(Spoiler for ADSOM)
Kell being the last person to figure out Lila was an Antari will never not be funny to me. Tieren, he could stomach. Alucard, that was rough. But I just know Holland sent him over the edge 😭 Like even the readers got here first, babe.

“If you loved me, you would have let me go by now.”
“It is because I love you that I won’t.”
I love these dialogues from Addies and Luc in the invisible life of addie larue. It totally represents two different perspectives on love.
Addie, like many people, thinks that love is purely selfless and good. (While she herself can have selfish actions or thoughts) Luc thinks that love is selfish, or at least can be. (Because to say that Luc is purely selfish would be quite hypocritical given all the events of the books and what he does there. Luc is much more complicated than that)
But I like that these two sentences summarize these two visions of love.
Love is selfless. Love is selfish. When in fact... it can be both, separately or together. Love can be something uniquely good and positive. Just as it can be negative. And sometimes it's both together. They are simply different forms of the same feeling.
All this to say that I hate when people try to say that love must be pure, good and selfless. It's bullshit. Whether in fiction or reality. The difference is that in fiction you can explore relationships with toxic connotations without risk, unlike real life or if there are red flags, you obviously have to just run to protect yourself.
Justice for romances like Luc & Addie, Jane Eyre & Rochester, Heathcliff & Catherine (Wuthering Heights), Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Gray Bird (The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Christine & Erik (The Phantom of the Opera), Thomas & Edith (Crimson Peak), Hannibal & Will (Hannibal), Hannibal & Clarice (Hannibal), Raistlin & Crysania (Dragonlance), Sarah & Jareth (Labyrinth), Qu Xiao Feng & Li Cheng Yi (Goodbye My Princess), The Darkling & Alina (Grisha), Mare & Maven (Red Queen), Julian & Jenny (The Forbidden Game), and so so many others...
Not without kidding, there are so many examples in general, but also that I know and love that it is impossible to cite them all !

Reading the fragile threads of power and it's honestly so fun because im like where's is my man Kell and then i know about him through someone else's pov and he's just like frowning and sighing and rolling his eyes or just dropping the most iconic line and im like "yep, that's my man, that's the love of my life, the myth, the legend"

Convincing anyone who see this to read 'the invisible life of Addie LaRue' because look at them.

T.J. Klune and V.E. Schwab, two popular and beloved authors with large queer fan bases, both naming their asexual main character Victor give evidence to a secret society for queer authors and I will hear no arguments otherwise. From now on I propose we assume all characters named Victor are asexual unless explicitly told differently.

A heartbeat fluttered, as Victor Vale opened his eyes, and smiled.
Just finished Vicious and thought I’d do a Victor Vale moodboard <3

i feel like people completely misunderstand addie. like no, she didn't fight in a war or do something so drastically incredible with her life, she spent her time trying to leave a mark on the world - but isn't that what so many of us long to do? writing "___ was here" in concrete, posting things on social media, creating businesses that will hopefully out-live us. people seem to limit her to the bland storyline and 'pick-me-ism', and that's a valid opinion, but i disagree. life itself is not going to always be exciting. what addie does is continue to live, not just survive, ignoring the hollowness that could just as easily swallow her up. she romanticises her life, that is true, but what is wrong with that? she is making the best of the bad cards she got dealt. she can still appreciate the art in the world, she can still enjoy the sunshine and good food and lovely music. she did not let bitterness suffocate her; she made a life out of it
