Caught myself thinking "I want to watch a video essay on a certain element of gothic fiction, but I want a very deep dive, with lots of sources quoted, I don't mind if it's a little dry, or even if I have to go hunting for it, as a matter of fact that sounds fun" and then I remembered JSTOR exists.

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

dark heir has destroyed my body and soul. I really thought it wouldn't be that angsty, I thought the revelation would come and it would be sort of resolved- that there would be some mutual understanding, and now I begin to recognise how naive I was to think that

"So you can take a shadow," said Will, "you can pledge yourself to darkness, but I can't be trusted with my own power, even when I want to use it to do what's right?"

Can we talk about how, when Anharion and the Lady arrest Sarcean in Will's vision, Sarcean says to them:
And then, when James arrives in the palace and stands alongside Visander in Katherine's body, Will says:
Punch me in the throat, why don't you, Pacat.

I'm just so angry all the time. all I've been is angry and im trying to remember a time before. before there was something more. It was chestnut leaves and husks, coloured bean bags piled messily on top of each other and kids running around in sparse paddocks. in the bush under a lonely sun, strung out and blistering in a blue sky. it was spending holidays with cousins who don't have enough time to visit anymore. it was the kids eating at a different table to the adults during big family dinners, with those specific type of cheap plastic plates which had knife scratches in them from where they'd worn. it was the smell of chlorine and layers of sunscreen sitting greasy on the surface of the pool, gum nuts and the smell of eucalyptus. it was going to the movies with grandparents. it was the way the wind would whip against your face in winter, when two coats and beanie wasn't enough to stay warm. choc-chip muffins for breakfast in a tiled kitchen, the smell of an aunts perfume who only visited annually. the feeling of warm sandstone beneath small hands, and the dirt on grass stained knees. it was the need to scribble in journals and write down dreams as keepsakes. sitting in a quiet room reading a book you picked up spontaneously and ended up loving so whole heartedly. at Christmas swimming for hours on end. the sound of choirs in church, singing in unison, voices ricocheting within the cathedral as an old organ player hobbled up to his stool. later the way the moon sat glaringly still in the night sky, illuminating the floorboards in a silvery glow. how in that silence, listening to dogs barking, people laughing, cars driving down the road, the moon listened. watching you grow, laughing and crying tears of star dust. how everything then had seemed so unfathomably large and daunting, how you were supposed to be sleeping to leave the next morning, but the moon was too beautiful to not look and talk to.
and now we're here and I wonder what happened to that.
