SECOND PAGE AND IM ALREADY GETTING YOAI

Was not aware this was a sequel 😭

“You’re going to have to fight and you’re going to win.” YES GAWWWDDD YESSS

“When someone leaves your life, those exits aren’t always made equal. Some are beautiful, yes, and poetic, and satisfying. Some are abrupt and unfair. But most of them? Most are unremarkable. Unintentional. Clumsy.”

“Because at the end of the day, that’s all you’ve got: the joy you’ve found and the joy you gave other people.”
:(

“Enlightenment, as it turns out, breeds hubris. I suppose that’s the first of the many sins I have to confess here.”
Get the fuck outta here rn

I’ve already shed a tear I’m not playing about stolen century

I’m on the edge of my seat, biting my nails

I spoke to soon he’s a nasty pervert who likes period blood 😕

“The gays are militant: they want marriage and they want to openly join the army and be accepted. The two institutions I loathed.”
Waittt I’m starting to get him

“Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein. I think we will be gone soon.”
I lovveeee you Rorschach

“I’ll explain. You see, we, like many people today, believe god will shortly end the world. How does that idea strike you?”
“The notion fascinated me. It was terrible and yet terribly convenient.”

The little section about them nuking Antarctica has such a special place in my heart, it was so well written, sensitive, and such great speculative fiction

Ignore this…

“Stood in firelight, sweltering. Blood stain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.” holy shit man 😭

I hate when they are mean to him

Oh I KNOW Rorschach is stinky and uses two in one shampoo

“Abernathy will put down his fork, dab his lip, smile patriarchally and say: oh children. The only way one can endure is to endure. Knowing smile. Loving glance all around. Wisdom received. And he, the holder of resilience’s great secret.”

“This is how Jonathan Abernathy, wearing his sixty-six dollar suit, comes to be on his knees in the food court of an open-air mall, hat in literal hand.” I LOVVEEE HIMMM

I JUST realized they are British

“God exists and he’s American. If that statement starts to chill you after a couple moments consideration, then don’t be alarmed. A feeling of intense and crushing religious terror at the concept indicates only that you are still sane.”
Yesss I love you watchmen

“These people are callous and destructive. Cruel because cruelty is the point.”

I’m so ready for this

“If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.”
I crode

Starting again so I can read the sequel haha

“I know no matter what, I’m wonderful.”
Don’t pmo I love this book so much

I just know Sibling Dex is hot

“I love you so, I love you best. I will walk in you, and I will care for you, and I will bring the whole world to rejoice in you”
