Instagram booktok is literally so fuckin weird…literally weird as hell for romanticizing shit.

look me in the eye and tell me that this isn't overconsumption 💀 (you're lying, or incredibly blind)

im so mad rn i dont trust myself to talk so i'll show some ss of the comments

these book girlies will defend literally anything (including DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT) as long as it fits their quirky book aesthetic.

By this logic, fast fashion is acceptable and cool and cute as long as the buyer wears every single item once in their life. And, sure, she might indeed read all these and cherish them etc etc but she's glorifying the culture here. what happens when all of her followers follow in her footsteps and impulsively buy 100 books because their favourite bookstagrammer made it seem cool? how many trees will we have left????

the worst part is that 95% of the comments are PRAISING HER! going as far as to say "proud of you" and "i wish i could do this" ???? HELLO???

the 5% who speak up are met with the flimsy argument "its not overconsumption if she reads all of them!" (which i have alrdy countered above) OR they say "stop judging" (tf? we're literally caring about the environment here 💀)

AND.

"whats wrong about buying art? we're supporting the authors!🥺" it's not wrong to buy art/books. however, it IS wrong to buy 100 books at the same time and GLORIFY it, on an account with tons of followers which are bound to idolise your actions and do the same

not to mention that she got these from amazon 💀

anyone who disagrees, FIGHT ME.

do you know. the amount of reels. where some clown is like "IF YOU'RE A READER YOU HAAAVE TO WATCH MY LADY JANE!!!" I have seen over the past few days. I am trying to move on and forget I am trying so hard and they are making it impossible

Tumblr is an interesting phenomenon. You can be gone for years, but when you log in, it somehow still feels like ... home.

I've seen people say on here that they don't want their irl friends to know they write fanfiction.

babes, I run ideas by my friends, my friends' friends know I write fanfiction. Acquaintances have seen my kinktober writing plan. The fuck do you all mean?

I'm so glad I write fanfiction, like, I have a PERSONALITY, I'm CREATIVE. Thank God my only personality trait isn't partying, cause now...that shit I won't want people to know about

(also, I'm not implying anything, it's your life babes and you all live it the way you want. If it's about separating writing from everything else, that's good, love that for you! But if you all are scared of judgement, fuck those judgemental bitches, let them take a hike)

We are finally getting an irl au of our babies!!

i’m so jealous of people that can annotate books. every time i try, it significantly reduces my enjoyment of the book . . . it’s such a drag . . . but it looks so nice and has so much personality . . .

yet another copy of wuthering heights i was able to get my little hands on. the lovely note sold me on it immediately!
