Somehow the attendants being MARRIED MEN never crossed my mind. Like it makes sense, I guess, that they would be?? But also I just pictured a bunch of dumb young 20-something bachelor dudes and rolled with it I guess

Folks it is that time again!! Except with a little twist! This year, to celebrate the whole series being published, we are doing a two week event to celebrate the whole series.

As always, you can participate however you want to! Post graphics, gifsets, music, videos, meta, fic, and anything else you can think of during the event to share the love for this awesome series. Make sure to tag it “qtappreciationweek” so it can be sure to be seen and reblogged here!

For the first week, each day will be dedicated to a specific book, and then we get into themes!

Here are the themes for every day:

Sunday, July 11 - The Thief Day

Monday, July 12 - The Queen of Attolia Day

Tuesday, July 13 - The King of Attolia Day

Wednesday, July 14 - A Conspiracy of Kings Day

Thursday, July 15 - Thick as Thieves Day

Friday, July 16 - Return of the Thief Day

Saturday, July 17 - Short Stories Day

Sunday, July 18 - Favorite Country

Monday, July 19 - Quote Swap —> This isn’t a strict rule. You can swap quotes between characters (like applying a quote about Gen to Kamet) or use a quote from another story you like (like using a quote from Game of Thrones to describe someone else).

Tuesday, July 20 - Favorite Platonic Ship —> this is what YOU read as platonic.

Wednesday, July 21 - Favorite Outfit

Thursday, July 22 - Favorite Parallel

Friday, July 23 - Fancasts Day —> if you don’t normally do graphics or gifsets, don’t be nervous! You can draw something using an actor or model as a reference, do a big fancast post listing your favorites, meta about why you chose that fancast, or anything you can think of!

I’m so excited to see everyone’s stuff!!

You know at some point you just say “Fuck it” and marry the person who tried to kill you...

life-changing literature

[useless-the-younger]

As Attolia spun, she felt a tug at her hair and, turning back, felt another. Then she felt her carefully arranged hair slipping down her neck.

Eugenides, minding the pattern with his feet and spinning the queen with one hand, had been pulling out her hairpins one by one when her back was turned.

do I need to say more

POV you are costis ormentiedes and you just have to stand there while your employers do this in public.

[useless-the-younger]

ms whalen turner really said i am going to write a scene of unexpected tenderness between irene and gen and immediately after cut to the rest of the court genuinely anxious that one of them has murdered the other. and i just have to LIVE with that.

[useless-the-younger]

thinking about That scene in return of the thief. also about the extreme lengths i will go to in order to avoid drawing a horse but we are not going to talk about that. anyway u ever just get made an instrument of the incomprensible but painfully real divine forces that direct the lives of you and your loved ones?
