CARAVAL!! LET'S START THIS BITCH AHHHH!!

I already read the letters, don't mind me

"Did I interrupt something?" "Nothing we can't start up again."

I-

"It was Scarlett," Tells broke in. "I came down here and caught them in the act."

OMFG I WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER-

"It was Scarlett."

HIM TOO, I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA HIM

OHHH SHIT OMGGGG I WAS BAMBOOZLED AND PLAYED LIKE A KAZOO- HE PUNISHES THE OTHER ONE I AM SORRY TELLA AND JULIAN-

Really didn't want to, but we're pausing so I can eat.

"I'm sorry to do this, but you're the one who taught me there is nothing more important than taking care of a sister." Suddenly Julian clamped a cloth over Scarlett's face.

THANK YOU, THIS DUMB BITCH IS STUBBORN-

"The only reason they had any success was because they were as beautiful as angels. And one son, Legend, was rumored to be the most beautiful of all."

I BET HE WAS

"Some would probably call him a villain. Others would say his magic makes him closer to a god."

CHILLS LITERAL FUCKING CHILLS-

Me: I'm reading Caraval for the plot
The plot:

(art by morgana0anagrom on insta)

"It's nothing to be ashamed of," Julian said. "I'm sure lots of young women write him letters. You've probably heard that he never ages. And I've heard he has a way of making people fall in love with him."

WHY'D THEY CALL ME OUT ON THE LAST SENTENCE-

"For Scarlett Dragna, and her companion. I'm so pleased you could make it. -Legend"

Very sexc of you Legend, good job!

"A world built of make-believe. So while we want you to get swept away, be careful of being swept too far away. Dreams that come true can be beautiful, but they can also turn into nightmares when people won't wake up."

I love this book I'm excited-

"They say they don't want us to get too carried away, but that's the point of this game. Legend likes to– play."

Funny, so do I....

Omg far fetched theory but Julian is very sus.... He either works for the caraval, used to work for the caraval, OR he is Legend.... Or idk maybe I'm just being stupid but yeah....

"The innkeeper's face was paler as she locked up the door for a second time."

INCH RESTING.....

"No one ever saw Legend–or if they did, they didn't know it was him–but Legend saw all during Caraval."

1. That's hot
2. Supports my theory!

I have to pause every few minutes while reading because this book is just everything I needed at the moment and I get too excited so I need to calm myself down

"While Scarlett often feared men, Tella was the opposite, always chasing after the wrong ones, hoping one might give her the love their father withheld."

Damn-

Legend laughed and wrapped both hands around her waist. "I didn't invite you here to watch, precious." His mouth moved closer to hers, as if he was about to kiss her. "I want you to play the game," he whispered. Then he threw her off the balcony.

AHAKSNSLSNLS LEGEND-

"Because Tella's fantasy of being a mermaid gave Scarlett hope–that despite their mother's abandonment, and their father's lack of love, her sister could still dream, and that was something Scarlett never wanted to destroy."

SCARLETT IS THE BEST SISTER-

Not me fangirling bcs they used the word "Castillo" and it's also my last name

"That's all right," Scarlett said. "I think I'm quite fine discovering my future as it comes."

GANSEY VIBESSSSS

"I am sorry, but the man you will marry is not what you would call good. At one time, perhaps, but he has turned from that path, and it is not clear if he will turn back."

I feel like he isn't referring to who she thinks he's referring to...

Didn't Dante have a tattoo of a heart or something? ISN'T HE THE GUY WITH A BLACK HEART????

"Scarlett had remembered how Julian had said Dante wanted legend's wish to fix something that happened during an earlier Caraval."

The woman who died that was in the beginning of the letters???

"But even as Scarlett hoped Dante wouldn't notice her, her eyes continued to fall on him. On the sleeves he'd bunched up around his forearms, and the tattoos they exposed. Specifically, a black tattoo shaped like a heart."

WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY- I'M AMAZING-

Hi it's 3 am, we're going to read at least one more chapter so I can at least be halfway done with the book!

"This year's game is not about other people." Aiko's gold-rimmed eyes met Scarlett's. "Other participants aren't missing their sister."

Hmm... This book is so confusing and hard to crack I feel just like Scarlett. WHO IS LEGEND???

Scarlett gave up two days of her life because she DOESN'T KNOW HER TRUE DESIREEEEE-

Was reading a bit before I have to do chores but like THE FUCKING GRANDMA WAS ANNALISE????

Ouu I KNEWWWWW Dante had to do with the dead woman I fucking knew it-

"In every other dream Legend's face had not been clear, but this time she could see him perfectly. His handsome face held no emotion, his light-brown eyes were void of warmth, no hint of a smile curved his lips; He was a shadow of the boy she'd come to know. Julian."

I KNEW IT!

I AM SO FUCKING SMARTT SO FUCKINGGGG SMARTTTT SO GODDAMN SMART LIKE FUNNY THAT EINSTEIN HAS BEEN QUIET EVER SINCE I WAS BORNNNNN

"Somehow she managed to hold back her scream, until she looked down the hall and saw Dante's twisted dead body, and Julian standing over it."

OH MY FUCKIABKWND

"I get that you have problems with trust," Julian went on roughly. "After meeting your father, I don't blame you. But I swear, I'm not Legend."

FUCK I HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED

Legend is the villain? I didn't see it. He's still my favorite and still sexc asf

"Crimson, don't cry because of me." "You think too highly of yourself. My sister's missing, my father has found us, and Dante's dead. These tears are not for you."

OOF-

"I'd appreciate it if you stopped looking at my fianceé like that." "That's funny," the gentleman said. "All this time, it thought she was my fianceé."

WHAT THE FUCK SHUT UP I DON'T BELIEVE IT-

"I'm not afraid of your secrets." "I wish I could say you shouldn't be." Julian stroked her lip a final time, then covered her mouth with his own.

FINA-FUCKING-LLY

That's not her dad I just don't believe it. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE!!!

Looked at a spoiler of a love triangle ..... Dissapointed

"The first clue she'd receive said: And number five requires a leap of faith."

Why do I feel like she'll have to jump out of a window..... Just like the guy in the beginning and Rosa.....

LEGENDDDDDDDD AJBAKSMSLZNOZSLXKXLAMLKXLKALSKX

"I'd suggest you take off your wet clothes, but I've heard you're on the modest side." "I won't say what I've heard about you" Scarlett spit out. "Oh no!" Legend clapped his hands to his chest in a show of mock offense. "People have been saying nasty things about me?"

I love him

"Which is why I've had Julian working with me for the entire game."

I FUCKING KNEWWWWW ITTTT I FUCKING KNEWWW ITTTT

"And it might have been a beautiful moment, if Legend had not chosen the same instant to pull out a knife and stab Julian in the chest."

I'M SORRY WHY'D I LAUGH-
(also I just found out I reused the same meme twice in this thread, I'm sorry)
