Gotta say one of the funniest things I’ve ever read in a book was Matthias Helvar thinking that in order to stop worrying and thinking about Nina (because he’s head over heels in love with her, shh) was to put his head in a bucket

Nina and Matthias when they first met be like
Matthias: I can take care of myself! I don't need your charity!
Nina: You have a fever. I need to-
Matthias: Don't touch me with your filthy hands!
Nina: Listen here you little bitch. I don't like you either, but I'm not going to let you suffer when I know I can do something to help. So shut the fuck up and let me do my job.

These Ships Permanently Altered My Brain Chemistry
Drukkari (Druig + Makkari)
“My beautiful, beautiful Makkari. Did you miss me?”
Kanthony (Kate Sharma + Anthony Bridgerton)
“You are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires.”
Helnik (Matthias Helvar + Nina Zenik)
“I’m not done tormenting you.”
Aliser (Alison Heywood + Declan Fraser)
“No Miss Heywood, simple is not plain. True beauty needs no adornment.”
Corianne (Connell Waldron + Marianne Sheridan)
“I think it’s pretty obvious I don’t want you to leave.”

Hi, so I write songs and poems. They are all based on book couples or smt like that and I was wondering if anyone here would actually be interested in seeing those songs. I started writing over a year ago, quit cos of some judgment, and started again a few weeks ago and I think I’ve been fairly productive? My friends said I should probably post them here because I apparently I’m acc good at this and deserve in their words, “more compliments so it gets in your thick head that you’re good at this shit”. Thank you friends. Anyways, I will be putting in the tags the couple I have written for so far and if anyone sees this post and wants to be in the tag list then either dm, comment or reblog and I’ll do it. If barely anyone cares and some people acc do then I’ll send them through dms! Ok, that’s all I wanted to say.
(If you like I won’t know whether or not you want to be in the tag list so pls do the things I asked so you can be added if I choose to post!)

He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.

Matthias: Alright, we're in trouble. We need to call the Ravkans for help
Nina: But they'll be all condescending and judgemental about it
Matthias: Nina they raised YOU, of course they're going to be condescending and judgemental about it

I saw a blue highlight from SoC. Those are ones that made me cry :) Here you go
Six of Crows
"Sleep is a luxury at Hellgate. It's a danger. But when I slept, I dreamed of you."
Her head snapped up.
"That's right," he said. "Every time I closed my eyes."
"What happened in the dreams?" she asked, eager for an answer, but fearing it, too.
"Horrible things. The worst kinds of torture. You drowned me slowly. You burned my heart from my chest. You blinded me."
"I was a monster."
"A monster, a maiden, a sylph of the ice. You kissed me, whispered stories in my ear. You sang to me and held me as I slept. Your laugh chased me into waking."
"You always hated my laugh."
"I loved your laugh, Nina. And your fierce warrior's heart. I might have loved you, too."
Might have. Once. Before she had betrayed him. The words carved an ache into her chest.
She knew she shouldn't speak, but she couldn't help herself. "And what did you do, Matthias? What did you do to me in your dreams?"
The ship listed gently. The lanterns swayed. His eyes were blue fire. "Everything," he said, as he turned to go. "Everything."

I had a realization
How similar the situations of Matthias from Six of Crows and Peeta from The Hunger Games are.
The druskelle had drilled it into Matthias' head to loathe and kill Grisha, that they were all evil and it was against the laws of nature for them to exist, similarly Peeta had been hijacked by the capitol to believe that katniss was a monster responsible for all the downs in his life.
Both try to overcome the toxicity, the contempt and revulsion that haunted them day and night, to understand, to allow themselves to love (Nina and Katniss) and not resent themselves for it. The pain they had to face, the guilt that gnawed away at them for feeling like they betrayed their family.
It's not just the blond hair and blue eyes, it's how they fought against the trauma for the ones they loved, the same bitterness they felt when convinced that the other betrayed them, the hunger for revenge they both felt, to not be able to distinguish between what was real and what wasn't, to question their whole beings, and the sheer strength of mind and extraordinary courage they showed. They made it through the storm, never really the same, but stronger.
And do I even have to talk about the loyalty and immense love they have for Nina and Katniss?
Also the parallels when Matthias was imprisoned in Hellgate and Nina did anything and everything to get him out and away from the torture. Peeta in the Capitol being hijacked and Katniss starting a revolution for him.
I love my boys so much ❤️

I love how enemies to lovers fans will read about the slightest of interactions between the two characters and be fawning all over them.
THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER OMG THE TENSION, THE PASSION I CAN'T-
