Throne of Glass blog; aiming for an Erilea world and book aesthetic but sometimes I get distracted and other stuff pops up (sorry) Feeling Anxious? Type in 'ellie' to get calming gifs; #eosspoilers
So I kinda fell off the face of the Earth for like... 3 years. My Bad.
I’m still alive!
I basically swore off Tumblr after like 20 hours (no joke) of scrolling and doing NOTHING with my time so yaknow... Sometimes you have to be an adult and sometimes that’s deleting apps that suck you into a vortex for an undisclosed amount of time that you really didn’t sign up for.
I really like the end of the TOG series, lots “eyes lined with silver” and we’re all in this together and it’s all OKAY GOD DAMNIT which got me going in all of the good ways <3 Also Irene is my favourite, just saying.
I liked the end of the ACOMAF too, although got a bit of seasonal whiplash with the frosty court book being released in May when it was clearly a Christmas bonus... But I now read it at the start of December every year which is nice :)
I probably won’t be back online for a while cos I kinda swerved off social media in general, I only have messenger on my phone, and youtube, because I can’t delete it. But yaknow, I made a few friends online and I still think about you from time to time so I figured you might think of me a little bit so I wanted to let you know I didn’t suddenly die or anything like that. (touch wood)
Life updates; I’m 25 now, I have an office job and I speak spreadsheet, I live with my boyfriend (still; 5 years yay!), I wanted a cat but our flat is too small for one, but I’m working on that... My beloved kitty, Sassy, died this year at the grand old age of 18 which was heart breaking :(
Idk life is okay, I miss everyone this year for obvious reasons. I feel like getting older all you do is miss people you love because you’re all in separate cars on separate roads. You find the beauty in everyday things to keep you going and you learn to be content with life. The main thing I’ve learnt is that it’s really really shit not having any of your mates nearby, so it’s something to think about when you can’t simply fall into friendships as an adult.
I hope you’re all well, I’m rooting for you and I know that you’ve got this <3
there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”
if you think that professor mcgonagall didn’t love james potter then let me just explain to you how wrong you are because among james’ many talents he was really fan-fucking-tastic at two things: quidditch and transfiguration and those just happen to be mcgonagall’s favorite things so guess what he may have been a little shit but he was her little shit and you know she loved every minute of detention she had to chaperone with him
HAPPY 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SPEAK NOW (October 25, 2010).
“So there’s a time for silence, and there’s a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait, I think you should speak now.”
All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost…

Husband was looking for me all round the house so he could show me something he’d made but he couldn’t find me so he just shouted really loudly, “Fantasy and Sci-fi are the same genre!” and the rational part of my brain doing laundry was like “I’m not responding to a meme, wait where am I going—” as I ascended up the basements stairs like the wrath of god, and he just turned like “there you are” and I’m SO MAD THAT IT WORKED
