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.
kaz: knows seventy three different ways to kill a man, could rob you in plain sight, pulls off a major heist in the most heavily guarded government building in the world.
also kaz: doesn’t know how to tell the girl he loves how he feels so avoids her like the plague.
Do people like Clarke Griffin?? One of my friends said she is damsel in distress and that's why she doesn't ship her with Bellamy and idk how to feel about that??
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.
Pink skies and quarantine
Yes or no?
I can't wait to read all the darklina fanfics once the Netflix show comes out
I started watching the handmaid's tale and I can't stop thinking if they wanted kids why didn't they use IVF and surrogacy?? This was in the 21st century so I am sure they must have the technology.
you are allowed to make mistakes. you are allowed to have bad days. you are allowed to accidentally make a sleezy prince's heart literally explode, tailor his features to look like you, throw him off a tower, make your parents suffer the grief of losing their only child, steal the said prince's identity, live as a a proud trans man, rule a country and marry an undercover enemy of the state with a love for waffles who also speaks to the dead. it happens to the best of us.
I don’t understand how people say Hope has been reduced to a love interest and hate on Handon but then say they want her to be with someone else all in the same breath. Does Handon get more screen time then they should sometimes? Sure. Replacing Landon with Josie/Rafael/Lizzie/Ethan/Whoever you ship Hope with isnt going to change the main problem tho, which is how terrible the show has been at writing family/friendships. Like, Josie/Lizzie are only just now at an okay place and Alaric is still a terrible dad to them, Hope’s only real friend at this point is Lizzie (her scenes with Josie are so sporadic they’re hardly friends), MG’s friendship with Kaleb has been erased as they’ve returned his characters arc to thirsting after Lizzie, neither of the twins really have friends, overall everyone in the school seems to just tolerate each other and hang out randomly and it’s disappointing. Hope wanted to run away when Landon didn’t remember her and Landon wanted to run away last episode and I don’t blame them. With Raf gone there is literally no reason they have to be at the school and that’s a fault of the writers not Handon as a couple. Hope’s obligation to the school at this point feels like “i’m worried they literally might all die without me” but outside of landon and the twins I don’t think there’s anyone there she genuinely does/should care about
