girls glancing through the vaults, the note passed & right given

They say looks can kill and I might try; I don't dress for women, I don't dress for men; Lately I've been dressing for revenge

— THE DRAGON DRESS 💛🐉👑🖤

I don't start it but I can tell you how it ends

— she’s the one they send in last because it’s one & done. THAT’s what she was trained to be… but it’s not what she becomes… not when Aelin starts waging her own wars

Don't get sad, get even

— for so long her rage was her vice, her sanity, her only way to keep “the monster” tightly leashed even while sleeping under the same roof as her enemy (like she; Aelin, told Rowan)

So on the weekends, I don't dress for friends, Lately I've been dressing for revenge

— the almond oil, combs of gold & hidden daggers, the dragon dress; for the woman she became (the heir of fire) the golden queen, no longer Celaena ‘an Assassin in a gilded cage’ & never to live in Rifthold the same, she enters the Keep for the last times with the monikers for the last time; she AND her court, leaving with even more (Lysandra) & heavily she enters to finish the final dealings for no one but (“her beloved dead” marked on her back) & for once; HERSELF; and as Aelin leaves merely masquerading like Celaena but no longer “Adarlan’s Assassin” (never to be again)

She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some

— crying then talking about 🩵Wesley💙&🩶Sam🖤

She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?

— literally Lysandra handing Aelin THE letter (aka envelope)💔

Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride

— 😏Celaena strolling into the Keep the very last time, as they read out the will of Arobynn Hamel💰

Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife

— Arobynn never expecting the two girls he pinned as enemies against each-other, to grow into women who go “huh that seems dumb” become besties & destroy him together; but that’s Karma for ya😘😘 (sry wrong song ;-)

And she looks so pretty

— the two of them in wigs & gowns, sneaking into balls, & shifting forms/blazing fire on the weeks of travel “home”

Driving in your Benz

— Aelin & Lysandra in the getaway carriage after saving Aedion & setting the first trap for Arobynn

Lately she's been dressing for revenge

— Lysandra taking the hidden note, then the stiletto under the pillow, then the final moment & blood on her hands

She don't start it, but she can tell you how it ends

— Lysandra was not the one ‘trained to kill’, but she was a storm within skin, a wolf masquerading as less; one that would die clawing for the ones she loves, for justice, for more

Don't get sad, get even

— the only sanity she (Lysandra) had waiting for Celaena/Aelin to come back someday

So on the weekends, She don't dress for friends, Lately she's been dressing for revenge

— Lysandra even as she becomes hundreds of people with the same face; for every ‘client’, every terrible thing done; so she can save THEM, Evangeline, get-out, or at least live out Wesley’s last wishes

Ladies always rise above

— “I knew you were a good woman” “No, I’m not. But Nehemia was.”

Ladies know what people want; Someone sweet and kind and fun

— every game you see the two of them play (& most women know; the ‘you’d be pretty if you smiled’ moments of nauseating fury & blaring all American bitch) … Aelin watching Lysandra in the vaults wondering how she stomachs ever sweet smile & ‘naive’ glance away from trouble; sleeping in the bed of the one she hates most; realizing she deserves justice even more than anyone

The lady simply had enough

— each of them in the final moment when it snapped into place: when Celaena decided she would not die in Endovier, when she made the list on the boat back to Rifthold, and when he tried to use the ring on her (to use her) … when he paid for Lysandra’s bid, when he took her only friend (Sam died), when Celaena was sent into slavery, when Wesley died (for trying to right it); when she saved Evangeline… when Aelin handed the FINAL note; and when she took it (& all the weight it holds)

While he was doing lines, And crossing all of mine

— every moment Lysandra had to sit & smile & make believe, crying as he slept soundly … when he hurts her for saving people, when she learns he hurt Sam too, when she unleashes the truth of the betrayal, when he makes her say she loves him

Someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI

— all of his Vaults & ‘investments’ being found by Adarlan soldiers, every enemy turned in, the friend she waved to so there was an alibi to prove his betrayals, & seal his demise; losing ‘clients’, money, name, credibility, everything & the end

And I don't dress for villains

— no longer the “King’s Champion” or ‘Assassin/for-hire’; no longer tattooed with the brand; they are BOTH finally free

Or for innocents

— how will they feel when they know their queen of assassins? her court of “whores”? “I will not enter my home again as someone else” all THOSE scenes “your queen is an assassin who appoints common whores to serve her” “What else is there to say, Princess? Do you think the people of Terrasen will be glad to have a queen who served their enemy? Who shared a bed with the son of their enemy?” “There is no one else l'd want guarding my back. If my people cannot see the worth of a woman who sold herself into slavery for the sake of a child, who defended my court with no thought for her own life, then they are not my people. And they can burn in hell.”

I'm on my vigilante shh again

— them and all their ongoing plans; the dragon, & becoming something new, a ghost leopard court; while staying true to them & their words, their REAL friendship (they both desperately needed the honesty) & what THEY make it to be together
