Noi (in & out) > Recent Status Updates

I'm sorry to be cheezy but I just got to 510 friends and 300 followers and I just have to take a second to say thank you. I have been on GR since 2013 and only became interactive this year. I could not have imagined I'd get to talk to so many kind people and have so much fun reading with you all.

I promise to keep spamming you with my updates, and I promise to try with my reviews (Maybe even IG)

Love you 💕

"Nova attempted to act sympathetic—how awful, how boring, how can anyone stand it?"

Valiant effort 🤣

“Hold on. You’re a superhero?” said Oscar, feigning shock. Then he leaned against her shoulder, batting his eyelashes. “Did you know, I’ve always wanted to be rescued by a superhero?” Ruby laughed and shoved him away, even as her cheeks reddened. “You make a terrible damsel, Oscar.”

LOVE THEM

"... It was an announcement for the annual Sidekick Olympics happening that weekend at City Park. “Sidekick Olympics, awesome,” said Oscar. “I’ve been thinking the superhero gig has gotten to be too much pressure. A sidekick role sounds much more laid-back.”

“Were you worried?” said Adrian. “No.” “What? Not at all?” Max started to respond and Adrian knew it would be to deny it again, but he hesitated and admitted, “Maybe for about five seconds or so, but I knew you’d be fine.” “

I love Max and Adrian's relationship

“I’m only going to say this once, Adrian. Do not try to go after ***** by yourself. Or any of the Anarchists, for that matter. You understand? It’s dangerous.”
Adrian pushed up his glasses and opened his mouth to speak.
"And don’t try to tell me that dangerous is how superheroes are supposed to operate.” Adrian snapped his mouth shut.

Love me a good parent moment in a YA fantasy.

"Superheroes are only as good as their conviction. Sometimes, a smile is the most powerful weapon we have."

Ruby: "...She was just all—Oh, Smokescreen! I’ve been dreaming of your smoldering smokiness all my life!”
...
Oscar nodded. “I’ve found that my smoldering smokiness does have that effect on people.”
...
“Yep,” said Oscar, idly swinging his cane. “She’s pretty much in love with me.” “Who isn’t, right?” said Danna, flashing a cheeky grin. “Exactly. Thank you, Danna.”

Love Oscar

“Sketch?” Gasping, he spun around. Nova stood on the other side of the street, peering at him like he was an unknown amphibious species she was preparing to dissect. “Nova,” he stammered, hurrying back up the hill and stepping over the guardrail. “Er—Insomnia. Hi.”

🤭

"Earn their trust. Learn their weaknesses. Then, destroy them."

🫣

“Hey, guys?” he started, feeling the pulse of adrenaline all over again. “You’re going after her,” said Ruby. “Yeah, we know.” “Better be fast about it,” said Oscar. “You know Nova’s not going to save any of the glory for you.” Adrian’s lips flickered in a grateful smile, and he ran.

I'd expect nothing less

“I’ve been dreaming of this my whole life,” she whispered. “To be rescued by a real Renegade.” She simpered, regarding Oscar as if he were the eighth wonder of the modern world. “Thank you… thank you so much for saving my life.” His cheeks reddened. “Uh… yeah. You’re welcome.” Oscar glanced at Ruby, uncertain, but when he stood up, his chest was puffed out more than it had been. “All in a day’s work.” Ruby snickered

"No wonder you're so strong. You have to carry your enormous ego around."

"Oh oh." 💀🤣

“You never answered my question”
“What question?”
“*******?”
“Are you asking?” Adrian hesitated. She was watching him closely, her blue eyes curious, but also nervous. Somehow, seeing his own uncertainty mirrored back at him helped to ease the anxiety knotted inside his chest. He tugged her closer, until their toes were nearly touching. She didn’t resist, didn’t look away. “I’m asking” he said
🙉🙊

""So … thank you.” He met Nova’s gaze. “For trying to *********.” “Even if I had no idea what I was doing and really just ended up making things worse?” His smile broadened. “Even if.”

“Never. She’s one of us now, whether she likes it or not.”

“Do you think I might be evil?” 💔

“He was just being friendly..” This was true, she thought, though she also knew it didn’t explain the warmth rushing into her face. Or why Danna’s insinuations made her stomach flutter.. when Adrian was around... all she really wanted to do was study him.. When he was smiling, she found herself holding her breath to see if the smile would brighten enough to show off those elusive dimples.."

This made my heart happy

"And lastly, my personal favorite.” The final book depicted an armor-clad woman riding a dragon. “Don’t judge the cheesy artwork. The story is genius.”"

Words I've definitely said before

The ending of chapter 33? I can't

"He decided in that moment that he wouldn’t regret the decision to ... he wouldn’t regret it, so long as she was okay."

You did not just do this to me *cry emoji*

"... he hoped Nova would think the gesture was thoughtful... He hoped maybe they’d be able to sit and talk, because he kept thinking about the night spent in the office building across from the library and how it had been really nice to talk to her. To get to know her, at least a little. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to know her even better..."

He is so cute

“Well,” Oscar said brightly as the elevator doors shut behind them, “that could have been worse. They say probation—I hear vacation.”

He’s giving me Benji vibes

“Nova shut her eyes and thought, if she were a villain worthy of the name, she would be with them now. Celebrating, or mourning. And if she were a hero, she would be hurrying to help any Renegades who might be trapped and hurt beneath the rubble. Instead, she listened to the sounds of a city in distress, and did nothing.”

I’m officially loosing it because this made me hmm ‘I’m not a girl not yet a woman’

“Only when it became too difficult to frown did she realize she was already smiling.”

🥺

“… not if he still believed there was a child needing to be rescued. Somehow, though she knew so little about Adrian, she knew this for sure. He would not have left so long as he believed someone needed his help.”

😩

"I can be your salvation, but you will be our damnation if you do not let me... I can be a patient man because you are everything. Or you will be. If I have to chase you for a thousand years, I will."

Is it hot in here? 🥵

WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED

What. Just. Happened?
