#I'm a little ways into the second book

[lameotello]

The Hobbit book is less gay than the movie, but I still greatly enjoy the relationship between Thorin and Bilbo in the book. When Thorin smiles all proud while locked up in an Elven dungeon, noting how much he's come to care for and respect Bilbo? Yeah that does things to my heart

not sure why it 2017 got so popular actually at all. like ostensibly it was because people loved the best friends / coming of age dynamic but . those aren't even best friends. those are just guys who let each other copy their homework

Hey y'all, I am blanking on a word so hard I am even blanking on the words to describe that word What's the term for like...groups of colors? color palettes but more specific? I'm looking for the generic term, but the specific words that are versions of that generic I can think of are things like earth tones, jewel tones, pastels, and maybe brights/neons I'm trying to figure out other categories like those but I cannot figure out what the word is to search

Sorry for talking about Harry Potter on main, but I guess one can't really have their house elf do their laundry, right?

'Cause if Lucius Malfoy handing Dobby a destroyed diary that just so happened to contain a sock, and not even his own sock, just a random sock, that he didn't even know was in there, qualified as enough to free Dobby, then would having a house elf do your laundry not also qualify as "presenting them with clothes"?

The implication here is that the intent to free them does not need to be present in order for it to count; handing them anything that even just contains clothes within is enough to qualify as "presenting them with clothes". A basket full of dirty laundry you want them to wash is still, very much, "presenting them with clothes", ergo, do your fucking laundry yourself I guess lmao

Why is Moonchild so good it's not supposed to be this good my soul feels out of place now aleister wtf did you put in this holy smokes book so good I'm not even bothering with punctuation and capitalization and the restraint of "no one on tumbler needs to see my nonsensical ramblings" well yes they do. Go read moonchild now that is an order.

also bc corporations are the bane of my existence when it comes to finding what is relatively not even obscure content, number one enemy of archival, I'm trying to work my way through creating my OWN ebook versions of the ponyville mysteries chapter books bc i could only find ONE POORLY FORMATTED WEBPAGE containing the text of volume 4. I sat through TWO HOURS of mediocre quality audio of some guy reading it just to be able to mark the chapters, and parse through deleting every 2 spaces they used instead of indentations. and then making it fit into relatively the same number of pages as the og book. if anyone has links to even the weirdest formatted pdfs, or hell even the physical books and would be considerate enough to scan them, I'd LOVE to get my hands on them to digitally archive in an more easily accessible way

[kestrel-wish]

Honestly almost forgot how much I loved reading books. I love the unfathomable amount of joy they give me. I love the little stifled half squeal half scream of delight that blocks my throat for a few moments when a part of the book makes me particularly laugh or smile at a joke or wholesome moment. And when I have to try my best not to let it escape my mouth so I don't screech out loud seemingly out of nowhere like a little kid at a McDonald's playground playing tag.

i did like the hidden palace but (SPOILER if anyone hasn't read it?) i'm genuinely so annoyed at how Arbeely is handled like... I wish i could be sad but i'm just fucking irritated. I was overly invested in him and that's def why but i just feel like they did him dirty

[every-aj-needs-an-angel]

Just finished RWRB no one look at me

[monstrsball]

wait. hold on a second. i'm connecting the dots. i'm connecting them. this means something (it doesn't)

[blujayonthewing]

so I've finally actually read A Christmas Carol and I'm actually astonished at how closely Scrooge sticks to the source for most of the story, considering how absolutely wildly it goes off the rails in the third act

[sovamurka]

As a person who read almost the entirety of 'Legends of Bubble' series I can say that it's bonkers how 'Dreamcatcher' is the smallest book in the series yet it's surprisingly the most important book for its original source.

'Demonslayer' has, like, 5 separate legends, two of them are fucking HUGE (with 'Yarkh. Step up' being the biggest) but 'Dreamcatcher' is the only one that actually ties the first and the second part of its source material and uses it cleverly. It's amazing.

I read this one with the expectation that it's a fanservice-y kind of comic book that could potentially explore the characters but have very little impact on the story as a whole. A story for a very specific audience, a story that could be just skipped. But nooooooo.

They went HARD on this one. Not only we learn more about Balor and Yana's relationship and how it's even more fucked up than we thought (the part where we learn how their first meeting actually happened and whose fault it was had me shooked), but we also learn what kind of plans they had for the future, we learn why they do what they do in Vol.2, we learn why and how the whole 'Satan in the knife' plot started.

But the craziest thing is that they basically spoil the entirety of Vol.2. I kid you not, the way they splattered small delicate details everywhere that you only notice and connect after you read the entirety of 'Demonslayer' is insane. It was not even a Chekhov's gun, it was straight up a Chekhov's cannon. And if after you read it for the first time you're like 'Well, that was fun, moving on!', on your second reading you experience something akin to the existential crisis mixed with five stages of grief. And if you decide to read 'Demonslayer' in its entirety again, thanks to this you'll see everything in a new light and cry over things you didn't cry about before! In fact, you'll finally understand things you didn't understand! You'll also be obliterated by the ending twice as hard this time!

And to this day it drives me crazy how all of this was done in just 114 pages.
