Warner and Juliette - Shatter Me

Artist: @artoffrostandflame

[luna-and-the-waves]

I’m VERY excited to show you the back cover of Speak Now (my version) including the vault tracks and collaborations with Hayley Williams from Paramore and Fall Out Boy. Since Speak Now was all about my songwriting, I decided to go to the artists who I feel influenced me most powerfully as a lyricist at that time and ask them to sing on the album. They’re so cool and generous for agreeing to support my version of Speak Now. I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and can’t wait to unveil it all to you on July 7th http://store.taylorswift.com

Twilight x ACOTAR character parallels

ok hEAR ME OUT -

it is generally agreed upon at this point that nesta and cassian have the same energy as emmett and rosalie both individually and as a couple, but you're gonna tell me this doesn't apply to the read of the main characters as well?

while I like ACOTAR a million times better (and think the characters are healthier versions of their Twilight counterparts), you can't deny the similiarities.

feyre and rhys as a couple have bella and edward energy - main character shit all over the place. both feyre and bella are major softies but can be total badasses when they need to be. they also sort of act as the glue in the family. and, just like with edward and bella, feyre sort of draws rhys back into his family once they get together.

azriel def has jasper energy - the same people who thought jasper was hotter than edward think that azriel is hotter than rhysand, tell me I'm wrong. az is also a little on the outskirts of the group just like jasper is.

the only one that doesn't totally fit for me is alice, and I think this will become more clear when miss sarah reveals who's endgame for az. I'm not an ezriel stan, but I can't deny that elain gives alice vibes through the whole seer thing. BUT gwyn captures the alice bubbly/fun energy waaaay more than elain.

this doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but I still find it interesting!!

side note: tamlin gives real toxic jacob energy too - AND HES A FUCKING WOLF

I'm telling y'all, this is perfect

Honestly obsessed with Fourth Wing ⚔️🐉

Fourth Wing Spoilers!!

Just thinking about the fact that Brennan’s met Tairn before and probably told him all about his little sister Violet. So Tairn very much does know exactly who and what she is.

Violet Sorrengail from Fourth Wing🐉 Excited to see how my interpretation of her will develop and change with time.

She angled her head, hair shining like molten metal. “Do you sing?” 

He blinked. It wasn't every day that people took him by surprise, but... “Why do you ask?" 

“They call you shadowsinger. Is it because you sing?”

“I am a shadowsinger—it's not a title that someone just made up.”

She shrugged again, irreverently. Az narrowed his eyes, studying her. “Do you, though?” she pressed. “Sing?”

Azriel couldn't help his soft chuckle. “Yes.”
