grose sobbing

the "you're cargo" to "it's okay, babygirl" to "it wasn't time that did it" pipeline goes so fucking crazy bro

im crying they're my babies

the parallels between nezha saving rin during the battle against the federation at sinegard in the first book by stabbing the soldier that was about to kill her and nezha putting up a water shield in the grottoes at arlong to protect rin from the dragon in the third book is nothing less than immaculate. both times they were against each other, disliked each other, and didn't expect to be fighting together. both times rin was ready to accept death, only to open her eyes and realize nezha was there. both times they found themselves on the same side despite everything

gotta love the duality of morpheus's chosen love interests

ex-wife: a literal centuries upon centuries old ancient greek muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry and who looks and speaks like an ethereal wonder

current boyfriend: a himbo

+ in Matthias and Nina's swim after the shipwreck where they bond for the first time

the sea, in Leigh Bardugo’s books, symbolizes change. This is seen in Inej’s trip to ketterdam, kidnapped by slavers; in Wylan’s swim through the canals, realizing his fate; and most prominently, in nine year old Kaz’s transformation to a talented thief and a barrel boss. In this essay I will…

on my honour, my life, and my jade

[theburntromantic]

If my life is going to mean something,

I have to live it myself

[theburntromantic]

They are each other's fiercest love,

Greatest danger, and only hope.

[theburntromantic]

Instead of being afraid

I could become something to fear

[theburntromantic]

Battles may be fought from the outside in

but wars are won from the inside out

Ships as lyrics from Made in the A.M. by One Direction

Fang Runin x Yin Nezha

(The Poppy War)

Unforgettable together, held the whole world in our hands

Unexplainable, a love that only we could understand

I know there's nothing I can do to change it, but is there something that can be negotiated?

My heart's already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife

(Love You Goodbye)

Benedict Montagov x Marshall Seo

(These Violent Delights)

Feels like this could be forever tonight

Break these clocks, forget about time

There could be a World War 3 going on outside

You and me were raised in the same part of town

Got these scars on the same ground

Remember how we used to kick around just wasting time?

(A.M.)

Zoya Nazyalensky x Nikolai Lantsov

(King of Scars)

I said "you're on fire, babe"

Then down came the lightning on me

Love can be frightening for sure

All I know at the end of the day

Is you want what you want and you say what you say

And you follow your heart even though it'll break sometimes

(End of the Day)

Nina Zenik x Matthias Helvar

(Six of Crows)

Goodbyes are bittersweet

But it's not the end, I'll see your face again

And you will find me, in places that we've never been

For reasons we don't understand, Walking in the wind

I know we'll be alright, child, just close your eyes and see

I'll be by your side, any time you're needing me

(Walking in the Wind)

Pippa Fitz-Amobi x Ravi Singh

(A Good Girl's Guide to Murder)

All my life, you stood by me

When no one else was ever behind me

All these lights, they can't blind me

With your love, nobody can drag me down

(Drag Me Down)

Laila x Séverin Montagnet-Alarie

(The Gilded Wolves)

Point of no return and now it's just too late to turn around

I try to forgive you but I struggle 'cause I don't know how

We built it up so high and now I'm falling

It's a long way down, it's a long way down from here

(Long Way Down)

Jude Duarte x Cardan Greenbriar

(The Cruel Prince)

When you go and I'm alone

You live in my imagination

The summertime and butterflies

All belong to your creation

I love you, it's all I do, I love you

(Olivia)

Hanne Brum x Nina Zenik

(King of Scars)

In the middle of the night when the wolves come out

Headed straight for your heart like a bullet in the dark

One by one, I gotta take them down

We can run and hide, ain't going down without a fight

(Wolves)

Katniss Everdeen x Peeta Mellark

(The Hunger Games)

And it's alright

Calling out for somebody to hold tonight

When you're lost, I'll find a way, and I'll be your light

You will never feel like you're alone

I'll make this feel like home

(Home)

[theburntromantic]

Who will look for you,

when you're the one who disappears?

[theburntromantic]

There are no friends here.

Only people you kill now. And people you kill later.

- All Of Us Villains

I have become something wonderful, she thought. I have become something terrible.

Was she now a goddess or a monster? Perhaps neither. Perhaps both.

Crows and their favourite Hindu festivals

Jesper - Holi

He loves dancing and singing around the pyre

No one can escape his water guns

He makes it his goal to smear Kaz's face with the most ridiculous colour every year

Nina and him are the only ones who wear white clothes for 'fun'

"I can finish this glass of bhaang within a minute"

"No one asked you to, Jesper"

Wants to be the first person to put colour on Wylan

Wylan - Deepavali

Much to everyone's dismay, he loves cleaning the house together with the crows. Kaz has to be persuaded by Inej to join

He loves lighting diyas and placing them all around the house

He prepares the goodudeepa (paper lantern) with Inej and they hang it over the balcony with Jesper's help

Fireworks.

He's a great cook and loves preparing sweets and the only person who's allowed into the kitchen when he's working is Matthias

Matthias - Janmashtami

That person who climbs the tallest human pyramid to break the topmost matkha while everyone below crushes on him

Heard Wylan playing the flute once and fell in love with it instantly. Now they play duets

Is the only person along with Inej and Kaz to stay awake till midnight

Loves watching the stage plays of Krishna's birth and childhood with Nina

Nina - Navratri

She loves the entire theme and significance of the festival

Follows the colour scheme everyday

Enjoys decorating the house with flowers

Loves Garbha. And expects all the crows to dance with her

Learnt drawing rangoli from Inej and she's a pro at it now

Inej - Dashami

She just loves the atmosphere around during the puja

Quietly sings the bhajan and leads the aarthi

She doesn't need to convince the others to watch the play because they all love it

As the proccesions begin, she doesn't join the crowd below, but follows them from the rooftops

Her favorite part is the burning of the effigies of the demons, which symbolises the destruction of evil

Kaz - Sankranti

The harvest festival reminds him of his life as a farmers' son

Since it's a point to wear black clothes on this day, he loves it all too well

On Inej's advice, he offers diyas to the river

Inej says it would help him make peace with the water, and he loves the sight of her eyes lit up by thousands of floating lamps

His favorite part is the kite flying and he's very competitive about it

His kite is crow-shaped and is always the last one flying
