One of the best parts about being a bookworm is judging characters and their life choices.
I love it! You love it! We all love being judgy little watermelon rinds. And this is totally okay if it’s a book character, but less okay if it’s, say, your sister’s ugly hat or your aged mentor in the forest who’s teaching you how to be a wizard but wears crocs. Try not to judge them to their face. However since characters don’t have faces: WE’RE GOOD TO GO HERE!
I was tagged on bookstagram for #MostLikelyBoyBookTag which was super fun and I thought I’d enrich your lives by blogging it too! That is code for: I’ve been blogging for 6 freaking years and am running out of topics so bad I’m starting to panic. * But instead of just talking about boys I’m talking about girls too because this post obviously wants to be intelligent. **
There were only seven “most likely to” topics in the original tag, so I’m adding more! Because people who make tags that don’t have AT LEAST 10 parts are people you can’t trust when you take them grocery shopping. They might buy, like, 9 cupcakes instead of 10 and 10 is the purest number. ***
* SERIOUSLY: if you have post requests I’m not only all ears, I’m all eyeballs too. All 9 of my eyeballs. We need you.
** Haaaah hahahah ha. Just kidding to my male readers! I know for a fact that you’re very intelligent because you’re reading my blog! And scientific tests have been run to conclude that people who read my blog have a very very high IQ or no IQ at all. Fun, right?!?
*** Although after ALL THAT I’m going to have more than 10 because I don’t want this post to be shorter than I am. And I’m pretty short okay, so that could be a problem. But they’re grouped in 5s so this is still acceptable.
Also apparently these are things you do like at end-of-highschool-year superlatives in America. But I’m not American AND I’m easily amused. So I’m going to have at it anyway.
No really, I am very easily amused. I find throwing my dog’s ball backwards and watching him looking for it is very amusing. Also cracking eggs on my sister’s head is super funny too.
…for the boys…
BE OVERPROTECTIVE: I nominate Kell from A Darker Shade of Magic, because if you see him in book 2 literally trying to do anything to save Rhy, protect Lila, save the world etc. etc…you will agree with me. He is also the boy most likely to be stabbed by his OTP because Lila is 0% here for being protected.
GOOD WITH KIDS: The BEST EVER for this goes to Julian Blackthorn, from Lady Midnight, father of four small children when he was only 12 because his parents died and he had to raise his siblings. Super good with children. Super Slytherin. Will probably destroy the world in order to keep his babies safe.
PICKS FLOWERS FOR YOU: I nominate Kaz Brekker! Even though he didn’t pick any flowers for Inej, she specifically mentioned that her father said “get you a boy who picks your favourite flowers”. So I 100% think Inej will teach and coach Kaz how to pick flowers and present them nicely without starting the conversation with “hey wanna go steal something and stab someone and hey here are flowers I love you”. Inej will raise him well.
LENDS YOU THEIR CLOTHES: I definitely nominate Lazlo Strange from Strange the Dreamer! He’d probably give you anything he owned if you said “hey I’m a mythical monster” because he’s in love with those.
TALKS WITH YOU FOR HOURS: Definitely nominating AIDAN from Illuminae. He does so love to have discussions with people, even if it’s mostly him insulting humanity but loving them anyway because no one appreciates him like they should.
TAKES TIME LOOKING AT YOUR EYES: I think Gansey would. Mostly because he can’t actually kiss Blue because of the whole “if she kisses her true love he dies” thing which is a bit of a relationship hurdle but nothing the ghost-life couldn’t fix.
SAYS YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL: This would be Jace Herondale from The Mortal Instruments right after he finished saying he was the most beautiful. You could be the second though.
TAKE OVER THE WORLD: Oh this would be Locke Lamora for sure! Especially on accident. He’d be most likely to run a scheme to get the crown off a king and end up wearing it and being very unsure what to do with himself so just snacking and wearing nice clothes while the world burns down amusingly.
SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: Yes to Sean Kendrick from The Scorpio Races. Mostly because he’d just calm the zombies down and everyone would be too chill to actually do any evil.
BREAK A WORLD RECORD: This will be Alucard, world record for most times stabbed at dinner by his brother-in-law, the dearest Kell.
STAY WITH OTP AFTER BOOK IS OVER: I’m going to say the dearest #PYNCH from The Raven Cycle because I think once you commit to Ronan you realise you’ll spend 87% of the time annoyed and you just prepare for it.
LEAVE OTP AFTER BOOK IS OVER: I can’t ever imagine Jack and Libby from Holding Up the Universe actually staying together…they seemed to have literally nothing in common except for bad decision making.
BE A DRAMA QUEEN: I’m just going to say Henry “Monty” Montague from The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue and if you haven’t read it yet wHAT ARE YOU DOING. It’s one of my all-time-ever favourites!! And no one is quite as dramatic as our dear Monty.
ALWAYS HAPPY: Okay do you know how hARD this is to fill?!?? Everyone is angry and angsty and sad in YA, I tell you. But there is always Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles! Dashing and happy…so unusual omg I love him.
GET INTO A FIGHT: Hehhhhehehe…ohhh so so many. Nathan from Half Bad particularly. I think if you breathe in his direction he’ll fight. Jesper from Six of Crows but him for the LOLZ. And also Sevro from Red Rising who will burn down your planet for a chocolate bare. Relatable.
…for the girls…
BE OVERPROTECTIVE: Definitely Lada from And I Darken. If chill exists, she doesn’t have any. And she will stab you in the face if you get near her precious boys.
GOOD WITH KIDS: I totally think Nina from Six of Crows!! She would feed them waffles and tell them funny stories and also train them to be badass warriors. Pls, Nina, adopt me.
GO TO WAR TO SAVE YOU: Absolutely Emma from Lady Midnight. Although she’s probably going to war for HER because she really likes fighting. Swords! Blades! Blood! Fish and chips afterwards! Emma is so much fun.
LAUGH AT A BAD TIME: I’m going to say Valkyrie Caine from Skulduggery Pleasant who is SUPER EPIC AND BADASS and has the absolute most dry sense of humour at them all. I’m pretty sure the world would end and she’d laugh and make a small dry joke.
TALKS WITH YOU FOR HOURS: I so think Lara Jean from To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before would talk with you for as long as you needed it, and probably bring cake. Which is why she’s my best fictional friend, thanks very much.
TO TRAVEL THE WORLD: Absolutely Lila Bard from A Darker Shade of Magic! She’ll probably stab everyone on the way, but ultimately have a good time.
DRESS TO KILL: Going to go with Isabelle Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments. I mean. She can fight demons and wear heels and has really great hair. She’s too perfect, too fabulous, for mere humanity.
BECOME SUPER RICH: I’d say Kestrel from The Winner’s Curse because WOAH was there ever such a Slytherin in a pretty dress with a sweet face. She’ll probably gamble you out of your money and you won’t even notice.
SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: I feel bad for throwing Katniss from The Hunger Games in, but dude. She would. She’d just slay all the zombies while everyone else hide and then at the end wouldn’t even let you say thank you. She’d just run off, live in the woods, definitely make it 5 miles.
BREAK A WORLD RECORD: Well let’s say Cath from Fangirl…for avoiding you. She’s the kind of person I aspire to, to be honest.
STAY WITH OTP AFTER BOOK IS OVER: Can we say Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson?!?? Because I don’t think ever was an OTP so solid and pure and perfect and likely for Percy to end up smacked into the ocean if he commenced annoying shenanigans.
LEAVE OTP AFTER BOOK IS OVER: I’ll just get out my bag of salt and vinegar chips and proceed to live in it while I nominate Celaena Sardothien from Throne of Glass because obviously changing dudes per book is fine with her. #OHITBURNS
BE A DRAMA QUEEN: Let’s say Hanna from Gemina who was completely badass but also very prone to a dramatic love life and wearing excellent clothes even when nearly dying. I do like her style.
GET ARRESTED: Definitely Kate Harker from This Savage Song. Also most likely to become rapidly un-arrested due to contacts, cunning, and scary eyes.
SHARE THEIR FOOD WITH YOU: Even though I’m not the biggest fan of Heartless, I do think Cath would happily share her baking with you. And this is excellent because I would love some lemon pie.
what did you think of my nominations?!? who would you nominate for couples likely to stay together/break up once a book is finished?? and which character would share food with you???
I actually love when you get to see couples in companion novels and see that they are still together. Like Malec, oh gosh, SO DARN CUTe. I like your nominations. Hanna and Isabelle with awesomme style and awesome badassery are total goals. And Sean is so very very calming, I love it. I feel like Thorne and Cress might break up, asad as that is, and Aurora and Finnegan. Lara Jean would be the best to share food with, I reckon. Lirael could also break an avoiding people record. And Sparrow form STrange the Dreamer would share her food.
Post ideas: maybe outline your social media strategy?
how to make friends online
humorous post about hwow your dog feels about your books?
Omggg seeing Malec in the background of all the Shadowhunter books GIVES ME LIFE. With their smol precious sons. 😍😍 It’s so refreshing and like actually nice to see couples work out in books that’s for sure! HANNA AND ISABELLE JUST SLAY.
Honestly omg I’m so glad you said that about Thorne/Cress. I agree. 😂 I see so many people flail about their ship but I still don’t really ship them.😂😂
(Also thank you soooo much for the post ideas! I did the making friends online one, but like years ago? And funny story: I was whining to Mime about what to post about and said “Do I just do a post on how stupid my dog is?” 😂😂 So maybe I should.)
Yes, Malec!! I absolutely love them & their fam.
Yeah I don’t think i could see Jack and Libby staying together either. or Chris and Starr from THUG.
Kell is so overprotective omg.
Nina would SO BE A GOOD PERSON WITH KIDS. Like gimme the waffles Nina. Though she’ll have to learn how to share XD
Kaz brekker picking flowers? AHAHA good choice?
Alucard would OBVIOUSLY BREAK A WORLD RECORD
I actually wanted to say Starr and Chris too but I got told off on GR for saying that so I decided to be safe.😂 But they seemed to like fight more than they actually got on? And I know books do that to show chemistry or whatever, but like…if you’ve got nothing in common when you START going out, how are you going to keep together in the future? #JadedBookworm 😭😭
NINA IS SO PRECIOUS THOUGH. SHE WOULD PROTECT EVERYONE.
I don’t understand why you would get ‘told off’ for saying that? Just because it’s an amazing #BlackLivesmatter book which is just so fantastic and important (and okay not ‘just’) doesn’t mean that everything is PERFECT. i thought it was a bit too long and Starr and Chris’ relationship was not very…SHIPPABE? I know. Like I understand that Starr was torn between Chris being white but like…. HOW? ARE? YOU? together! I HOPE they stay together but I can’t really see it.
SHE WOULD <3
(p.s did NOT get the email notification for this??)
I have no idea why I get told off for the things I do, Ilsa.😂 GOODREADS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. And I don’t think Starr/Chris were WRITTEN to be like the ultimate super couple either! Like Chris was learning, but I think he had too much to learn, nearly? To suit where Starr was in her life.
(Agh I hate my email notification widget! I swear it only works half the time.😭😭)
Pynch!! I totally agree about Libby and Jack though, partly because I don’t believe in teenage romances and that they will actually work out. I’ve been told I’m too cynical but woops… too late. Also Celaena… yup that sounds right. I just want her to stop changing her mind, It’s so annoying.
Bahaha, it’s okay, I kind of hear you with a LOT of YA romances.😂 I’m like “well this is cute but will it LAST??” and then sit there like a jaded adult. *sighs* However I think some are more solid than others! Jack and Libby just never really meshed IMO.😂
Yes, Jace would obviously call himself beautiful first. Typical Jace. And isn’t everybody’s friend Lara Jean? I mean you have to at least like one baked thing?! Cait, you’re too funny!!
EXACTLY RIGHT?!? Jace has his…priorities. 😂 I’m like 99% sure there’s a line where he says he’s going to date himself. I love Jace.😂
I love Jace too! I think he compliments himself too much for his own good. Plus he’s kind of an idiot (in the best way possible I might add) aahhh he’s great!
omg Kaz and Inej picking flowers *dies*
These are all so accurate!
WOULDN’T IT BE SO CUTE. 😍😍😍 I AM HERE FOR IT.
I like your nominations. We actually had to do these IRL when I was in high school, but with classmates instead of fictional people. I like the fictional people better. A couple who I think would stay together is Cath and Levi from Fangirl. A couple who I think would break up is Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter. I know that’s an unpopular opinion, but they argue all the time.
I think fictional people are better because they can’t get offended and come eat you afterwards.😂 Cath and Levi are SO CUTE!! I do also 1000% agree about Hermione and Ron. I can’t ship them. Ron was so rude to her and where do they even relate?!??? Like she’s so smart and he’s only ever held her back. *SIGH*
This post is amazing and now I want to do something like this. Okay, but your picks are phenomenal and made me laugh so much. Aidan is 1000% the prefect choice for most likely to talk with you for hours, he may make it to most likely to casually kill people, as well, BUT HE MEANS WELL. Tbh, all your nominations are on point – at least, the ones I know, but I’d wager the rest are too – but I especially love Monty as the drama queen, because he usually doesn’t know how to keep cool. And the ships you mentioned MUST BE PROTECTED, and if anyone says either Pynch or Percy/Annabeth will break up one day I’m 1000% prepared to fight them.
A couple I definitely think would stay together is Percy and Monty, because there’s no reason Monty could want to leave Percy THE most precious character ever, whilst Percy already knows all of Monty’s faults, and he seems to be okay with them. As for a couple I think will break up, I can’t say any! I hate breaking up people in my head – can’t do it haha.
Wonderful post!
Veronika @ The Regal Critiques
AIDAN MEANS WELL. He just wants to help and protect people and also has a severe complex that he knows more than you. (Which is, like, true, but chill out AIDAN you’re not good at making friends.😂)I also think Monty/Percy would actually sTAY together after the story was over. Because Percy has already had a lifetime of putting up with Monty’s shenanigans and nonsense so he’ll be like all keyed up for it.😂
PERCABETH ARE PERFECT.
Okay,
I’m going to mention a rather controversial otp here that I 100% ship.
Haymitch x Effie = Hayffie
okay? I’m not normal but still.
I 100% ship them too lol, surely that was in their future?! They flirted so much.
I did not mean to post that link sorry 🙄 dumb phone.
@Daisy: That’s not controversial to me! I SHIP IT.😂 More in the movies than in the books, but it totally could work.😂
I didn’t know all of these characters, but the ones that I did- YESSSSS. YES. YES.😂
My strongest agreement is Percabeth, because I so believe that Percy and Annabeth will never break up. Then Lara Jean talking and giving you baked goods…I can definitely see that!😉
Great post, Cait!
YES PERCY AND ANNABETH WILL LAST THE DECADES FOREVER. So long as Percy doesn’t get himself killed doing something stupid.😂😂
THIS IS SUCH A FUN TAG! I may just steal it if I run out of post ideas; I don’t do tags that often and I should work on that. #oopsies
I don’t think Lara Jean and Peter are going to stay together. I’m sorry… I just don’t. I feel like she’s a bit too idealistic about them and needs to learn a few more life lessons before she finds someone to commit to long-term. However, she would be great if you wanted someone to give you food. I need more people who stress bake in my life honestly. I think Levi and Cath will totally stay together because I SHIP THEM SO HARD I CAN’T. Also, I never really shipped Kady and Ezra. I feel like they’re a little busy saving the world to focus on their relationship, haha.
Tags can be incredibly fun when one is brain dead of ideas.😂 I keep plagiarising my own blog at this point, IT’S BEING A PROBLEM. haha.
I haven’t finished the Lara Jean books SHHHHHH. *cries because ships Lara Jean and Peter so bad*😭😭 I know like in YA it’s popular to put together the people who work REALLY hard to make their relationship work, but like people drift as they grow older anyway. So these couples that don’t seem to get along very well to start with!?? I always have questions.
Your post made me realize how many books I haven’t read 😅
Especially the stabby stabby ones.
But, the ones I recognize I like your picks for 😁
Aww thanks, Katie! I tried to pick mostly books I felt people would know haha.😂
Omg now I’m imagining Kaz frolicking through flowers and picking some to give to Inej!
OH AND JULIAN WOULD BE THE BEST WITH KIDS! I MEAN HE’S ALREADY BASICALLY A DAD!
Lol I’m surprised Kell didn’t stab Alucard in ACOL! Anytime he mentioned being with Rhy, Kell was ready to fight XD
Lila would 100% travel the world (stabbing everyone one). Ya know her and Inej would be BFFs! They would travel the world and kick butt while Kell and Kaz didn’t know what to do with them
JULIAN FOR DAD OF THE YEAR. He’s like a 17yo dad of many and adopts basically everyone and it’s the sweetest.
I was WAITING for Kell to stab Alucard honestly. Disappointed that didn’t happen.😂 Kell was so highly strung the whole series, I LOVE HIM.😂
I love all your answers. But I think Howl trumps Monty in dramaqueen action.
Omg why haven’t I read Howl’s Moving Castle yet though?!? I NEED TO.😂
Hey! I wear Crocs. Right now I’m wearing a pair that are so worn out that each shoe has a giant split up the front because the plastic decided that integrity isn’t in style anymore. (I don’t actually wear them out of the house, though; I wear them as slippers/house shoes, and I’ve probably had this pair of over a decade!) Feel free to judge. 🙂
Now I’m wondering which character would be most likely to wear Crocs. Celaena, maybe. If she was smart. She could sneak up on people in silence and assassinate them with static electricity (be prepared for a shock if you wear Crocs in dry weather).
Celaena could go on a list of “most likely to stay together” and “most likely to break up”. Isn’t she “mated” to one guy now? But she was pretty fickle in the beginning; if she’d ended up with Dorian or Chaol, I doubt it would’ve lasted.
WHOOOPS TO THE CROC INSULT THERE.😂 Well, I mean, I’m not judging…so long as you’re a wizard as well, you know, balance these things out.😂😂 (Okay this is coming from me who’s has a jumper I’ve owned for 9 years so yeah. THERE’S THAT.)
Dude, I don’t even know what the heck is going on with Celanea. I am out of that series SO FAST.😂 She treats people like utter crap and I can’t stand it.😂
We can steal this? Yay! Thanks Cait! This is going to be so much fun! (Also, I’ve been blogging for less than two years and I am slumping. I am slumping so badly. How have you managed six?!?)
Totally agree with Percy and Annabeth. As for breaking up… Lennie and Joe from The Sky is Everywhere. I just can’t see them lasting.
I can’t waaaait to read your version!! And omg I don’t even know. Like I keep writing posts and then researching my own archives and going “um, okay so I already wrote this.” CRYING.
Blogging ideas for Cait:
What books would turn into great stage adaptations? (play, musical, etc.)
Theme songs for your favorite characters.
Hunger Games-style showdown: Who would win? (Example: Sherlock Holmes versus Cinder. Gansey versus Magnus Bane. Mix it up.)
Name a book for every letter of the alphabet (no repeats).
(Damn, does this mean I now can’t use any of these myself?…)
Aww thank you, Daley! This is really nice and helpful.😂 I do struggle with putting books + music together though, I admit, because I listen to music but I NEVER understand the lyrics so like I haven’t a clue what’s going on.😂 I want to do the alphabet one! I think I did that on insta?!? But I should do it here too. (You can totally steal back your ideas too.😂)
There’s a fantastic website called A to Z lyrics — I use it all the time for looking up song lyrics.
I sooooo wish I knew more characters of these so I could relate! Damn those different reading tastes xD but but! For the two I did know it totally works xD (don’t laugh at me when I say they both were from the same series. I’m laughing myself. Yes! AIDAN and Hana xD)
That said, I’m not sure I ever answered your message (I’m so badass I can afford to not answer Paper Fury’s messages!!! XD XD), I did mean to say that it’s a huge shame that you never blogged about Gemina. Even though I totally agree, I blog pretty much about ARCs only myself xD but I suppose there is a Goodreads review? Cause I’m curious. I guess I’ll see that when I post my own review (#eversolate)
Also, that chocolate strawberry cake. Pure jealousy! (Me and boyfriend didn’t buy snacks this week. I don’t know what was wrong with us when we were in the shop!)
Also, post ideas… I did tag you in that big books one, but I guess you might have done something similar in the past or maybe it’s not very relevant. Don’t complain though, we do try! XD I’ll be doing a new meme (monthly meme maybe? Still not quite sure) at the end of this month, where people can link up. It’s sort of like to sum up your current situation regarding your ARCs and to inspire you do read from that damn pile, lol (I actually wrote the post tonight, you’re the first one I’m telling, incidentally xD) so that’s another post idea. We all love stats (okay. I love stats :D) Got no other ideas for now xD
Aww, sorry, Evelina!😂 I tried to pick like mostly famous books haha, but we do read very very differently, don’t we? 😉 YAY FOR MUTUAL ADORATION OF THE ILLUMINAE SERIES THOUGH.
Oh yes there’s a goodreads review of Gemina! I linked to it I think in this post? I mention it a lot in my TTT posts so that makes up for it haha. Can you believe I’ve never done an official Raven Cycle review here either?! MY LIFE IS WEIRD.
Oh I am still getting to tags! I will get to it! And your meme sounds super interesting, I can’t wait to read it when it goes up! (STATS ARE LIFE.)
Nooooo way, never done a Raven Cycle review here? 😱 well, I do know what you mean! Reviews are less popular than discussions and just plain ravings, and I really do like your ravings, I wouldn’t change a thing 🙂 oh, good point! You must have linked the review, but I probably absent-mindedly scrolled through it 😃 but I have a (good?) habit of checking out friend’s reviews when I post a review for a book myself, so that will definitely not escape my attention 🙂
Oh, I’m glad you’ll get to the tag then. I just REALLY selfishly want to see it xD and stats, books and stationery are life! We might read different stuff but at heart we are the same 😂😂😂
oh my gooooood this is the cutest funnest tag i’ve ever seen in my life. can you please stop producing such amazing content all the time??? on twitter and here and your instagram which i follow avidly??? plus reading more than anyone??? pLUS WRITING ENTIRE BOOKS???
it’s making the rest of us look bad.
<3 <3 <3
Eeeep, I’m so glad you liked it!!😂 And omg you’re about to get your wish about me stopping producing content bahahh MY BRAIN IS SO DEAD ATM. IT’S HILARIOUS. *walks into a brick wall*
I love your headcanon for Inej teaching Kaz how to pick flowers. All I want now is a fan-fiction of them doing that exact scenario.
Totally spit tea all over my computer screen reading “This would be Jace Herondale from The Mortal Instruments right after he finished saying he was the most beautiful. You could be the second though.” xD
THORNE IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME AND I WILL PROTECT HIM UNTIL MY DYING BREATH THAT PERFECT MAN.
I stand by the fact that anyone who can go into battle in heels without falling over is to be feared.
Ooh, I definitely think Molly from The Upside of Unrequited would share food with me. We’d probably bake something yummy she found on Pinterest.
Wouldn’t it be good though, right?!? PRECIOUS. 😍 I basically just want a book of domestic scenes with the Dregs. 😂😂
Thorne is so happy and it’s JUST NOT NORMAL FOR A BOOK CHARACTER. I love him. (Also why can’t we have more happy characters in books?!?😂) And Molly would be PERFECT for sharing food!! And it’d also look pinterest fantastic so that’s like the best.
OH MY GOD PERCY AND ANNABETH YESSSSSS. I mean, I couldn’t see them NOT together as adults, you know? They’re definitely solid and meant to be. 😍 Jesper would always get into fights, I agree. And also perhaps gambles. (Unless he changed after CK! But we’re not certain of that! Which is why we need another book!)
AIDAN would DEFINITELY talk to you for hours, omg! And his voice wouldn’t even get hoarse, wow. Ahahhaa YES Nina would be so good with kids! Especially with all her waffles because what kid wouldn’t want WAFFLES. 😂
PERCABETH ARE JUST TOO PERFECT FOR THIS WORLD. I can also just imagine Percy as a great dad who gets into all this mischief with his kids.😂😂 (Duuude, you MUST read CK!! It calls to you and the Jesper-ness is perfect there.)
AIDAN would just never shut up and probably repeat 398 times about how he’s smarter than you. (Can I still ship him and Kady?😂)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING PERCABETH IN HERE. They are so perfect for each other!
THEY ARE PERFECT AND STRONG AND SO AMAZING. I LOVE THEM.
Oh my goodness, I was laughing SO hard at the one about Jace! It’s so true.
JACE IS DEFINITELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.😂
All the Lady Midnight, ADSOM, and TRC. IM SO HERE FOR THIS. I have to say that Julian’s situation breaks my heart though. And I live for the fact that he’s a sort of antihero. ALSO ALSO I BOUGHT SIX OF CROWS FINALLY YESTERDAY SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. Should I brace myself for tears?? Also I love whatever you post, because you make everything funny and interesting no matter what it is, Cait.
JULIAN IS MY FAVOURITE. HE’S SO COMPLEX THO. Like he’s the sweetest little cupcake but he’ll also totally murder the world to save his family?!? Bless him. I love him. And Six of Crows is LIFE so I really really hope you love it!! (Not so much tears but vague howling will come.😂)
Aww, thanks Erin! That honestly makes my day!
YESSSS, Percabeth for the win! They are probably THE strongest ship I have ever seen in a fandom. I’ll definetely be posting my version of this on my blog. 😉
Thank you so much for it! (*evil cackles in the corner*)
Excellent! I can’t wait to read it!! And Percabeth just RULES. I’m like 99% sure they’ll grow old together (if Percy doesn’t get himself stupidly killed first) and have a small army of kids.
Gandalf, yes! I’d love to see their kids. ^^
This post! SO GOOD. I love that you fleshed out the tag and made it into this big fancy list that made me smile from start to finish. Also, seriously, can we stop for a moment and talk about how freaking bizarre and PRECIOUS it is that Thorne is so happy?! Like… HOW, THORNE, HOW?
Eeeep, thank you, Destiny! THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. And omg can we please have Thorne always happy and dorky because he’s such a breath of fresh air. 😍😍
damn now I feel quite bad for myself, coz I just have read 3 of these books you mentioned above and this is just horrible – crying a bit now 🙂
and Im always impressed how you can sort all these fictional people into tags, I need a new brain or something like that, I just can’t remember most of the stuff I read a few weeks ago 🙂
Greetings Cornelia
Nooooo don’t cry! *sends you a cupcake* And honestly I barely remember my own name, so you’re not alone.😂 I mostly picked books I’m super obsessed with and OH GOODREADS! Goodreads helps remember things for me.
okay not crying over here, just ordering more of your books – quite a few are already on my tbr and this is just coz of you 🙂 ^^
I’ve seen you around on goodreads and I finally checked out your blog and NEW FAVOURITE RIGHT HERE. Also, loved how many adsom characters were in these selections and 100% agree with you on their selections.
To the percabath selection, OMG YES. Also, I love how someone finally remembered AIDAN. And I would totally chat with him for hours too.
Love how many adsom characters were in the selections here. Also 500% agree with your selections for these characters. I would totally talk to AIDAN for hours if I could.
To the percabeth selection, YASSSS.
Just realised that it shows I posted twice. You can ignore this one lol. I thought that my first reply didn’t work so I decided to re-write it but shorter because I couldn’t remember what I wrote >_<
It’s like I have a slightly OBVIOUS ADSOM OBSESSION I KNOW.😂😂😂😂
all characters would share food with me who am I kidding? it’s like my magical superpower because this stomach isn’t going to feed itself. though it might be hard to pry the strawberry flaxseed bars out of cath’s hands and secret stash….
omg lol celeana I stopped reading the series at queen of shadows because I physically could not take the love [insert geometric shape of choice] decagon
We need to be fed, obviously, and characters are going to be nice AND SHARE.
I’m so laughing at your “insert geometric shape of choice” here description. BECAUSE YES??? Like let’s just wait for a slightly hotter male fey to walk in the room and then suddenly he’s her “life mate” whom she will “always love” and “he is worthy of her”.
*eye rolls so hard they fall out of my head*
I 100% agree with your nominations! I would love to do this tag but would probably just give all the nominations to everyone from the Darker Shade of Magic series because they are my absolute faves!! I mean who doesn’t love V and her multitude of misfit characters?
Omg I knooooow. I mean, I think I nominated Schwab characters at least 4 times in this post?! Not even sorry.😂
I FORGOT ABOUT SEVRO. I know, you may burn me at the stake now, BUTOMGWHATISWRONGWITHME. I was staring at my screen for a moment, trying to remember who this Sevro was, and then I remembered and wanted to throw myself off a cliff for having the memory of a goldfish.
IT’S OK YOU’RE FORGIVEN. THERE ARE A LOT OF CHARACTERS OUT THERE TO REMEMBER THE NAMES OF.😂
I laughed wayyy harder than I should have at the Caelena one because come ON, of course she’ll change her mind 3872 times after the series ends (IF the series ends?) Poor Katniss, having to go into the zombie apocalypse after TWO Hunger Games. Rude, Cait. Lara Jean would totally pat your head and console you about anything. I need one of her in my life, tbh. And don’t get me started on Nathan from Half Bad, I am still salty over that series. This is such a fun tag, Cait!! 😀
SHE CHANGES HER MIND EVERY TIME A SLIGHTLY HOTTER MALE FEY WALKS IN THE ROOM. *eats a brick wall* 🙄😂😂 I’m really mean to Katniss though, I agree. The girl deserves a really long holiday.
OMG Cait stahp I’m dying hahaha. I laughed so hard at your Celaena burn. I love it. I’m not even mad because it was so clever and also very true.
Kate would 100% get arrested. I mean, opening the book with a burning church???
We could all learn a thing or two from Cath about sharing food.
Except for me. Touch my food and you’ll find yourself without a hand. I mean, that IS the proper punishment for thieves, RIGHT??!
AHHH Yes Thorne is such perfection from TLC. I just love him so much. We need more guys like him in literature, and not just dark brooding moody dudes. ARETHEYALLONTHEIRPERIODORSOMETHING?
I’M SORRY. I’M SO SALTY TO THRONE OF GLASS PLS EXCUSE ME BEING A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS.😂 Ahem. And I know right?! Kate even plans to get arrested. Bless her.
(I also agree that sharing food is reallly not fun…like yes please share YOUR food with me, but it doesn’t work vice versa. *hoards food like Smaug and his gold*)
Hahahaha!! I laughed out loud at so many of these. Thanks for reminding me of all the people/reasons I love books reading. <3
AWWw, thanks for laughing! THAT MAKES MY DAY.😂
Oooooooh, couples! I’m torn on that one. I think there are lots of couples I’ve seen in books (or TV, or movies) that I technically loved but I don’t see them EVER working IRL. For example, I really loved Katniss and I thought Peeta was a sweetheart, but I don’t really see her settling down and staying with him…or anyone, for that matter! I don’t know, maybe it could happen.
I totally do get that.😂 I think maybe Katniss/Peeta could work? But like…it’d be unhealthy because Peeta is too much of a people-pleaser and I don’t think Katniss would support HIM like he’d need it. 😭But I still put them together 50000 x more than Gale and Katniss.😝
The “Always Happy” one really made me laugh!! That’s so true, what’s with YA characters never wanting to be happy? Hahaha 😛
Great tag, it was very fun to read! 😀
WE NEED MORE HAPPY PEOPLE!! Authors just want to see us all cry.😂
Love this tag! I think you made very good choices.
Awww, thank you, Skye!
This post was highly amusing. 🙂 But the only thing I can think to say is that I am SO HUNGRY NOW! Like, I don’t know if I want cake, waffles, or salt and vinegar chips? This is the worst conundrum ever. How can you do this to me?!
Basically my blog is DOOMED to make people hungry when they visit. I am super cruel.😂
Jace and Julian and Thorne and Isabelle and Katniss Emma and Percabeth and Cath YAAAAAS
I’ll see about the rest after I get all my holds at the library.
SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEM. (Also I hope your holds come in super fast.😂)
Sadly I can only agree with the Percy&Annabeth, Katniss, valkyrie and Celeana ones because I have not read any of the other books. Tho I do plan to get my hands on some of them.
OMG who does Celeana think she is, changing boys every book!!!!!???? Great post as always!!!
I tried to pick like more well known books haha, but like I READ A LOT.😂 Percabeth is just so perfect though.
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Love this!!! Hilarious and awesome! I was stuck in a crazy long grocery line and I started reading this on my phone and you made my day, girl!! I haven’t read most of these books but I loved seeing all your choices! I can totally back up Thorne from The Lunar Chronicles though!!!!
I actually decided to steal the tag (with credits of course, hehe) and take some liberties with a Korean Drama version. Thanks for giving me something to blog about (because I’ve been getting behind haha)!
Ahhh, thank you, Faith! I’m really pleased you enjoyed it.😂 It was so fun to write haha. And Thorne, though. THORNE. What a happy sweet little unicorn.
This delighted me a great deal. I have been mostly awake for 24 hours, so I need delight AND YOU DELIVERED! WEEEE!
(you also made me compulsively check for the 100th time on the status of my request for Shades of Magic #2… STILL 1 OF 1 IN QUEUE. ^^#&WHKJGFERSHGJYLKU#RILUYFES<GJ KEYBOARD SMASH.)
Listen. Clary and Jace get my vote for stay together when the book is over because FFS JUST STAY TOGETHER. STOP BEING DIFFICULT.
You are much better at these things than I, I can't think of characters outside of the books I am currently reading or only just read. And none of my recent reads have good food sharing characters 🙁 Though I think it would be nice to share a meal with Dumbledore just because he is an interesting sort.

I have to look at Goodreads and my bookshelves to remember which characters to talk about, don’t worry.😂 My memory is the size of a VERY SMALL PEA. But yes to Clary and Jace!! And I do love how they reappear in the spin-off series as a couple still. :’) Going stronggggg. *CHEERS*
