#someone explain why im down so bad for kaz and inej

[southslates]

i think love is wanting to get drunk on their laughter, love is cursing them and all their saints with a smile on your face. love is the shore after the shipwreck, it is walking with each other, meeting each other step for step, promising that you will never stop fighting for each other. love is thinking someone is worth saving, love is taking off armor in unison, in understanding that there will be good and bad days but that you'll always keep trying. love is drowning and thinking of something mundane about them, love is taking up the challenge of being worthy of them, love is being the voice leading them back from hell. love is wishing they would just destroy you so they would hurt less, love is telling them they should never be dangerous to you and then feeling blissfully happy when they do. love is letting go but staying together, love is long winter nights in their window, love is feeding their birds and holding their hands and letting them lift you up.

love can be born in the most tragic places, most tragic cities, most tragic stories. love always has a place if you never stop fighting for it.

#someone explain why im down so bad for kaz and inej #its something about them #nothing else is able to hit me the same #i think the story of two people who are fundamentally sold as these broken characters #finding love and healing alone but also not having to give up each other for it is so beautiful #especially coming out of a place which is full of the ableist you should ship characters with therapy rhetoric #everyone deserves a right to love and in that case where do you throw the line idk #anyway i think kaz and inej hit different because they're very unique in that #they're a story about love that isn't needed #but it's wanted #and they have to fight themselves for it and nothing else #its just very powerful as a love story about these kids #gives me hope as like a sixteen year old #not about love just about the goodness in caring for other people #sorry 2am ramblings #kanej #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #shadow and bone #six of crows #okay i am tired #*they don't heal ALONE #i mean their healing doesn't happen BECAUSE of their relationship #they are people outside it but they also work so well together #so yeah healing alone was a bad way to put it but tumblr wont let me edit tags rip #they heal together and thats perfect and doesnt feel cheap in the name of romance
