me when gwynn does murders: was that really necessary?
me when raule murders someone: i support women's wrongs!!!

gwynn stop stealing all the story time pls i want my girl raule back

im here for raule and monster baby autopsies and yet im forced to read about men and their stupid murders

all fun and games but i want more of My Girl Raule :(

oh my god that scene of raule and the crocodile baby had no right to hit this hard "How could I witness this and not be profoundly changed in some way?" // "She began to wonder if it wasn't only her conscience she'd lost, but if, like some wind-eroded stone in the Copper Country, she was gradually losing more of herself to a force of attrition that she inderstood no better than the stone understood the wind."

more fantasy novels should have chapters solely dedicated to drunk philosophical debates about the existence of god and the nature of reason

"Few people understood death's workings. The moment when a life ended was as mysterious as the moment it began. A corpse not cold was like a child in the womb: a golem-thing, neither truly alive nor truly un-alive."
//
"It occured to Raule that all children were monsters in the world and were instinctively aware of it. They were reminded of their anomalous nature by adults, whom they failed to resemble"
