unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

i love characters with prominent noses. the only reason i’ve ever given a character a small nose is to fulfill a diversity quota

The worst thing is that there is so much potential for exploring the horror of psych wards from the angle of medical abuse, ableism, forced treatment/drugging, loss of autonomy, power imbalance, demonization, dehumanization, etc, and YET the horror genre keeps defaulting to "insane asylums and psych wards are scary because there are mentally ill people in there"

when a mutual posts a poll you know nothing about, but they say "orangutan johnson my beloved, orangutan johnson sweep!!!!" you vote for orangutan johhnson. it's called loyalty.

Top 5 Coronabeth moments? One of mine is def when she was just swinging that sword around in GtN

5. jeannemary specifically asking for gideon and corona when she finds the cremated remains in the furnace, because they were the two that magnus liked the most……. head in my hands. for all of her faults the crown princess of ida is likable

4. the reunion between her and ianthe in ntn. fuckin insanity. if you haven’t heard moira quirk narrate it in the audiobook i HIGHLY recommend

3. when magnus tells that awful joke at the fifth’s dinner party and she just fucking LOSES IT:

2. the end of as yet unsent, when she offers herself as judith’s cavalier using gideon’s rapier…. Jody, if I offered you that sword, wouldn’t you take it? I know how to use it. I know what it would mean. Lieutenant Dyas is dead. My own necromancer wouldn’t have me. Won’t you let me be your cavalier? Here, now, at the end of the world? Save me, Jody. Bind me to you, or who knows where I will go? What throne will I mount, if you don’t bind me down? (and then judith TURNS HER DOWN…. DYKE DRAMA)

1. when babs died and she is simply inconsolable for the entire scene. but ONLY because she believes that ianthe should have eaten her instead. she’s fucking insane i am OBSESSED WITH HER!!!!!

(ask me my top 5 of anything!)

2024 is a terrible year to be a henchman. The word "minion" is barely usable and you can't even say "goon" anymore.

Scars? Not body horror. Limb differences? Not body horror. Facial differences? Not body horror. Feeding tubes, colostomy bags, etc? Not body horror. Movement disorders? Not body horror. Visibly disabled people just existing is not horror.

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Since the holiday toy drive post is circulating again, I figured this would also be helpful! Food insecurity is such a massive problem in America, in general, and if you have the means to help feed others, I think you should take that opportunity. Here are some other tips:

1. If you’re planning on donating items from your own pantry, please check the expiration dates on the packaging. Think of your donations as gifts to bestow, not castoffs to be rid of. It’s awful to think of people feeling like they got scraps someone else just didn’t want. Everyone deserves dignity with their meals.

2. If you’d rather give money to a food bank, that’s also great since they buy food in bulk and know what items are most wanted/needed!

3. Not everyone has access to appliances like stoves or microwaves or hot plates so if you can donate items that don’t need to be heated up, that would also be greatly appreciated!

I don't care what your perception of the female body has been warped into by the media and advertising prevalent in culture. eat some goddamn carbs

Rereading This Is How You Lose the Time War and i adore it how much of a cringefail loser Red is. She's such a fucking dork with her post scriptums. She's simping for Blue from day one and even since the time before they met. She's as much of a milf enjoyer as one can be as an almost ageless time-travelling immortal being. She is so open and direct i have no idea why she's an undercover agent. She tries to get information out of Blue once (1 time) meanwhile 90% of her early letters are infodumping about the Agency. Did i mention she's also a huge simp?

Dreaming of a special edition of “This is How You Lose the Time War” with sprayed blue and red edges and everything. The wolf chapter made me cry.

Oddly enough (because usually I have such solid vibes in my head when reading) I don’t have concrete faces for Red and Blue because they both are so shifting and fluid and I think drawing them would kind of rob them of that for me? But I want to find ways to draw the letters—Maybe that will be how I focus on environments? We’ll see!
