A Psalm For The Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

I loved everything about this little book. When I first started seeing this cover online I didn't pay too much attention, until the day in which I heard a bit more about it. When I heard not only it's a cozy scifi but the main character is a tea monk I knew I had to have this. The story follows Sibling Dex, a tea monk living in a world where robots have left humans. After awakening robots had decided to leave humans and retreat into nature, and when the story of the book takes place the world has already moved on and readjusted to the change. In their travels Dex will meet a wild robot, and I won't add much more because I don't want to spoil the story. This book healed my soul, it gave me so much existential peace, it was the perfect thing to pick up right now. It's a comforting and calming story that brought me so much joy over simple things, I loved every second I spent with it. I cannot wait to read the sequel and I am sure I will be rereading this in the future. It made into the list of my comfort books. I highly recommend it to everyone, even if scifi isn't usually your thing, if you want to spend your time with a book that will warm your heart and make you smile this is what you should be reading.

Okay but the whole "you're just like Capitol citizens if you watch the hunger games for enjoyment" is such a bad take.

Enjoying the hunger games series doesn't mean you enjoy the cruelty of the Capitol. The hunger games is literally a beautiful story of tragedy, oppression, and loss, but also love, and rebellion, and a recreation of their world. A return of power to the people. It's a story with complex characters and relationships, and interesting and clever social commentary. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once.

The hunger games is a comfort story for me because seeing a girl who goes through so much trauma and tragedy in a damaged world change that world and be able to heal and live a happy life in the end is beautiful. Katniss is such a comfort character for me and one that has been dear to me since I was a child and will be dear to me for the rest of my life.

And not to mention that fiction is separate from reality. You can analyze and appreciate the social commentary that is the hunger games, while also thinking it is interesting and wanting to come up with quarter quell arena headcanons. Cause the hunger games aren't real, so dreaming up a story line isn't disrespectful cause no one actually died.

I do definitely see cases of people entirely missing the point of the hunger games, and I do find that to be very frustrating, but not every conversation surrounding it needs to be super serious like it was actually a real, tragic event. It's just not always that serious.

Pies and puddings fill the stores

Sweetly dream the night away

Till sunshine brings another day"

In a crazy reading explosion (that also prompted me to get back on Tumblr so I could loose myself among the other insane) Ive read the first seven Skulduggery Pleasant books in the span of three weeks.

Fortunately for my sanity, Im slowing down now.

But my point is, that these absolutely wild books still hold up far too well to be my "You arent allowed to read Harry Potter, read something else and make it your personality".

I remember a good amount of the plot, but that doesnt even matter.

I still friggin feel for these characters.

Ive had them live rent free in my head for literal years and now that Im discovering them again, they are still as cool and layered as they always were.

Anyways. I might be having an SP induced existential crisis about ever writing anything as good as that in my life.

Also.

Nefarian Serpine supremacy.

I dont care if he only ever appeared a few times.

Hes cool. Hes my childhood chosen villain. I absolutely will die on this hill. Darquesse is fine.

Serpine? Show stopping. Brilliant. Funny. Terrifying in the right way. We stan.

(This post is for me and for me alone. If anyone else reads this at all, I hope you have an amazing day. Read a book. Make yourself some tea. The world is good).

"Crush’ is too weak a word to describe how I feel. It doesn’t do you justice, but maybe it works for me. I am the one who is crushed. I’m crushed that we have only ever regarded each other as enemies. I’m crushed when the day ends and I haven’t said anything to you that isn’t cloaked in five layers of sarcasm."

Watching a yt video and the girl said that she didn’t like the “instant love” in Delilah Green doesn’t care and she just doesn’t get it. Like falling in love from the first hi is literally the sapphic experience. This is one of the books I’ll never take criticisms for.

rewatching, rereading, or reliving your comfort series and then finishing it is the worst feeling. you start off alright, happy to be back. it feels as if you’re coming home, but by the time you end it, it’s like you’re leaving home. it feels so completely wrong but you cannot change the fact that the story is nearing the end. it creates an ache in your chest, you automatically miss it and wish to go back.
