carmella calling laura darling…. ugh 😩😖

‘“who did this to you?” orion’s voice was violently quiet. “i’ll kill them.”’ YESSSSSSIR 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

tell me why i take this book off my shelf to read (bought at goodwill 2-3 years ago for like $2) and see that this is SIGNED. and i never knew. i have inside by bo burnham on cd and vinyl and i’ve had this signed book for ages without knowing

a quote terribly relevant now i’m afraid: ‘important men became martyrs, unimportant ones victims. the important men were given televised funerals, public days of mourning. their deaths inspired the creation of art and the destruction of cities. but unimportant men were killed to make the point that they were unimportant—that they were not even men—and the world continued on.’

‘“white folks kill you if you want too much, kill you if you want too little.” willie lee shook his head, packing tobacco into his pipe. “you gotta follow they rules but they change ‘em when they feel. devilish, you ask me.”’

when another vampire hurts her so he quite literally reaches his hand into his mouth and tears his tongue out for it 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

kidan is pissing me off

“you’ve ruined me, do you know that?” SUSENYOS SAGAD. WHEWWWWW

SUSENYOS POV ???

“susenyos dismembered every hand that had dared touch her.” UGHHHHH. i’m kicking my feet and giggling rn

when he (completely calm, mind you) shoves his clawed hand in another vampire’s back and literally starts pulling his spine out 😍

defanging him with pliers oh HELL no 😭😭

i appreciate the domesticity of this novel so far, it’s very sweet

(talking about deportations) “what i’m saying is nobody feels sorry for anybody anymore, nobody even pretends they do. not even the president.
it’s like it’s become unpatriotic.” AMEN!!! THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1989 AND THIS IS STILL SO RELEVANT.

“yes, hope is a strange thing. peace at last. but at what price?”

‘with me as the glaring exception, my father molded the world around him to his liking. the problem, of course, was that baba saw the world in black and white. and he got to decide what was black and what was white. you can’t love a person who lives that way without fearing him too. maybe even hating him a little.’

“it hurts to dream, but i dream regardless.”
