I Ship Bellarke. I Don't Hate Echo And I Think She Is Such A Badass Character And People Don't Giver

I remember reading fanfics of harry Potter and it felt like being transported back in time. I could spent hours reading It and when I would look up I would lose all my sense of reality. We took that world from her and made it our own. Harry Potter is so much more than jk Rowling. It is more than just those books. It's a million stories and thousands of writers. I am just filled with so much whenever I think about harry Potter. It just doesn't feel the same to me as much as i want it to.

all this talk of saints, sankta zoya, sankta alina, sankt adrik, can i be the one to start the cult of sankt kaz of ketterdam? i shall be his most devoted priestess and build his church on the ruins of the emerald palace on the east stave, bless his definitely not spotless soul

I wonder what its like to actually know what you wanna be when you grow up cause I have no idea.

why can’t i stay in bed all day reading books and listening to music while creating fake scenarios in my head like there isn’t a law against it so wtf

(this is for all the people who still say Encanto is not about Colombians ; sorry about the quality of the gifs)

No one talks enough about that one scene where Kaz sweeps a cape over Inej and there are an incredulous amount of flower petals scattering in the wind, and Inej is like these were my mother's favourite flowers, but Kaz is like cool story bro I'm glad you're back :) This boy couldn't care less about these flowers, because he's so focused on his scheme to get her away from Van Eck.

And Inej grows up believing there's no one out there for her who fits the description her father gave her. No one has learned her favourite flower, song, or sweet. She associated these specific items with affection.

And just...Kaz doesn't give Inej these exact things. Not flowers, but a knife. Not sweets, but a ship. Not a song, but the sound of freedom as she rushes to meet her parents at the harbour.

Kaz challenges the idea of love Inej was taught, and I think it's beautiful because what her father said still remains true. It's not about gift-giving, but how well the person has gotten to know you, and Kaz understands what Inej needs goes beyond flowers.

So when they're surrounded by these petals, yes, it's wonderfully symbolic for Inej, but the true expression of Kaz's loyalty isn't in these types of gestures: it lies in the fact that he came back for her, that he fights with and for her. Inej doesn't need flowers, but she needs someone to put her complete trust in. And it is that boy who earns her heart.

Today I learned that I still have very strong feelings about Mr. Davey Squidface Jones from the pirates of the Caribbean movies, and there is a very real part of me just waiting for the chance to yell about it

i’m hearing all this hype for nikolai and wylan casting and like i get it but tolya and tamar !!!!!

thinking about how all the non readers have no idea what inej’s tattoo means or why kaz wears gloves or how important the darkling’s real name is or that jesper is bisexual and not gay

i make no apologies for the person i’m gonna become when the shadow and bone series is released
