Going from finishing They Both Die At the End to listening to TMAGP 30 has not been very good for my psyche. Anyways here's some art of a certain in-story Instagram post from TBDATE

Speedpaint and sketch below the cut:

[sirius-you-know]

Do I like reading depressing stuff? Or do I like getting a sense of comfort and understanding when I feel I'm all alone?

[terymlxyrstdus]

i read a lot of angst. I read crimson rivers, I read atyd fuck I read choices for normal people I read they both die at the end, the perks of being a wallflower, dead poets society, call me by your name so i thought in my experience there really isn’t book that would totally emotionaly kill me…well i started the Book thief yesterday. I literally read 30 pages and oh man that book is something else

[writtenicarus]

"but have you read the classics?"

ive read the classics. (mlm version)

[0lympians]

i miss when i used to read books all the time. like spending 90% of my waking hours reading. i used to start a book one day, then finish it the next day. i miss that sm.

[jazzkrebber]

that lap around the house when a plot twist is that good but you have no one to talk to about it

[ghost-nugget-11]

when ur in the middle of a rlly good book/comic and your getting nervous and you wanna read a fanfic making a specific scene happier but you don't wanna be spoiled

[justanotherbarrelrat]

Okay so I finally got my copy of They Both Die at the End with me again. And I-

“Forget that, ‘warning’ is too strong a word since warnings suggest something can be avoided, like a car honking at someone who’s crossing the street when it isn’t their light, giving them the chance to step back;”

like a car honking at someone who’s crossing the street when it isn’t their light

Literally on the first page of the first chapter. Adam Silvera really said ‘lets put as many pieces of foreshadowing in here as possible’ and expected me to be okay with that

[can-tthink]
