OMG HOW FUN!!!!!

💀 ✍️ 🔬 for the tlt ask please!!!!

(be happy I didn’t ask for 💙 tbh)

thanks sudha!!! 💕 and yh 💙 would just be. all of them. multiple times 😭

💀 Fav Ht9 quote?

also so many..... also the entire last act, but i'm gonna pick this one bc my entire day is derailed every time i think of it:

Always your sword, my umbral sovereign; in life, in death, in anything beyond life or death that they want to throw at thee and me. I died knowing you’d hate me for dying; but Nonagesimus, you hating me always meant more than anyone else in this hot and stupid universe loving me. At least I’d had your full attention.

(honorable mention to the "i am a nonsense." monologue bc it's burned into my brain and i just want to give harrow a hug okay 😭)

WAIT ALSO i can't let this question go by without

It had bewildered her, back at Canaan House, how the whole of her always seemed to come back to Gideon. For one brief and beautiful space of time, she had welcomed it: that microcosm of eternity between forgiveness and the slow, uncomprehending agony of the fall. Gideon rolling up her shirt sleeves. Gideon dappled in shadow, breaking promises. One idiot with a sword and an asymmetrical smile had proved to be Harrow’s end: her apocalypse swifter than the death of the Emperor and the sun with him.

✍️ Of the supporting characters, who's POV would you be most interested in reading?

this is such a good one!! there's so many but i'll go with camilla or palamedes; they're there for so much of the story & i'd LOVE to get their perspective on things

🔬 Who is your fav lyctor and why?

i'm so invested in all the OG lyctor's stories, i've said this to you before but my kingdom for a prequel!! anastasia figuring out true lyctorhood and dying for it, cassiopeia giving the sixth house instructions to desert hundreds of years in advance, cyth - just all of cyth!! - g1deon falling for wake when he's known to not fall for anyone else & thinking he's going mad with the gaps in his memory, augustine and mercymorn's WHOLE thing, there's just SO much there! my answer as i started typing this was going to be pyrrha, but i now realise she's. not actually a lyctor hahaha, so i'm going to go with cassiopeia! i need to dissect her brain

tlt asks

[kay-elle-cee]

hi Kelsey!!!! 5, 12, and 30 for the music ask game please! 💞

Ooh, hi Sudha! Thank you for these!

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD

Weightless by All Time Low cranked at like max volume is one of my top cheer-me-up-when-I'm-down songs.

12. A song from your preteen years

I answered with a Jesse McCartney song here, but will also drop Behind These Hazel Eyes from Miss Kelly Clarkson herself because this was a FORMATIVE ALBUM for me.

30. A song that reminds you of yourself

Ahhh not self reflection! Ummmm I'm probably gonna have to go with a Paramore song so I'm going with Last Hope!

Thank you so much!

[theesteemedladydebourgh]

this passage from JHF reminds me so much of Taylor’s Safe & Sound in how Lily sees James as her safe place, even amidst the turmoil and uncertainty of what they are to each other ten years later, and I can’t wait to see how you explore that further in TFTDC!!

i've been staring at this ask all day because you have perfectly articulated exactly what i've been trying to get across about JHF jily without shoving it down everyone's throat 😂this is an ongoing theme in TFTDC, but it's a little more mutual!

also, love me some taylor and this song is perfect for that passage 🥰

👀your url brings back some memories for me too, wow middle school Ange and UR.

summer sunday monday sharing

thanks for the tag doe @emeralddoeadeer !! so hyped for your fic <33

i'll share a short snippet from my fic hand in unlovable hand:

Her skin cracks eventually, dry and abused. The pop of raw red against the pale white is enough to jolt her out of washing. She rinses her hands one last time and pats them dry with a towel, wincing at the rough feel of it.

The sounds of the rest of the Order eating dinner filter through the door as she opens it and Lily feels her stomach twist. She doesn’t want the others to think this had affected her, somehow — didn’t want to lend any credence to the intensely whispered debate the rest of the Order had had when Dumbledore introduced them. They were the youngest members, the only ones straight out of school. She couldn’t face acting unbothered in front of them yet.

i'll tag: @marhoeders @oyprongs @kay-elle-cee @unknowableroom @alittlebitofeverything23 @theswanhero and whoever else wants to do it!
