favorite lit characters ≡ the raven cycle: Richard Campbell Gansey III
Gansey wasn’t like anyone else.
She recognized the strange happiness that came from loving something without knowing why you did, that strange happiness that was sometimes so big that it felt like sadness. It was the way she felt when she looked at the stars.
YA book ladies: the song girls (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before)
Margot would say she belongs to herself. Kitty would say she belongs to no one. And I guess I would say I belong to my sisters and my dad, but that won’t always be true. To belong to someone—I didn’t know it, but now that I think about, it seems like that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To really be somebody’s, and to have them be mine.

My advisor: how’s your thesis going
Me: in this chapter i would like to discuss whether or not knowledge of the Dutch language influences the experience of reading Leigh Bardugo’s Six Of Crows duology (2015/16), and how much of the words are supposed to be considered little Dutch jokes woven into the text. As an obvious example we can take the name of the city: “Ketterdam” as a bastardized version of Amsterdam carries the Dutch word for heretic/non-believer, an excellent tongue-in-cheek for a city where the religion is inherently linked to the economy. Less obvious are some of the names, and we can wonder whether Ghezen, the Kerch god of industry and commerce, is a reference to the “Geuzen” [ˈɣøːzə(n)] (eng: the Beggars), the rebels who established an independent Dutch republic in the 16th century, whom depending on motivation could be considered either pirates or privateers.
My advisor: weren’t you writing about Japanese lesbians in the ‘70s

“Just like that, he was a little bit closer to the Gansey that Blue had seen in the church yard, and she found she couldn’t bear to look at him.”
