Can I ask what was your first impression of TGCF and if it turned out wrong or right?
My first impression of TGCF was "this goof continuously ascends to -- and gets kicked out of -- heaven, this is going to be clown town isn't it?"
And honestly I stand by that one, I think I was completely correct**
(**barring the fact that this goof will then go on to experience ever conceivable horror known to man but honestly I mostly expected it after MDZS)
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#xie lian#hua cheng#hualian#honestly i was pretty spot on with my tonal assumptions for TGCF which is why i didn't include it in the previous post#after getting my shit rocked by MDZS i was feeling a bit more accustomed to mxtx's tendency to mix humour and tragedy#so i expected things to Go Bad sooner or later#that being said i was WILDLY unprepared for book 6 the post-banishment arc nearly k i l l e d me#straight up took me 4 calendar months to read bk6 because i'd read about 3 pages and then need to crawl away and cry for a bit#it intrigues me how with both MDZS and TGCF the backstory stuff is AGONIZING#and there can be some reckoning with that in the present#but as a general rule the present day plot is were the comedy and whimsy and romance lives & the backstory is where PAIN AND SUFFERING live#i'm not sure why i was so startled by SVSSS's vibe since it's fairly similar to the other two#the stuff i saw on my dash led me to think it was mostly humour/fluff though and i was admittedly VERY biased against isekai#very very pleasantly surprised by SVSSS i'm enjoying it alot#i'm amused and humbled by the new followers i've recently collected#i assume it's mostly svsss's fans that know A Storm Is Coming and are sitting back with popcorn to watch me suffer in real time - if so#cheers#my art

Coloring book 😄 . Every picture is in the book twice which is really weird choice to be made, but the book was super cheap so i guess that maybe they lowered costs by not having all unique pictures and instead used every picture twice. Still really weird tho 🤔 .

hello tumblr people who read books originally written in languages other than english, i have a request
i have to write a book review for my reading in translation module at the end of november and i’m trying to find a book to use for it. i’ve not (to my knowledge) read any books that have been translated to english from another language - besides one i also read in its original spanish but i don’t wanna use that for this - so i have literally no ideas.
basically i’m looking for book recs, it’s a translation to english i’ll need to use but if you don’t know whether it’s been translated that’s fine i can easily find out myself :) thank you to anyone who helps! <3
#preferably quite a short book so i know i’ll be able to read it in time without too much stress#also it could be a kids book or collection of short stories they’re cool too#what i’ve had to read so far for the module are a couple of feminist retellings of traditional japanese ghosts stories#from a short story collection of such retellings#and the first few chapters of the catalan book la plaça del diamant#(two english translations one of which gave it a different title)#generally what i read is queer romance and dark academia that kind of vibe#some fantasy#i’ve also been enjoying reading classics over the last few years but we’re advised not to use any sort of classic for this module#because then so many people will have opinions on it that it’s difficult to come up with new ones of your own#okay i think that’s all the relevant information?#bookblr#langblr#translation

my personal Media Genres tier ranking and also Neopets Species tiers. put together in the same post just due to being adjacently related because they're on the same website lol
links to the specific tier makers: Media Genres --- Neopets
#(might have to right click open image in new tab to zoom and see some of them. tumblr always makes screenshots tiny)#Also I think this is why I have trouble finding things to watch/just don't watch media very often since I'm so so so hyper specific and#particular that I just end up disliking or neutrally not caring about like.. SO MANY things ghfg#Even being aware of my particular-ness I was still surprised to see how many were in the 'dislike' and 'not care' categories lol#Also it is so so so hard being an Action and Romance genre hater YET being a Fantasy and Historical genre lover ghhjb#EVERY fantasy story is also an action romance.. every historical story is a romance.. ouch oof taking psychic damage always#KIND of like how I LOOOOVE point and click mystery puzzle games but I also generally dislike the horror genre#but many point and click puzzle games I used to see would have horror elements or be 'scary' in some way#and it's like HHRgghh.. I just want to navigate a creepy old dilapidated mansion collecting secret codes from books but NOT in a scary way!#just like I want fantasy & historical content but NOT in an action romance way!!#Also.. NEOPETS.. I think my two favorites are both one of the most common choices and also one of the least lol#like EVERYONE loves aishas pretty much. I think they even won a favorite neopets poll on tumblr. But then nobody talks about vandagyres#or even cares about them (seemingly) and they have like so few clothes or good options because they're just irrelevant apparently#also I know it seems very uncharacteristic for the neopet that's basically A Cat to not be in my favorites but I just gjhjhbj#the eyebrows of the wocky bother me. it doesn't match everything else. Even in different paintrbsuh colors it will be#nice and cohesive and pastel or something and then two big dark lines. I aesthetically love thick dark eyebrows on people it just looks wei#rd on a cartoon cat. ANYWAY.. fun to think about#I love ranking things always#also curious to know if anyone has similar opinions... my fellow vandagyre lovers.. and action movie haters.. cutthroat kitchen fans.. :0c#AND as someone tired of romance in general & ESPECIALLY cardboard cutout cishet romances. yes I would of course like to see more lgbtq+#stories in media etc. The genre is just not placed higher because so much seems to be Modern Young Adult Romance which of course I hate#those themes lol.. We need some drama comedies with a cast of gay 300yr old elves in victorian costume. please.. ghjgj.. (and like ACTUAL#300 yr olds. NOT 'is immortal bt still acts like an irrational 15yr old bc plot'. what abt jaded eccentric elder romance? hmM? lol) ANYWAY#always manifesting a 'high fantasy historical mystery comedy drama satire psychological character study (with vampires)' into existence lol#if I could make a tv show set in my world... the sheer power I would have.. and nobody would watch it because it would have NO action or#romance (at least none that was serious/was not framed as lame/goofy/comedic) & would have intricate complicated worldbuilding and be very#VERY broadly unmarketable.. but I would finally have a show that meets my tastes lol

i want more physical copies of archie sonic issues that have werehog/unleashed related covers because the art always goes so hard but i dont feel like spending 20+ dollars on a single comic issue and some of these are going for like 50 or more because theyre rare variants or something. whatever man
#i mean i technically do have physical copies of the art for some of them since i have the volume that collects some of them#and each cover that was used for those issues has its own page in the volume#but its not the sameee because i cant really display them. and i am NOT ripping this book up to display it its practically brand new#(okay well its not brand new really i got it a few years ago but im so careful with it that its still in like new condition)#i said archie but i also want the ri cover of idw sonic 22. but i have NEVER seen a single listing online for that thing#and when it comes to looking in person#individual issues of idw sonic in general are impossible to track down where i live . ive NEVER seen one ever#aside from the one free comic book day issue that i have. but i do occasionally run into archie sonic even though its older?#im starting to wonder if physical copies of that cover ever existed

Only thing i have to do to move on from how bitch ass messy 5th grade me was that totally was out of her control is to kill that bitch
#cherry says#that really at the end of the day when i lashed out toward others was just mean#yes youre SOMETHING mentally wrong with you but what do others have to do with you?#what does bringing other people into ur anger and confusion and make u feel distracted from being alone achieve?#mad to your classmates in general are pointing out as a collective you as a presenting woman arent feminine enough nor light enough?#fuck them fuck off#mad to a new world coming that wants you to turn into something you dont even know? mad at this image of who you even wanna be?#whats the purpose of it#self sabotaging 5th grade me ....... i have to kill you and drive off with you in a shallow grave like nothing#i wish somebody was nice to you you stayed in the library forever you thought of peoples opinions less#because theres ways to love attention daily like nothing while not caring what they say#i wish somebody was your best friend since forever and never left you and stayed and stayed#but people move like book pages and so do you because this isnt love to yourself nor others around you#and thats why i have to kill you and leave you and not even give much ceremony for because i gave u enough power anyhow

I always need to be reminded not to be harder on my fanfic than on the source material
#applies generally#tho rn I'm like 'I can't post this fic it doesn't have a plot it's just a bunch of scenes where stuff happens but there's no real arc'#this is based on the Foundation Trilogy#which is literally just a collection of short stories taking place over 400 years#and if you think it ends with the Foundation reaching its goal of starting a new Galactic Empire I have some bad news 😆#(maybe it gets to that point by the end of the new books? but listen. he took a 30-year break. so I'm judging it as a TRILOGY.)

They’ve released not just digitized works of art, but also a great many art history texts and art books in general. Just this week, they announced an expansion of access to their digital archive, in that they’ve made nearly 88,000 images free to download on their Open Content database under Creative Commons Zero (CC0). That means “you can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.”
88,000 new free images just dropped, to use however you like.

there a curse on me that makes everyone think I'm a die hard true crime and thriller fan like I read thrillers sometimes but the librarian started telling me all the plots of the new books they'd just ordered in that are quote the murdery ones that i like. you check out a riley sager one time
#my mom does the same I get the new ruth ware for every birthday which I don't even hate thrillers I just#Don't know where the association comes from bc I read general fiction and horror probably the most#and usually libgen the horror ones bc they're harder to find irl unless I order them. and I libgen zeitgeist thrillers#bc I'm not paying for something that sucks#so I have physical books that are either general fiction or essay collections most of the time#I've never been a true crime person though and I get that one a lot...

New My Little Pony Daring Do and the Eternal Flower (The Daring Do Adventure Collection) Book available here: https://amzn.to/46han9p
Details below:
Exciting news! The second limited edition hardcover book in the Daring Do Boxed Set series, now sold separately! Nothing lasts forever...or does it?
Daring Do is excited to learn of the Eternal Flower--a legendary enchanted bloom believed to grant immortality to the creature who drinks its sweet nectar. It is a rousing notion, but it has never actually been found!
Curious about the possibility of such a plant existing, Daring Do visits the Equestrian Botanical Society, where she quickly learns that the roots of the legend reach deeper than she ever dreamed.
And Daring Do isn't the only one digging.
She sets out on her own quest across land and sea, racing against time to find the flower before the nectar touches the lips of another pony--or a monster who might have more sinister plans for it than she does. Will Daring Do follow the clues and find the secret to eternal life?

My actual red dlag is that I keep reading the same five books because I hate starting new things
#it's not a good thing btw. my to read list is long but i crave comfort and lack an attention span for new things but#i need to read more on the stuff im trying to learn and more on topics that are important to my values to broaden my knowledge n perspective#but i keep going back to reading the collections of poe and lovecraft; demian by hesse SPECIFIXALLY#Doré whole biography with analysis on every piece#and diary of an opium eater#because i kmow them and they feel comforting to read and give me bouts of creativity#but i should be reading the feminist books in my to read list#the ones about societal structure and racism and discrimination and generally ones about culture#and the ones that are important to things i need to learn like the book on entomology i started or the human anatomy and the fucking studies#of perspective because perspective is a bitch#i also need to go back on history and learn more#fuck theres so muvh to learn and so little time and i keep wasting it
