Kamran is great and all but Cyrus really won me over in the second book.

"you’re quite charmingly pathetic." ~~ch.18

"You lovely little fool." ~~ch.18

“You stunning little hypocrite,” ~~ch.16

“I thought you’d never match up to the figment of my dreams, and I was wrong. You are far more enchanting in real life. Far more exquisite.” His voice shook just a little when he said, softly, “It is excruciating to be in your presence.” ~~ch.29

“Alizeh, you would make me the most wretched man alive.” ~~ch.29

i could die omg (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I thought Aaron warner was the best but Cyrus may just give him a run for his money and I'm not too mad about it.

Tehereh does it again.

“Mock me all you like. Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips." His eyes are black with desire. "By you, I am forever undone.”

Their relationship is so complex and how it progressed throughout this series is what i loved to witness.

(⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

Let's talk more about Madoc respecting Jude as a Queen.

That's literally one of the best parts in the trilogy. See these lines from chapter 5 of tcp,

“I want to make my own way at the Court,” I say.

“You’re no killer,” he tells me. I flinch, my gaze coming up to his. He looks back at me steadily with his golden cat eyes.

“I could be,” I insist. “I’ve been training for a decade.”

Besides being a redcap who lived for war and dipped his cap in the blood of those he killed, Madoc expected a ruler to not be afraid of getting their hands dirty if they want to run a court, or make their own way at the court, that is.

Although we know Madoc kept taking Jude for granted, he appreciated the things he saw she was good at in twk,

“As I thought. I didn’t appreciate you properly. I dismissed your desire for knighthood. I dismissed your capacity for strategy, for strength—and for cruelty. That was my mistake, and one I will not make again.”

He did, indeed, underestimate his daughter but he saw those things necessary (presumably for someone running the court, even from behind the throne i.e. what Madoc aimed to do himself through Oak) And in qon,

“Enough blustering,” he says. “You’ve already won. Look.”

He takes me by the shoulders and turns me so that I can see where the great body of the serpent lies. A jolt of horror goes through me, and I try to wrench out of his grip. And then I notice the fighting has ebbed, the Folk are staring. From within the body of the creature emanates a glow.

And then, through that, Cardan steps out. Cardan, naked and covered in blood.

Alive.

Only out of his spilled blood can a great ruler rise.

And all around, people go to their knees. Grima Mog kneels. Lord Roiben kneels. Even those who moments before were intent on murder seem overcome. Nicasia looks on from the sea as all of Elfhame bows to the High King, restored and reborn.

“I will bend my head to you,” Madoc says to me under his breath. “And only you.”

It might seem that Madoc surrendered here because he's no fool and could see he'd lost but that's not all. Here, Madoc saw his daughter for who she really was, a Queen. A queen who made difficult decisions like beheading the love of her life because he's cursed instead of a child who tried to keep him in any way she could. Jude was everything Madoc thought a ruler should be, for instance, these lines he said to Cardan in qon,

Have you earned one single thing that you have? I have fought with those who follow me and bled with them. I have given my life to Elfhame.

That's something Madoc saw Jude do. She earned the loyalty of those she worked with. She fought with her people in the battle against Madoc and gave her life to Elfhame because it was her home.

He presses his mouth into a thin line. Then he bows his head. “Yes, my queen.”

No wonder he finally bowed to her. He didn't only accept his defeat, he accepted her as his Queen and respected her for it.

You’re the High Queen of Faerie. Whatever you did to get there, I can only applaud it.

ps: this post isn't necessarily to say that Madoc isn't planning getting back at Jude but only that by the end of Queen of Nothing, he accepted and respected her as the Queen.

i know it’s been said before but no book character will literally ever be as iconic as peeta “if it weren’t for the baby” mellark. like in book 1 when he confesses to having a crush on katniss on live television, that’s strategic. he knows he won’t win the games but he can help keep katniss safe and send her home and get district 12 a victor. but in book 2 he’s like “well we’re all gonna die and there’s no stopping the games so i’m just gonna fuck shit up and make every capitol official’s life a living hell for as long as i can” and then he does. nobody is doing it like him

#peeta mellark #the hunger games #on some level i am ALWAYS thinking about 'if it weren't for the baby' and you should be too

Thank you💖

Miraculous Ladybug Season 5 google drive link (to be updated by yours truly!)

So this has been a long time coming!

So you guys know I like to post drive links separately for episodes as they come out, but for a while I’ve had the idea to make a folder and upload the episodes to drive so that it’s easier for people to access. And thanks to the anon who reminded me of that idea, I decided to finally go through with it!

So the way this works is that the folder will contain the English Dubs of all episodes + subs of episodes not yet dubbed, and once every episode is dubbed in English it will be only a English dub folder! I’m thinking of also making a separate folder for the French Dub, but I’ll let you guys know when that happens! I’m adding this post to the pinned post, and this will be reblogged every time a new episode airs + is added!!

Anyway without further ado, here it is! Let me know if there are any problems (sans jubilation not loading bc for some reason that episode is taking forever to process hence the delay in posting this lmao), and enjoy!

[Credits to Miraculous.to for uploading the episodes + subbing them! It’s the fastest way to get episodes!]

(P.S. Try not to share this link too much! Sharing w friends and mutuals and reblogging this on tumblr is 100% fine + encouraged, but don’t repost this link on Twitter or Instagram anything like that. It increases the chance of it getting taken down + could cause issues and I’m not ab to deal with all that lmao)

Inej and Jesper being very good at compartmentalizing and shoving away their trauma vs. Kaz and Nina who think they're very good at compartmentalizing but aren't actually as good as they think they are vs. Matthias and Wylan who fundamentally do not understand just how fucked up they are until they're on the run and being hunted by their own but pretty quickly accept it after that
