Regulus was so pathetic, standing behind the locker rooms after a quidditch match he didn’t play — just to catch a glimpse of James Potter.
He felt like he had been standing outside forever, crouched behind the building as every single player cleared out of the locker room except for James.
Regulus was about to give up, about to walk back to the castle himself, when a couple things happened at once. There was a sudden sound of water spraying from the showers, followed by the one sentence that had him finally running inside:
“You gonna join me, Black, or just keep standing out there?”

My alphabet be like...
Wolfstar and Rosekiller have to be my two favourite chaotic ships like you have Wolfstar not wanting to tell each other about they're feelings because they're scared of what will happen to their friendship afterwards if they get rejected.
Then Rosekiller where they make out as homies and shag as homies but will never date because they would rather do these things as "friends" than have to admit their feelings because they're stubborn bastards.
Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?
Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.
There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.
And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)
And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!
The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.
So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

Whoa
Being a part of the Marvel and 9-1-1 fandoms on Tumblr right now is so funny because on one side everyone is going crazy about the gay witches and waiting for Wednesday and on the other everyone is going crazy about the gay firefighters and waiting for Wednesday
