Book Fiyero: *immediately recognizes Elphaba and stations himself at the backdoor to prevent her from evading him, stalks her halfway across town to her aerie (even though at that point in time she was only a college friend he hadn’t seen in five years), insists on seeing her again, instinctively goes to comfort her when she first cries, gets sucked into increasingly deep and fraught conversations with her about collateral damage and freedom fighter terrorism, calls her the “most individual, the most separate, the most real” DURING AN ARGUMENT, says he adores Elphaba’s looks IN THAT SAME ARGUMENT, doesn’t understand Elphaba’s “being born with a talent or an inclination for goodness is the aberration” comment because (implied) he sincerely believes Elphaba isn’t evil, changes his mind about the plight of the Animals all by himself but doesn’t mention it to Elphaba because he is afraid she would distance himself from him, buys scarves for both his wife and Elphaba even though only Elphaba likes scarves, is so concerned for Elphaba and her dangerous Lurlinemas Eve mission that he stalks her instead of staying at his club or just leaving town altogether, and is so worried about her that he returns to the aerie just to see her*

Also Book Fiyero: Am I in love with Elphaba?

thinking about liu qingge ,,, only man unaffected by the narrative curse by virtue of being dead in another universe and thus unable to affect the one he lives in no matter how hard he tries ://

my controversial take on Mob Psycho found family is that labels are unimportant

for example: Reigen canonically views Mob as a little brother, but I don’t think the feeling is exactly reciprocated. Yes, Mob views Reigen as familial, but because he sees Reigen as such a responsible figure ever since meeting him, it kind of distorts how Mob perceives Reigen’s age (Reigen’s too young to be a dad ok). I feel like Mob doesn’t have a label for what kind of family Reigen is.

Don’t get me wrong though I LOVE dad Reigen content please keep it coming I need to see more content of it always!!! I’m the biggest found family fan ok

With Dimple the same applies, he’s family just not with any traditional label you’d put on family. He’s Dimple and Reigen’s Reigen!!!!!!

Made heart shaped cookies for the boys this year. 💞💞💚💚🫶🫶

It’s heart shaped short bread cookies with strawberry jam in the middle and dipped in chocolate 🥰🥰🌺🌺

I’m happy the cookies came out good 🥳👏 the chocolate dipping could have been better but I think I’m getting better at it 🤔 (next time I’ll try drizzling it instead of dipping)

I’m really happy how these turned out 🥰🥹 I love baking when I have the chance. It’s so calming and you just focus on it and nothing else and the results are your rewards. 🥰🥰💞💞

I love taking nui pictures and spoiling the boys too so there’s that as well 💞💞💚💚

Happy Valentine’s Everyone, from me and the boys to you all 🥳🥳💞💞

I was watching the new season of Heartstopper during my lunch break, and I fully started crying when Tori and Michael saw each other at the New Year’s party… why am I like this??

[valewritessss]

Wait I never got much into Sokeefe bc I was more focused on all the other characters and bc little me had just discovered that there’s a 50/50 chance you pick the wrong love interest in a love triangle so sokeefe was the last thing on my mind but seeing quotes on my feed is making me want to read it again but this time expecting sokeefe

i FINALLY finished dorohedoro and i’m not okay

[bookwyrminspiration]

The first time through, when everyone was saying “wow, that Jonathan sure can ignore red flags!” I also interpreted that to mean he wasn’t noticing the red flags and was comically unaware of his genre, and that’s how I understood the beginning. But rereading it and lines like “If this book should ever reach Mina before I do, let it bring my good-bye” (from day 2) makes me realize he was never not noticing them, he was, as we said, just ignoring them and rationalizing it away. He noticed but what could he do about it? So perhaps it was more comforting (for a while) to let it slide instead of facing that something was wrong. Even though things were off. Just something I noticed about how my understanding has changed

we’re nearing the hour of my yearly sf/f/horror reclist and guys I have been fearing for months now that four of my top five books will be by Seth Dickinson. i try to only put books that really blew me away in my top five and well. this year I read exactly five books that knocked my socks off and four of them were by seth dickinson.
