#I'm begging you to read a book

I mean, I guess congratulations are in order, Donald Trump. You’ve managed to mobilize an entire country. I’ve never seen so many Canadians this determined to buy local.

Have the day you voted for, y’all!

"Israel is more LGBTQ friendly than Palestine."

Let's say, that hypothetically, Israel is the most LGBTQ-friendly country on the entire planet. I STILL would be against them committing genocide. What they have done to Gaza is horrific and we should be talking about a ceasefire to prevent more innocent people from dying. But nah, people would rather shift the conversation over to something that's completely unrelated away from the war crimes the IDF is committing.

As a queer person who has lived in Texas and Mississippi her whole life, it has always disgusted me how gleeful some of you "progressives" act when something horrific happens to places you deem "conservative." Do you people not understand that every place has diversity, every place has LGBTQ people? People deserve to live full and happy and safe lives regardless of where they were born. There is nothing in the world that could ever justify the mass killings of innocent people.

can I just. listen. *cups your face in my hands* l i s t e n go read A Botanical Daughter. it's ADHD x autistic gay couple. it's our marriage is kinda failing but surely having a baby will fix everything. it's let's frankenstein the baby out of plants and fungi. shit fuck bad idea abort abort

it's frankenstein for the frankenstein haters aka me aka you if you like me appreciate the objective value of frankenstein but spend the whole book in a rage bc you want to punch victor in the face constantly. listen. you will only want to punch gregor in the face sometimes. and you will hardly want to punch simon in the face at all. and jenny is a gem who in my heart is transplanted into the original and yelling at victor on my behalf about how his creation is a person

also Noah Medlock brilliantly managed to work "shit-eating grin" into the book in a manner appropriate to both the voice and time period and a day after finishing the book I'm still both in awe and cackling over it 10/10 incredible no notes

I made a fanbind of the incredible Anastasis by @chthonion!! This fic series is truly something special, and even on my first read I knew that I wanted to bind it. This was also my first bookbind where I fully felt like I knew what I was doing, and I'm incredibly proud of how it came out!!

on today's episode of making the grishaverse make sense: trying to come up with somewhat historically plausible title for nikolai

[ax-the-artist]

Guys tell me why tf there aren't any good isekai reader x crk or any reader book in general?

Like I'm not trying to be rude but every single goddamn time I come across a book on Wattpad that might be interesting I instantly want to throw my phone because the MC is either too fucking much to handle OR it starts in Beast Yeast, LIKE COME ON MAN I JUST WANT A GOOD ISKEA/BAKER READER BOOK

I'm like a rat scrabbling for crumbs, there's barely any actual good books most of them are either forgotten or the author is having some trouble to publish the chapters before the 5 month or more mark

There's too many fucking ships or oneshots or specific x reader LIKE COME ON I JUST WANT A BOOK WHERE THR READER IS ISKEAED AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY BEARABLE AND IT IS PERFECTLY SPACED AND NOT IN FYCKING BEAST YEAST FOR ONCE IS IT THAT HARD PEOPLE

I'm gonna start tweaking I would have taken matters in my own hands but I'm an artist not a writer I don't do good with words

So i finally got my hands on translations of both the Odysee and Iliad!!!

And despite originally caring more about the story of the Odysee i decided to read the iliad first and I'm so incredibly glad i did!

About 20 pages in and two different women are separately kidnapped and taken hostage, Agamemnon and Achilles are at each others throats, the gods are getting involved, Zeus is threatening to beat up his wife and Apollo is spreading the plaque.

Meanwhile Odysseus is somehow on a peaceful road trip and has a sleep over with the boys after a fun karaoke night.

Since I was going through the Super Digest Books whilst looking for popularity poll results anyway, here's a couple more highlights

Q85: When are detective Takagi and Miwako Satou going to get married? A: I wonder (laughs). If they married one of them would have to leave the force, though (laughs) >>Super Digest Book 90+

Q23: When Sato will be married, will she retire from the police force? Or will she get transferred to another police division? A: But she likes to be a policewoman… >>Super Digest Book 40+

Q97: When detective Takagi and detective Sato will get married, which of them will be in charge of cooking? A: Well of course, that’ll be Takagi (laughs) >>RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book

malewife takagi real and confirmed

also, a lot of the time, Gosho avoids giving any of the ongoing "mysteries" away, so like..

Q62: Are Sera-san and Haibara cousins? A: Stop asking in a roundabout way, I'm not going to get tricked! (laughs)

Gosho: no spoilers!!! Gosho, 30 seconds later:

Q87: While solving all the problems in Conan, will the mystery on Kaito's father getting killed get solved in the mean time as well? A: They won't be solved at the same time! Moreover, he didn't get killed!

both from the Super Digest Book 80+, released in April 2015.. I'm not that knowledgeble of the MK series but I'm pretty sure this wasn't revealed at any point before this,, what was he even thinking lmao

there's a forum post from the DCTP forums where the translation was posted and people were talking about how much they hate this, if anyone's interested in reading the reactions. seeing people speculate about things is pretty fun too. Super Digest Book 80+ Translations

he had no right

Seeing a take so insane I must block the op + the post immediately or I'll be tempted to respond

ok ok its my fault for being on reddit but r/houseofthedragon rn full of people arguing that demon and his 99% neck lizard have a stronger bond than aegon and sunfyre and it's so fucking frustrating that its entirely condolt's fucking fault that this is even a fucking argument because he thinks the greatest bond between a dragon and his rider to ever go that fucking hard in this universe is pRopaganda and gives dae mon and car ax es more screentime. i'm just so fucking done man. never showed us sunfyre TRULY until it was time for demon jr the anime edgelord to attack him and aegon, never get the fact that sunfyre is literally on aegon's arms, never got the coronation flying, DIDN'T GET ANYTHING UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO FUCK HIM UP FOR THE PLOT.

i wish this mf would get fucking fired before he has a chance to touch these two anymore because I don't think i can handle how he will underplay and butcher the fact that this dragon literally fought tooth and claw with a broken wing to find his way back to his rider.

I must live through this difficult period in our national history along with the people of Germany. I will have no right to participate in the reconstruction of Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the trials of this time with my people … Christians in Germany will have to face the terrible alternative of either willing the defeat of their nation in order that a future Christian civilization may survive, or else willing the victory of their nation and thereby destroying our civilization and any true Christianity. I know which of these alternatives I must choose but I cannot make that choice from a place of security.

it's actually presently driving me a little batshit that people can't seem to separate games canon vs book canon in terms of the latest Witcher Netflix news right now

no matter what you think of the show or how skeptical you are of the direction it is going/has already gone. what's a character from tw3 who is already a bastardized book character have to do with it?

I'm so heavily anti-advertising that all pitches sound goofy silly to me/I can never take them seriously, so I have no idea how I'll manage to to advertise my game even if I do finally finish it soon-ish lol...
