Which fictional person ruined your standards forever?
Heather
Rhysand. I’m sorry, but it’s Rhysand. Tall, dark, handsome, kind, selfless, damaged, brooding, sexy, powerful, magical. His wit and charm are unmatched. His devotion to Feyre is insane. There is no earthly human who could hold a candle, in my humble opinion.

Absolutely Mr. Darcy. The yearning, the resting bitch face with a gooey center, and most of all, the fact that Darcy actively listens to Elizabeth and changes for the better so he can be a partner worthy of her love. Swoon!!!
MK
Estevan (from The Bean Trees). Kindness, humility, intelligence, selflessness, hot accent. Devastating combination.
Shayna of Parallel Worlds Bookshop
Arin from the Scorched Earth Duology by Sara Hashem – the man invented yearning, I swear.
Jalitza
Is it bad if I say Percy again? HE CARES ABOUT HIS FRIENDS. WILLING TO GO TO WAR WITH GODS FOR A GIRL. CAN’T READ, BUT MAN KNOWS HOW TO DEFEND HONOR.
Leslie
Without question, Gomez Addams. The way he absolutely adores Morticia is unmatched. He never misses an opportunity to tell her how brilliant and captivating she is, and after all those years together he’s still hopelessly in love with her. He supports her quirky passions and treats her as a complete equal. The playful affection, banter, the random romantic tangos they do… not to mention the DREAM HOUSE they share to raise their kooky family. Such goals.
