Some of my fav quotes so far, or ones I think have a sense of importance to them.
Some tacky/silly, but some I gen like and have written down!!
"Guys like him were everywhere. They were a Brotherhood, where no woman told them what to do. The White House held men like him for the past 5 years, breaking and entering after dark, just like him." (Damn right.)
"He was hot under the collar, with a fire in his loins." (Light of my life, fire of my loins ass sentence)
"Girls didn't like him, though; not a single one, ever. It was as though their defenseless species sensed the threat he posed, the predator in the wild. He despised the objects he desired."
"Billy was misogyny made flesh."
"Making moist memories."
"Billy's hate added weights on his shoulders and in his head. With violence and murder, the weight was momentarily lifted. Normally he has a slouch, but after murder he stood upright, broad shouldered, at his fullest height. Powerful, triumphant." (I really like this one, there's something about it that's like. Just makes so much sense.)
"Eventually, he would let each girl see him. And they would understand what he was, and that their time was up. It was imperative that they feared him first, that was where he got his greatest pleasure. When he felt most powerful. What made him a man."
"But he had to admit, he enjoyed the smell when they wet themselves in fear or death."
"And you are little, aren't you? A little man with a teensie-weensie weenie like a Vienna sausage, all cold and slimy!" - "the only thing fat will be your lips if you ever come around here, creep. Why don't you find a wall sock and stick your tongue in it that'll give you a charge. Then stick your dick in it, it'd probably fit." (the real DIVA 💜)
"Though tipsy, Barb was more self aware than others realized. She knew everyone saw Claire as the virginal innocent, while she was the resident ornery lush. Barb would play the bitch, the role life had cast her in, and she would revel in it. Whatever reputation she had had been shot long ago. Her wide-eyed ingenue doing days were already over, but she could occupy the severe character roles like Betty Davis and get all the best lines."
"Despite the Mrs of her name, there has never been a Mr Mac. She didn't like men much and would certainly never live with one. There were reasons for that. Those reasons she never shared with anyone, and nobody asked. The Pi Kappa Sigma house was her all female Kingdom and she was the queen. Their domain was unspoiled. What more could she ask for?" (I'm kind of wondering if this is implicative? Perhaps not, but seems a bit. Also may just be a reason for Billy to hate her more.)
"As her vision went dark, she hooked onto competing sounds. There was the meowing of Claude, who have been trying to warn her. He'd even drawn blood. If only she'd gone out to bandage the wound in the bathroom. She hoped Claude would survive because she would not."
"This was The Moaner aspiring to be The Murderer"
youtube
"Billy wanted to be her first, her one and only. It was important that he ruin her before any other man could. Nobody could ruin a girl like him."
"He softly sang her a lullaby, one with special meaning. Hopefully she was paying attention, because there would be a quiz later."
"He understood Dracula's allure, how women beared their necks so he could suck out their lifeblood. What he did wasn't much different
"A light snow began to fall outside, but Claire's bulging eyes could not see it. She was Billy's plaything now, his toy, at least until he got tired of her. Billy like to break his toys, smashing them to pieces in a tantrum."
#If you are wondering why MOST of this is Billy is because a lot of what's happened so far with the girls is mostly just movie accurate-#dialogue or info on their parents#Theres this added on char named Mugsey and I think her and Barb are in love /j#so far I have mixed feelings on this but that might change#im only 5 chapters in#I have a lot I like about it and some I really don't but we'll see!!#billy lenz#BC BOOK LIVEBLOG#Youtube

wonder woman (1987) #161
this is so beautiful to me. the plot is "clayface discovers wonder woman is made of magical clay and Wants That Special Clay so he steals part of her body and now they have to figure out how to separate clayface clay from wonder woman clay" and the solution is a giant mystical centrifuge in the sky because the clays have two different densities. i love you absolutely batshit bonkers comic book plots i love you so much im healing im rejuvenated
#rimi's comic book liveblogging#wonder woman (1987) issue 160-161 has truly saved me after all the bullshit eric luke put me through from 139-159#(with the exception of 153-155 bc he didnt write those. thank god.)#but THIS. now THIS is beautiful. ive looked at this for five hours now#diana

Percy doesn't pick Luke to join him on the quest because he knows that he'll be betrayed by a friend. Percy knows that he can't bear to be betrayed by Luke, so he makes sure that Luke doesn't go with him on the quest, and instead picks Annabeth because he can't imagine becoming friends with Annabeth!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

currently on ep 2 of the My Lady Jane show and how is EVERYTHINGGGG a glow down. they took every dramatic or funny scene in the book and made it into a regularly paced infodump or horny bait. why are Ethianism no longer protestant and instead just a regular oppressed fantasy animal race. where is my quid pro quo scene of Jane and Edward discussing why G would be a bad husband. where is G getting insanely drunk at the wedding and immediately after transforming, getting stuck in the bedroom for the entire day, while Jane still tries to talk to him regardless. why is Pet the only naked one. they made me look at G's bare ass
#also i don't think g is named g at all he has yet to correct a single person#idk i liked how no one calls him g bc it's stupid so it's nice when he gains friends so they call him that#so far not a single plot point is the same as in the book... the pacing is soooo off... y is this happening#i do have to say that edward and g's actors have their moments of being charming. i like some of jane's expressions too. but that's all the#praise i can give and it's more the actors' interpretation than the script (bc the script SUCKS)#tlj liveblog

i was looking through the actual book of the world of ice and fire, just to see the art, and I forgot that on the first page, where it says “to his esteemed and gracious lord, tommen the first of his name” blah blah to celebrate his reign, but you can see that maester yandel initially wrote it for robert, then he got murdered, so yandel blotted out his name and put joffrey, then HE got murdered, so yandel blotted out his name too and put tommen. this poor man, can u imagine him being like “maybe i’m young enough to write another great history tome, let’s see if i can convince tommen to fund another vanity project” and then within like 6 months, tommen dies, myrcella is crowned, myrcella dies, the targaryens come BACK, aegon vi is crowned, dany lands and announces her crown, the north decides to shake things up and starts chucking crowns at every stark they see, and yandel is desperately blotting out yet another name on the damn title page
#imagine he wrote this where it’s very obviously pro robert bc it was for robert and then aegon & dany turn up and are like#‘interesting what does this book say about my family’ lmao#rani liveblogs asoiaf#i really liked the art of rhaenyra about to get eaten with aegon in the background#i liked the one of meria too

im ripping through the Obelisk Gate pretty fast, I think it is definitely suffering a bit from classic "middle book slog" but it's still like, really INTRESTING -- it's just slow. deep breaths and such. I mean there is about to be a lot of action (possibly) due to the counquering army and all that but I do think that this slowness compounds with my general frustration w characters who do not tell you things you want to know, or who dont care to ask about things you want to know -- I am still enjoying it and this is still part of the book's charm, honestly, but it is a bit more annoying in book 2 vs book 1 because of the overall stillness.
A lot of things are being set up that i am not sure what to think of yet -- (big spoiler warning)
Hoa gives me a lot of pauses, I LIKE him but I don't trust him and he knows so much he isn't saying. Alabaster died without ever really giving me (the reader) all the info I want from him, which is frustrating.
More signifigantly, I did not expect Schaffa and Nassun to be... whatever they are now, and I'm not sure what to think. I mean the fucking Lolita of it all....... so while the idea of Schaffa Humbert Warrant getting anything resembling a redemption arc feels very in line with the book (no one gets what they deserve, people do terrible things, and then what happens in the long-after?) it doesn't FEEL good. it's interesting bc of how much that whole storyline also defangs Essun's original revenge plan against Jija, which is is like. It's unnecessary, maybe. Killing him won't bring back her son, and he has already suffered, and and and. maybe that is part of the message, I guess, when the entire crux of the series seems to rest on the idea that we hurt the Earth, and this is his vengeance, and at what point does vengence stop being justified. is it ever justified. Killing Uche broke Jija, what point is there in breaking him more besides self-delusion. When Syenite killed Coru it broke her, and Alabastor cannot forgive Essun for him but what point is there in revenge. And Alabaster did destroy Yumenes in revenge, but that's not the.... the point? His goal is to fix things and revenge is just one of the ways to get there. many thoughts. going back in.
#I found a physical set secondhand but i don't think it will get here before I finish this book lmao#thank you free novel read dot com#trb.txt#the fifth season liveblog#media blogging#UGH. <- how i feel#spoilers#not sure how to tag for those with like. a book i guess.#bc i want tlt homies to read this book

so im enjoying tgcf but i am having to come to terms with the fact that hua cheng is giving HUGE dark booktok-romance mafia husband vibes. and that it's working for me.
#tgcf#ive been watching the donghua#bc i got impatient waiting for my library holds of the books#and i just saw the first ep of s2 where xie lian goes to ghost city and finds hua cheng on his throne#with his fancy jewelry and his eyepatch and his arrogant “your hand? even your life is worthless here”#heaven official's blessing#tian guan ci fu#tgcf liveblog

i’m at a beach resort on the mediterranean with a friend in turkey after our weeks of work travel and the weather is perfect, the water is crystal clear, the food is good, and i think i’m healed.
#we got here yesterday afternoon and had lunch + swam in the water + had dinner + went to sleep early#we woke up around 6:30AM and have just been hanging out on our private balcony#we got a room upgrade bc she hit platinum at marriott during our work trip#(they DID think we were a couple bc we were too poor to book 2 rooms and the only options left were king beds lol)#(they fully covered the bed in flower petals and towel hearts)#(it was genuinely hilarious lol)#kat liveblogs her life#kat travels#ok technically it is the aegean sea

shoutout to Nicasia for being the only one who figured out Jude was the mastermind behind the coup. Orlagh, Madoc, and Balekin, the Big Brained Centuries Old Antagonists, as well as the rest of Elfhame, all convinced her she was wrong so she gave up on trying to prove it after a while but the way she made Jude sweat was soooo girlbosses supporting girlbosses
#k calling balekin big brained is a stretch but he is supposed to know more about the entire thing than NICASIA#everyone else was like ''oh poor little jude tangled in a situation she isn't capable of handling all because she was useful that one time'#while nicasia was foaming at the mouth screaming ''NO YOU DON'T GET IT IT WAS HER IT WASN'T CARDAN SHE DID SOMETHING TO FORCE HIM INTO IT''#man i love twk. by far the best of the trilogy. what a cool book#tfota liveblog#now i could keep going and monologue about how repeatedly across books cardan and nicasia know each other so well and know how each is gonn#act or react in a situation and how the reason she was the only one who knew the truth was because she was the only one who got to see his#vulnerabilities and wishes but i'm not gonna do that bc it's 2 am <3<3<3<3<3

i feel like media reviews have gotten more and more useless to me. rotten tomatoes and letterboxed ratings have nothing to do with whether i'll enjoy a movie or not. goodreads ratings regularly give 4+ stars to books i hate and 3 stars to books i love with all my heart. it's coming to the point now where i really am like. okay i just have to experience this myself and see if i like it bc the only person's taste who i trust is mine.
#liveblogging life#OR get detailed recs from people whose taste i trust or who know my taste enough to know what i'd like#which is frankly a pretty small population lmao#tumblr recs are also helpful bc theyre more detailed or nuanced#so i think it's really relying on a star rating system that i want to abandon#i cannot overstate how often goodreads gives a low rating to a book i love and a high rating to a book i hate. what the fuck.#this is also why i want to take every author by the hand and remind them that goodreads ratings are not the be-all end-all#bc tbh i feel like they REALLY dont reflect the actuality of how beloved a book is to people
