nobody is more delusional than reddie fans. somehow, the ENTIRE fandom decided that eddie kaspbrak is alive and well, despite the fact that his death was written in the novel almost 40 years ago, and i hardly ever see reddie content/it content awknoleging that eddie is dead. we all just pretend that never happened.

#it #it stephen king #it 2017 #it 2019 #reddie #eddie kaspbrak #richie tozier #eddie kaspbrak is one of my favorite characters ever tho so i get it #i never talk about it on here even though i love it #i’m gonna reread the book even though its over 1150 pages long #stephen king

Little bright colored outfit with a fun vest ~

(shoes from ebay like 10 years ago. everything else is thrifted)

#ootd #jfashion #fashion #fantasy fashion #mori kei #....like... adjacent... lol #no idea what style this would be lol.. makes me think of like whimsical vaguely fantasy themed childrens book character #finally posting one of my aforementioned seven million drafts of actual outfits and costumes i have finished and edited #the photos for but just never feel like posting lol..#I need to find one of those people whos like 'omg i am ADDICTED to social media ugh i wish i could get off of it #im just browsing and posting like 60 times a daaaaay!!!' and take a little magical bottle and suck some of the social media #enthusiasim out of them. for moi. In exchange they can have some of my 'literally just never in the mood to post or interact with the #outside world ever' energy. We can balance each other. huzzah and so on #Though I think maybe it's part of the general thing I've heard of like.. I can't remember if it was in reference to adhd or just some sort #of general execcutive functioning issue type of thing - but the idea that things have to be ''just right'' before you do something. like #'oh i need to do this task. but i have to wait until XYZ first' or 'oh i can do this but only if X specific condition is met' or etc #The fact that I even have to be in a Specific Mindset to post. or sometimes will delay posting on social media because like 'oh well #I'm going somewhere tomorrow. somehow this matters. i cannot spend 5 minuts posting TONIGHT. clearly it will interfere #somehow schedule wise with the doctor appointment i have 15 hours from now. yes. yes. i must wait until my appointment is over #tomorrow afternoon. THEN i shall post' or etc. etc. lol. NOT even taking into account the many days #I just genuinely and physically sick and it's not even a mental thing. I just physically dont feel like sitting at the computer lol..#ANYWAY.. trying to get back into it. trying to get a business bank account.. make a proper paypal so i can start selling sculptures again.#selling clothes and sculptures.. posting about such things then of course as one must. etc... chanting to hype up and motivate myself lol #But yes. this is my favorite outfit out of the bunch so I am posting it first I guess.. maybe others later..#Also the purple dress says its from shein. which I've heard is bad fast fashion stuff. but maybe okay since its second hand? I havent #been to the bins since like 2020 or late 2019 even. and I think stuff like shein and temu has only become poular in the past few years #but I bet if I went to the bins now I might would find a good handfull of that stuff. Probably now not much different than what you #find in a walmart or a forever 21 or actual physical stores you can go to though. I hear quality of clothing is down everywhere no matter #where you get it or whatnot. What bountiful joys unfettered capitalism and exploitation bestows upon us (<being sarcastic).#Wearing one of my favorite little vests though. I love the texture of it and the clasps on it

saw these going around and i wanted to try it so here u go! i chose strictly from books only, tho if any of yall want to do it don't feel constrained! i had to or i'd never narrow it down to 10 :|

#tho tbh i struggled to come up with ten #it made me realize i don't really latch onto characters the way i did when i was younger #most of these are from books i first read 8+ years ago #the most recent one (goblin emperor) i first read in 2019-2020 #ah well. something something how fast the night changes #tho i did think i should do a separate poll for my favorite Maligned Female Characters als;gh

Various covers of Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (formerly/alternatively titled Mistborn: The Final Empire)

left to right, top to bottom:

1) 1st edition hardback

2) 2nd edition mass market paperback

3) cover from when the book was rebranded as YA instead of adult

4) 2019 mass market paperback

5) UK cover

6) Croatian cover

7) Chinese cover

8) new US cover (2023)

#this isn’t even close to all of them btw #the YA cover is my favorite #2nd edition mass market paperback is the one my library had and that I first read #2019 paperback is my least favorite of these it’s so boring #you should look up the 1st edition paperback tho because that one is HIDEOUS #anyway #would love to hear your thoughts #brandon sanderson #brandon sanderson books #cosmere #mistborn #Mistborn trilogy #book cover design #book covers #art school #light academia

talking to new people again is making me realize that (this is gonna sound dramatic) i haven't lived in five years but what i have done is watch a lot of movies and read a bunch of books and believe it or not that actually makes me an interesting conversationalist in some ways (?)

#and like i say: brf slt #they don't know i'm crazy and as long as you're normal about it having seen a lot of movies just makes you come off as someone who's like #interested in culture i guess. which i am. but it's fun #and the books thing too and also knowing a lot about sociology #i have things to say jokes to make so in two months they haven't even realized i haven't lived a life yet🙏#i didn't even do it on purpose the way it happened is in 2019 i was very depressed suicidal etc then i got better but i was focused on #like...idk. basically getting used to being okay with being alive again? then it was 2020 and we didn't have classes in person full time #until september 2021. that's how it was for university students here. i did hang out with people but no one i LOVED or actually became #close with and it's true that i could have tried harder but i didn't because guys i love being by myself😭😭😭#then three years went by and now we're here. it's fine it's just that i don't have a lot of anecdotes that aren't old because LITERALLY #nothing has happened to me. nothing #that's not true i did talk about something semi-recent to my bff on friday it was about my 'friends' who hated on everyone the same way i #did when i was literally 12 and about how anxiety inducing it was because after a while i was like is this how they talk about me when i'm #not around🤨 i actually talked about that then. january or february 2023 #this has been in my drafts for a week and i talked about the post i talk about in that last tag last week when i talked about my mutual who #blocked me that's the post she replied to to give me advice😔#also it's funny i said they don't know i'm crazy and a guy asked me what my favorite tv shows were and i don't know why i actually gave him #my full list like it's funny because like i said they think i like like good movies and good television and interesting books and stuff #and i know the shows i told him made him reassess that (which is fine but it's just funny) and also i told him i'm watching gilmore girls #for the 18th time and he was like you're joking i was like hm...and then he was like no you're being serious because it's way too #precise...and THAT i could have not told him. i was like whyyy did i tell him that...but it's fine #HE HADN'T EVEN HEARD OF SUCCESSION? 34-year-olds...#i mentioned the sopranos a couple weeks ago and my future bff was like what is that and i was like ? then i asked two more people and they #didn't know the show either so i was like i'll ask him (34-year-old) i know he'll know the sopranos and he was like OBVIOUSLY i know #the sopranos it's supposed to be one of the best shows of all time and later i asked if he had seen succession and he'd never even heard of #it? crazy. i mean if it had been anyone else i wouldn't have thought it was crazy but i expected HIM to know succession

A few rough sketches for a project I hope to work on in 2024. I started a few ideas with this character back in 2019 and never finished them, and decided it would be a manga eventually back in April of this year.

It has been a while since I worked on a werewolf project! That will change soon. Connie and her werewolf form are now properly designed, so once I finish the Myrios Series illustration set I can begin to work on this new manga, and work on the plot in the meantime.

Brain worms in the tags

#qsmp #thinking abt a pet sematary style au #where Wilbur is Louis and Tallulah is Gage (or I guess more like Ellie in the 2019 remake)#Philza is basically Jud with a mix of a few other characters and Chaynne is the book version of Ellie (requisite psychic child)#and the plot is Wilbur decides to move to Quesadilla Island with Tallulah to settle down + try to be closer to his estranged dad #when Phil is telling him abt the island he mentions the strange graveyard and a legend abt a demon named Cucurucho #and wil is just like ‘uh huh sure ok’ until Tallulah’s beloved pet turtle Augustín dies #wil reasons that he could pick up literally any turtle and nobody would know the difference #but he feels strangely drawn to see if the graveyard can really bring back the dead #and it works! sure the turtle smells kinda weird and keeps biting people but it’s fine!#and then wil learns why it’s a fucking terrible idea to leave a young child unsupervised on a three story high balcony actually #Phil warns him that sometimes dead is better but he just can’t handle it so it’s ~grave robbing time!~#and the resurrection seems to work at first since Tallulah is living and breathing again #but she’s not the same sweet little petal that went into that grave…#*gripping you by the shoulders* do you see my vision #idk pet sematary is one of my favorite novels I gotta read it again

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

Thanks for asking! I have a lot of favorites but narrowing them down to ten will be a challenge. I will try though!

Top 10

Ten: Howl's Moving Castle (Book)

Nine: The Lion King (2019) (Movie)

Eight: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (Anime)

Seven: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz (Anime Movie)

Five: Heaven Official's Blessing/TGCF (Donghua/Anime)

Four: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/MDZS (Donghua/Danmei)

Three: Naruto/Shippuden (Manga/Anime)

Two: The Hobbit (Book)

One: The Lion King (1994) (Movie)

Number one may be of shock but it was the first movie I remember loving as a kid, and even now, I can watch it in different languages and STILL understand what is going on purely from memory! Now I also didn't include My Hero Academia in this, although I have been obsessed with it lately, and that is purely because I actually have not read or watched it yet! I have gotten my knowledge and love for it through osmosis and fervent research!

Gundam Wing was the first anime that I fell in love with, and Endless Waltz was the first anime movie I watched and bought. Naruto/Shippuden was my first obsession, and the source material for my first fanon Yaoi ship.

The Hobbit was my first full-length novel. I read it in the 4th grade, and after taking a test on it, I got 17/20 questions right, which was a surprise for my teachers!

MDZS and TGCF are the first Danmei/Donghua I got into, and that was literally about 6 months ago!

There are plenty of other media I like. The Magic School Bus was my favorite cartoon growing up. Then there is Emergency (circa 1970's). I like the Alien franchise a lot. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is another anime I love. I am also a big fan of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives from the Food Network. Card Captor Sakura is good to watch. There are countless others, the ones I listed are simply the most influential ones to the person I am now.

Tell me, what are your faves?

#Favorite media #Top Ten List #Shocker!#TLK (2019)#TLK (1994)#Gundam Wing #GW Endless Waltz #Naruto #Naruto Shippuden #Howl's Moving Castle (Book)#The Hobbit (Book)#Questions #Answers

Finally finished the book I’ve been trudging through for over a year!!!

#I do not dnf books especially since I was like over halfway through it #I had seen this book while working at the store in 2019 and thought it sounded interesting #got it for Christmas that year didn’t have time to get around to until last summer #I have a basic understanding of how music works and whatnot but this was just so dense and boring #the book could’ve been 100-200 (maybe even more) pages shorter if the interlude things weren’t included #I just felt like he rambled on so so much and like clearly the editors got tired because there are a handful of errors throughout out it #I think my favorite error is referring to ‘You Belong With Me’ as ‘You Belong To Me’ in the glossary #like he also mentioned Pandora a lot because he helped create stuff for it and it was like we get you think pandora is great #anyway going to do a poll to help me decide what to read next!

The book cover for this book:

The elusive Pimpernel returns for another swashbuckling adventure in El Dorado. The still-raging French Revolution continues to claim lives, and the shadow of the guillotine draws ever nearer to the young Dauphin, son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. No one dares to attempt to liberate the little prince — no one, that is, but the mysterious Sir Percy Blakeney, also known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Sir Percy takes on one of Robespierre's agents, the scheming Citizen Chauvelin, in a suspenseful blend of action and political intrigue, recounted with captivating period detail.

im dying over this thread of algorithmically-generated/otherwise low-effort Kindle covers

#books #this is from 2019 and it’s still my favorite mistake cover I’ve seen

If you haven’t started already, start archiving/downloading everything. Save it to an external hard drive if you’re able. Collecting physical media is also a good idea, if you’re able.

Download your own/your favorite fanfics. Save as much as you can from online sources/digital libraries. Recipes, tutorials, history, LGBTQ media, etc. It has been claimed, though I can’t find the exact source if true, that some materials about the Revolutionary War were deleted from the Library of Congress.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry and save and preserve what you can. Remember that cloud storage also is not always reliable!

Library of Congress - millions of books, films and video, audio recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps, manuscripts.

Internet Archive - millions of free texts, movies, software, music, websites, and more. Has been taken offline multiple times because of cyber attacks last month, it has recently started archiving again.

Anna's Archive - 'largest truly open library in human history.’

Queer Liberation Library - queer literature and resources. Does require applying for a library membership to browse and borrow from their collection.

List of art resources - list of art resources complied on tumblr back in 2019. Not sure if all links are still operational now, but the few I clicked on seemed to work.

Alexis Amber - TikToker who is an archivist who's whole page is about archiving. She has a database extensively recording the events of Hurricane Katrina.

I'll be adding more to this list, if anyone else wants to add anything feel free!

“I will love you until the bird hates a nest and the worm hates an apple, and until the apple hates a tree and the tree hates a nest, and until a bird hates a tree and an apple hates a nest, although honestly I cannot imagine that last occurrence no matter how hard I try. I will love you as we grow older, which has just happened, and has happened again, and happened several days ago, continuously, and then several years before that, and will continue to happen as the spinning hands of every clock and the flipping pages of every calendar mark the passage of time, except for the clocks that people have forgotten to wind and the calendars that people have forgotten to place in a highly visible area. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively. I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from skim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memory of the fog. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, no matter where you avoid and who you don’t see, and no matter who sees you avoiding where you go. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this, and no matter how I am discovered after what happens to me happens to me as I am discovering this. I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else, and I will love you if you have a child, and I will love you if you have two children, or three children, or even more—although I personally think three is plenty—I will love you if you never marry at all, and never have children, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all.”

not to be that guy but girls will read lemony snicket’s love letter to end all love letters ONCE and then have strange ideas abt romance forever

#yeah this is peak art actually #I first found out about this in 2019 I think? and it blew my mind #genuinely some of my favorite poetry right next to Sappho’s ancient texts tbh #I don’t like romance films or books. but romance POETRY?? oh yes I’ll eat that shit UP #it just hits different #poetry

I started reading another novel last night to cope with having finished rereading David Copperfield and it is just not the same man. I don't have something I laugh at on every other page. I've read 45 pages so far and I haven't giggled once. This hurts

#not every novel has to be funny but geez ouch i feel a deep lack of joy #tales from diana #i dont even feel like naming the novel bc it's not this book's fault it's following up an all-time fav #.........#but it is my ántonia by willa cather if your curious #i bought it at savers years ago and it's been sitting on my shelf since 2019 #i haven't read any novels since abt that time anyway #it's been almost entirely poetry plays and nonfiction. i need to get over my novelphobia #i have so many ive wanted and meant to read forever #i was in the swing of doing it p regularly and then i made friends #and i need to downsize my book collection (and plan to!) but i wanna at least get these ones read first #what seems disappointing to me is that not all novels are nearly as worthwhile as my favorite novels #but u can't know how worthwhile they are unless you read them #torturous!
