#because... readthrough
Note
Hi! I like Elhokar too. His death was sad and in another world if he'd had a few more minutes maybe he could have become the person he dreamed of being.
hi!! yeah the worst part is the lost potential... he might have still been ethically dubious, but he was trying, and yet he barely got started on his redemption arc.
the hints of him almost just barely becoming a radiant are just brand sand being mean to me personally
#i don't know what the general fandom view of elhokar is#i think i liked his writing better on this readthrough (mostly because the foreshadowing hit harder)#in another world.......#blast babbles#shealot#anonymous#cosmere#stormlight#elhokar#cosmereposting#brandon sanderson#i should make more posts here i like getting asks :D#ty!!#stormlight spoilers#sorry followers! i tried! read the way of kings quick before u see more

also how long did it take you to read that thang
WELL i did watch a playthrough that had like detailed discussion and analysis of the whole thing throughout so its been a good like. 4-5 months??? on and off. its jokronos on youtube... i think if id done it myself id have missed a lot of the Mystery stuff cos im not used to engaging with stories on that level so having someone who IS used to trying to figure out the puzzles was very nice. also its a 2 person playthrough with one new and one rereader so thats also very nice
#kris.txt#umineko#this ones getting posted because im always going to be a jokrono umineko readthrough shill#goldpilot22

Please tell me more about tedmort as teens if you could!
Play along with my wip ask game here!
Hi Babs! I would LOVE to!
So I was going through my drafts a few weeks back and found this silly idea I had years ago for that scene in My Girl where Thomas Jay and Vada are practicing kissing on their arms that I wrote for another fandom. I really liked the idea but wanted it Tedmort, so I wrote it….
And somehow it went from two shy eleven year olds to 17 year olds spending their last summer together before senior year. This really jump started a lot of my headcanons and ideas for a full-blown high school au (which is kind of in the works, in a variety of ways!) in which Teddy and Mort grew up together and went to school with Bob and Linda. Had to fiddle with ages a little for that one but eh, I don’t really mind!
So this is just a little oneshot, where Teddy asks Mort with help with his budding relationship with Denise by giving him some very platonic, not at all weird kissing lessons. Where he gets the idea that Mort, the weird goth kid who’s never had a girlfriend in his life, who plans pretend funerals for fun, would have any sort of experience with this, nobody knows. But it kind of turns into a whole thing; Teddy sharing a bit about his home life and how he’d like to go into the Navy after school and Mort having a hard time articulating how much he’ll actually miss Teddy if he does. Plus, there’s a bit of a coming out scene (Mort) and it’s very sweet.
The thing is, this au sort of contradicts with a few of my previous headcanons for the characters and their lives but to tell an interesting story, I think it’s alright. It’s an AU after all. I could probably ramble on all day (and I have rambled on for…probably 17 minutes in a voice memo?) on my version of Teddy in this AU and his relationship to his parents, specifically his dad. It’s not necessarily how I think his childhood went in canon, but it’s been fun!
Here’s a teaser because I have no self-control with not sharing things I’m excited about writing:
Teddy didn’t know what else to say, so he cracked a joke, “So what I’m hearing is…I’ve kissed more girls than you.”
Mort rolled his eyes, reaching over to shove Teddy’s shoulder, “You kissed the Genarro sisters.”
“You kissed Gordon Bosco!” Teddy exclaimed and Mort wrapped his arms protectively around his knees, looking very small.
“So?” He mumbled, finally catching Teddy’s eyes. He held his gaze for a long time, before asking quietly, “Does that bother you?”
“No, of course not,” Teddy said honestly, shaking his head. “Why would it bother me?”
“Because…”
“Come on, Mort, you know me better than that. So what, you kissed Gordy. Was he any good?”
“I dunno, I guess.” Mort shrugged, looking a little uncomfortable. Teddy nodded, unsure what to say now. He wanted to ask when, how it happened…why. Had Mort started it or did Bosco? Was Mort…like that or was he just messing around.
He couldn’t help his curiosity, though he didn’t want to offend Mort. Touching a hand to Mort’s arm, he flashed Mort a small grin. “You kissed more boys than me.”
“What?” Mort said incredulously, leaning away from Teddy. “What is wrong with you?”
Teddy could tell he was holding back a grin and he chuckled, “It’s true! I’ve never kissed any boys. And you’ve kissed one…I mean, just one, right?”
“Uh…” Mort blushed and Teddy’s eyes went wide.
“You’re holding out on me, Mort! Guess I really did pick the right guy for kissing practice.”
#weeks months who knows#when I say ‘a few weeks ago’ or ‘the other day’ there’s really no telling how long ago that was#but anyway yes this has been so fun to write!#thanks for asking about it!!#caboose writes wip#caboose writes#tedmort#bob's burgers#this really needs another readthrough and some edits though gahhh dont look too close it’s not ready yet!#long post#because I don’t know how to keep things concise sorry!

thank god i have realized that i can Post On Tumblr (make insane little personal posts whenever i want) since the last time i picked up paradise lost. the girlies in the gc were not very receptive to my screaming over milton's descriptions of satan and of hell but i know in my heart that the tumblrinas will come through for me
#esp since i got like 150 new followers from a quiz going crazy ab saints 😭#i have gathered the target audience! the target audience is here!#'oh you need to know the political and historical context to fully understand paradise lost' (- my mother)#false. i can enjoy it as a work of literary fiction and a way to process my religious issues#BECAUSE. GOD. MILTON POPPED OFF.#not a fan of how he cast other religions' deities as Actual Demons trying to damn people to hell obvi.#but we can have Fuck Catholicism dissertations as their own post :)#do protestants believe in satan? hold on#yeah. yeah okay.#i get distrustful of what i assume to be commonalities between catholicism and protestantism </3#no saints over there. no communion no transubstantiation. like at this rate what Do y'all have#valentine notes#paradise lost readthrough

fighting for my life trying to find one specific hunger games post I saw ages ago now that I've finished rereading (good. lots better than when I first read it at age 11 because I've since taken a government class, started paying attention to current events, and gained media literacy) but the entire thing is filled with coriolanus snow x reader fics
#the hunger games#me post#@ my followers do not worry this is not a new special interest or hyperfixation#i just have to talk about every media i engage with at least a little bit#all i remember about mockingjay from my first readthrough was that i thought it was boring because of all the politics and only the first#two books were good#because at the time i was only in it for the action i guess?#now i understand! mockingjay's the most important one

The Avengers (1963) #3
#now that I’ve begun reading through the Avengers properly for the sake of being thorough in my Iron Man readings#I’ll admit that I’ve actually been toying with the idea of quickly rereading through the Hulk’s Tales to Astonish run#because it’s been a little bit since I had read it all I don’t remember it as well#and because I was not posting panels so much while I read back when I was reading it#right now I’m my Hulk readthrough I’m right at the end of 1979 and about to begin 1980#and I think that it could be a helpful approach#to read through the 60s then 70s then when the 70s are done to reread the 60s quickly#then read through the 80s and when the 80s are done reread through the 70s quickly#and not reading every single appearance like I did in the first go#but just the main stuff#because I do see some people on here who are very specific character focused#but it’s been years since the read through all of the comics of that character and are going off of faulty memory#which isn’t great#I take this stuff maybe too seriously but oh well that’s just how I am#it’s not like there’s a deadline to read through all of the Hulk’s appearances too#also maybe I miss that Hulk era a little bit and want to revisit it#anyway note here in these panels how Rick is asked by the Avengers to look for the Hulk#but he doesn’t actually contact the Avengers when he finds him and only does so after he loses control of the Hulk#marvel#bruce banner#rick jones#my posts#comic panels

Fitz’s study, where he keeps all of his memories of his life as Fitzchivalry Farseer hidden away from Molly and his stepchildren, is I think very symbolic of his dual lives and how even after all these years he will never fully let her in
#rote readthrough#realm of the elderings#rote#fitzchivalry farseeer#molly chandler#I don’t think it’s her fault#fitz has major abandonment and trust issues#he is absolutely terrified of anyone knowing all of him#I think it’s one reason he was always drawn to molly#because he can shut her out of the complex parts of his life#and just pretend he’s an average guy#that also scared him about the fool#there were no secrets between them#fitz and the fool spoilers

I normally really like Tynion comics but I truly hated DC Vs. Vampires past issue 6. And yet I am eagerly awaiting Volume 2
#I liked his run on Batman and Detective Comics (at least for that the parts that had Tim for my readthrough)#but good god DC Vs. Vampires was excessive#I was so into the concept too because I'm huge on vampires but as soon as people began acting incredibly out of character...no#Hal Jordan has one of the strongest willpowers in the universe. Which was only broken by seeing his city be nuked by Cyborg Superman#killing everyone who lived there#he would be able to resist the influence of the vampire king if damian and kate and a bunch of other characters could

Well, I’ve read the dramatis personae birthday party guest list and the 2.5 page prelude of Nona. So far I’ve
-googled a Bible verse, three place-names in New Zealand, and an organic chemical compound,
-decided that no really, I need a physical copy of Harrow as a reading companion,
-because what the actual fuck, already,
so... going absolutely according to schedule!
( ◕▿◕ )
#the locked tomb#nona the ninth#morwen reads ntn#I'm not gonna interact with any comments at all (or Tumblr really very much) while I'm doing this readthrough because I do not want spoilers#but I plan to do some amount of liveblogging because I am unreasonably excited

(brianna anon) AND ANOTHER THING… i would die to see dustfinger and roxanes first meeting, them as a young couple, their wedding!?!? their (brief) life with their daughters… it must have been the sweetest thing 🥲
you and me both omg. i'm ngl! i don't do fanfiction but i absolutely imagine all of these scenarios like pretty regularly. cornelia said she wants to do a prequel book at some point after tcor (right? i didn't hallucinate that did i? (i just spent altogether too much time double -checking that and i did not but dang #queenofselfgaslighting)) and it's supposed to be about dustfinger and the prince but come on. roxane and their family too??? please????
#i wasn't taking notes per se in this readthrough but i was like. /making note/ of all the things that mo and fenoglio#said were in the in-book inkheart novel#and first of all what the fuck even went on in that book fr#how is capricorn the main character but we know all about these side characters he would absolutely have never have paid attention to#or all the places mentioned?? why would capricorn go to the castle of salt wtf#why does capricorn's book describe dustfinger and roxane meeting for the first time lmao#but second of all mo says the book mentions brianna only briefly and says her name once so unfortunately#i headcanon that's because either 1) when the fire raisers are trying to torture (?) info out of dustfinger in the scene mo reads them out#he begs them not to kill him for bri's and rosie's sakes#or 2) when he dies at the end his last thoughts are either apologies to them or grief at never seeing them again#all of which are Bad#the second would kinda work better bc fenoglio won't fking shut up about how dramatic and touching dustfinger's death scene is#and fenoglio doesn't like animals but he DOES have kids so i would imagine he'd write a better death involving children#than one simply being sad over a wild ferret yk#inkheart#says kenna

so i need to read the genealogy of morality by nietzsche for this writeup but it’s the only text i needed for the writeup that i don’t own a physical copy of.
but today at work someone donated a copy to us that’s completely unsellable. there’s a massive scorch mark in the middle of the cover that goes through the first like 40 pages and it’s all written in. so i took it home but sadly whoever owned it before only wrote all over one chapter and it’s not the chapter i need to read for this writeup.
also holy shit this translation is soooo much better and easier to understand than the one that’s on project gutenberg. this was such a stroke of luck!
#squash rambles#wt writeup#the weird good luck of me hitting the nietzsche section of this edit readthrough and realizing i should read genealogy properly#and then this copy coming in and i get it for free because it's a disaster

god the way that satan frames their fall from heaven drives me so crazy. yes, we fell, but that does not mean we're defeated: we still have our spite, and hatred, and the will to pursue revenge, and so we have not been overcome. we may have fallen, but we threatened god's throne enough to shake it, and it is a far worse shame for the all-powerful ruler to be shaken than for lesser beings to be defeated. and still we can get up again. we did not know god's strength because how could we have known, no one has stood against him, but now we do know. we have been struck down and so now we know how to approach our plans in the future. we fell, and hell is the farthest thing there is from the paradise of heaven, but it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. we've fallen but changing the setting cannot change my heart. even in devastation we will rise again. our hate makes us stronger. it brings us together. it brings us hope. we will prevail.
#paradise lost readthrough#i just. grjghf#[ incomprehensible animal noises ]#the humility within the self-aggrandizement.#we are small and because we are small it is all the greater that we managed to achieve what we did!!!!!#he is bigger than us and so it is a far greater shame that we were able to threaten him!!!!#ough. you know
