I physically can't finish the Bumble essay video by moonkitti. I'm sick. Wydm, they saw an abused victim, turned her away for ridiculous reasons, made fun of her abuse, and got her killed. Wtaf.

JUST TEACH HER HOW TO SURVIVE AND RIP OFF THE COLLAR???

finally finished flash rebirth vol 4 after a year+ of stalling and…

myeah that shit was scary. like tearing up, heart drop, pit in my stomach-scary

yes even his pathetic ass line. ESPECIALLY his pathetic ass line

#killing me w the parasocial + stalker combo here #i’ve had nightmares like this #dc #the flash #eobard thawne #barry allen #flash rebirth #panels #‘i was never alone.’ punctuating the running theme of isolation (both external + self-inflicted) made me feel so sick #ive never read any other vol in this run and i rly should #like i started w this one. this was my first dc comic ever lmao what an introduction #and to only finish it a year later #‘why did it take you a year to finish it’ bc i was reading the halbarry chapter over and over every time i picked it back up okay.#i gotta stop reading at random like this im like a grazer but for books

Hit FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has genuinely compelled me to read and appreciate classic literature more than any of my many former years of school. I look at the silly rat show and am like I get it now, I'm gonna read Shakespeare, Beckett, Dostoyevsky, etc. and analyze the world for funsies, my grades 7-11 English teachers could NEVER.

#iasip #text #anmmbposts #it's about tracing back+understanding the source of influences+underlying connections that intertwine+remain inherently part of us today #it's about the beauty and horror of a universal idea and experience that perpetuates beyond time and setting #and you know much more whatever *kicks ten impulse purchased books under the bed*#it's about the tragicomic structure and the inevitability of a story's end and and and #oh that made me think of something else #ignore me! i'm just losing/expanding my mind over here #like i was good in english i did the analysis i got 90s and all but i never really “got” or liked most of the things they made us read #i didn't have real world experience or frames of reference to understand and teachers are... not the best at teaching #but there's just something in sunny that helped my perception grow up immediately something real and tangible and like #yeah it's paired w/ time that's passed i'm older now but also idk there's just something there that made the entire world click into place #okay dost*yevsky im picking up for other reasons but still branched off from sunny!

eon dragoneye reborn by alison goodman was so ahead of its time. genderqueer classic

#idk if i should go on a whole digression here but i picked it up in the library at 12-13 bc of the dragon cover #and the summary was like ‘girl disguised as a boy sword fighting and bonding with a dragon’ and it had a character list in the front which #is always a green flag #and i was so sheltered i had never heard of trans ppl before and lo and behold 1/3 of the way into the book a 2 spirit trans woman shows up #and literally the way she articulated her identity was like ‘oh okay cool! that’s a thing’#and she’s such a cool character and has SUCH a great romance with her bodyguard sddgdfhdsgjkllh #i will say eon’s genderqueerness was handled in a way that iirc felt like a letdown to baby me bc i think she immediately went back #to being full on woman after accepting herself and i was unhappy abt it but i may have remembered wrong im rereading & will report back #self

holds shilo up. do ypu ever think about cockatoos needing to watch their precious bird cages be destroyed and theyre just screaming and screaming and screaming but it has to happen because theyre too big now and staying in that little cage will hurt them. they love their homes but they have to be destroyed. and then. they are given another cage and it is bigger but it is still. A cage.

shakes shilo bathory around. I rhink about it. a little

#Holds metaphors up to him like im picking clothes #yes shilo wanted to leave #but haha. Ha. Destruction of everything he’s ever known and loved #all of his books. all of his favourite clothes. all of his least favourite clothes #how many of those books were the only copies. how many stories has he lost #his mother is gone and the last thing they ever did was fight #the complexities of cages and loving them and being freed and then never ever ever able to go back!!!#but its just! Another! bigass! Cage!#the suck

local idiot reads book titled 'icarus,' is shocked when it contains references to falling and the sun, more at eleven

#labhrambles #ok2rb #i am in SHAMBLES. i NEVER read anymore but jesus if this wasnt a way to start back up #also this is the first time ive ever annotated a book with like. little sticky notes #sort of as practice ig bc i was reading a snippet of the b*ab/el book by rf ku*an/g and went.#i cannot just read this. i have thoughts to think. i need to purchase this book and write in it.#but i had already started the icarus one so i continued that and started using stickies #you can VERY CLEARLY SEE where things started to go VERY WRONG #bc i used pink to denote Big Emotions (i dont know how to identify feelings)#then orange and yellow for direct allusions/adaptations from the og myth #then blue for teared up/cried #anyway. full on waterworks when i got to the authors note. three blues on top of each other for effect #i picked up ba*be/l bc a booktuber i like was losing her mind over it #like. I Read Three Decent Books And Also Ba*be/l. These Are All Like Three Stars. And Then There's Ba*be/l #and i went :D well *i* want to be that sad!!#also bc its like so thoroughly and necessarily entangled with language which i love #anyway im off to go sit in a corner. my mom literally came to check i was ok bc my light was off #bc i had to lie on the floor about a boy and his sun for a while

also truly think i cursed (good) myself by imposing a book buying ban bc an old professor is moving and she allowed a friend to pick through the books she didn't want and long story short i now have 27 well loved mostly film and literature academic books🥰

#i never stop winning. yes it was a a pain getting them back to athens from thessaloniki but soooo worth it #i really like the fact that im building a library of my own #growing up in a house full of books made me really want to also start building my future big library for when i move out #one brick (book) at the time #very grateful for my friend for letting me pick through the books #found a book abt eroticism and queerness in greek cinema i cannot wait to sink my teeth into #talks

this year i think i really figured out that I shouldn't just read classic works/academia stuff bc it sometimes doesn't spark joy and I need joy to read, like I re-read the hunger games trilogy while I was down with covid for the first time in 13 years and finished it super quickly because the words are so simple and the writing is so clean and contrite almost to the point that it wasn't enjoyable because I felt I wasn't being challenged.

I remember when I first read the series at like 12-13 how gripping the story was. I read THG for class and would go home and read every night until I finished, then I went out and bought the second book, because I was so crazy to know what happened next. I've always liked Collins' sense of pacing and ending every single chapter with a gut punch, because you're just like ooh what's gonna happen next, I need to turn the page.

anyway, that's all to say that I read TBOSAS for the first time while on covid bed rest and it was a joy to feel that feeling again and she's the only writer who's ever gripped, dare i say, ensnared, me with needing to know what happens next. like i cannot live, i cannot breathe if i do not know how it ends. so that's how i figured out i need to read more contemporary books.

#then i read mexican gothic but im still in a reading slump #i wanna get back to reading war and peace but I haven't picked that up since august and I still having finished el norte #i was also thinking it's time for a hundred years of solitude reread #i also want to read this book la hacienda which is also about this trend of putting characters into a gothic story but in Mexico #i never finished the sun also rises #and a farewell to arms has been sitting here collecting dust #i probably will just manage to finish the go tell it on the mountain #also another author that's managed to retain my attention enough #I read GIovanni's Room really fast #me

Finishing the last fifty pages of Leah on the Offbeat at 4am because I'm feeling gay and nostalgic

#so i bought leah on the offbeat like. last winter. maybe two winters ago. from a cute local bookshop #and then just never read it until last summer #when i had a lot of free time at my summer camp job so i spent it reading #and i finished the entire first ari and dante book #and then started leah #its not my favorite but it is cute and i like that leah is fat and bi like me #but tonight i watched a youtuber react to love simon #and i remembered that i still had a little left in the leah book #so i just picked it up and finished it #i really liked the ending tbh. it was very cute #my favorite 4am activity. completing my unfinished business #if ghosts are a thing because of unfinished business then when i die its just gonns be because of my tbr #im gonna come back as a ghost and immediately head to the library brcaude i know why tf im a ghost #its because i finish books until the last fifty pages and then just oeave it for almost a year #what kind of unhinged shit is that #anyway if youre a teen or looking for a lighthearted read then Leah on the offbeat is a solid choice

i had a really stressful dream, like every single part was so stressful, but in a less intense moment (decided after waking) i searched up which library had some dream book and went and it was literally like those nerd stores in the the mall where its pop funko in front then board games then books. except mixed into the books for sale were library books and good god my friends. the previous parts of the dream had legit really upsetting elements to stress me, but somehow this part was enough to jolt me awake at 7 on the verge of tears LMAOO

#like i was DONE with it. *falls back asleep*#there was a woman working in the store too who was having an affair with my dream non existent uncle and she was SO MEAN to me 😭#she was like ew id never do blahblahblah (im clearly blahblahblah in dream) LMAO. just terrible dream interaction #AND ALSO i could not find the library books and anytime id pick up a paid one she’d be like ‘finally. christ. 25$ please.’ 😭#she was an employee there but also a librarian too bc dream. and she was like if you dont paid you will be barred for life 😭😭😭

urghhgghgh sometimes i sit down to write and it really is like. wow. ive written everything i could ever have to say something about. what else can i possibly do

#even went back through all my old writing notes from years back to see if there was anything there i should pick up #but i mostly just felt embarrassed for myself #and like at this point im clearly in the wrong mindset to write #but it's jsut frustrating because i like to do it #it can be so exciting finding new stories #but idk how to get there right now #i had a lot of good ideas about one of my books yesterday #while at the same time being like well these are great ideas that im never going to do anything with because what's the end result

ugh i think i accidentally cursed myself again 🙄 i dont have the energy to cleanse myself and my house, guess ill just live with it 😒

#every time. EVERY DAMN TIME i get a depressive episode #unexplainable scary shit start happening around me and to me #blood in 5 eggs out of 12 #every single time i pick up a glass container i drop or knock it over no matter how careful i am #(and it ONLY happens if its glass every other material is safe)#shits flying off my shelves for no fucking reason #AND THE NIGHTMARES BITCHES THE FUCKING NIGHTMARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#stains that i know for a FACT were not there before appear in my books (i never eat or drink while i read)#back when i still owned plants they would always die (but that was probably just regular depression stuff not poltergeist stuff probably)#theres always a vague bad smell in my nose but as soon as i breathe in to identify/locate it it disappears #and only comes back when i stop paying attention #and i can swear on my soul its not coming from something in my appartment #that one time (not this time) everytime i blew my nose loose dirt came out instead of boogers that was scary as shit #anywayyyyyy im cursed AGAIN and its mildly annoying
