I can behave normally around books
#shitpost#anyway guess who brought home 24 new books today?#if you guessed me. well. you would be correct#in my defense I only bought 5#for a combined total of usd#where’d the number go. it was 17 usd#the rest were from me going through what my dad was getting rid of for space and claiming it for myself#but either way#24 in one day is a personal record I think#also I do fully intend to read all of these it’s not hoarding for hoardings sake

#good omens#´hello friends!! how are you!!#I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` )#I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey#usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from#most of the time I just get a stuffy nose#has my nose gotten stronger#but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁)#it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet#but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (:#and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors#I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set#the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer#but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet#unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home#which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car

A guy who just wake up from a coma -> what did i miss?
Pomefiore was the last plot i follow before real life made me forget about our silly boys. How bad has the plot become now for our gang? Also who is that Gojo looking guy?
anon, I am so sorry and I mean this in the best way, but I do think episode 5 is the absolute funniest place to have stopped following Twst because shit starts escalating SO fast after that. episode 6 literally starts with a secret government shadow agency breaking down our doors and kidnapping students. zero to a million instantly.
and like...that's not even the zaniest thing so far? Ortho's hacked into the collective human unconscious. there's time travel (sort of). "Crowley might be Malleus' long-lost father" is a serious theory. if you'd told me any of this back pre-episode 6, I would have asked for the link to this unbelievable but highly intriguing fanfic.
also, episode 7 gave us (and then immediately took away 😔) the best character in the whole story:
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#there are better and very comprehensive summaries out there so i'm not gonna get into it with any seriousness#(genuinely a LOT has happened)#but let's recap very quickly#episodes 1-5: our friends' RA is a huge asshole! jack's sports idol is trying to cheat at the big game! who will win the talent show!#i sure hope no one turns into a monster and tries to kill us!#episode 6: a shadowy government organization has stolen our friends (and cat) to experiment on#idia throws himself into hell and then tries to destroy the world. we punch ortho so hard he grows a soul.#episode 7: malleus has an existential crisis and traps everyone in an eternal dreamworld#extended diasomnia backstory flashbacks reveal that silver is a cursed prince and lilia wanted to be the filling in a royal sandwich#somehow sebek is the most normal character and that's the real twist right there#every new chapter is its own wild fever dream and i'm so here for it#as for this gojo fellow#i had to google him because i am unfamiliar. but i believe you are referring to our dear friend scully (skully?) j graves#from that time we got sucked into a magic book (again) and then he got mad at us for being fake halloween fans#also he wouldn't stop kissing our hand. who says there's no smooches in twst.

literally how fucked up is it that you could wish for anything in the world, knowing that your life got fucked up at so many turns by other people, yet your one wish is easing the regret that you never got the chance to truly know him, understand him until it was too late. you were rivals; you weren't real friends but you were, you wanted to be. you wanted to be something else too. you wanted your wish to be more than just undoing someone else's bad decisions, you wanted it to be something - or someone - good that you chose.
you wanted to just spend time together; little more than playing chess with each other would fulfill your deepest desires. and it's no less than what both of them wanted. it's so gay it kills me

#i introduced like 5 new people to dead boy detectives this weekend and it was great#but see my autism was autism-ing a little too hard lmao#and the entire time they were talking about how crazy i was about this show i was just like “you don’t even know the half of it…”#you think i am crazy about this show?#i have read over a dozen books worth of fanfiction about this show#i have a whole tumblr blog dedicated to this show#i watched smile 2 and rise of red and the lodge and fate the winx saga and senior year just because of this show#but i didn’t say that cause i still need to maintain a semi rational and sane persona#dead boy detectives#my posts#dbda#ao3#edwin payne#charles rowland#payneland

All the final lines of each part of every Hunger Games book
THG:
Part I:
“Because . . . because . . . she came here with me.”
Part II:
Before I can stop myself, I call out Peeta’s name.
Part III:
I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.
CF:
Part I:
It’s my mockingjay.
Part II:
This is no place for a girl on fire.
Part III:
“Katniss, there is no District Twelve.”
MJ:
Part I:
And his blood as it splatters the tiles.
Part II:
That I’m of more use to her dead than alive.
Part III:
I tell him, “Real.”
#thg#the hunger games#catching fire#mockingjay#peeta mellark#katniss everdeen#gale hawthorne#thg book comb#curious that 5/9 of these involve peeta#and he's not just mentioned in passing#from his revelation of love to him being tortured to katniss's feeling about him#he's KEY he's CENTRAL he's THE DRIVING FORCE THAT USHERS IN THE NEXT SECTION OF THE BOOK#over to gale#poor guy is in one (1) final line#and even then he's just relating news to katniss#the subject is the destruction of district 12 (her home)#it's a heavy and jarring line because of what d12 means to katniss#NOT because of gale himself#and NOT because of anything to do with their relationship#also interesting that the only characters/players these ending lines focus on are:#peeta (x5)#coin#snow (implied)#and the rebellion#never prim or gale or anyone else#although I know they have several CHAPTER endings all to themselves#so this is NOT to say that a character's presence (or lack thereof) in these particular final lines#is directly related to their importance to the plot#(see: snow)#HOWEVER

🤡 happy twst april fools~ 🤡
(The last three April Fools’ Days were magical wheel/blastcycle-themed! For information on those, please check out this post!)
This year, you will be able to get “Magical Monitors” for the Guest Room from the in-game shop. It is a decoration item that depicts the VDC/SDC squad (Vil, Rook, Epel, Jamil, Kalim, and Adeuce) performing on a mounted flat screen TV.
This new limited-time furniture item pairs with a new video (VPN required for regions outside of JP, I believe). It shows a newscast-style skit (presented by Jamil and Kalim’s) and then an MMD performance of the NRC group performing the full version Absolutely Beautiful. (Yes, it involves the dance routine, including some ballet-like moves, and Jamil’s rap!) Afterwards, they show the audience how to do the dance moves at home. If that first video link does not work, try this one (in 2 parts; see the comments for the second half).
Additionally, there are plans for Extra difficulty to be added to regular battles mid-month. Previously, Extra was only in limited situations such as Unified Exams and (Guest Room) Material Collection Battles.

thinking about elena ferrante and the neapolitan quartet and the line — 'if nothing could save us, not money, not a male body, and not even studying, we might as well destroy everything immediately.'

Theres something about big booktoker/booktuber shelves that really heebies my jeebies
#its the all new everything#the identical matching hardback covers#of books that every other bookwhatever has#its the long rows of illumicrate botm etc editions#wheres the old favourites? the books so loved through youve sellotaped the covers on#but still refuse to throw away?#wheres the ugly impulse purchase thrift finds that just sounded too intriguing to leave#wheres the mismatched series bc you couldnt wait to read the next book#wheres the hand me downs that you dont like that much but have so much sentimental value#your old childrens books? your textbooks bc you got really into a subject for no reason?#the library book you forgot to return 5 yeads ago and is just yours now oops#yknow. the books that make your shelf look like it belongs to a human#instead of something an ai spat out
