Write? Me? Why. Why when I could lay in bed and think about writing? When I could melt into my sheets daydreaming about my silly little guys in my silly little story.

There's always tomorrow.

So if you failed to write today, it's okay. I know it's frustrating, easy to beat yourself up if you failed to reach a certain goal, but your brain needs rest, and it's okay to take one. It will only do you good.

My mother once told me she planned my funeral.

An ivory casket

I hate the color white

trimmed with gold

I’ve always preferred silver

adorned with red roses

I never liked flowers.

She wrote a eulogy. She imagined my headstone. She bought a black dress. She started saving money. And she told me all this

with tear-stained cheeks and leaky eyes

to make me feel guilty for choices I already made and couldn’t take back. But all I could think about was why she didn’t try harder to help me survive

to keep me alive.

That all the effort to plan my funeral could have planned my future. But it was easier for her to picture me dead than to admit I was broken.

An ivory casket,

trimmed with gold,

adorned with red roses

was far more beautiful

than a daughter with bloodied hands.

Some initial thoughts after finishing Chain of Thorns:

I wanted to love this book. I didn’t. It was just OK. It felt a bit … half-assed. Like Cassie gave up trying. Most of our biggest scenes happen off page. It’s frustrating.

There’s also so many recycled plot points from her other series that just made this story feel boring. We’ve seen Edom before. We’ve had possessions. We’ve had lovers stabbed in the chest twice. We’ve had kidnapped children. Yawn.

I did love a lot of the character work. Particularly with Matthew. I prepared myself to see him die, but his arc made me cry. Pain from hope.

I also LOVED seeing everyone snap in the beginning half — especially Cordelia. And James in Paris. He deserved it.

Thomastairs was so incredibly adorable. Alastair with baby Zachary at the end was just *ugh* sickly cute

Lucie definitely did necromancy and just got away with it. It’s bullshit.

We were supposed to learn the name of the Blackthorn sword. We didn’t.

Christopher’s death was a coward’s way out and meant nothing to the story (I have a whole post ready about this)

Quality dog content. We stan best boy Oscar

But we didn’t learn why or how the objects in SoBH ended up where they are. Math said he lost his flask in Paris, we learn nothing of Alastair’s dagger and where did that fucking music box come from?!

all i keep thinking is that the last hours series could NOT have taken place in modern times because Julian or Alec would have killed Tatiana early on and then there would be no story

I thought it hurt when I cut him off. And then my phone stopped working you guys:

How I stop myself from falling into another depression slump now that I have nothing to do all day

I have to get dressed every day: doesn’t matter when, it could be at 4 pm, but I have to put on clothes, doesn’t matter what, I could wear sweatpants and big hoodies, I just have to change from my pajamas

I have to eat lunch every day: I find it really hard sometimes to actually get up and make myself something to eat so some days I just go without eating anything at all, so I made it a rule for myself to at least eat lunch, no matter what

I have to go outside at least once every day: I find it very helpful if I go outside, even if just for like 5 minutes

I have to take a shower or a bath every day: it feels refreshing every time, it doesn’t have to be long, it helps even if the shower only lasts like 2 minutes

I have to wash my teeth every day: feel like this is self explanatory, one less to worry about, it doesn’t have to last all three minutes that is advised, it can be only like 30 seconds, but I have to do it

I have to talk to at least one person every day: it can be over text, on the phone or in real life, it can be just a quick hello how are you, but I have to make conversation with at least one person to feel less detached from reality

I have to tidy up after myself in the kitchen: if I make something to eat for myself, I have to put away everything after I’m done, so there isn’t clutter all around me, which makes me feel less overwhelmed

I have to actually leave my house and go somewhere else at least once a week: it really helps to just go for a walk or meet up with friends once in a while, it helps distract me and make me feel less lonely (I would advise to go somewhere where there are usually people present, not like to a forest, it makes you feel less alone)

I have to wash my hair every 3-4 days: one less thing to feel bad about

I have to make plans for the future with my friends/family: make me feel like I have a purpose (not to say that I feel like my existence is pointless, I just don’t know what to do with myself until university starts)

“I thought perhaps that when you told me you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not. They have grown every day. I love you now more desperately, this moment, than I have ever loved you before, and in an hour I will love you more than that” —Will Herondale

“There is no pretending,” Jace said with absolute clarity. “I love you, and I will love you until I die and if there’s a life after that, I’ll love you then.”—Jace Herondale

“These pictures are my heart. And if my heart was a canvas, every square inch of it would be painted over with you.”— Julian Blackthorn

I’m not sure I’m going to be able to cope with James Herondales love declaration 😭

no matter how it all ends Days Past: Paris, 1902 is forever ingrained in my memory
