Wanna know something odd. I pretty much refuse to read fanfics with a word count over 5,000 and yet Ill then around and read a whole book in one day. Hm I think Im a hypocrite :3
#like I literally read 4 books already this year and Im in the middle of my fifth#im in the opposite of a book slump atm#lets goo#I was in a book slump for like a full year#because of the goldfinch#good book#but I dnfed it#just not enough happening for me ig#and then I started reading babbel#dnfed that too#I probably would have like it better if I understood more of the words being said#like i was 14#like I enjoyed the concept a lot#just couldnt get into it#maybe Ill retry when Im older#fanfic#book#bookblr#im slowly becoming a book blogger#and dead plate#hng

broke: fangs of fortune is a trash of a cdrama with poor story writing, little focus on CP, the only thing redeeming is the aesthetics
woke: fangs of fortune is a story about myth and legend, how its editing, colour grading, costuming and aesthetic choices provide a sense that the characters are constantly living in a dream as it proposes that many myths are—dreamlike and where things are just are because people believe in them, things get incoherent, and with said characters developing relationships with each other that intrigue the heavens, all while challenging the traditional tropes of love and fate
bespoke: fangs of fortune is a once in a lifetime moving picture art form that compels the audience to suspend their belief of reality to follow the story, making them feel as though they are submerged in a long dream with the characters. it is only when the story ends, that we wake back up to reality. did everything really happen?
#fangs of fortune#cdrama#I have never seen another series especially in cdrama land#where audiences so readily throw away and suspend the belief of reality#just to follow through til the end#if this were in any other genre I think the majority of us would have dnfed#the shenmo genre really helps#FoF feels like a fever dream#I think many people have mentioned#I agree and kept thinking about it#and wow the reasoning is so meta#more meta than I can ever write

the way they’re always celebrating each other’s achievements, whether they both did well or just one of them. but when it’s both of them up there <3

#help me i’m having an insane#piarles#the way it doesn’t matter whether they both did well or just one of them they’re gonna be happy for each other anyway#I think that’s one of the most special things#because yeah it’s easy to be happy if you’re both having a good day but they way they’ll celebrate the other person#even if they themselves have had a shit race or dnfed#THATS what supporting each other is#and it’s so ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#pierre gasly#charles leclerc#f1#anyway I need the podium. So bad.

every time i am forced to think about acotar against my will i remember when feyre goes to Mind Control Land to spend time with Mr. Evil Mind Control and then when tamlin and lucien are like "maybe you're a little mind controlled :/" she goes freakin ballistic
#anti sjm#yet another time this would have been a cool concept if ms maas could just actually do something interesting with it#as an aside#enough ya books that are like “everyone mistrusts the mind control people :(” maybe you SHOULD mistrust the mind control people#considering they can MIND CONTROL YOU#but like... feyre overcoming mind control would have been a much cooler arc than whatever happened in acomaf (i dnfed it it was boring)

it’s so frustrating knowing daniel always take accountability for his mistakes and immediately apologizes to the drivers then you see people like lance doing this to him
#i will never forget how he went straight to sainz after they both dnfed to apologize to him and lance won’t have the balls to even-#shut the fuck up#if i were daniel I’d literally start throwing punches

things I am learning about myself: I am a much better wife when I’m reading a book I don’t care for very much
#reading mansfield park and hating it? EXCELLENT wife.#paying so much attention to my husband! taking care of business in the apartment! cooking AND baking!#reading Emma? distracted. lying in bed with the book ignoring my husband. barely making enough food to stay alive.#reading the book I just DNFed about the miserable little mercenary love triangle? GREAT wife.#asking my husband questions about his book. meal-planning. going for walks.#rereading Goblin Emperor to make up for the horrible book? TERRIBLE WIFE#still reading when my husband has put his book away. serving leftovers for dinner. only exercise is lugging the book everywhere#(this post is tongue in cheek. my husband can fend for himself when I get into a book. and I served leftovers because we needed to eat them#in which cate tells stories

do people like. actually enjoy reading fics with caricaturised antagonists. and this isnt even just abt jiang cheng ive seen it done with jgy, wen ruohan, jgs, even lan xichen isn't immune to it. im talking like, spewing the most senseless stuff that barely even makes logical sense to them in the context of the fic, let alone in canon. it's so?? weird to read?? u can just like, have a regular antagonist you know. they don't have to have outlandishly evil speeches or monologues or plans. they can just like, be a dick.
#eve speaks#does this make sense#idk#i dnfed a fic that i enjoyed about 60% of right at the end bc of this#like the caricaturisation of one of the characters was just.. weird? and out of place?#the setup wasn't even that outlandishly evil its just like in the last chapter or two they decided that#the characters involved all took the worst bad faith interpretation of the situation THAT EVERYONE CONSENTED TO#THE FULL SITUATION EVEN. THEY ALL BARGAINED AND CONSENTED TO. BASICALLY THE WHOLE SITUATION.#and then made one of them outlandishly dickish about it /for no reason/#im not going to say what fic im not putting it on blast#again i also enjoyed a lot of it#except the strange emphasis on. well. talisman use emulating modern technology. that one always bothers me ngl but i can look past it#also it kinda lost me at other stuff i think it wanted to be three different stories and lost cohesion#like i dont CARE if you want to make one of the characters cartoonishly bad#but at least make it make sense?????#surely that's not too hard??

I hope Mclaren strategists know that this is who they gave their weak ass strategies to. They really gave their bad strategies to these two kids, can you imagine? One of them just turned 1 year old yesterday and today they give him a flop strategy and the other was on his way to get another podium but lost it because of their silly strategy. How could mclaren strategists do this to these two innocent kids???? Sick and twisted zak brown how are you going to answer this
#mclaren#guys tell me is this how it feels to be a ferrari fan#to see your pookies with their good cars getting fucked by clown strategists#this post is inspired by the one post made by tumblr user karlmaxverstappen after max dnfed in the Australian gp a few days ago ngkfkd#also funny thing while i was searching Pinterest for baby pictures of oscar and it only showed me his current photos and that's very tellin#lando norris#oscar piastri

A part of my soul dies everytime I read a satosugu ‘fix it’ and the twins are still dead 😭
#ESPECIALLY when geto doesn’t even acknowledge them like???? that’s his kids#I just immediately dnfed one that killed the twins so they could redeem geto. I just cannot deal with that whatsoever#jjk#satosugu#mimiko hasaba#nanako hasaba#I just want them to have a better ending so bad is that too much to ask?

2010 Australian Grand Prix - Jenson Button(ft. Robert Kubica & Felipe Massa)
#this was genuinely a race of attrition in the back. 10/24 cars dnfed and i think all but 2 were technical problems#this was a really exciting race tbh i really had no clue what the podium would be#its weird cause i knew seb mark and nando didnt win it but i was so confused how they were gonna lose it? and then it was like OH JENSE OFC#jense was incredible in this race ah what a comeback#everyone thought he made a huge mistake switching to slicks so early on and then it turned out he was the strat goat#and it makes it better cause it wasnt even a call from the team! it was literally his call!!#as we all know hes a god in the wet and it was so admirable and brave of him to make such a bold call for himself and have it work out#the way he has such dominance and performance in wet races(ex canada 2011) is forever so impressive and cool to me#also!!! this race really proves to me why rly i like 2010. really close racing BUT ALSO:#its so sick that both nando and jense won their first/second race with their new team against their teammates who have been there longer#like to have both of them win with the same prestige is so satisying and emotional for me#and god i got flashbacks to aus 2009 seeing him standing on the car. its cool he won melbourne back to back#but also. this post race honestly sucked. bad tv direction bad lighting(not in their control tbf) i felt like they showed nothing well ah :#tho my fav gif is where felipe is standing on his tippy toes and jense bends down sjakjf#jenson button#robert kubica#felipe massa#f1#formula 1#2010 australian gp#we do a little bit of f1

There are two wolves inside me: one that thinks I should dnf any book I don't like because it is a waste of my time to not read something I enjoy, the other wolf wants to finish the book so that I can be a well informed hater
#somehow the latter wolf usually wins#it's also that if i want to dnf a book it usually happens 20-30% of the way in#if it's past that sunk cost fallcy sets in and i gotta finish it#i was reading reviews of this book I'm not enjoying and one said they dnfed 84% of the way in i can't conceive of that#this book was also recommended to me which also kind of forces me to finish it bc they're gonna ask why i didn't like it#so i feel i gotta have given it a full shot#books#reading
