Looking for more blogs to follow. If you are an active writeblr, reblog this post and I’ll check out your blog!

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.

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.

Out of all the shows I have watched and books I have read I didn't think the 100 was going to get me to question my faith

The fact that i haven't watched a single episode of game of thrones makes me feel somehow superior to people who have.

But sometimes I wanna know what the hype is all about??

See my problem???
