STORMBRINGER MANGA NEXT YEAR?!?!??

current mood

i love saying “i’m being normal about it” bc i’m actually a filthy fucking liar and i’ve never been normal about anything a single day in my life

yk i'm so happy neil josten is in a profession where he repeatedly has to sign his name on things and papers because no one would love reinforcing his name more than he himself. he doodles it. he practices it. his notebooks full of it. he's got a professional signature and a casual one. he loves his name more than anyone else.

i cannot stop thinking about the parallels between jean and neil. about how jean's story could have easily been neil's, had his mother not taken him and run. we see glimpses of jean's fire and, dare i say, attitude, with his povs during tsc, and how carefully he masks it all after years of abuse and torture. yes, neil is a fighter, but so is jean. when he was first sold to evermore, he pushed back time and time again until he was too tired to go on. if neil had been sold the way jean had, with nobody to save him, i think they would have ended up on the same path. they both mirrors of what could have been

me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.

we need a cuteness aggression equivalent term for when you see art of your favorite character you like so much that you sincerely cannot think of anything to put in the tags that isnt "im going to start biting off my own fingers"

it's all fine and dandy until you remember what happened the last time the main love interest got a backstory drop in book 2

i love jean moreau so so so much guys. he’s worried about cody being safe. he throws andrew’s candy bars in the bin. he doesn’t know nicky exists. he calls kevin a “beautiful boy”. he is a moreau but so is his sister. he thinks he deserves everything that happened to him and he tries so hard not to talk about it, but it slips out anyway and no matter how much he scrabbles at his throat he can’t keep the words in. he calls neil his misplaced forever partner. im in love with him i need him to be so so happy

"So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me for I, too, am fluent in silence."

– R. Arnold

"I'm a master of speaking silently—all my life I've spoken silently and I've lived through entire tragedies in silence."

– Fyodor Dostoyevsky
