it’s happening

as always, pls don’t break the thread! and i’m gonna say sorry to my mutuals bc they are going to see a lot of tweets about me reading this book.. i’m sorry

-also, english is not my first language so i’m sorry if i make mistakes while tweeting-

THE FIRST THING THAT THIS GIRL SAYS IS “I have a heart for every year i’ve been alive” AND IM

THE SIRENS HAVE ONE EYE WITH THE COLOR OF THE SEA THEY WERE BORN INTO???? i will love to imagine that, thank you very much

“and lips painted with the blood of sailors” BITCH??? i am in LOVE

“...and by killing them, i kill the future”

THIS IS SOMETHING NEW I FEEL: ATTACKED

she just used her voice as a bait to drown a prince and steal his heart-

THERES A NEW CHARACTER NARRATING AND HIS FIRSTS WORDS ARE “Technically, i’m a murderer” I’m-

sir i-

tell me why do i feel attracted to both of the main characters

“I’m far more pirate than a prince, anyway” sircanyoukillme?

“She’s sixteen,” my father chides. “A child should be allowed to live her life and not worry about an entire kingdom.” ...

yeah well tell that to fucking elara merandus

not to be me but I LOVE the way they describe people- it feels so powerful

“I wonder if this is the way you behave with the humans, too. Tell me, Lira, do you cry for their broken hearts?”

the meaning behind those sentences are just uGH- wonderful

i love this

bitch not with a sailor heart

“I do feel poorer just looking at you”

they are planning to kill the sea queen- elian i hope you are thinking with your head and not your pride

BITCH DOES THAT MEANS WHAT I THINK IT MEANS??!/?)/??/?!

“What does he think could possibly have the power to destroy me?”

i’m just.. so in love with her

SHE JUST RIPPED OFF THE HEAD OF A MERMAID BITCH IM

“They howl at the possibility of death and how much company they’re going to have in it. They’re insane and wonderful.”

I JUST FELT THIS STRANGE WARM IN MY CHEST WHILE READING THAT, they are gonna get killed TOGETHER

“Long live Princess Yukiko of Págos.”

I LOVE THOSE POWERFUL WOMEN SO MUCH GOODBYE MY HEART CANT HANDLE THIS ANYMORE

“I think about what a shame it is that she’s twice my age, because she’s striking when she’s wicked, and wild underneath the pretense.”

stop being afraid of power

“If you give me that map, I’ll make you my queen.”

IM SSTDUFUGUJFYDTDTJKIT

wait a damn minute- are we going to see lira wearing pirate clothes?

she doesn’t know what love is- the word “love” doesn’t have a translation in their language and she only have hear about it in the songs that she sings to enchant princes- she has only hear about love when a enchanted prince say it moments before she killed them

i’m

“all I want is to kill the prince, and though I may not know what love is, I’m sure it isn’t that.”

tell them lira, go ahead and fucking tell them

HER MOTHER IS GONNA KILL HER DARCHXJHKHJJ not literally bc she needs a legacy but we don’t care about that right now bc we are afraid

bitch forget what i said

“You think you’re the Princes’ Bane.” The Sea Queen roars with laughter. “But you are the prince’s savior.”

BITCH SHUT UPPP, don’t insult her like tHAT

she cried the first time she had to take off the heart from a prince and her mother made her kill her own aunt to be forgiven for showing emotions while killing a human... she was fucking twelfth, lira sweetie i’m so sorry

“there’s a difference between liking someone and trusting them.”
“I wouldn’t know. I’ve never done either.”

I LOVE THAT GIRL I SWEAR I JUST IMAGINE HER SAYING THAT WITH AN STRONG ACCENT AND IM MELTING

elian is in eidyllio to fuck-

“Touch me,” I tell him, “and I will break every one of your fingers.”

i am so sorry but i really -REALLY- have a big fat crush on lira

ay no lira what did you do- i pretend i did NOT see that

lira you dumb strong and beautiful bitch

shes smiling with the crew

how could you know about power if you never read when lira said “I’ll take the eye and the Sea Queen’s throne along with it.”

“unless Lira wanted to be clothed like a pirate, which I doubted.”

bITCH THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED BUT YALL TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY AND THROW IT IN THE TRASH, i’m so mad

excuse me sir but do you knOW who you are talking to? that bitch is the daughter of the fucking sea queen and she can rip your head off with her bare hands if she wanted to

THE FACT THAT LIRA CANT SING WITH THEM BC HER MOM TOOK HER SINGING AWAY ITS MAKING ME SO ANGRY

“And you didn’t answer my question. Are you ever going to grace us with your voice?”
“Believe me, I’d like nothing more.”

she was ment to reproduce with a mermen- i’m gonna throw up lira i’m so sorry

“I’m glad the captain agreed to let you stay,” Madrid says.”

MADRID I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, COME HERE I WANNA GIVE YOU A HUG

“Are you upset?” I ask, raising an eyebrow. Humans are so sensitive.”

no this can’t be that part bc in the movie there’s a scene where ariel and the prince are in a boat singing and stuff before all the ursula shit happened

“I’m talking about the look on your face,” she says. “Your human grief.”

bitch fuck you i hope they kill you by the end of the book

my heart is POUNDING

sHE HAS A PIRATE HAT ALSJOAJSIJA GOODNIGHT TO YALL, I ALWAYS WIN

“Since when did you become one of us?”

kye shut up i’m tired of your comments, go and drink some coffe man you need to relax

“If I remember rightly,” he says, with a look that is far too smug, “you were willing to sacrifice your life for a necklace.”
“I was willing to sacrifice yours first,” I say.”

ugh you two need to kiss already

“Long after the rest of the crew disappears into sleep, Elian and I sit together”

“If you’re here, Kye and that tattooed whore can’t be far off.”

“Looks like a bitch to me.”

i’m going to fucking kill you, you call my goddess lira a bitch again and i’m gonna throw hands

EXCUSE ME?

MA’AM

“Just so we understand each other,” she says, swirling the goblet indifferently, “I’m not his lady.”

i luv women

he is so proud of his ship

SHES GONNA KILL TALLIS

thanks god

SHES GONNA KILL HIM WITH HER BARE HANDS AND NAILS IM-

SHES SO POWERFUL BITCH I CAMT WITH THIS

EXCUSE MA’AM

“with a piece of Rycroft inking the corner of my lips and a smile like the devil goddess who made us all.“

guys i’m so in love

“I’m a killer in every life.”

this moment is so fucking important bc is her first kill as a human, she used to feel powerful when the living organ of a human prince was in her siren hands but this one made her feel grossed out of her own actions

this one made her feel human

ELIAN RETURNED FOR HER AND WHEN HE FOUND HER GOOD AND ALIVE HE HUGGED HER IM IN TEARS

“They came. Not just for their captain, but for the stowaway. The strange girl they found floating in the middle of the ocean. They came for me.”

GUYS IM CRYING

“It’s almost a reflex when I push him out of the bullet’s path.”

NOW IM CRYING BUT BC IM AFRAID, SHE PUSHED HERSELF IN FRONT OF ELIAN WHEN THE ALMOST DEAD BODY OF TALLIS SHOOTED AT HIM

LIRA RECIEVED THE BULLET

madrid just screamed “no”, i’m crying so much

“She looks down at the blood. “It doesn’t burn,” she says, and then buckles to the floor.”

remember when she told us that siren’s blood burned their skin instead of just dripping all over? well she expected her blood to burn, but it didn’t

she forgets that she’s a human now

“but then Lira’s eyes quiver back and there doesn’t seem to be much point in being funny if she isn’t the one to hear it.”

i’m a normal girl, i read this and i cry

i love this so MUCH UGH

you know when character A finds out how much they care about character B just after character B gets hurt? well this is happening right now with elian and lira and let me tell y’all i’m LIVING for this

“Gods.” Kye recoils as I slash open Lira’s dress. “Is she going to live?”
“Do you care?” I snap back.”

i dislike kye so MUCH right now, like goddamn you literally said multiple times how much you wanted her away from elian and dead IN HER FUCKING FACE and now you care about her?

fuck you kye

“I never did. Besides” – Kye shoves a hand into his pocket and sighs through the next words – “she protected you when I couldn’t.”

yeah you useless piece of shit

catch me hating on kye right now to later apologize to him and say that i never disliked him

ay no

elian is watching the nail scars that tallis has all over his arms and chest, scars that lira did- scars that elian has over his own chest, scars that the princes bane did to him

stop remembering about the princes bane, elian, not when she is dying in the dregs of your ship

“That was the thing about sirens. They always went straight for the heart.”

elian stop thinking about that pls i’m begging you

“My crew is not so easily killed.”

he just said that lira is in his crew- i’m

she’s remembering her aunts last words and now she doesn’t think she needs elian’s heart to prove something to her mom

“Become the queen we need you to be”

guys i think this is the moment

GUYS I THINK THEY ARE GONNA KISS IN THIS CHAPTER

GUYSYSYSUSYYDYDGSISYISHS

he’s talking about the princes bane with lira who is, actually, the princes bane herself

im

just kidding they didn’t touch a bit in that chapter, i feel robbed

SHE WANTS HIM TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH HER EYES LIKE SHE HAD SEEM IT THROUGH HIS

i’m sobbing

they are in págos, IM SCAREDAUSGSISHOSGSISG

“Lira flicks up her hood. “You should try not to talk then,” she retorts. “Nobody wants your words being preserved for eternity.”
“They’re pearls of wisdom, actually”

i just love their dinamic so much

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH GOODBYEYEYEYYEYE

the fact that they flirt in front of the crew it’s UGH so pERFECT

i just love when other people feel their tension

bitch sakura is here

“She doesn’t look like a princess; she looks like a queen. A warrior. An adversary.”

AS SHE SHOULD

“Her voice is unduly self-assured, and unlike Lira’s there’s nothing I enjoy about her brand of arrogance.”

we need to talk about this- i swear if elian and lira don’t kiss already i’m gonna lose my patience

“As long as the Princes’ Bane is dead, it won’t matter to me.”

elian you have no idea of who is the princes bane, prepare yourself for a surprise

“Threatening to kill a princess in her own kingdom like that. It’s not your best attempt at humor.”
Lira snatches her hand from mine. “Kye thought it was funny.”

why lira is me

guys i’m crying

“We are not naïve little heirs to be molded as they wish. We are warriors. We are rulers.”

SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

i know they are suppose to hate each other but all i feel with this interaction are sparks

“Come with me” COMO QUE COME WITH ME ELIAN WHAT ARE HOU SAYING

IS THIS THE CHAPTER???

“It feels like the entire world is asleep. And us – just us – we are finally awake.”

IS THIS THE CHAPTER????

GUYS

NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY NOWAYNOWAYNOWAYNOWAY NO WAY NO WAY N O W A Y NO WAYY NOWAYNOWAYNOWAY

“Are you ever going to kiss me?”
Slowly, Elian says, “That’s not a favor.”

GUSYSYSYYSYSYSYSYYSYSYSYYSYSYYSYSYSYSYYSYSYSYSYYSYSYS

“How strange that instead of taking his heart, I’m hoping he takes mine.”

GUYS IM CRYING THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR MY WEAK SOUL

“Just do it already,” I say.
And he does.”

WHY IS THIS AFFECTING ME SO MUCH IM REALLYCRYING I HATE BEING ALIVE SOMETHING BAD IS GONNA HAPPEN NOW I KNOW IT

SIREN BLOOD???????????

guys what is happening

elian knows that lira is the princes bane

i don’t want to keep reading, i’m very scared of what is gonna happen now

he is gonna kill her but she is not gonna die

i’m crying

“I can assure you,” I tell Yukiko, “the next time I face her, I won’t even blink.”
I feel the compass jolt against my hand and, slowly, the pointer shifts.”

he didn’t killed her but i have no idea of what is gonna happen now

so her mother is there now

and only the one who dropped their blood over the eye of kletos can use it so that makes me feel more calm bc it means that only lira can use the eye of her goddess

we are fine

“That sounds like quite the plan. If only it was what I had in mind.”

GO LIRA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the sea queen called an army- i’m fucking afraid of what is going to happen

“Stupid girl,” she whispers, and then – as though it’s the worst thing she could utter – “stupid human girl.”

“Be on your best behavior,” I say.
She lowers her crossbow and frowns. “What?”
I nod to the center of the chaos. “We’re in the presence of royalty.”

i’m genuinely scared of what is going to happen

MADRID NOOO

KYE ME CAES TAN MAL AL CHILE ME TENÉS HARTA

“Tha pethánete,” she barks.
“Sorry, I rub a hand over my throat. “I don’t speak bitch.”

ELIAN IAHSKAJAIAJKAJSKAJSJSJA

“When you die,” she says, “do you think my daughter will weep?”
I lift my knife. “Kill me and find out.”

my eyes are alert

“By falling for a monster, I have become one for her.”

MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE, ELIAN MY POOR BABY YOU ARE DOING JUST GREAT OK? YOU ARE DOING FINE

NOOOOO DONT CUT HER TONGUE PLS IM BEGGING

“Long live the Princes’ Bane.”

“Only Elian didn’t need to take my heart; I gave it to him.”

“I grin, feeling more wicked than I have in so long. “Your heart,” I say, and I kiss him.”

i’m crying i just love them so much

“Don’t say something heroic and self-sacrificing,” he tells me. “Because then I might start thinking you’ve actually got some humanity in you.”
I smirk. “That would be boring.”

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

“two armies stare back at us. Human and siren, side by side. Waiting for their prince and their princess to deliver the promised end.”
