Júlia: So drinking coffee means you're grown up? I've been drinking coffee since I was like eight months old.

Isobel: But you don't like coffee.

Júlia: Yeah, cause I had to drink it when I was like eight months old.

Jah’s Favourite Book

People ask me What’s your Favourite Book? I tell them I don't have 1 "favourite" - I have many. Underneath the cut is a list of my "100 Favourite Books" - the true number of books in the list is closer to 275. The bracket notes: (series) means that I am calling the entire series my favourite - I can't pick one IC in the list refers to a series which is incomplete/ currently ongoing (Title of a series) is a reference to the series which the book comes from so if you're interested you can find the start point (Hard copy of webcomic) means that I've purchased the print version of these webcomics. Note this list is fiction only - which means books such as What If and Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe, Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosch and (auto)biographies by Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Stephen Fry, John Barrowman and James Morrison (the trumpet player) along with the book As You Wish about the filming of the princess bride were not included. If you want to know why a certain book (or multiple books) are on this list feel free to send me an ask - I am always happy to wax poetic about books! And finally please note that while I've listed this 1-100 there is no true separation of favourites - book 100 is just as awesome as book 1.

Júlia: I’m literally going to fight whoever hates on my amazing friend.

Isobel: I hate myself.

Júlia: ALL RIGHT YOU BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF SHIT, COME ON!

[thejulialealworld]

Júlia: Stop drinking so much coffee.

Isobel: No, coffee helps depression.

Júlia: That's not tr-

Isobel: More espresso, less depresso.

[thejulialealworld]

Júlia

My mind was somewhere between awake and asleep. That thin line where your senses capture your surroundings just enough to hear what's going on around you, but only an inch away from falling back into unconsciousness.

"Marriah?" My voice reached for the woman, although it probably sounded more like a mumble than a proper word.

"Hm?" The sound of fingers against the keyboard stopped. "Did you said anything?"

The words tried to make sense out of my mouth while my body slowly falled back into wakefulness. The world started gaining shapes, and an indistinguishable image came into focus, making me realize I had fallen asleep with my glasses on.

"Why are you awake?" I asked, sitting in bed.

Marriah reached for the mug near her, taking a sip of the hot beverage that at this point I just assumed it was coffee.

"Couldn't sleep." She shrugged like it was nothing.

"Why?" I yawned, hiding my mouth behind my hand.

"I don't know, I just guess insomnia really likes me." Her eyebrows lifted lightly, as accepting her fate of never sleeping again.

My head shook in disapprovement, and I sighed.

"Stop drinking coffee, to begin with."

The grip on the mug strengthened.

"Coffee makes it better."

"No, seriously, stop drinking it. Turn off the computer and come here." I tapped at the empty space near me. "Don't make me go there and carry you to bed. I'm taller than you."

"One centimeter taller than me!"

"Still taller than you." I smiled innocently.

She took a few seconds before taking her other earbud off. My eyes blinked heavily as I watched her save her files and turn off the computer. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when she chugged the rest of the coffee on her mug.

"Your addiction to coffee is not even healthy. I'm going to put you in coffeeholics anonymous." I joked, laying again and taking off my glasses to rest them on the nightstand.

A grin crossed her face as she turned off the bedside lamp. The warmth of her body made itself present the moment she laid down.

"I don't know what you're planning, but-"

"Shhhh, I'm gonna take you down on the old cafuné way." I turned to my side, looking at her. "Turn around.'

"But-"

"Turn around. Is sleep time."

She hesitantly turned around and I faced the back of her head.

"Excuse me." I asked, before letting my fingers touch the intersection area between the nape and the neck itself.

The tip of the nails were as soft as a flap of a butterfly's wings. It moved up silently, entering the hair smoothly, and playing betweens the hair locks.

It was a light movement, moving up and down. The gentleness on the touch guided the way, touching the skin and the hair in a unique way.

I let the moment sit for a few minutes, playing with the hair in the darkness and hearing the breathings in the quietude of the night.

"M?" My voice cut the silence in a whisper about fifteen minutes later.

No words or mumble came back at me, and I allowed myself to hear the muted breathing of my asleep friend next to me.

"Good night, Marriah."

Isobel: What if I pour coffee in my cereal instead of milk?

Júlia, taking the coffee pot as she walks by: What if you don’t.

[voidskye-ocs]

Alexa: Why are you sad? Izzy: I don’t know. Alexa: So just no reason? Izzy: Oh no there are plenty of reasons. I’m just not sure which one it is this time.

[thejulialealworld]

Júlia: Did it hurt-

Izzy: Yes, everything hurts

Júlia: I meant, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

Izzy: No, I rose from hell

Júlia, getting mad: YOU ARW SO DIFFICULT AND FOR WHAT-

[thejulialealworld]

Izzy: Oh god, are you eating ice cream again? You’re lactose intolerant!

Júlia: …Maaaaaybe.

Izzy: You’re going to regret that.

Júlia: NO REGRETS!

*twenty minutes later*

Júlia, curled up to Izzy on the couch, holding her stomach: I HAVE SO MANY REGRETS!

[thejulialealworld]

Alexa: I bet I could fit the whole world in my hands!

Izzy: That’s physically impossible.

Alexa: *cups Izzy’s face* Are you sure?

Izzy: *blushing* Stop it, I have a reputation.

[thejulialealworld]

Izzy: I have seven empty notebooks, what should I put in them?

Emma: Spaghetti!

Izzy : I’m not putting spaghetti in them. Any other suggestions?

Sadie: Spaghetti.

Izzy : I’m taking suggestions from anyone other than those two. Adora?

Adora: Put spaghetti in them.

Izzy : I’m no longer taking suggestions.

[voidskye-ocs]

Isobel: What if whenever you cracked your knuckles your fingers started to glow like glow sticks Sadie: Go to sleep. Sadie: Sadie: Wait I could read in the dark

[voidskye-ocs]

Alexa: sorry guys I cant go out tonight, stress is bad for the baby Isobel: Sadie: Adora: Emma: what baby? Alexa: me

[thejulialealworld]

Júlia: And I also think that there’s something deeply wrong with the way we discuss class in this country, especially because capitalists are fully aware that this system does not benefit the working class in any way, so they push forward the belief that-

Izzy: All I did was ask if you wanted something to drink. What the fuck are you talking about?

[thejulialealworld]

Júlia: Please, go to bed. You must be tired.

Izzy: Me? Tired? Of course not. I’m never tired.

Júlia: Go to bed. I’M tired.
