Your favorite Lalia quote!

"I regret nothing. When we were little and you declared you would never look at me again because I stepped on your toes, so I cut your braid off to see how serious you were? Yeah. Your face when you whipped around to scream at me was so funny that I'd do it again. That time we went swimming in the lake even though Grimgram told us not to and we ended up covered in leeches? Definitely. The weather was too beautiful to stay inside. Coming here in your place? A thousand times. A million times. I love you, Sevy, I honestly love you this much."

- Shrimp

"I hope the Koch brothers are reunited soon." Tea, TeaBH

- Mattio

"Denali contemplates the question and how it feels so much like talking about her haircut, like it's more than the words she says. "Always," she decides, as if trying to convince herself of something she's not quite certain she believes yet. "Always, Denali.""

- Kay

Moments pass, then minutes. You want to ask for another hug, a bigger one, but instead you finally manage to ask the question you've been wondering this whole time. "Am I next?"

"I think you have to be."

- Cass

“Huffing, she wraps her arms around her legs and absently digs her fingers into one of the holes in her aggressively plaid over the knee socks as she studies the map she's spent the train ride here stitching onto the jacket, using a hand drawn map as reference. It was intended to be a new battle jacket to fight off her impatience with, days cooped up as district after still-not-the-district-she-wanted-to-be-in-already passed by in a blur. She never expected that finding Lex's house would actually be so difficult as to need to hunker down and really reference a map she thought she had effortlessly memorized by now.”

- Zori

"You've only got the guts to kill someone when the rules allow it." Shoving the flare gun into Circe's hand, she kisses the mouth of the firearm to her own forehead, dead center. It's Gunner's hand wrapped around Circe's hand, wrapped around death. "So let's play a game." ~Gunner La Torre

- Thundy

Besides, it can't have been that bad. There was pie.

- Aya

at the grocery store and can't look it up askdjfh but I've been thinking several times lately about that Denali post where she covers Lex's blood with the sleeping bag so the rain doesn't wash it away and says that no one gets to pretend that fight didn't happen

It's an ALL STARS GAMES! Which tribute from Lalia would you wanna see walk back into the werkroom and say something like "I'm here to show these queens that I've still got it!"

Finally, some good ol' classic' birthday love <3

Happy birthday! You're wonderful and I hope you can get ramen soon.
