Status Updates From 酒与枪

«Algunas lágrimas se derramaron involuntariamente por las comisuras de sus ojos, manchándolos y haciendo que brillaran.
—Pero aquellos ojos seguían sonriendo.»

te amo albariño, estoy segurisima que serías super fan de lana del rey 😘❤️‍🔥

》But in reality, these are two separate stars which cannot be distinguished from each other because they are too close, forming a binary star system.” His voice was light and slow, as if he were thoughtful. “Two stars, orbiting around the same center of mass on their own separate orbits. For humans, they look so bright only because we combine their light together.《

"I want to gouge you out, I want to chisel you! Like Michelangelo chiselling his Madonna, like the Swallow gouging out the prince's eyes! I want to make you bleed, for every drop of your blood calls to my thirst."

Is it too early to say that this is my favourite read of 2026... Because I think it is 😭🫡

I'm starting to feel anxious💀

bruh it's too good💀

“Because I love him,” Herstal answered softly, as if this answer had been brewing in his heart for a long time, and it was spoken with little thought, “and thus his destination only lies with me or death.”

even tattooing this on my heart wouldn’t be enough to describe how much this arc has possessed me

read another chapter despite the buddyread bc i was getting withdrawals and opened the chapter to a character death. and teared up a little... okay.

it's like hannibal and dexter (but gay) combined

all i did today was eat, sleep, and read this. no class was attended... no work was done... but 100% worth it 😌😌 the question of whether a psychopath can fall in love or not is holding me captive

i am so addicted... their dynamic is the most fucked-up thing ever but, also somehow just sooo beautiful

actually well-done bloodplay with a knife held to the throat 😝😝 peak…

my hope is that this is somewhat similar to hannibal in any way

Might finish this tomorrow because my ebook actually ends at 94%, everything after that are the footnotes lol

“I will write poetry with my blood, I will write poetry with the juice of my eyeballs, with the marrow of my bones and saliva, and I will bite it letter by letter into your body.” - ok I am no longer upset about the lack of an “I love you” confession because this is so much better

Of -course- I hit my reading stride just as my vacation is about to end. UGH

Albarino going on a killing rampage after his lover gets arrested is couple goals

Aaah I missed Olga so much! Not only had she known the identities of the killers all along (which honestly wasn’t hard to guess), but seeing her catch up to everything and figure everything out days after waking from a coma is just hilarious xD how she saw thru Herstal’s plot immediately. I wonder what her end game is since she’s pretty much helping both the serial killers now.

Well that was the most insane love confession ever. Followed by a farewell. My heart 🥲

“So let us embrace whatever fate may come our way. After all, life has no meaning if we can’t do as we please.”

You know your life is fucked if Albarino is the voice of reason lol

Not Albarino planning on letting the kids die. I keep forgetting he literally is an unfeeling psychopath who puts no value on human life (and basically only cares about Herstal because he finds him entertaining lol)

"I think it would be valuable to refer to Dr Bacchus' judgement in this case," Mercader said slowly with a slight smile, "After all, we all know that although he's a forensic pathologist, he has a killer's intuition."

Mercader you sassy little bastard :D Calling Albarino out like that in front of the entire police department, how cold :D

So I am like 99% sure Olga knows the identities of both the Pianist and the Gardener but just like in the Robo case, she respects the game (the hunt?) and she has no proof so she is waiting for them to make a mistake - since she'd never plant evidence or break the rules of the game. She is as crazy as them (and doesn't care about the victims), she knows their identities and is just waiting with a smile on her face
