the introvert of all introverts + chronic angst writer aka. the local cryptid who showers love once every six months. she/her

hello - welcome to organized chaos!

i'm shadow, but I also go by kae. 14 (DNI if over 24). canadian-american-and-desi (tamil). i write for the inheritance games and pjo, and read everything! interact with me! I suck at social interaction, but if you are kind, I will return the kindness. I write, and reqs are open, but I'm a picky little child, and might just not write it.

my updating schedule is somewhere in heaven, but I aim for once every one/two/three weeks, so come visit every now and then!

hold up that’s such a badass way to greet someone I would steal that but it’s yours to keep

anyway major powerless and reckless spoilers ahead!

i still think paedyn will say “yes” on purpose or by accident. one of the lines lauren released on her instagram is about how kai and paedyn tell each other that they still love each other but they can’t, meaning the wedding preparations might have started and they’re seeing each other in secret. i suddenly started getting this vivid image of kai knocking kitt unconscious and replacing him as the groom for the wedding 😂😭 though I doubt that will happen. by the end of the book, i think kitt will come to realize how he isn’t the one for paedyn and kai needs to be the one marrying her. how that all happens, though, I’ve got no clue

also one of the editions of fearless comes with a fanart of kai and paedyn on a boat, I believe. so since they experienced the forest and the mountains in the first book, ran away to the desert and the graveyards last time, maybe they’ll run away from the palace and sail across the ocean (depicted on the map) this time. i hope Lauren makes it sound different than their experiences in reckless though

anyway my friend is reading powerless, she loves Kitt and hates kai but she thinks kai is better for paedyn. im wondering if her opinions will change once she reads the end of reckless, stay tuned to find out (though she’s had powerless for a week and has only read like a hundred pages into it)

(yw lol! i love chatting about book thoughts)

omg Lauren said that we would visit every part of Ilya on the map by the end of the series, so maybe that’s where the boat comes in??

runaway bride era???

idk if you’ve seen it, but there was smth going around on insta that said the king had a POV in the book? Idk if it’s true but how does the (dead) king that PAEDYN killed have a POV?

(if it’s like a flashback or something ig)

I can honestly imagine Kai knocking Kitt out bc sir you want your girl, we want you to get ur girl and ur brother wants your girl … love makes people do strange things

honestly I just hope kitt either dies or gets therapy.

justice for my fellow blondes (im Indian with fried bleached gold hair) they never get their girls

also who is ur friend and why is she hating on Kai, all he did was exist without a shirt 😭 and flirt with our girl Pae

yes, definitely then

the king?? if so i am not looking forward to that, thats freaky and ugh i hate that bitch so much

kai and Kitt fistfight scene? idk im being unnecessarily delusional sorry

“i hope kitt dies but justice for my fellow blondes” that is such a contradictory statement help 😭

she’s reading the first trial in the woods and she ships them so hard! and she loves the scene where he goes “I don’t like my toys being played with—don’t worry I just said that to make you mad” because it’s so unlike what any other booktok love interest would say

honestly the king fucked so much up I’d probably rip the book to pieces if he showed up.

kitt ain’t fist fighting shit 😭 he’s sad and doesn’t know how to fight, he’s getting knocked out. But it’s LR, and there’s a two percent chance she’ll have him grow magical fighting powers from thin air.

ok but like … the blondes (almost) never get the girl in books which is really sad UNLESS ITS KITT OR GALE FROM HUNGER GAMES OR TAMLIN FROM ACOTAR or anyone from acotar. Fricking hate that book

Oh good she’s joined the dark side (the right side) I fucking love Kai he’s everything that you want but also unique and he’s not a shadow daddy 😅 THANK GOD

WHAT THE FUCK

i missed it last year so i’ve had this scheduled for an entire damn year

I KNEW THE BLUE WAS A GOOD IDEA

ITS BASICALLY THE SAME COLOR AS THE COVER FOR THE SAME BACKWARD AS FORWARD WHEN JLB ANNOUNCED THE FULL NOVELLA WITH A DEMO COVER.

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

Toby Hawthorne x Hannah Rooney, Toby Hawthorne & Avery Grambs (father-daughter platonic) - 2.4k

So I did end up pushing this fic back, but it's only been .. a lot of days. I'm well aware it's a Tuesday, but honestly who cares. I'm dying for the Same Backward as Forward to come out, because I desperately need to know how Toby felt when he held Avery for the first time. But I guess we'll js fanfic our way out. I put a link to this story on Ao3 if you're into that. The Vault just showed back up, which means this place will stop being empty. YAY. This fic stars our favorite father-daughter pair throughout the couple of years we see Avery in TIG. Therefore, in this fic, Hannah (Sarah) isn't alive. So back out anytime, this is HEAVY ON ANGST. HEAVY. SO DAMN HEAVY. There's a few time skips, but that's when we canonically see Toby, so it's fine, just read THL, TFG, or GU if you miss him. TRIGGER WARNING - Eve (that asshole) shows up for a bit. If you're on dark mode, pls switch it rq, I'm sorry this blue is so painful. I'm on dark mode, too, but apparently light mode is more common. The rest of the fic is normal colored soo.... Read and have fun!

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

OMG GUYS I JUST REALISED- In the first book, Cardan had been reading 'Alice in Wonderland' when he wrote Jude's name over and over again in a piece of paper.

But what is Alice in Wonderland about? A young girl, in a 'wonderland' surrounding by people who arent like her, having to make her way through by herself. does that ring a bell about someone we might know??

HE WROTE NAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN CUZ THE BOOK REMINDED HIM OF HER AHHHHHHHHHHHH
