Any of you ever read "The Book Thief"? Because this was my honest reaction when I read it a few years back:
Me: This book is amazing and heart wretcheding and beautiful and all the characters are amazing! Especially Rudy! I love Rudy so much please please he's my favorite, my baby, my little boy, I adore him-
Death: Yeah Rudy dies
Me: I f*cking hate this book

Everyone always cites the same characters as the reason their standards are so high but no one ever cites Rudy Steiner and therefore everyone else is wrong

I have never cried reading a book. I cried reading The Book Thief yesterday.
the weirdest part is, I didn’t cry for the people she lost or the life she could’ve lived. I cried for the people she got to love and the life she could live in the midst of that darkness. I cried for the selfless love only a father like Hans Hubermann could give, for Rosa’a tough but silent love, for the simplicity of Rudy’s companionship, for Max’s pure heart. I think that it is also my favourite part.
I could never find the words to explain how beautiful The Book Thief is, so I’ll say just that. It’s beautiful.

Quote number 4 :
"I want to see life. I want to hold it in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people. I want," he said, and then he paused and he thought. "I want everything."

I have my Marvel Family hyperfixation in one hand, and I've got my Book Thief hyperfixation in the other, and I'm about to clap them together like Death did the stories of Liesel and Max.
I just wanna see the skrunklies interact. Like, Billy, Mary, Liesel and Rudy playing football. Freddy and Tommy Muller bonding over being disabled. Max getting a whole horde of new younger siblings that just adore him, and Freddy not having to take care of the other two for once.
