HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!
#tiger tiger#ludovica bonnaire#remy bonnaire#jamis arlesi#This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

#ahsjgdh i love the young xianle quartet sm they're almost barely not traumatized...kinda#they're very silly especially in retrospect#aaa i do also really want to draw young xie lian and mu qing but the idea of rendering that much gold detailing sounds like hell ywy#i'll do it but christ alive#my art#fanart#tgcf#tgcf fanart#tgcf spoilers#technically#also i haven't read past book 3 for now ywy#tian guan ci fu#heaven official's blessing#feng xin#hua cheng#...he gets one tag bc i'm not keeping track of all the aliases#every time i draw hc his hair gets worse and worse#my man has not seen a hairbrush in the past 800 or so years of his existence

Good lord this tomb is full of shitposts 😳😳 pt 1/pt 2
#sorry for the mercy/augustine sex jumpscare but i rly do think they have terrible sex every like. 200 years#they're like “Oh this Sucks I'm never doing this Again” and then hundreds of years pass and they get bored and they're like hmmm#maybe. it wasn't THAT bad.#the idea of bitching and complaining during sex is too funny to me#also my magnus design is pure indulgence#i just wanted to sexualise that old man. and he ended up looking like varric dragon age 😭😭#also also i gave Pal the fancy swoopy glasses that elphaba wears in the wicked trailer cos i think they're cool#okay now i gotta do some actual tagging#the locked tomb#tlt#gideon the ninth#gtn#harrow the ninth#htn#gideon nav#harrowhark nonagesimus#harrow nonagesimus#griddlehark#ianthe tridentarius#ianthe the third#mercymorn the first#augustine the first#palamedes sextus#palamedes the sixth#abigail pent#magnus quinn#john gaius#tlt shitposting#oh and i haven't finished Nona. i paused my reading because i found out there isn't a release date for the next book so I'm like#i need to make this last. i gotta ration this book out (<-stupid)

i have not seen anyone talk about this but I think about it every day/srs
The first thing Ponyboy says in (book) Two-Bit's character description is "Two-Bit Mathews was the oldest of the gang" and later specifies that he's 18 and a half. Darryl is 20. Ponyboy does not consider Darry part of the gang at the beginning and it absolutely tears me apart.
I also like how out of all of them Darry's character description is first (other than Ponyboy) Because to get the deeper meaning of this book you really need to see their dynamic and understand it, I really appreciate that we learn how Pony feels about him really before anyone else.
#i think about this so much but every time I read it in the book i'm still caught off guard#Dude I love the outsiders so much#all of them#this story genuinely kept me alive for a year#just oughqbwhdoushwosughbwbshd/pos#it's SO well written holy shit#the outsiders#the outsiders fandom#the outsiders book#ponyboy curtis#darrel curtis#the outsiders movie#ponyboy#ponyboy michael curtis#stay gold ponyboy#darry the outsiders#darry curtis#the outsiders darry#the outsiders darrel#the outsiders 1983#the outsiders 1967

Jason Grace from the old sketchbook for @somewhereincairparavel. Thank you, really.
I always thought he was one of the fandom sweethearts bc he has always been one of my faves.
#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians#jason grace#heroes of olympus#fanart#i always chopped his hair very short - 00's style.#i couldnt bring myslef to read the book where he dies#blonde superman of my heart#I always appreciated his POV chapters bc he can be really kind but still very down to earth (ironic. i know)#thanks for your own rant#that was a while ago but I still avoid the pjo fandom that revives every now and then#it still is very dear to me even when it tries to bite my hand every time i reach#my screen wallpaper is sill art I made of nico and hazel!. even 8 years later#....I actually met someone who glares a LOT.... then I learned that the guy doesn't see shit from far#so he squints but he doesnt wear glasses for taekwondo class haha. I was instantly reminded of Jason

#I thought I was among the minority of people having read it as a pre-teen but that seems to be a more common experience than I thought#I predict very variable answers cause it's the weird case of a book series starting 20 years ago‚ getting a new book every now and then#and then getting a boost in popularity from the tv show so if you reblog leave in the tags why you started and if have reread it#asoiaf#got#game of thrones#a song of ice and fire#hotd

I will entrench myself in literature this year no matter what the fuck it takes
#forgot how euphoric it felt to just be seen by a piece of writing#I’m excusing myself for last year bc I was having the busiest semester of my life & then traveled shortly after#so I didn’t make reading a priority#but no more. i have to consume more this year. it makes me feel so good whenever I’m down in the dumps#it’ll be hard in tandem w all the other shit I’m juggling but I’ll make it work#I’ll make it a priority for my mental health lol#just like I have to pop my vitamin pills every day I have to READ MORE to STAY SANE#teen me consumed so many books & i wanna go back to that. full on literature girl for 2024#p

This fandom is so nit-picky that I’ve seen more criticism on every little thing about wottg (a book that came out 2 days ago) than people saying things they liked about it
Edit: someone has already gotten mad so I repeat this is a joke and not that deep❤️
#I get it but like just enjoy the book man😭#be grateful you’re still getting one after all this time#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#like can we hype this book up!!!#we’ve been waiting for it for so long but when we actually get it all I hear is ‘Rick shouldn’t have done that’ or ‘this is so ooc’#and definitely a lot of ‘we should’ve seen more of this’#and the annabeth antis have already taken up my fy feed#this is a JOKE btw don’t come for me critique all you want#(I’m not really kidding but just in case the nit-pickers get mad)#annabeth chase#heroes of olympus#grover underwood#percabeth#leah sava jeffries#walker scobell#aryan simhadri#pjo fandom#wrath of the triple goddess#the senior year adventures pjo#I have seen good things about it though#and that’s nice#maybe it’s bc I read purely for the vibes and bc I love pjo so I’m not really picky with this book#I have my complaints too but it was even near bad enough to be disrespectful *ahem this is targeted#also u guys say this for every book#like which is it? If they’re always ooc are they actually ooc?#like ofc they can be ooc but this is always the same complaint for every book#i just had coffee even though I know it stresses me out so I’m riled up rn lol

"corsets are only surrounded by stigma because MEN demonized them" you can say it's because of the feminists. it's okay. sometimes feminists were wrong and did bad. it's okay to admit that.
#a little application of occam's razor will not hurt you#history#respublica#sexuality#x#did men say negative stuff about corsets at the time? yes. tightlaced ones. 'waspish' ones#I have an extant sample of such a criticism in one of my antique books#Dr. Flower gets a bad rap for demonizing corsets but if you actually read his book he is demonizing TIGHT-LACING#every woman a man knew in the 1860s wore a corset in some fashion or another#and had done so for 200 years#and would continue to do so for at least another 50 years#it was the feminists and flappers who killed the corset#periodt

I'm 40 pages into rereading a Titan's Curse after many many years and man does age change things.
I remember being 11 going "how could Bianca just give up on Nico to become a hunter" but she was a terrified 12 year old girl who's had to raise her little brother alone, and in the first hour of her discovering that she's a half-blood- after nearly being killed by either a monster or a gunwielding helicopter- she's approached by a pack of amazing girls and a Goddess who saves her life, tells her she can have 1. A family Forever (which she's Never really had), 2. her brother taken care of by people she Assumes are responsible and skilled, And 3. immortality- which to a 12 year old doesn't sound terrible even though it very much so is.
They got her in the First. 36. Pages.
#bianca baby I'm so sorry I misunderstood you#it took 10 years but I got it together#percy jackson#pjo#let me read the rest of this book maybe this opinion changes#i read it late middle school too but i have the memory of a ball of cotton so i just forget every media i consume even if im a diehard fan

Love the press’s dedication to discussing Charithra Chandran’s casting as “Miss Wednesday” like yes there are actually people out there who will be experiencing this global phenomenon’s story for the first time and they deserve to have it’s twists and turns preserved
#hey! no spoilers!#the book is 400 years old#yeah and I haven’t read it yet! have YOU read every book that’s been published in the last 400 years? 100? 20?#don’t step on other people’s chance to enjoy great stories for themselves#one piece#opla
