Me: so what would you do if an evil king had trapped me in a deal to marry him because I had tried to trick him and then as punishment he killed everyone I loved or he would never let me return to my body that he had hidden somewhere in his castle that is only visible in its true form on full moons?

My partner: what the fuck is happening in the book you’re reading right now?

MARRISA MEYER WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS HELLO?? IF NOT ENDGAME WHY SM CHEMISTRY??? WHY BEING VULNERABLE???

“His lips tilted to one side, but there was an unusual sadness as he peered back at her. “I want us to understand each other. I understand why you lied to me. Just as I understand you are more than your lies.”

At these words, the strangest warmth flooded through Serilda, spreading out until it reached her fingers and toes.

You are more than your lies.

The Erlking tipped his chair toward hers. “In the same way that you are not your god-gift … In the same way that you are not your mother or your father … We are not the vices that created us.”

She held his gaze a long time, debating whether or not to say the words that rose to the surface. In the end, she couldn’t help it. “So,” she said slowly, “you haven’t stabbed your arrows into the flesh of helpless mortals? And … you haven’t murdered children simply because they became inconvenient to you?” She shook her head. “Are you truly trying to convince me that you are not evil?”

She had not noticed that a wall between them had been opening up until it came crashing down once more. The Erlking slumped back in his chair and trailed his fingertip along the stem of his glass. “Forgive me for thinking you might understand.”

“When she talked, she could hardly keep herself from telling the most outlandish tales, as though her tongue could not tell the difference between truth and falsehoods. She began to trade in stories and lies herself, and while the other children delighted in her tales—so full of whimsy and enchantment—the elders knew better.”

Okay so I got Cursed (the second book in Marissa Meyer’s Gilded Duology) literally the day it came out, but I haven’t had much time to read it (we’re moving lol, so ✨packing panic ✨) until yesterday and BOY OH BOY. I won’t post spoilers yet cause 1) that’s mean and 2) I’m only like 80 pages in as of rn so I haven’t even hit the deep part yet but jESUS CHRIST.

Anyway, have this incorrect quote I thought up cause it’s low key true (even though we already know the “or what” cause of the first book lmao):

Erlking: Poltergeist! Show yourself, do not ignore me!

Gild: Or WHAT? WHAT will you do? I’m already in hell!

[scarredpineapple]

Serilda: Are you done yet?

Erkling: With what, darling?

Serilda: Being a fucking bitch boy

Gild: *pokes head through random door* Yeah cause we’ve been ready to leave for a while now

[nats-fancy-tumbler]

Serilda: Gild, darling, you need to stop your inflating the economy.

Gild, frantically spinning everything into gold: but Serildaaa I have to have a hobby.

Cursed (Gilded #2), Marissa Meyer [thoughts]

[mai-with-an-i]

Logic???????

I loved the gilded duology but I feel like all logic and reason and logic flew out the window. Somehow a ghost impregnated Serilda, and then The Erlking wants to convince the court the baby is his which means he impregnated a ghost and somehow the entire court believes that??? And somehow the Gods who created the entire world are less powerful than the Dark Ones and can be captured by them. They can bleed but the Dark Ones cannot. I love this series but 😵‍💫

Serilda will be wed to Erkling. This story is getting insane

[dirgni-suniva]

I don't know what to think but...

Why do I see Velos - the sad boy god of death - as Murriel from arcane

Like...Yes Velos is described as having dark hair and pearly skin snd a green robe or cloak and elegant features and...but why Murriel?

I mean it's not bad but...still...
