i'm reading the witness for the dead for the second time and i can SEE the influence on my writing style
#the colour symbolism bro. i am a changed man#i also stole a phrase without realizing. but it's a little bit of a cliche anyway so that's okay#(smile described as 'sudden and dazzling')#also the way pel-thenhior is introduced is SO good. so so so good#simultaneously subtle and blindingly obvious that celehar is attracted to him. i aspire to be able to write like that#i feel like it's premature to say this is my favourite book considering im only reading it for the 2nd time now#and dont usually like to declare something a favourite until ive read it at least twice#but also. it's my favourite book#this is also more like the 2.5th time i'm reading it because after the first time i immediately went back and read large chunks of it again#personal#tin kitchen in the garret#bookposting

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!

Holiday Classics
Been thinking about Ford watching the 70s Animated Lord of the Rings Movies... (companion comic to this post!)
#the other two VHS tapes Fidd's is holding are Rankin-Bass' The Hobbit (1977) and Return of the King (1980)! The 70s animated pseudo-trilogy!#A lot of people pointed out on my other lotr 'crossover' post that Ford would have seen the 70s movies!#And i wont lie i entirely forgot they existed. But now i remember i have so many feelings on it okay. Ford my silly LOTR nerd#I dont think he would have seen Bashkis in theaters. far as I can tell it was a VERY limited (likely mostly CA) run in the middle of winter#but Rankin-Bass'? Aired on NBC & ABC. He absolutely woulda watched them or rented a VHS later. Which is why he's most excited by Bashki's#He's just such a nerd. I need him to nerd out. But also lowkey angst on how his single focus on bill/the portal lead#him to neglecting even the small things in life. Like knowing a VHS release of an adaptation of his favourite book series had come out#GF fanart#Gravity Falls#gravity falls comic#Fan art#fanart#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#young fiddleford mcgucket#*holds two random VHS tapes in one hand to check Fidd's pose in the 2nd panel makes sense* Well thats mathamatically feasible!#young stanford pines#stanford pines#ford pines#Book of Bill#comic#artists on tumblr#my art#Grunkle ford#fiddauthor#cause Fidds is not talking about the movie there. Well okay he's talking about the portal but He COULD BE TALKING ABOUT- *I am dragged off*

I love this book to death, so here's some things I noticed <3
#hyde being short is quite possibly my favourite thing ever#this isnt me jabbing at the takes that stray from the book#just btw XD#i think thats a big reason why i love it so much is that theres a WEALTH of inspiration that can be taken from the jekyll and hyde trope#theres so much out there i love#that being said#ive been buzzing about jekyll n Hyde recently because of this game that blindsided me with a jekyll n hyde trope#its always fun seeing it out in the wild#as seldom as that is LMAO#if anyones curious though its called vampire therapist and its a character named dr drayne#very cute and very fun game 💕💕#jekyll and hyde#the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde#dr jekyll#mr Hyde#also talking about blindsided by gothic lit blorbos#saw an animated Jekyll and hyde movie at the DOLLARSTORE for 5 smackaroos#easiest 5bucks i ever spent#literally the funniest shiy ive ever seen highly recommend watching it pals#its also on youtube for free and its in that so bad its good category for me

Back at it with my enchanted merthur shenanigans
#when Merlin goes to work#(I am undecided on what he does but I think he does have a job (probably a librarian I’d that’s not TOO cliche…))#he sets Arthur up with a bunch of history books and documentaries to try get him up to date (as much as he can)#and in the evenings they watch all Merlin’s favourite tv shows and movies#I can’t pick what kinds of movies Merlin and Arthur like#I get the feeling they both like pride and prejudice but I’m also biased#I think Arthur would like murder mysteries#ALSO If anyone’s got any fics where Merlin introduces Arthur to modern society please please PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME#my art#bbc merlin#merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur

Woah what’s this? Cheesus draws a background??
So I wanted to draw Burn and then it occurred to me I could draw a comic of the first book prologue cuz that’s honestly when she’s at her coolest.
I’ve never really drawn comic panels before so sorry if it looks weird.
I’m genuinely surprised I finished it - it took like 20 hrs for some reason.
Click for better quality n such
#anyway I love burn#she’s so slay#I also love drawing my design of her#also if anything looks weird I just tried to do perspective#like if burns body looks massive no it doesn’t#wings of fire#wof#wof burn#rip burn you would’ve hated gay people#wof hvitur#burn wof#wings of fire art#art#dragon#comic#I might do more comic panels of my favourite moments in the books#cheesus wof

I am back for a hot second with the baby! Let's be real, Geralt gets a lot of heat in this au, but I do think he was very clear about what he could and couldn't be for Jaskier when they started this thing. Listening to this song later, and realizing that Jaskier was already in love with him at this point ... uff. Also a song about sacrifices in this au, from Jaskier??? *chef's kiss* also let's not think about essi in this au let's not let's just ignore this
#jaskier#geraskier#geralt of rivia#the witcher#art#geraskier lovechild#omegaverse#I think this started out as 'helping Jaskier through his heats' and just escalated terribly#the part in the books with essi being in love with Geralt and Geralt feeling uncomfortable with it and realizing Yen probably feels the sam#about him#that still absolutely happens because at this point Geralt IS in love with Yen#to be fair I think he also starts to realise that he is in love with Jaskier too#they are both slipping there already#but Geralt doesn't want Jaskier to feel that way about him#my boy: a. has a very fragile heart b. has attachment issues c. doesn't think he can make Jaskier happy in the long run#and he IS insecure he warns Jaskier - but he doesn't think it could be more than a crush#oh boy are they messy#i love them :)#also Milek singing songs that accidentally punch Geralt in the gut is my favourite thing#ONE MORE THING. about this song and the pronouns?? EXCUSE ME?

I always personally thought that Sabo was a child that was actually rather academically gifted, he had a thirst for knowledge and was a genius at retaining information. The problem was he was never allowed to explore topics of his own interest, so when he ran away and started living on his own he started reading any and all books on whatever topic he could find in the Grey Terminal. And when he, Ace and Luffy teamed up they would steal from bookstores. (idk I feel like Goa wouldn't have libraries. I mean free knowledge?? in GOA??? nahh)
Of course this was a lot of books on sailing, making boats, wilderness survival in the Grandline and the sorts of things they would need to know as pirates. But he would also try snag books Ace and Luffy would love.
Getting Luffy to actually read a book willingly was impossible but Luffy being a bug boy, would point to every bug he finds and looked at Sabo like "WHATS THAT ONE!?" And Sabo having stolen a huge book of East Blue bugs will flip through and read to Luffy facts about the bug. and its the most excited they have ever seen him about a book. When Sabo got all his memories back he became a walking bug encyclopaedia. I think Ace would be against reading no matter how hard Sabo tried to pitch the stories to him. But Once Sabo was gone and there was a pile of books left in the treehouse to rot, he picked them up as a way of staying connected to his brother.
I think Ace would read a lot of fiction books but keep it rather secret, reading in the evening when Luffy already fell asleep. He wasn't at all very fast at reading at first having to sound out words like he was six, but as he finished one book, a favourite of Sabo's, he read another and another. He got better at spelling, grammar even his handwriting got a little neater. He grew out of fiction when he got older. but leaving reality for a moment to be someone else was something he really savoured when he was a teen. This also ended up saving him as a commander considering all the paperwork he would have to do and thank god his handwriting was at least legible.
#one piece#asl brothers#asl trio#monkey d. luffy#portgas d ace#revolutionary sabo#thoughts#head canons#Luffy likes listening to people read.#Sabo would yap about whatever he's reading and luffy would hear nothing#its why Luffy likes listening to Robin talk about her books. it reminds him of his brother and makes him happy#Sabo would also talk Ace's ear off about books. and while he would listen. Ace would call him cringe#“pirates in space? thats stupid” becomes his favourite book.#something something-a part of Aces outfit is a reference to one of Sabo's books#something something-Sabo cried#“YOU DICK YOU ARE JUST AS CRINGE AS ME”#they make me ill your honour#if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes suck my digital dick

why is lestat's turn of events more truthful than louis'?? like, no doubt about it that louis is an unreliable narrator. which he also does admit to himself, he is very aware that he is speaking from his perspective and he doesn't know everything and time does change memories and views of those memories.
but why do so many people in the fandom believe lestat over louis? why is he automatically more reliable and truthful than louis?
#i'm not just saying this because louis is my favourite. like yes he is unreliable that is true#but so is lestat and it's weird to not question HIS version of events#the show wants us to question the idea of memory and perspective and narrative and who is telling the story#just because the white character says something doesn't mean you should believe him and pity him#(also lestat is likely under mind control/tortured before the trial into condemning louis and claudia)#QUESTION EVERYTHING PLEASE#READ BOOKS AND ARTICLES ABOUT RACE IN GOTHIC LIT PLEASE#iwtv#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv s2 spoilers#amc iwtv season 2#tvc#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#amc iwtv#interview with the vampire season 2

city of heavenly fire is the tsc book if you think about it like it's so good. ended tmi with such a bang that it evaluated the series to new heights. wrapped up a six book series while setting up the next one, and on top of that incorporated the prequel and managed to do all three well. literally so many iconic and funny moments come from this book. also ended on a really hopeful note with the found family reuniting and being together after everything like 10/10. truly the cornerstone of this fandom.
#I love cohf & felt like yapping about it sorry#like one of my favourite characters dies in this book but Im not even mad about it really because it fit the story#also it's tsc so no one really dies lol#bella talks#tsc#the shadowhunter chronicles#city of heavenly fire#the mortal instruments#tmi

hey guys so my five year old nephew says that cass cain is the coolest batfam member. hate to burst the bubble of anybody who (wrongly) thought otherwise but he is an expert so i guess we'll all just have to accept it, sorry
#though he did clarify that whilst cass is the coolest dick is still his favourite#we read the new batgirl today and he loved it#we've actually never read batgirl together before which is weird because we talk about cass all the time#but anytime we read a different comic and she pops up he shouts 'cass cain batgirl!!'#which is much better than when nightwing shows up#in which case he will point at my laptop ((that nobody else can see)) and shout 'dick!! dick!!'#also introduced him to helena bertinelli today and he asked if we could read some of her soon#he has good taste in comic book characters#cass cain#batgirl
