Is Enzo on the spectrum or is this one of those times where we give a character a ton of neurodivergent attributes and not acknowledge it?

Why do all these mobsters have ocd

Not that I have anything against characters that have ocd (I have ocd)—but can’t we get a little more creative?

Cuinn is not allowed to lose his wings istfg

“You’re serious?”
“Deadly,” he said, then smiled. “So, can I come?”

Deadly.
🦶

“Gone to Arataire, where he’s safe with his family.”

Nooooooooooo

“Most of the parchment of sale was burned away, but we got a name of the new owner. Venador.”

Was it planted, tho?

ALLIRA? ANOTHER A-NAME???

Tarcos and his sketchy ass can fuck off thx

“I’ve never felt aggression from the ahara, or any malevolent intent.”

So it’s not the Ahara. It’s the general.
Mithanis’ family.
Az’s family.

“She decided against mentioning her wing buds being cut out.”

Still don’t buy it

Holy fucking shit.
Mithanis didn’t kill Raya, did he? It was Az, pitting them against each other.

NO BABIES
YOU HEAR ME?
NO BABIES

“Very distantly. We share great-grandparents.”

Aelin and Rowan pt. 2

“As he leaned towards her, she moved up to meet him, wrapping an arm around his neck as their lips met.”

Suddenly?? I mean- ight then? 💀

“We’re going to request the Montagni liaison post,” Cynia said.

Oh, no. Don’t do that. She can’t lose y’all too.

“I think someone is trying to get you to join the Dumnorix court.”

Once again: TARCOS??

“The only thing I can come up with is the Armun… they can find out anything on anyone.”

So… Tarcos?

What a long game the Prince of Games is playing

“If that happens, we’ll impose more taxes,” Azrilan said. “The humans will eventually get the message and stop helping the Shadowhawk.”

You would say that. Maybe you want dissent. And encouraging Cuinn to voice his disapproval of the tax would only make Mithanis want to do it more. On principal.

“You’re saying no to me because of him?”

Sus mf

“And Da, they were aiming for you, not him.”

Maybe it never mattered who died, if hurting Talyn was the ultimate end goal?

“Tirigan recognised that arrow. He’d seen one just like it before.”
“Where?”
“It’s identical to the one that killed Sari. The same colour fletching and carvings on the shaft.”

So it’s always been about Talyn? Like that Vengeance vigilante said?

“But she still didn’t understand how Mithanis fit in.”

He doesn’t. Az does.

That’s… it?

“You fell in ‘love’ in spite of yourself, regardless of everything you know about me. You think you’re in love with me and even you have a hard time believing it.”

I hate to say it, but she has a point, Beck.

“You do realize that referring to any woman as someone’s territory is offensive, don’t you, Nick?”

He definitely doesn’t but he’ll pretend to if it gets him in your pants

“I won’t tell you where his body is buried, but just know that I eat cake there sometimes when the weather’s just right.”

“She was living with you, for God’s sake. Low-hanging fruit like everything else in your life. Make an effort to be more, Colin. To be better.”

Why do both of their parents suck ass. It’s triggering my parental trauma

“Please. God.” I didn’t want to beg, but I felt desperate when I said, “Just let me explain.”
“I don’t even care, Colin. Goodbye.”

Ooooh. Apathy. Love’s true nemesis.

“I felt a little bit like Olivia; I was terrified because it seemed unbelievably perfect.”
