Nervous and going out on a date with a coworker I've had a crush on for a year. How should I get to know him better?
Thankfully there are several safe and informative questions you can ask on a first date to get to know someone:
How many moose could you take in a fight? What if they were only the front half of each moose?
How many pizzas have you eaten today? Answer to the nearest integer of multiple of φ or I will leave.
How long have you been on tumblr? Why won't you admit you are on tumblr? What if I said I reblogged your selfie of August 17th 2015, 6:35PM eastern time?
You have lovely teeth, where did you find them?
What character's action figure would you put in your brony-jar?
Why are you leaving? Why did you leave your socks? What do you mean those are my socks? Why would MY socks have little pictures of your parents and siblings on them in spiral patterns?
What is your favorite Ayn Rand novel?
Kidding aside, don't ask that last one it's pretty messed up.
#good luck on your actual date and please do not ask any of these#unreality#cw brony jar mention#cw ayn rand mention#actual advice go to a bookstore together and learn about each others favorites

Papercraft Ed! I had the sketch for this one finished a while ago, but for whatever reason didn’t feel quite happy with it. Eventually I tried flipping it to face the opposite way - meaning his automail arm was now facing the viewer and could be shown via rips in his clothes and gloves - and then BAM, I liked how it looked after all! Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make all the difference.
#fullmetal alchemist#edward elric#papercraft#papercutting#paper art#my art#I didn't actually read or watch FMA until 2021 and somehow never had any idea whatsoever what it was actually about#just that it was Good and beloved by many#and like! I was looking forward to it! But buying the whole manga would be pretty expensive#so I kept putting it off#UNTIL!#USED BOOKSTORE TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN!!!#they had the ENTIRE SERIES for a STEAL and I straight-up gasped aloud in the manga aisle#carried everything up to the counter at once like I was weightlifting because WHAT IF I left a volume behind and someone else snagged it#TOO RISKY#and then read the whole series in two days#and. Dear readers you were ALL correct#fma fucking SLAPS

Actually I don’t think you are actually fr an adult author if you can’t write something without a s*x scene in it
#<-trying to avoid our ancient enemy the evil bots#but literally. i will pick a book off the general fiction side and every time completely unnecessarily there will be such a scene where it#has no business being for the story#I’m about ready to fight over this#there’s been exactly one book out of the dozen or so I’ve done from that side that did not have it and it was Patron Saint of Second Chance#by Christine Simon#and I don’t think Road to Roswell my belovedest did either#but listen I think it’s a sign that something in society is fundamentally broken when I can pick too random books#and one is a cozy bookstore romance thing#and one is a weird travel fantasy that has nothing to do with romance#as a plot#and then both of them as soon as the girl comes across a guy and is like he’s likable#the next step is randomly try to sleep with him#evil evil evil evil#let’s not.#stop using sex scenes as shortcut for romance! it doesn’t work! you won’t have any!#this is wisdom and you should listen to it!!#I’m also gonna include the use of f-bombs in this post because if you can’t write a fantastical Victorian travel novel in fairy tale#style language without randomly using f bombs like do you even have a grasp of the language#those don’t belong in this story’s word set use your vocabulary!!#(there are times it makes sense in the story and the language catalog for the story and/or character for both of these but if you can’t do#story without them when they don’t belong that’s lazy I think#I’m throwing down the glove to adult authors I think they should try#this also goes for Jodi Picoult for whom the first thing did fall into the subject material but should not have been like the whole bull an#meat of that story at the expense of the actually interesting material#(couldn’t finish By Any Other Name between that the anachronistic feminism and the massive chip on her shoulder that seemed to be her subje#material

Playing Christmas music just to feel something right now & that “something” is annoyance
#most irritating time of the year to work retail & my bookstore has not played any Christmas music yet this year but were decorating#so it feels like it’s time to make the music switch

“Not for the right person.”
That phrase burns in Bakugo’s brain for days. What the fuck did Kirishima mean by that? That him and myself are in an open relationship…or wiling to be? It’s driving him batshit insane, but he’s too stubborn to press Kirishima for details. So, he stews in his own frustration for the next week or so.
Kirishima and I had talked about trying an open relationship, purely out of curiosity. Not that we were bored with one another, but it’s something we casually stumbled into talking about in the middle of the night while blissed out in each other’s arms. Needless to say, it was shocking that both of us were okay with it — excited, even. Neither of us named anyone, but I don’t think we needed to even say who we thought of.
Cut to a movie night at Bakugo’s place with everyone, we’re all gathered in his nice ass apartment. We’ve been here before, plenty of times, but tonight felt…different. Bakugo hovers around me more than usual, whether it be standing in the kitchen while snacking on some food or grabbing a drink from the fridge. Kirishima doesn’t bat an eye, in fact, he keeps leaving my side anytime Bakugo comes up to us, as if he’s testing his best friend’s control. He watches with a smirk on his face from afar every time, winking in our direction with approval.
“The fuck is he winkin’ at?” Bakugo snarls under his breath near me, crossing his arms over his chest. “He’s done that five times in the last ten goddamn minutes.”
I can’t help but laugh. “He’s being flirty.”
Bakugo’s about to make some snarky comment when the word ‘flirty’ registers. Kirishima was looking at him, not just me.
#☆.kireibaku#heheheh#Kiri and I met back in college but went our separate ways after graduation#until we run into each other at a coffee shop years later#we spend some time at the local bookstore to catch up and it all goes from there#he doesn’t introduce me to the bakusquad until months into our relationship…like six or so#not purposefully but just how our schedules worked out between other things and working#any who#wtf would the ship for Kiri and me be?? Kirei? Eijirei? Reishima?

the unknown perk of marrying someone who works for a book publisher is him having a special website he can use to order books that gives him priority on back ordered books <3

for: open location: leaves in the library
"What can I get you?" Leo looked up from his book when he sensed someone standing at the counter. Usually, when it was quiet he'd notice people come in and take note of where they were sitting immediately, occasionally heading over to take their order. Today, however, he'd been engrossed and hadn't realised straight away. "We've got some amazing cake in today..."
#nyclights.starter#✧ leo ( interactions )#at his tea shop/used bookstore#please assume connections of any sort <3

Absolutely the funniest thing about my current corner of tumblr is that pretty much everyone I've recently followed for Apollo-Appreciating Purposes are either genuinely Hellenist or just rather very into Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series which is wild because I know a net zero about both of those things.
#I've never been interested in Riordan's work and the Percy Jackson books I did read as a young lad didn't change my mind on that topic#Growing up I preferred a very one or the other method for my greek adaptational content#which essentially means either you're a play or an adaptation of a legit story or myth with recogniseable figures and plotpoints#or you're an original story with mythical elements but the myths and the adaptations and interpretations of those myths is secondary#Percy Jackson did both and it was very disorienting for me because the books were well grounded enough that when I came into contact#with some element I didn't recognise or couldn't remember I myself would get confused and go “Is that true? like really?? :0c”#Then I ran a library book club and Percy Jackson books were p much all the kids wanted to read#but they rejected all of my supplementary greek myth exercises and got a lot of stuff mixed around#because percy jackson does a rather good job of making a convincing argument that it knows its stuff and people will quicker cite that#than do readings of the much more difficult older texts and translations of text#It's not Percy Jackson's fault it's just a bad experience that stuck with me and by extension leaked over into Trials of Apollo when that#was released#Trials of Apollo was crazy because I generally make it my business to consume any and all greek myth interpretational media that bothers#to include Apollo (there is a shockingly low amount of things that do that)#however a LOT of novels especially never let Apollo retain the dignity of a god in their portrayals of him#and have him resemble a teenager more than anything even remotely close to an adult#I had just gotten finished reading a novel adaptation of the story of Coronis and Apollo with this same issue#so when I opened the first volume of ToA and saw that Apollo simply genuinely WAS a teenager#Frankly I just closed the book and put it back on the bookstore shelf and very calmly walked away LMFAO#I have nothing to say about Hellenists and neo hellenists y'all seem like wonderful people and I hope#you have a lovely time with your e-offerings and worship#unless you are my single personal friend with Apollo as your patron#then I wish you 1000 woes and 10000 divine brain blasts#toa#pjo#ginger rambles
