Aelin: *Falls*
Rowan: Are you okay?
Aelin: Make a wish, you just saw a falling star.
Rowan:
Rowan: Sure
Aelin: So next question, you're in love with Dorian.
Manon: That's not a question.
Aelin: So you agree it's a fact?
Manon: Yes.
Aelin: Buzzard, I am cold.
Rowan: Well, then put on your jacket.
Aelin: But what about my outfit?
Rowan: You just said you're co-
Aelin: OUTFIT, ROWAN!
Lorcan:*wears dark grey*
Aelin: Bringing out the spring colours, I see.
Imagine if Aelin Galathyniys met Nikolai Lantsov.
I don't even know where to start.
Computer: Enter a password
Rowan: *Types Aelin*
Computer: password is too weak.
Rowan: HOW DARE YOU PATHETIC-
Aedion: I have something that i need to get off my chest...
Lysandra: Your shirt? please say it's your shirt.
Aelin: Is that your dad?
Fenrys: Yes, that's him and Fenrys.
Aelin: He named a dog after you?
Fenrys: No, he named me after the dog.
*aelin, lysandra, and elide listening to All Too Well 10 min TV*
evangeline, from around the corner: FUCK THE PATRIARCHY
elide: does she no what the patriarchy is?
lysandra: she has no clue but i told her this is the only song she’s allowed to swear in so it’s her favorite line
aelin: as it should be FUCK THE PATRIARCHY
Aelin: Hey buzzard, what goes up but never comes down?
Rowan: The amount of fucking stress you give me on a daily basis.
Lorcan: Request for you to not be a bitch.
Aelin: Request denied.
Aedion: I’m hardcore, made of steel, and haven’t been seriously affected by anything in years. Aelin: I caught you crying over baby seals just two hours ago.
Aelin: Fuck you.
Rowan: Later, fireheart. Now, listen.
Fenrys: We should really stop buying plastic skeletons for Halloween, it's bad for the environment .
Aelin: You're right, we should go for all natural, locally sourced skeletons.
Rowan: Just to be sure, are you suggesting grave-robbing or murder?
Aelin: I am not picky.
Aelin: what type of a guy would you describe Dorian as?
Manon: the type of guy to eat two gummy bears at once so they don’t die alone.
Aelin: accurate.
Aelin: I meant the chocolate.
*Rowan regretting his life decisions*
[at dinner]
Aelin: can you pass me my will to live?
Lysandra: Aelin, i can’t toss Rowan across the table.
Elide: Uhh, guys, is that a dragon?
Aelin: This is Chocolate. He is here for emotional support.
Elide: In what way?
Manon: When he breathes fire on Lorcan, we feel positive emotions.
*Lorcan in the background running with his ass on fire*
Officiant: Repeat after me
Cassian: After me
Officiant, turning to Nesta: Are you sure this is the one you want? It's a lifetime commitment...
Dorian: Sorry, it took me so long to bail you out of jail.
Aelin: That’s okay. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have used my one phone call to prank call the police.
The day this happens is the day this world has changed for the better.
Things we should do in English class instead of just Shakespeare:
Compare & contrast a Rick Riordan book, an original Greek myth, and/or a retelling like Song of Achilles
Instead of talking about poetic devices, look for imagery, symbolism, and color theory in comics/graphic novels/Webtoons (Lore Olympus is a great example!!)
Analyze a Broadway musical instead of a Shakespeare play. (There’s SO MUCH to unpack in Dear Evan Hansen)
Have half the class read a book, and the other half listen to the audiobook. Do the audiobook kids have more similar interpretations? How much does the inflection and (unsaid) thoughts of the narrator influence ones takeaway?
10k notes and I’ll show this to my English teacher
