I was today years old when I realised Reckless' Jacob & Will are Cornelia Funke giving us Jakob & Wilhelm Grimm? As in, the brothers Grimm, authors of multiple folk / fairytales?!

#don't beat yourself up about this #I am German too and it took me far too long to realise that as well #I think it even wasn't on my own and instead one of the books spelled it out to me

sometimes, it's not so much about the romance as it is about the devotion. the adoration.

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

#almost exactly something that Cornelia said about how she views the love/resonance between Will and Nerron

So I wanted to know what kind of crystal could go in a wizard staff, right? so I googled “big crystal,” as one does, and got an Etsy ad for This

And as you all know I Am currently taking a geology class, so I am probably more emotionally invested in minerals than usual. But that is...very obviously not a natural crystal.

So I did some looking around on Etsy.

Now, these shops all seem to advertise to the “witchy”/“spiritual healing” type of person. And there are a lot of them. Crystals are a Big Thing on Etsy. And ALMOST ALL of them are obviously artificially cut into the same sort of prism with a triangular pyramid top, regardless of the actual sort of crystal it is supposed to be.

Even like, fucking, obsidian. Obsidian is volcanic glass, it doesn’t form crystals at all, it is not a crystal

I’m not throwing any shade at people who are into crystals for like witchy reasons, but it really seems like if crystals are spiritually important to you, you should know what a crystal is...right...?

More male characters who are interested in their mother's legacy. As a trope there's a lot of sons and daughters who follow in the father's footsteps and there's yes, girls who honor their mother, ect. But let's have more dudes who are like. Stumbling on their mom's secret fairy cottage or some shit. And they're like aight gotta make the tea

I could fix him. I could make him worse. Good for you. I could gently take the weapon out of his shaking, blood-soaked hand and hold him until he finally believes that he doesn't have to be defined by all the ways the world has hurt him. Then we could ruin the lives of everyone who has ever treated him like he's a monster who doesn't deserve love.

#jadebastard #peak ship dynamic because #this is about BOTH of them.

A trope that gets to me: 'guard dog' character and their partner who are both fully aware of it and honestly don't care/kind of like it. Someone says "call your guard dog off" and their partner does call them off. That person, their 'guard dog', is someone who is unreservedly, irrefutably loyal to them. Someone undoubtedly dangerous who is willing to kill, to maim, to obey, simply because of their love for one another. There's no manipulation involved— it is loyalty, brutal, dogged loyalty. And it goes both ways.

The jade became human skin as soon as he saw her - as if a mask he wore only for the others was melting. No, he hadn't forgotten anything, neither her nor himself, but Clara wasn't sure if what she saw on his face was love. Relief, even an inkling of triumph - not necessarily a feeling she knew from Will - and ... why that? Guilt.

Some quotes from Golden Yarn that make me feel soo normal

“Die Prinzen dieser Welt träumten davon, ein Gesicht wie Will Reckless zu haben.”

“Das feine, helle Haar, die blauen Augen, der weiche, fast weibliche Mund, er hatte sogar Wimpern wie ein Mädchen. Und man hätte Honiggläser mit seiner Sanftmut füllen können.”

“...aber beim Anblick der Jade in Will Reckless’ Haut überlief Nerron zum ersten Mal das ehrfürchtige Schaudern, das andere ihm beschrieben hatten”

“Der Welpe suchte seinen Blick, mit Augen, die gescheckt waren von Gold. Er bewegte sich anders, als er auf die Füße kam, geschmeidig wie ein Goyl.”

“Aber er wollte nicht denken. Er wollte ihn nur ansehen.”

“Die Jade war Schuld. Nerron spürte die Ehrfurcht, die er bei ihrem Anblick empfunden hatte immer noch.”

“Der Welpe machte keinen Versuch ihn aufzuhalten, aber als Nerron sich irgendwann umsah, blickte er ihm immer noch nach.”

“Von beiden Brüdern betrogen. Warum verzieh er diesem so viel leichter? Warum ritt er dem Welpen weiter nach […]?”

“Die Jade. Nerron hasste es, dass er das Wort nur denken musste, um die Ehrfurcht und die Sehnsucht zu spüren. Nach was? Nach was, verflucht?”

#seeing you post on this blog again makes ME feel sooooooooooo normal

Nerron, to Reckless

Nerron, to Will: Your f*cking brother

Nerron, to Jacob: F*cking your brother

#my cackle at this must have been loud enough for my neighbour to hear #the main proof that nerron really has not hooked up with Will in canon yet is that there is no way he would have not mentioned it to jacob
