#8 --Deal--

OldLady: I said "use as fuel to fire". These are mine. Nightmare: I want them so much. What reason make you give me these books? OldLady: Who give you them…. OldLady: ( Wait. They will be more useful than for being burn.) OldLady: You, kid, want these books? Nightmare: Yes. OldLady: You want books. I want fuel for fire. If I have something instead of books, I don't need burning books. OldLady: Bring firewood to me. I don't burn these books as long as you bring firewood enough to me. OldLady: And bring money to me. I will exchange my book for your money. Nightmare: Mo-ne-y? OldLady: You don't know "money"…. OldLady: These are money, flat metals like them. Nightmare: Shining stones! I have them! OldLady: Sounds good. Bring them all to me. Nightmare: OK. OldLady: Don't forget collecting firewood.

It is not difficult to collect firewood for Nightmare because he lives in mountains. Nightmare: I collected firewood. Enough? OldLady: Hum. Enough for tonight. Nightmare: Don't burn books. OldLady: Bring firewood to me everyday or I will burn them because of lack of firewood. Nightmare ran to the world tree of emotion, grasped the money the attacker left and came back to the old lady as soon as possible. Nightmare: I brought Shining stones. OldLady: Show me…. OldLady: Too few! I don't exchange such a few money to my book. Nightmare: What!? I did bring money as you told to me! OldLady: Do you have something except money? Such as jewels or necklaces. Nightmare: Je-wel-s? Neck-lace?? OldLady: *sigh* Something like this. Brilliant clear stones. Nightmare: A glittering stone! I have them!

1 til 10 for the ace questions :)

Thanks, sweetie pie!

1 to 10. Alright!

1. Romantic orientation?

Probably aro but I wouldn’t disregard demi if I ever cared for someone more then a friend, just hasn’t happened.

2.Where in the spectrum do you fall in?

I ID as ace/aro.

3. Are you sex-repulsed?

Kind of? It depends on how its presented. If sexual advances are aimed toward me then yes I am. But if I’m reading or watching something, and I’m emotionally invested in the couple, I am not.

4. Thoughts on attraction (sexual or otherwise)?

I don’t really care…

5. Thoughts on the ace umbrella?

If it helps people feel comfortable about themselves to have IDs under it then its good.

6. Thoughts on crushes/squishes?

If people like them, good. I don’t really think about it.

7. Do you like cake?

Cake is love, cake is life.

8. Do you like cards?

Yeah? I play gin and 31 with my family when I visit them.

9. Favorite canon Ace characters?

Ling Chan from the Diviners by Libba Bray.

10. Headcanon any characters as ace?

A ton of characters from Discworld by Terry Pratchett; Susan sto Heit, Vimes, Sybil, Tiffany Aching…so many. Idk why, Prachett just writes…in a very a-spec way…not sure how to describe it.

[sxpositive]

which fictional character are you most like?

you know that irrelevant extra in the bg who clearly had no make up artist work on them? yep dat me.

random about me meme #314

Tagged by: @pr-scatterbrain / @dearparentheses

Rules: tag 9 people with excellent taste; erm... @emmaseasall @andriacrowjoy @stars-bean @visionshadows @destroyenjoy @journaling-junkie @elenajournals @allmyfriendsareballpointpens @dreamlabyrinth and of course anyone else interested in doing this meme.

Colours I’m currently wearing: Faded black and purple (altho the purple isn’t visible).

Last band t-shirt I bought: It has been many, many years since I bought a band t-shirt. It was maybe Dinosaur Jr? And I can’t even bear to listen to them now. So.

Last band I saw live: Cloud Cult.

Lipstick or chapstick: Neither. Aquaphor by Eucerin is about all I can wear on my lips without a reaction.

Last song I listened to: “Demons” by The National

Last movie I watched: I... don’t really watch movies anymore for some reason? I rewatched Amelie a year or two ago... And of course, it feels as if I’ve watched all the Marvel movies, lol!

Last three TV shows I watched: I don’t watch tv, either, but I suppose In the Room (the Pittsburgh Penguins) probably counts. Wheel of Fortune at my brother’s house. :blank:

Last three characters I identified with: Fictionalized Sidney Crosby. Bob Howard of The Laundry Files (up to a point! I am not possessed! Probably!), Jilly Coppercorn from Charles de Lint’s Newford series.

Books I’m reading right now: Abstract Painting: The Elements of Visual Language by Jane Davies - I took an abstract urban sketching class last week and everything I did was way more representational than I expected. The Masked City (The Invisible Library #2) by Genevieve Cogman - Enjoying the series so far, although it does remind me of a lot of other books, including the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazney. The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2017, edited by Sarah Vowell - I’m kind of stalled out on this one.

Revive booklr

Hi there!

I was tagged by @radiathereader

Thank you so much for tagging me ✨✨

Rules: If tagged, answer the original questions and either add to the list or delete some (if you’d like), then tag more people!

————————-

Which book are you currently reading? I’m currently reading Everything Leads To You by Nina Lacour, which I’m almost finished with and I absolutely love, and I’m also reading The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury, which I just started but really like so far

What’s the best beverage when reading?  Well, hot chocolate, tea or coffee. I love them all. Mostly hot chocolate though :)

What’s your favourite book quote? That’s difficult because I have lots of quotes that I love but I’ll go with

“Quick, make a wish. One, two, three, remake the world” from I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

What’s your Hogwarts house?  Slytherin

If you could get on a plane right now, where would you go? (Yes, fictional places are good as well. You could also travel via wardrobe/train/etc.) England, Japan, Denmark or Prague ♥

What’s your favourite holiday read? Percy Jackson and The Olympians by Rick Riordan and Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler (I always get in a middle grade mood during the summer)

Are there any books you want to recommend to the rest of us? There always are books that I think everyone will enjoy. I’ll specifically recommend Indiana Teller, Lunar Chronicles, the Inkworld Trilogy, Shatter Me and The Night Circus.

 What types of book covers do you find most aesthetically pleasing? Hmm...Well, mostly the ones that have stars and/or night skies in them, also the ones that have specific color palettes (black and white, shades of blue, shades of purple)

Favourite book you’ve read this year? Probably The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan to be honest :)

If you set yearly goals for yourself, how many books would you like to read in 2017? My goal is 40, it’s very small, considering that for 2016 I read 77 but the thing is that I’ll be very busy with school today

What book has been on your TBR the longest? Blood of Olympus. I just don’t want the series to end, okay?

Who are some of your book girlfriends and/or boyfriends? Grover Underwood, Magnus Bane, Prince Aaron, Axel Footprint, Prince Kai, Ze’ev Kesley, Carswell Thorne, Jacin Clay, Finnick Odair and more :)

Nightmare: Old lady…. Nightmare: Mask! Nightmare: Mittens! Nightmare: Shoes! Nightmare: I covered all of my body! Nightmare: Nobody will notice that I am the guardian of negative emotion!

[caramelhaller]

Firstly you’re awesome for sending me this (especially the first bit of the message haha) 

And i really like those names too, thank you for letting me know. I think i’m leaning towards Finn at this point so yeah :D (This ask is a reference to this post, for those wondering)

[stumblingoverchaos]

I was tagged by @bookmarksandbrushpens and @andriacrowjoy to do 10 Facts.

1. My first fandom was Star Trek TOS, but based on the James Blish episode novelizations because the show wasn't on our approved television list.

2. I use a lot of bright colors in my art, but my wardrobe is basically jeans, black tshirts, black Keen clogs/slides/slipons... and brightly colored handknit socks in the winter.

3. I used to drive a purple Escort station wagon.

4. I was diagnosed with celiac disease 21 years ago. Those were dark times to be gluten intolerant.

5. I have a basic book arts certificate from the Minnesota Center for Book Arts.

6. I have two very busy black cats - Chaos and Mayhem.

7. I recently acquired an Olivetti Underwood 19 portable manual typewriter.

8. Although I'm a decent typist, I have to two-finger type on this typewriter because my pinkies are too wimpy to hit their assigned keys hard enough.

9. I also recently acquired (for cheap at a thrift shop) a Penney's (yes, JCPenney's) toy typewriter from the late 1960s. It's in great shape, but horrible to use.

10. I love to take classes from Minneapolis Community Education and also from local and online arts organizations. I've taken classes to learn everything from French braiding my hair to pruning bonsai to mat pilates to writing a will.

Um, in a rare departure from my usual non-tagging, I'll tag @emmaseasall, @gilajames, @dreamlabyrinth, @visionshadows, @destroyenjoy, @kimmiesue13, and anyone else who'd like to give it a shot.

#5 --Treasure-- Man_A: Hey! Look. Man_A: The rumor that treasure boxes in the labyrinth is true. Man_A: What are in it!? Money!? Man_A: Swords.... Someone said they found jewels which are worth about 100,000G in the treasure box. Man_B: Don't mind. They are worth to sell and we'll have some money. Man_A: How about the treasure box in the deepest of the labyrinth? Legendary treasures will be in it. Man_B: Back off. The devil of the labyrinth guards it. We have already acquired some. We should leave before be killed. Why there are some treasures in the labyrinth. In truth, those are all things of attackers whom Nightmare killed. Money is not worth for him because nobody sell him anything.He cannot sell swords and armors because nobody want to buy them from him. The boxes in the labyrinth are Nightmare's storage boxes.

Nightmare: I don't mind anything about money and equipment in the boxes because those things are not worth for me. Nightmare: But, it's problem that they triggered my traps when they came in. Nightmare: It's not enough how many one-shot traps I set. Nightmare: A permanent trap or a trap that is reset automatically by itself…. People believe that the legendary treasures are in the stone box in the deepest of the labyrinth. They don't know the truth that some books are stored carefully in it. The books are "MATHEMATICS", "INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO PHYSICS", "THE BASICS OF ARCHITECTURE", "GUIDE TO GARDENING" and "FLUFFY BUNNY'S ADVENTURE - A SECRET LABYRINTH-", so nobody who come into this place will want them. Nightmare: I hope these books give me an idea. They have no worth for other people, however, they are more rare treasures than an amount of nuggets for Nightmare.
