3 ships: Eddie Munson/Chrissy Cunningham, Bellamy Blake/Clarke Griffin, and then it’s a million way tie for third since I’ve only consumed these and not written for them: Anne Shirley/Gilbert Blythe, Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy, Sarah Williams/Jareth, Katara/Zuko, etc.

First ever ship: Inuyasha/Kagome! I googled them and discovered the existence of fanfiction.net lmao

Last song: “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel on my ‘80s hits station

Currently reading: I’m in between books at the moment, but my last five star reads were all three books in the Scholomance Trilogy by Naomi Novik, just last week! I will be yelling about them forever. I’ll probably be reading The Dragon’s Promise by Elizabeth Lim next! 

Last movie: My sibs and I are watching Addams Family Values right now

Currently consuming: I just finished a grilled cheese with grilled onions and fries from In-N-Out.

Currently watching: I’m in between shows tbh but I’ll probably hunt down the Call the Midwife Christmas special

Currently craving: a longer winter break 

I'll tag @starbound-wanderer, @notmylady, @cats-in-bowties, @jenniebellie, @flamingcabbage, @wherestoriescomefrom, @ilsemes, @asthoughtobreathewerelife and anyone else who wants to do this!

#reframing ( @asthoughtobreathewerelife​)

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

are you writing a dissertation at 22??? dang. Also, thanks for attis' groin weights!! v useful in my own research (wow, it's come to this)

ah sorry for the confusion!! what I'm writing at the moment is my final/fourth year research paper for my bachelor's degree, which is called a dissertation is the uk and ireland but would probably be called a thesis of some sort in the us! I'm definitely not a doctorate student, don't worry haha

📚25, 39, and 18, please!! 📖

Thank you for the ask so that I can ramble about books more!

25. How about favorite reading snacks?

I am all about the reading drinks— most often it’s tea (and yes, I do match the type of tea to the book I’m reading), but depending on what I’m reading/when I’m reading I’ll make a mixed drink to read outside in the summer (highly recommend blackberry mojitos), or hot chocolate for a fluffy read late at night. In terms of food, for reading I prefer something that I can eat over time like chips or pretzels (definitely salty over sweet), otherwise I won’t bother to eat while I reading, I’ll just stop reading and pick back up when I finish eating. Fun fact: did you know that the average Pennsylvanian eats 12 times the national average of pretzels? I thought this was a hoax until I realized that the average American only eats a single bag of pretzels a year???? I truly don’t understand non-Pennsylvanians.

39. Favorite book to movie/ TV show adaptation?

Stardust! Look, I love Neil Gaiman, but I often find his writing style is not compatable with my reading style. I love his concepts, plots, characters, but often find actually reading through his work a slog (though I’ve been listening to audiobooks of his work, and that helps a lot! I definitely enjoy them more in audiobook format). But Stardust the movie?? Transcends everything. Is it the kind of high art valued by the elites and the academy? No. But must a movie be “high art” to be great? Name a more fun movie, I dare you.

18. Recommend a book to the person who sent you this ask.

OKAY so, of my recent reads that i haven’t mentioned yet, I think you would enjoy Malice by Heather Walter! It’s a sapphic retelling of Sleeping Beauty, where “Maleficent” and the princess fall in love, and I loved it! Though, fair warning, it is the first in a duology which won’t be completed until next year. But read Malice and then we can suffer through the wait together! (Of course, knowing our overlapping taste, there is a good chance you have read this already, in which case I will apologize and recommend you 3 more books to try and make up for it)

Thank you for the ask and for enabling my book talk even further 💙

@asthoughtobreathewerelife YES!!! thank you so much, I've been looking for this quote for literal months!

WHERE is the stephen king quote from some interview thats like "I write a lot of the same stuff, like producing quality baloney/bologna, which is fine if you like baloney"

[alexandriad]

Hi there! Just came across your GORGEOUS ancient gay greeks red figure pottery - is there a way I can purchase a print to hang on my wall? to show off to all my friends and colleagues? to love forever? many thanks!

hey! thanks a lot, I’m glad you like my art! I’ve just added these designs to my shop, where you can get them as prints (or anything else you would like)
