"(10) people Id like to know better" game

@anime-grimmy tagged me on my main (like weeks ago, sorry) but I'm not really active there so imma do it here and make you all subject to fun facts about me you didn't ask for. have fun <3

Last song: I don't know why but I've been thinking a lot about the movie "Pitch Perfect" recently and thus I've been listening to the Riff Off mix on repeat

If it was in any way realizable I'd brainstorm a South Park acapella AU especially since Cartman, Kenny and Butters canonically like singing. just imagine them with Pitch Perfect-esque drama

Last book: I'm currently reading "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt but I'm a slow SLOW reader because I always pick everything apart like I'm performing a medical dissection so I've been on it for a while and it isn't even halfway finished yet

Last movie: ... Pitch Perfect. watched it instead of studying

Last game: Life Is Strangeeeee my uni bestie got me into it and I HAVE TO WAIT TIL I SEE THEM AGAIN BC THEY WANNA WITNESS AS I PLAY MF I JUST FINISHED CHAPTER 2 AND I'M LOSING MY MIND

Last TV show: Arcane most notably but most recently Brooklyn 99 (as you probably all noticed.) initially I started watching it again to get inspired for Police Station environment references for Chaos Plan which is incredibly ironic because the b99 squad are all lovable dorks and the South Park PD are. not that.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: spicy... i'm a stereotype

Relationship: i have bitches upon bitches, one of them being @shroomerr

Fav colour: orange and green (i think my obsession with Kenny is making the orange upstage the year-long champion green, though)

Last internet search: "wann wurde das grundgesetz verfasst" (yeah I was going through something)

Tags: @shroomerr @alottodix @muttsterion 😁😁😁😁i'm not annoying 10 whole people but you guys shall fall victim

hi clari :3 i know this might sound kind of weird but do you have any book recommendations? i adore your writing style, it's really so so beautiful 🥹 i just wanna know if you have any favs! thank you, you can ignore this ask if you're not comfy answering it <3

hi sweetpea!! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) omg no it doesn’t sound weird at all!!! thank you so much for such an incredible compliment aaaah <33 you’re so lovely!!

i do have some favourite books! if we’re talking contemporary authors, i LOVE donna tartt and gillian flynn—issue is they both only have three novels published! my favourite tartt novel is the secret history, and my favourite flynn novel is sharp objects. if you’re looking for something trashy and fun that isn’t exactly well-written but is absolutely a blast to read, then give flowers in the attic a try (trigger warning for full-blood incest and noncon!!).

i also really, REALLY love fear and loathing in las vegas—i devoured it in a day and immediately re-read it i loved it so much. other than that, i seriously enjoy 19th century literature!!! the picture of dorian gray is my favourite novel OF ALL TIME, i love it to absolute bits. if you want some pseudocest, check out wuthering heights!! you will definitely see how catherine and heathcliff’s relationship is extremely similar to a lot of the relationship dynamics i write—it is extremely intense, extremely destructive, extremely toxic and extremely passionate.

hi lovely!! could I request stargaze for your summer bash! My favorite song is Goodnight and Go by Imogen Heap, and my favorite book is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. My gender preference is male & I am a part of the marauders & stranger things fandoms :)!

Hmm I wanna say James! Don't get me wrong the goldfinch is something that would probably be too heavy for him to enjoy along with you but he certainly wouldn't protest to you talking about it (and I think he'd get really interested over time, aside from just loving to hear you talk) but I think the vibes of go and goodnight suit him best!

𝐈𝐟 𝐈’𝐦 𝐒𝐨 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥

Hii I haven’t written anything in months so hopefully this isn’t like bad 

Plsss like and comment if ya wanna I love reading them and it's so motivating

And feedback is more than welcomed. 

Warings: This is like previous high school student x teachers kinda sorta reader was 18 when that was happening tho no smut yet but will be implied in the future. Panic attacks, Axe’s body spray. That’s all i think but if you recognize anymore lemme know pls!! 

Word count: 1.5k 

Summary: You're in love with your high school English teacher Wanda but at graduation she’s like I love you too but we can’t so then five years pass and you see her at a cafe with another red headed woman.

They say high school is a time of self-discovery, forming relationships that could last a lifetime, and navigating the endless possibilities of first experiences. For you, high school was wrapped up in the lunches you shared with Mrs.Wanda Maximoff, your 

12th-grade English teacher.

The unusual friendship started with a shared love for classic literature and a mutual understanding of feeling out of place. Mrs. Maximoff had a way of making Shakespeare's complicated content relatable and understandable by intertwining them with life lessons that resonated with you. 

She was different from other teachers. She was patient, helped you with your homework when you couldn't understand the difference between dependent and independent clauses, listened more than she spoke. When she did speak, her words were thoughtful and impactful, often leaving you to think long and hard after class had ended.

Your lunch sessions together started by accident, really. 

On a particularly busy day, when the crowded hallways were more overwhelming than usual, your anxiety was on the brink of turning into a full-blown panic attack. You found refuge in her classroom. Mrs. Maximoff was there, her eyes scanning over a copy of Donna Tartt's "The Secret History." She looked up, saw your distressed state, and, without a word, brought you into her embrace. 

The smell of her expensive perfume didn't burn your nose like the smell of Bath and Body Works, Axe cologne, and body odor in the hallways usually did. 

She calms you down using the softest voice you've ever heard. 

"You're doing so well, darling. Now tell me, what are three things you can smell?" 

"Your perfume,"  you answered. The strong feminine scent overwhelmed your senses in the best way possible. 

"Oh yeah, it does smell pretty good, doesn't it? You're doing so well for me, sweet girl." 

When you were finally calm, she shared her lunch with you. While eating, we talked about everything but schoolwork, music, movies, and favorite books and authors. It was the first time you truly felt seen and heard. 

These lunches became a part of your routine. Every day, you'd sit in her classroom during lunch hour, the chaos of the school melting away as we engage ourselves in conversation about anything and everything. 

There was a silent agreement to keep these lunches between us, our little secret.  

However, as weeks turned into months, your feelings toward Mrs. Maximoff began to change. It was initially subtle, a flutter of the heart when she smiled, a longing to be near her more than our lunches and class time allowed. 

When you realized these feelings you panicked. You knew that they were wrong but just couldn't help yourself. The tabooness of a student having romantic feelings for their teacher was probably the most exciting part about it. 

You fought with your conscience on a daily basis, constantly reminding yourself of the boundaries that should not be crossed, the rules that you both would be breaking, and how she could lose her job. But your heart didn't care. You wanted her, and you were determined to figure out if she wanted you as well. 

As spring transitioned into summer, your feelings continued to grow. Graduation was approaching, and you had made up your mind to express the feelings you had for Mrs. Maximoff on that day.

Graduation day was filled with excitement as students threw their graduation caps and rushed to their loved ones with their diplomas, but you were only interested in finding Mrs. Maximoff. You spotted her talking with someone's parents among the crowd of excited students. You began making your way toward her. The closer you got to her, the more your eyes met. She stopped talking to the parents and turned all her attention to you. Mrs. Maximoff reached out her hands to hold yours while whispering in your ear, 

"I'm so proud of you."  

"Thank you, Wanda," you uttered softly, the sound of her name sweet on your lips. 

When you look back at her face, you see her nose scrunch up the way it always does when she's blushing.With your heart beating out of your chest, you thought now would be as good a time as ever to proclaim your love to her. 

"Hey, Wanda, I need to tell you something," she can tell in your tone of voice that it's serious."

"Whatever it is, you can tell me," she reassures you with a concerned look in her eyes.

"This year has been amazing, the best year in school I've ever had, and I have you to thank for it. I think about that day when you saved me from the hallways all the time, and it was the best day of my life because I met you. As I got to know you, you became more than my 12th-grade English teacher, more than Mrs. Maximoff. I got to know Wanda, and it has been my biggest joy. I guess what I'm trying to say is. I love you, Wanda Maximoff." 

You finish your declaration with tears in your eyes, but Wanda's devastating look turns tears of joy and relief into tears of sadness.

"I love you too," she whispered back, her voice carrying a mixture of sorrow, excitement, and apprehension. "But you're about to start a new chapter of your life. College is not just about studying; it's also about experiencing new things, and I don't want to be the thing holding you back from doing that. I'm ten years older than you. I've had my fun, and now it's time for you to have yours, but please know that I enjoyed our time together just as much, if not more, than you did. Maybe if the circumstances were different, then we could have made this work, but we're just in different places in our lives right now."

Your heart sank. 

Though you knew she was right, you didn't want to hear that. The logical part of you agreed with her, but your heart didn't care. You longed to be with her.

"Okay, um, thank you. Bye," you mumbled tearfully while walking away. You could hear her call out for you, but you didn't have it in you to turn back. Embarrassed and  heartbroken, you left the graduation stadium, ready to experience all the "new things." She said you would hopefully find it. 

That was five years ago. 

Now, at your college graduation with a Master's in library science. All the memories from high school just came flooding back into your mind. You never stopped thinking about Wanda after that day. Every time you would sit by yourself in the campus cafe, you would often think about all the lunches the two of you shared together. 

You had received an offer to work in your high school's library after college, which made you ecstatic. You've always loved your high school's library. It's the best one you've ever visited. 

However, you're concerned about whether Wanda still works there. In the past five years, you haven't tried to look for or talk to her at all. 

You rented an apartment that would be closer to the school when it started in August. You decided to stop at the coffee shop where you would get your hot pumpkin spice latte, even in the summer months. You remembered when you would occasionally bring Wanda one as well. 

When you walked in you heard the familiar bell that would ring anytime someone walked in or out. After you order your drink you settle at a table near the window loving the view it offers. As you take in the scenery you hear a familiar laugh. That couldn't possibly be- You thought as you turned around. 

Your eyes met a sight that took your breath away. 

There was Wanda looking as gorgeous as ever just like she was five years ago. Her hair color hadn't changed; it was the auburn color of red you adored, even her laughter that was echoing throughout the cafe was the same. Across from her sat another redheaded woman, their fingers laced together, sharing a moment of what looked to be pure love and happiness. 

The sight filled you with mixed emotions. You were happy that she was happy, but you couldn't help but feel envy bubbling up inside you. That should be me. 

As you stood up to leave not even caring about how sweet the pumpkin spice flavor on your tongue would be. You hear her laughter subsided. Wanda's gaze wandered and locked with yours. For a brief moment, time stood still, and memories rushed back. 

A smile, warm and understanding, on her lips as she gave a small wave. You go to wave back, but you're paralyzed. Unable to move or breathe. The only thing that brings you back is the sound of your name being called. “Y/n…Pumpkin spice latte hot?" The barista called out. 

"Y- yes, that's me." You replied quickly, grabbing your coffee and practically running out of there. 

You couldn't believe you just saw her again and in the midst of self-patronizing for not waving back and standing there like a deer in headlights. You had one thought. 

Who is that woman?

*at Donna Tartt's window* *breathing hard* I just wanna talk.

[creepling]

🍄: what was your very first fandom? Did it inspire you to write or did that come later? When did your passion for art start and what artist/writer was most influential for you?

hello shroomie!!

ugh man my first fandom was one direction, can’t deny that. i was big on harry potter, narnia, percy jackson too but didn’t discover the fandoms until i was using the internet at like 12.

then it was hp, etc that got me into fanfiction writing (weirdly enough never read 1D fics when i loved them, probs bc i was young and not online). i was always writing tho; i learned how to write before i could talk so it was always a way for me to express myself.

my passion for art was always with me too. my dream job as a child was to be an actor, and that lasted up until i was 17. but i was always writing and got into script writing when i was 16, and one day i woke up and decided i wanted to be a writer instead. now i implement all those things when im making short films which is so fun.

god i just get inspired by everything. and it’s cringe to say but i wanted to be like jk rowling when i was 13, then i grew up and realised she was a shit writer along with being a shit human being. when i branched out of YA i began to find way more writers that inspired me, that made me think “i wanna write like this”; those being the likes of james baldwin, shirley jackson, donna tartt. for film david fincher is so fucking inspiring, his style blows me away i love it sm. and as much as i don’t like him now; tarantino’s scripts taught me sm about how to build tension and write engaging dialogue so i must pay my dues there. oh, and lynne ramsey; i resonate with the nihilistic tone of her work and that influenced me sm.

examining pippa and her relationship with theo through her end of book letter, part 2

you can read part 1 here: https://heterodickpaper.tumblr.com/post/674762422337323008/examining-pippa-her-relationship-with-the

so hopefully everything about pippa and her feelings for theo makes sense, but something was still bothering me about her letter. this is the thing theo has purportedly been longing for his entire life. why is it only discussed for a page, and not brought up again? i had a few ideas about this as well, which were the following:

theo recognizes that she’s right that they could never work out, and having emotionally matured decides not to waste more pining energy than necessary

theo doesn’t have any more pining energy to direct toward her, having allocated it all to boris

he refuses to accept that she’s right and so avoids talking about it to try and un-canon it

so at first 1 seemed the most likely, but while i think it’s partly true, other parts just don’t line up right. for example: emotionally matured who? he’s traveling the world through hotels, completely anchorless. he’s living in liminal spaces! if that’s not a metaphor for not having gotten complete closure/reached the end of his emotional journey i don’t know what is. another thing is that theo does understand pippa’s reasoning--he came to the same conclusion earlier in the book. he has a page long admission that his love for her is messed up and rooted in the loss of his mother, even if it’s branched off (or could branch off) into something else more organic. but theo being theo, i would have expected at least two paragraphs of yearning and/or sulking and/or self-pity-induced substance abuse. but nope. he tells us everything about what happened with her & her letter in a page, and in brackets (weird, cause this is like, A Big Deal!! and what, it’s a side note? after 700 pages of telling us you love her more than anyone in the world? i will get to discussing this too). and that’s the only time in the whole final chapter that she’s mentioned except for a single sentence near the end in the context of some long-winded life philosophy. and although i personally like option 2, it’s not the focus of this essay (rant? i’m not sure this deserves the title “essay”).

so onto option 3: he spends so little time on pippa and the letter because he’s worried that if he thinks about it too much, he’ll have to fully accept the impossibility of their relationship--something that despite his earlier confession, he clearly hasn’t done. that explains the brackets too--he’s trying to minimize the impact of what she said, which he also does by introducing it with “as for pippa:”. like, “as for pippa: in case you were wondering about the girl i’ve been infatuated with for this whole entire book. i mean i don’t really care but i mean if you reaaaaally wanna know i guess i’ll tell you.” he does this a lot throughout the book, since he’s writing it as one--maybe most notably around anything with even remotely gay undertones. he delivers only the barest facts, trivializes them, and then moves right along in hopes that the reader will too (i won’t.)

the part right after this seems to confirm that theo is still in denial. i read it so many times and it aggravated me so much (i should have known by then that means my frst impression was wrong). after telling us all the reasons why a relationship between them couldn’t work, theo basically says “fuck that! why don’t i go to london anyway?” my first thought was that ms tartt was trying for a grand romantic thing, but that wouldn’t make any sense! the book isn’t centered around romance, and the romance in the book is never romance in of itself--it’s always a mechanism that provides insight into theo’s character and motivations. so keeping that and the fact that theo is a highly unreliable narrator in mind, the idea that he might go to london makes more sense. it’s framed as some whirlwind fantasy not because donna tartt wants it to be one, but because theo does, and he’s the one who decides how things are depicted, whether that’s how they really are or not (in this case, not).

theo hammers the fact that he loves pippa into every interaction with her, but he never considers that maybe she doesn’t want to try being with him. she’s in a healthy relationship with someone who can support her, she has a new life--theo just can’t imagine that she’s not stuck in the past the way he is. and though he rationalizes what would be a terrible choice by assuring us he really doesn’t care about being “Dragged Down,” he doesn’t consider that maybe she does. (sidebar: this also supports my prev point about his not really knowing pippa--despite his love for her there’s lots about her that’s clear to us as the reader but not to him). and based on pippa’s (admittedly minimal) characterization, i don’t think she would consider it worth the pain and backwards progress to be with him. this also makes it clear how self-absorbed theo is--not that he doesn’t have reasonable cause to be in a bad mental place, but he’s definitely not in the right state to be in a relationship with someone just as traumatized as him, despite his thought that maybe he can “be the strong one.” remember, he’s living in hotels! he’s gotten closure with the painting, but he’s in a transitory state, approaching a fork in the road. we don’t know if he’ll really start to move on/heal or if he’ll turn back like he’s done in the past. my opinion is that to really move on, he needs to move on from pippa entirely (and he did almost do this, with kitsey, but as i said here the only reason he was able to do that was because he wasn’t emotionally attached to kitsey, so it was easier to “move on” because that relationship didn’t require that he relinquish his desire for pippa.)--because of the origins of his infatuation with her, to hold on to her is to hold onto his mother and the museum. like the goldfinch itself, his feelings for her are a representation of his trauma. i don’t think he could ever really have a normal relationship with pippa unless he turns all the way around and does some serious healing & confrontation of his issues. he doesn’t want us to think that, though, hence the brackets and quick moving on. so here’s my interpretation of what the letter passage means: theo knows that pippa is right, and that a relationship between them couldn’t work. however, he’s not (yet) at a place where he can accept that.

honestly i would love to read a fic where theo does go to london and pippa shuts him down & also tells him she can’t support him and then he moves on for real. with boris. or like a going to london for pippa and everett’s wedding fic. anyway if you made it all the way through thank you!! you are my favorite person. let me know what you think, especially if you disagree, and feel free to dm me any time! as you can probably tell i love talking abt tgf.

[otrtbs]

Here again, contributing to your 200+ asks. Sorry, I've should be commenting on AO3 but I don't know if I want to open an account.

So... I reached chapter 20. I know, I know, I said it should take me a week or so but I'm a binge reader and THIS IS SO GOOD (also, I'm avoiding life, so... *shrugs*).

My highlights:

1. The date. James bloody Potter. He is in the middle of a fucking heist planning and he still have the time, energy and guts to plan that beautiful date. And of course Regulus give in. How could he not?

2. Lucius Malfoy is a piece of shit I every universe. It's my HC and I'll stand by it till the end.

3. I can't ride a bike either, James and I have that in common.

4. Your favorite chapter so far is my favorite chapter so far as well.

5. Now I have to read Donna Tartt because of you. Could you recommend me where to start? Which book?

6. Regulus breaking apart (because of James of because of Sirius) just break my heart in an special, painfully way. You really write him so beautifully.

7. I LOVE the idea of a jilted/Jilters club. And thank god for Marlene fucking Mackinnon for ever.

And this is getting too long, so last thing: I almost couldn't breath reading the Sirius/Regulus confessions. I wanna hug them both so tight (Trgulus first, of course).

Thank you thank you thank you again.

And fuck the haters.

ahh hello! so fair you don't want to open an ao3 account

i would give in so fast if i was regulus to hahaha that was so real of him ,,,, also yeeahhh Lucius isn't it,,, at all,,,

OKAY OKAY OKAY DONNA TARTT LET'S TALK DONNA TARTT

The Secret History is the book that most people seem to read and enjoy. That's where the Donna Tartt quote in Art Heist comes from. If you like dark academia, pretentious boarding school students, and murder this is your book! (I've read it and thoroughly enjoyed it)

BUT

The Goldfinch is my favourite book of all time ever. I have never loved a book more. It's more hit or miss. People either love it or hate it. I love it!! The Goldfinch follows a young boy, Theodore Decker from adolescence to his mid thirties while he navigates life with a stolen painting from the MET. There's art and museums and grey amsterdam and glitzy, sleazy vegas, and antique restoration, and new york city and it is so wonderful.

The Little Friend is good too, I just don't recommend starting with it!

Sirius and Regulus make me cry bc it's so clear that they both love each other so much but there's so much in the way :((((

AHHH THANK YOU <3333

[watermelon-eater]

maybe its time to make a proper introduction

hey hi welcome to my blog! my name is zen (i also go by nautilus or my indonesian name laskar) and i use he/him pronouns and a couple of neopronouns . i like breaking bad, better call saul, homestuck, and donna tartt books to name a few. these are topics that i will frequently reblog/post about. feel free to DM if you wanna talk about these topics with me, but be aware that i rarely check tumblr DMs anymore.

now before you follow i have d/a's with karkat, mituna, jesse pinkman, and certain cats, and i'll have to kindly ask doubles not to interact with my posts/reblogs related to them (or at least not to tag as kin if you do). i also tag weirdly sometimes, but you can ask me to trigger tag anything. i don't use "tw" before trigger tagging things, i only put the name of the trigger (ex. #emeto).

TERFS ARE NOT WELCOME!!! PLEASE STAY THE FUCK AWAY. other than that youre basically free to follow but i do try and check everyone who follows me, so if i see anything suspicious or just something i just really dont like i will block you. dont take it personally.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that Once & Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy has a neopronoun user and other lgbt representation in it. (Ace character and more!) (also poc rep?)

It’s been a while since I’ve read it so I don’t remember everything.

I believe it is a scifi take of the tale of King Arthur.

oh I had a discord server that was talking about that recently! I don't read books a lot, and I have like 4 already on my reading list currently (Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller) (that's not even including the fact that I bought a super pretty but super expensive copy of Dune the other day and I wanna read that at some point too) so I'm not letting myself get anymore books until I get through those lol

but thank you for the rec! everyone go check it out!
