Remember Borders? I miss Borders. I got to meet one of my fave musicians when I was working there as well as @neil-gaiman (pretty sure my coworker cried a little when he met him).
Loved how they were each other’s biggest fans, I didn’t even know they were dating at the time 🤦♀️ . #relationshipgoals

They had this in the 1990's. It was called Barnes and Nobles. There was also Borders. It was great. You could get coffee, read books and magazines for free, get dessert, sit and listen to an acoustic set on certain nights for free, study at one of the big tables for free, shop, sit in a comfy chair and relax, meet someone for a first date, buy books and magazines, etc. Then something called Kindle and then something called Amazon came along and ruined it.

#☽—— ⸢ my edit ⸥#˖ ♡ 𝒻𝒸. » heart aching ( anna emily )#f n a f /#me: hasn't written her because i hadn't decided on an fc#also me: i should add her as a full muse now ( i won't yet i promise lmaooo )#i've literally written out her muse bio and everything tho in notion lmao#she's a manager in a bookstore and she's from a town in arizona right near the border of utah#her parents are chinese immigrants and she has two sisters she adores#she wants to own her own business one day and is super supportive of henry's work while they're together#like she's so down to brainstorm with him ( & william if he's willing lmao ) and is def smart when it comes to business stuff#( and not in a cutting corners way either. glances at both my henry and william. )#and she's a very good mom to charlie as well as a good aunt-like figure to the af.ton kids#love love love the idea of her and mrs. af.ton as best friends even once they've both divorced the Disasters#but i think she gets bad vibes from william like. . . not immediately but earlier than most. she's friendly but it's minimal y'know lmao#but obv she doesn't guess what he's /actually/ up to. just thinks he's a dick ( valid )

Hii I am currently looking for some new comics to read so I was hoping Tumblr could perhaps have some recommendations?
I am very open to different genres etc, pretty art is definitely a big bonus :D
(For reference besides Ttlotfk and Tua I have read and quite enjoyed Blacksad, all the Witcher comics, Cyberpunk 2077 Comics, Doom Patrol, modern Venom comics, also quite a bit of shounen manga and I am currently reading Paper Girls so yeah a lot of different stuff lol)
Also since many comic books are hard to get in Czech Republic I would definitely prefer ones that are not divided into issues (or that are but a collected version has been released) and that do not have too many parts, sorryyy
And thank you greatly for any recommendations, I really appreciate it
#i presume the rest of Blacksad they all fall down won't be released any time soon#and since I have a guft card to our local bookstore it's time to broaden my horizons XD#(well I did want JoJo manga in German but somehow it is near impossible to vuy books in german in a country that shares half of its borders#with german speaking countries and where german is the second most taught foreign language lol)#but yeah any recommendations will be highly appreciated :D#comics#comic books#danger days#ttlotfk#<sorry ik it is unrelated but it feels like you guys definitely will have some cool recs

Idgaf that Barnes & Noble is still open and the biggest de facto defender of brick and mortar bookstores - Borders was better 💅🏽

Borders Book Stores Middle East Now Carrying Tamagotchi Original
Borders Book Stores, who has ceased operations in the Untied States, still has several locations outside of the Untied States. Borders Book Stores Middle East has just announced that they re now carrying the Tamagotchi Original P1 and P2 in store!
We’ve been seeing Tamagotchi have a greater presence in the Middle East, and this will help distribution. Borders Book Stores has locations throughout Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait.

you said merms bloodlust and i thought "ooh merms vampire fic? 👀"
NO BUT SERIOUSLY i hope you are feeling better and good things come your way merms lovey <3
fun fact!! i actually had a massive vampire phase a million years ago!!! like, during the Twilight/Vampire Diaries hayday, LOL. everything i wrote back then involved vampires. fanfiction, original fiction—role-play. yeah!!! your girl here used to role-play with other people online!!! i’ve written teenage-girl-stumbles-across-sexy-bad-boy-vampire-who’s-old-enough-to-be-her-great-great-great-grandfather tropes. vampire highschools, ala Vampire Knight. Vampire Secret Societies. name a trope and i probably wrote a half-assed outline for it!!! if they had sharp pointy teeth and were driven by uncontrollable bloodlust into sucking on someone they cared about’s neck then i was there!!!
i��m kinda all vamped-out these days… i much prefer my bloodlust to come in the form like, a favourite character’s head being bludgeoned-in with a rock or something, LOL. just normal, non-blood drinking violence. 🥹🪓🫀🩸 idk if i’ll ever (seriously) write a vampire!AU for BNHA—maybe more drabbles, randomly. but to me the magic of a vampire story came with like, pairing it up with teenage girlhood (including but not limited to the connotations of the whole, blood-drinking-in-the-place-of-sex thing). and idk! it’d be hard to pull that off in a x Reader without like, flattening whichever BNHA cast member we picked for the Lead. and i write (and read!) fanfic because i’m interested in them, in their complexities and lives and the things that stretch out after canon. idk!!! now that i’ve said that, watch me pull a iida/reader/tokoyami vampire!AU outta my backside. 😭
(that’s a joke; i don’t have time. 😔 but also… 🧐 you could do some pretty interesting things with a set up like that… Dark Shadow could be like, part of Tokoyami’s vampirism? And between DS and his mutation—the bird-like qualities—he has to live lowkey. 🧐 whereas Iida could be the “youngest” in a clan of regimental, powerful vampires that have successfully infiltrated the modern world with fearless business acumen… hmmm. MUCH to think about.)
#ofmermaidstories-asks#how can i talk about the magic of going into the massive Borders in the city and seeing a wall of Twilight?#that feeling when you’re in a bookstore and you’re young and you don’t have much control over anything in your life—#but for that one precious afternoon you are standing in front of a merticulous display of books#all with the same ghostly cover#and you have enough in the way of cash to choose something for yourself—#and here’s a story promising you a girl who’s maybe a little bit like you—#who doesn’t know her place in things#who moves to a new town and ends up stumbling into the adventure of a lifetime#Stephanie is not a perfect writer and no matter the criticisms i had and have of the books back then and as an adult#i will always love her and be indebted to her for giving me that moment#that promise of picking up that book and *knowing* it was going to take me away for a little while#and the overwhelming excitement that came with choosing it#i was going to make a joke in these tags like ‘if this ask kickstarts my twihard phase i will take u all down with me 🔪’ but#mostly it just leaves me overwhelmingly fond and nostalgic for that time#and the things i created in the wake of it#cue MCR’s vampire money for the closing credits of this lmfaoooo#kids don’t care if you’re alright honey! 🎶#pills don’t help but it sure is funny! 🎵#gimme gimme some of that vampire money!!! 🎶
