#phoebe and silas

[romajuliettemai]

Silas is so adorable it's pathetic he's literally obsessed with two people who are secretly one and the same

He deserves a million hugs

[romajuliettemai]

If that happens, it was nice knowing you! 🫡

If I disappear this week and never appear again, assume that there was a Philas it's nice to have a friend reference in fhh (real or my delusions), and I combusted on site.

for you forgetful sss fans [ me ]

currently thinking about the line from romeo and juliet “what's in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.” and janie's actual name being rosalind

and orion not giving a shit about rosalind or janie because when he looses his memories he doesn't know rosalind's name and she is just someone whom he knew he loved and he didn't a name to know that 🥹

I've finally finished foul lady fortune and foul heart hunstmen (book slump of 2 & 1/2 years)

Alisa is my favourite thing to come out of the universe.

they're all my babies

need a Celia and Oliver novella

PHOEBE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER OCCUPIES MY MINDDDD

worldbuilding is fantastic I have known this since I read these violent delights.

Marshall and Orions little tryst was so unexpected YET SO ON BRAND IM OBSESSED

Rosalind telling Orions father shit was one of my favourite moments like HE JOINED A FACTION RIVALING HIS BROTHERS TO HELP YOU.

I love how none of them have healthy parental relationships i feel so seen.

Celia and Alisas sisterly relationship is the best thing ever.

I love how when Rosalind spotted Alisa at Seagreen there was an immediate understanding of trust.

Phoebe being Priest was foreshadowed throughout foul lady fortune and I feel so dumb for not seeing it (I could go into this)

Phoebe Hong I have never felt more seen by a character.

Orion and Rosalind have left me pacing my room, screaming acting like a complete maniac throughout the dualogy and they will never not occupy my mind.

Chloe gong is probably one of the best authors whose work I've read she's so good at foreshadowing and weaving plot twists I could ramble on and on.

The atmosphere of the duologies is so perfect, she captures the bustling city, political climate and society of the place at the time PEFECTLY.

I don't think I'll ever get over the secret shanghai universe it'll forever have a special place in my heart. I've loved this book series and these characters since I was like 14 and i BEG FOR A SPECIAL EDITION TO BE RELEASED IN SOUTH AFRICA OMF

on biting the hand til it bleeds. on showing all your teeth. on raised hackles and the jagged-mouthedness of grief

welcome to the secret shanghai hunger games!! may the odds be ever in your favour

The bloodbath:

Biblically accurate romajuliette

secret shanghai tumblr pre-fhh would've been cheering her name. i think we still will because we support womens wrongs

!! the inlaws are fighting!!

WHAT DID I TELL YOU??? ENEMIES TO LOVERS FTW

things not looking so good for the benmars stans (me)

cousins alliance ig??

GUYSSS TELL ME THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN FLF. but also. rip to rosalind's and silas' headaches from celia and orion arguing the entire time

take the L. no one press F to pay respects

TAKE THE FUCKING L DIMITRI. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A BITCH

this hurts even more when you read it as tvd/ove alisa

PLEASE GUYS SILAS ABANDONED THEM FOR PHOEBE HONG THAT'S SO ICONIC. also literally both of these groups are "i can't believe that it's finally me and you and you and me just us and your friend STEVE" except fuck paul he's no one's friend

Literally only the montagovs have kills by the end of day 1. that's actually so iconic of them

Day 2:

THE GASP I JUST GUSPED. FUCKING TRAITORRRRR

Did you mean: the OVE epilogue?

the inlaws are getting along again~ <3

GIRL YOU'RE SUCH A BACKSTABBER. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ALLIANCE???

Did you mean: Rosalind Lang for the duration of flf and fhh?

Day 3:

sibling behaviour honestly

Did you mean: Orion's brainwashing arc?

LVC couple are dead </3 also what an oregon trail type death lmao what

NOOOOOO

w- what happened to their alliance in between day 2 and night 3

Day 4:

NOOOOOOO COME ON SILAS YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT

what i'm hearing is that the tvd duology would've been over in 5 chapters if they just gave phoebe a gun (she would've been 12 years old)

that one scene in the flf duology

NOOOOO. that resurrection button is looking highly clickable rn

Day 5:

and what if i said that rosalind would actually do this if roma posed a threat to orion's life-

i suddenly really don't like our last two contestants

Day 6:

hot girl shit

Day 7:

was it the sprained ankle orion???

CONGRATULATIONS TO ROSALIND

[writergracethepanda]

Silas: Yeah, a partner sounds nice, but a supreme enemy you can make out with in secret sometimes sounds a lot more hardcore.

[questioning-pisces]

on wednesday i met chloe gong (!!!!) and asked her to assign each of the foul lady fortune characters a taylor swift song. someone after me asked to assign each book a song or album. here are her spoiler free answers:

rosalind: right where you left me in flf, BUT was wonderland in these violent delights. is now long story short

orion: the archer (ofc but also him and rosalind are as well)

phoebe: mirrorball

celia: very folklore. this is me trying

oliver: the red album. bc he will cry to it but also bc he’s a communist but probably treacherous

silas: evermore or champagne problems. would sing you’re losing me to phoebe and she would get annoyed

alisa: look what you made do

transition between tvd and tve: my years ricochet

a foul thing: call it what you want

this foul murder: this love

foul lady fortune: right where you left me as a whole

foul heart huntsman: daylight live from paris

[romajuliettemai]

Oh and by the way, to all my people who are super excited for the Phoebe Silas content, Chloe had officially claimed a while back that it was her fav ship to write about and it was making a bigger appearance in FHH. It's in Simonteen's LVC live which I linked farther down below but I'll link it here as well. I just remembered this because I was rewatching the live yesterday after not having seen it for a while, and I thought this tidbit of info was pretty important for all of our Pheobe Silas angst + ship enthusiasts on here!

Given that I have so many edits in my mind but there isn't a screen adaptation of the Secret Shanghai books (or even a sign of one), I may have to retreat from the age of editing and teach myself how to animate so I can instead make. animatics.

[calla-tuoleimi]

secret shanghai characters as tortured poets department titles (based purely on vibes since it's not out yet)

juliette: guilty as sin? roma: down bad rosalind: i can do it with a broken heart orion: loml oliver: so long london phoebe: fresh out the slammer silas: i can fix him (no really i can) marshall: florida!!!

(bonus) lourens: the alchemy

[clowningcrows]
