NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

Don't get my wrong, I love the Society of the Blind Eye with my heart and soul but in the back of my mind it always felt like a bit of a cop-out. Everyone except the main mystery shack gang has had their mind erased? Stan's easy enough, he's a master lier and con man, and convinced his family he had no clue the paranormal existed. A secret society believing his ignorance is easy to except. However, they probably would have heard about the convenience store (teenagers who post everything, remember?) And based off of Robbie's interrogation they knew that Dipper was involved and never came for him.

Therefore I propose:

The Society of the Blind Eye came for Stan long before the series started, and in a classic Gravity Falls hijinks fashion Stan got the upper hand and scared the Society so badly that they've avoided anyone from the Mystery Shack ever since. (Until mystery twins and co. broke in of course)

Cannon compliment, cool, and hilarious.

Something that makes reading TOA so devastating is how fucking much Apollo feels about Everything. There’s so MUCH. Like I don’t even know how to describe it to you if you haven’t read the books yourself. He has so many complicated thoughts and emotions about just about everything and he cares about everything so much and there is just SO MUCH going on in his head. And yet none of it ever reaches his mouth!!

He almost never says what he’s feeling. What little comes out of his mouth about his thoughts barely even scratches the surface of what he actually means. Like he’ll be having a long ass monologue about how incredible someone is, showing a deep understanding of them as a person and empathizing with them so hard you’d almost think it’s projection but it’s not he’s legitimately just mind melding with this random person he met like a week ago and he’s thinking the softest, kindest thoughts about them like he knows they’re fucking incredible - and what comes out of his mouth is just like, “you’re a wonderful friend :)” AND ITS LIKE. THERES SO MUCH MORE UNDER THE SURFACE. the sheer admiration and adoration he has for everyone around him……… UGHHH!!! But he never VOICES ANY OF IT!!!!!! He never tells anyone about what Zeus did to him……. He never tells anyone except the reader about his realization that Zeus is abusive…. He never even tells commodus about how much he adored him, not then and not now… he refuses to tell anyone when he’s in pain or tries to justify the things he does when he actually had Decent Reasons for why he did something… I’m. I’M. AUGH. AHHHHH

HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL US ALL OF HIS THOUGHTS IS THE THING. THERES EVEN MORE THAT HE IS NOT TELLING US!!!!! THE FUCKING OCEAN OF FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS HE HAS ABOUT EVERYTHING IS THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION. I AM IN DISTRESS.

And YET…. Even what slips out of his mouth is so fucking devastating it is SO devastating. He’s so fucking kind and gentle with Harley and Meg and and other younger Demis and his kids… he’ll act like an obstinate idiot and then turn around say something that drags the core of the person he’s talking to into the light like nail on the fucking HEAD like he reached into their soul and gave them the words to express something that they were struggling to say aloud or that they didn’t even realize about themself. Around the 2nd book he starts putting voice to some of his feelings and thoughts about others and even that tiny fucking sliver is overwhelming to the people he’s talking to bc he’s SO. AUGHHHH

fuck i'm actually going to end up enjoying Sevpercy huh

maybe in a picky I like them when they are in my head or when I do it kind of way

or in a time travel way because when it comes to Snape I like his teenage self a lot more than his adult self

I love a good hateread but man it sucks when snobs think that critiquing popular genre fiction makes them smarter than the ppl that read it

That belief ignores that novels, and all art, are a medium. Blank page, blank canvas, etc.

Assigning a singular True purpose to art is reductive, and kind of silly? If you can't understand "the purpose" of an art piece, that's fine. The artist might've wanted that effect

Or maybe, just maybe, that particular artwork isn't for you.

Yeah, I think a lot of books kinda suck, that happens with art, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

I'll rant to friends, and not read more from the author, and commiserate with fellow haters. But it is not stupid to read, to find enjoyment in what others mock.

Cringe is dead, indeed.

Beyond that, the True Art idea doesn't take into account all of the ways, all the reasons, books and art are consumed.

Often, people know their fave books aren't "high art", but they still read them! After a long workday, during their rare free time, bonding with friends, or just for fun.

It actually takes quite a lot of mental energy to read and process a lot of Literature. And the themes can be a fucking downer, not everyone wants a 600 page character analysis of a horribly broken person spiraling further.

There's a reason why I am still trying to finish this fucking Dostoevsky, yet have read so many cute queer romances between attempts.

Idk man, don't hate the player. Hate the game!

sigh, time to get engaged I guess....

how many variations of "x reader" does a man have to blacklist and users to block before tumblr stops giving him almost exclusively those posts

[saturday-byte]

i love webnovels because they can trick me into reading a whole book even during times when i would not be able to make myself read an actual book-book. which is not to say that webnovels aren't books? just that it's different when the text is in my browser, somehow

yesterday, instead of going to bed after i had finally finished reading copy/paste (a series of 3 short stories rather than a novel), i somehow started reading time to orbit: unknown as well and simply kept reading until i was so tired my body forced me to lie down Right Now Immediately without brushing my teeth. whoops.

12 hours of sleep and half a day of normal activity later, i am now back to reading!! i have no idea how long that story is or if it's finished yet or anything, but i'm on chapter 36 and highly recommend it

i know tumblr is the home of "we piss on the poor" reading comprehension, but really, at least we're all still lightyears ahead of fucking reddit

[bluebipples]

i still think the pro/anti shipping debate is so funny bc on one hand the freedoms that come with the internet should be upheld and protected but on the other hand some people think that those freedoms and rights include shipping children with adults & fetishizing sexual assault lol
