never let your new crush make you feel bad for doing what you love (lying on your resume)

jill in her pathetically crushing so hard for a girl that won’t notice she’s alive era.. oh, my girl is so REAL

oh we’re going crazy now

rip jill you would’ve loved lying on your resume and navigating the eternal flames of the hellish modern job haunting situation

one night i was bored in bed and stalked you on the internet!!!!!!!!!

gilbert was truly on his speak now (tv) era… just wow

“But if I am to be so changed that I shall cease to adore you with my whole heart and soul, and love you beyond every other creature, I shall not be myself, and, though, if ever I win Heaven at all, I must, I know, be infinitely better and happier than I am now, my earthly nature cannot rejoice in the anticipation of such beatitude, from which itself and its chief joy must be excluded.”

hay una batalla de pesaos y a mr hargrave no le gana nadie

i think helen would be completely justified in setting the whole house on fire with everyone inside after all of this

can’t say i don’t see the red flags in huntingdon already.. something deeply sinister in his behavior

this man has completely lost his mind and i love reading about it

i actually first picked this up about two weeks ago but have not been much in the mood for reading so i’m hoping i can get back in STRONG now

"Do you know, Ántonia, since I've been away, I think of you more often than of anyone else in this part of the world. I'd have liked to have you for a sweetheart, or a wife, or my mother or my sister—anything that a woman can be to a man. The idea of you is a part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tastes, hundreds of times when I don't realize it. You really are a part of me." 😩

“More than any other person we remembered, this girl seemed to mean to us the country, the conditions, the whole adventure of our childhood.
To speak her name was to call up pictures of people and places, to set a quiet drama going in one's brain.”

i need to get my ass back into reading this is actually quite cute!!

having a laugh whenever i remember this is all happening with every other operator in the line listening in like they really are the gossip in “the office”

oh she just gets what working customer service is like 🙂‍↕️

not this dude being the first online troll in the literal 1870s while also being a charmer ("to n.—you know the more mystery there is about anything, the more interesting it becomes. therefore, if i envelop myself in all the mystery possible, i will cherish hopes that you may dream of me!”)

"Where are you going, ser?"
"To my bed, to sleep. I'm drunk as a dog."
"Be my dog, ser. The night's alive with promise. We can howl together and wake the very gods." oh it’s CRAZYYYYY

dunk truly does forget who he has for a squire sometimes and then he casually mentions he has a dragon’s egg just for himself and that they put it on his cradle when he was born and he’s flabbergasted

the sworn sword finished! i can’t possibly explain how crazy this story makes me. i want it injected into my veins, every bit of it. i love the suffocating setting of the summer during a drought. i love how much care is given to the post civil war context, and just how complex and tragic ser eustace is. but, above all, i love the romance between dunk & rohanne completely. i could cry like a wounded dog about it.

"Ser Duncan." She reached up and laid two fingers on his swollen lip. "Did I do this, ser?"
"No one else has slapped my face
of late, m'lady.” “That was bad of me. A breach of hospitality. My good septon has been scolding me.” 😩😩😩🙏🏻

can’t say i’m much of a blackfyre defender, but eustace osgrey shows such a complex and compelling side to the loser of a civil war and his story is just so tragic and beautifully portrayed… oh, george rr martin truly is a beast of a writer

rohanne webber tracing her fingers through dunk’s drawn tunic in his chest and round his heart and him thinking “i’ll bet she’s freckled all over” and wondering why his mouth is oddly dry while this happens and this is THE FIRST TIME THEY MEET. IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. oh their season will be sooooooo steamy and yearny

“"Some knights never name their horses," Dunk told him. "That way, when they die in battle, the grief is not so hard to bear. There are always more horses to be had, but it's hard to lose a faithful friend." Or so the old man said, but he never took his own counsel. He named every horse he ever owned. So had Dunk.”the sweetie that he is 🥰🥰🥰🥰

“The world made no sense when a great prince died so a hedge knight might live.”

“I dreamed of you” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"Poor Maekar."
"Poor?" said Dunk, startled. "The king's son?"
"The king's fourth son," said Raymun, "not quite as bold as Prince Baelor, nor as clever as Prince Aerys, nor as gentle as Prince Rhaegel.
And now he must suffer seeing his own sons overshadowed by his brother's." maekar, the failbrother icon that you are!

maekar, maekar, maekar, maekar…

“‘A falling star brings luck to him who sees it’, Dunk thought. ‘But the rest of them are all in their pavilions by now, staring up at silk instead of sky. So the luck is mine alone.’”🫶🏻
