↳ SIX OF CROWS DUOLOGY, BY LEIGH BARDUGO.

jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. 

“fine. but if pekka rollins kills us all, i’m going to get wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that i can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”

brekker’s lips quirked. “i’ll just hire matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”

“my ghost won’t associate with your ghost,” matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.

RPers, please reblog this if you’re ok with para responses that don’t include dialogue.

        Often it seems like an expectation that dialogue will be exchanged in every para response, but sometimes characters are nonverbal, or don’t have anything to say, or are in a situation that would make talking impractical. If the writer puts enough attention into describing their actions, though, there’s still plenty to respond to even without dialogue.         Non-dialogue responses are not “going nowhere.” Non-dialogue responses are not “filler.” Non-dialogue responses are not non-responses.

they say he stole her, as if Persephone were only something to be coveted and not a goddess in her own right, as if she were not as feared in their realm as he. they say that he corrupted her, that Hades’s flower wilted under the stench of his death but they forget that Spring is rebirth, that if anyone could be touched by the underworld and flourish, that it would be her. they say that he tricked her, that she did not want to stay. but they forget how the winter drags on, how each year it creeps in sooner, leaving bones aching for a hint of her warmth, and it is not because he will not let her leave it is because she does not want to go.

Dionysus is the man everybody knows. He is everyone’s 2 a.m. phone call; he knows all his boundaries, but likes to push them as if he doesn’t. Dionysus is the man at the end of the bar telling his story like people are listening. ‘How much it kills me to be immortal,’ he says. ‘How much it hurts to not hurt at all.’ Dionysus laughs like champagne bubbles, and his lips are a deep bruised purple like Cabernet Sauvignon, like Merlot. Dionysus doesn’t cry, but if he did, it would sound like thunderstorms— even Zeus doesn’t have hands stronger than Dionysus’s drunken fists. There’s no easy way to ask for help and he knows that way too well. Dionysus hears what they’re all saying but turns his back as if he doesn’t. They’re all saying he died centuries ago, and it’s true. Everything they’re saying is true.

Nina: that chihuahua that gets pelted with snacks while “pour some sugar on me” plays in the background

Wylan: “what up im Jared im nineteen and I never fucking learned how to read”

kanej - six of crows for @stadwatch ♡

Nina glanced from Inej to Kaz and saw they both wore the same expression. Nina knew that look. It came after the shipwreck, when the tide moved against you and the sky had gone dark. It was the first sight of land, the hope of shelter and even salvation that might await you on a distant shore.

“Inej,” she said on a wavering breath. The Suli girl wore the horns and high-necked tunic of the Grey Imp, but Nina recognized her anyway. No one else moved liked that, as if the world were smoke and she was just passing through it.
