For.

Ever."

i feel like people completely misunderstand addie. like no, she didn't fight in a war or do something so drastically incredible with her life, she spent her time trying to leave a mark on the world - but isn't that what so many of us long to do? writing "___ was here" in concrete, posting things on social media, creating businesses that will hopefully out-live us. people seem to limit her to the bland storyline and 'pick-me-ism', and that's a valid opinion, but i disagree. life itself is not going to always be exciting. what addie does is continue to live, not just survive, ignoring the hollowness that could just as easily swallow her up. she romanticises her life, that is true, but what is wrong with that? don't we all sometimes? she is making the best of the bad cards she got dealt. she can still appreciate the art in the world, she can still enjoy the sunshine and good food and lovely music. she did not let bitterness suffocate her; she made a life out of it

a wonderful caricature of intimacy

by eliotcardale

“Deny, deny, deny,” Victor murmured, and then, took a step closer, cocking an eyebrow. “Are you really that afraid that I might be right?”

Ironically enough, that, Eli did not deny. He instead countered with a question of his own. “What makes you think my faith is blind?”

March 2025 Wrap-Up

I’m a little more on top of things than last month — I’m only three days late! What a resounding blogging success I am. Books Read: 1. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka: This had been on my to-read list for a while (possibly since it was published), and I’ve been keeping an eye out for it as I trawl used bookstores because that cover is gorgeous. Then I remembered…

the tiktok part of the vicious community is genuinely scary.. I’ve seen so many people genuinely hate eli.
