public libraries are so crazy man. like you’re telling me I can read this book for free

#not plonts #since I no longer work at the university I lost my access to the university library #which is a massive F but it means I have been going to the public library #and you know what. it’s a good vibe #they do not have the hyperspecific plant research books I was checking out from the old library but dude it’s so nice #at the public library there are also old ladies playing mahjong and kids going NO WAY over a dinosaur book etc

I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!

I am not normal about any of these characters!

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 6 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 6 spoilers #me just staring at the ceiling thinking about anime characters #if i start talking about the big stuff now it's going to turn into a huge rambling mess so in the meantime #i did not get sebek (yet) (i need to contemplate my gems...) but i did see his groovy #he is just full-on cinderella-sparkles bibbidi-bobbidi-booing into that armor! magnificent.#and i really don't have enough words for how much i love tiny malleus. he is perfect. he is precious. he is everything to me.#he knows who his dad is no matter what some crusty dead talking ectoplasm blobs say #(man no wonder lilia's got hangups if THAT was the general attitude he was getting)#('eww you got your dirty bat cooties on the prince' go sit in the corner with mrs. rosehearts you absolute garbage)#(...i did kind of love that lilia started to wake up because the senate said one nice thing to him)#(and he immediately was like 'this is not reality')#(sounds about right)#on a lighter note i was just. SO charmed by the little throwaway about ✨dragon lord consort esteemed diplomat revaan✨#who picks the vegetables out of his food and hides them under the tablecloth #everything i learn about this man makes me like him more. he was SO dumb.#now we know where malleus gets it from i guess #also unrelated but once again the fact that i named my mc tamago has had unintentional consequences #tamago take the tamago and tamago tamagao tamago #frikkin love that when yuu gives the egg back you can just be like 'i love him. this is my baby now.' 100% accurate.#also yuu continually referring to malleus as tsunotarou even to the senate = amazing. yuu really has NO self-preservation or awareness.#they fit right in with everyone else #<- see what did i tell you. huge rambling mess.#and i haven't even BEGUN to talk about MELEANOR -- (is dragged offstage by a hook)

more sketches! zs on the brain

#my art #zosan #one piece tag #top + bottom left were reffed off a pose catalog book i have a complicated relationship with #every time reach the point of 'ugh this was a bad purchase i haven't used it in ages' i end up finding some portion of some pose to use #i would like to get better at suggesting muscle though silhouette/mass rather than defining muscle w/ lines... muscles are nice and soft #i like it when you get definition only through subtle bits of dimpling : )

Scholarly peak is catching up on recent literature

#bingqiu #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #svsss #sqq #lbh #my art #which is honestly just to say that i've finished the other two print books i was reading #and am now prepared to leap feet first into svsss bk4 #i succeeded in holding off for an entire two weeks. i have the conviction of a wet paper towel.#lets see bk4 was described as - what? - an ''angst and smut pile''??#i am very much looking forward to this #i was promised a story with my snake boy #because i am very much not over zhuzhi-lang's fate so this had better be A REALLY NICE HAPPY ONE FOLKS #anyway have sqq and lbh cuddling and reading as i project on them #i like to assume that as time goes on sqq is able to relax his persona a bit more around lbh #i think he should get to cuddle and bitch about shitty novels #but man sqh is really the ONLY source of any books that have an even slightly modern cadence/style i have a feeling sqq would be very keen #though if i'm being honest i really wonder if sqh could ever bring himself to write fiction again #if you're A Writer it tends to be hard to RESIST you just get an itch to tell a story #but also like... the fear that all of this could happen again... or that the characters you're creating might be REAL and SUFFERING...#yeah... i honestly suspect he can't write anymore and that it honestly probably sucks a lot... but for the sake of this joke he is :P

#cozy-comfy reading a book recovering <3 #vulnerability? sorry all they got is puns #love them for it tbh so real for that #i imagine this being somewhen post-game so #isat spoilers #sorry but i do not believe that Vaugarde or really any other place has no constellations at all #they are so usefull! for navigation or for calendar keeping!#so yeah now there Are constellations they are just niche knowledge for like sailing or for understanding how the calendar formed #i guess there is also specifically ursa minor what a coincidence #did you know that there are myths based on how constellations behave through out the year?#scorpio and orion are never seen on the sky at the same time and theres a myth about how the scorpion killed him #but he was immortalized on the night sky (the scorpion also got immortalized because fuck orion)#rant over have a nice day #isat #in stars and time #isat siffrin #my art

lucan's pharsalia (or bellum civile) is an epic poem in latin about the civil war between julius caesar and pompey magnus. it contains the most detailed description of necromancy from the ancient world, romans fighting (and losing) to various horrible snakes, and time imploding in on itself. the poet fell out with the emperor nero and was banned from reciting or publishing the poem; he was later forced to commit suicide for his involvement in a failed conspiracy against the emperor. the poem was left unfinished.

quit your job. join my emo readalong. the anniversary of the battle of pharsalus is august 9th. tag posts with #pharsaliabookclub if you like

my goal is for this to be extremely chill and lowkey but also to get more people into / talk about what is one of my favourite texts of all time ever. + if you want to have an evil civil war experience then read caesar's bellum civile at the same time :-)

reading schedule

june 24th - june 30th: book 1

july 1st - july 7th: book 2

july 8th - july 14th: book 3

july 15th - july 21st: book 4

july 22nd - july 28th: book 5

july 29th - august 4th: book 6

august 5th - august 11th: book 7 (teehee)

august 12th - august 18th: book 8

august 19th - august 25th: book 9

august 26th - september 1st: book 10

translations

i'm planning on reading jane wilson joyce's translation, which also has good introductions to the poem as a whole as well as each individual book. if you can’t find a pdf in your usual pdf finding locations then dm me :-) i also recommend susan braund's oxford world classics translation. a.s. kline's translation is on poetryintranslation, and the loeb translation by j.d. duff has facing latin text.

Watching Loki. I’m on episode 4 and I’m trying to see what the hype was about

#I’m on s1e4 and this shit isn’t gripping my attention at ALL #usually it takes me a season or two to care about a show tho so I’ll be kind to it #is this probably a wild take? eh maybe #some shows I like instantly but this surely ain’t it.#it is a fun concept but man I’m just #they’re not going enough into the absolute batshit shenanigans :(#but that might just me loving comic book camp and it’s far more serious #I’m just so glad they didn’t make both Lokis be a couple thank hood #*god #bro I just need it to get UBER time fuckey and have fourth dimension bullshit involved #update on S1E5 and I’m just waiting for interesting shit to happen #bones speaks #ok it might be getting interesting. they have kinship #Oop and they’re captured. andddd he’s stuck in his own purgatory? oh it’s a time loop. nice.#I like Mobius the best. he’s fun and his charisma is just fantastic. I’m glad they centered his on character a lot and intrigued to see #and where his character goes #GOD NO THEYRE MAKING SYLVIE AND LOKI A THING FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU #god I HATE that shit cmon. make him fall in love with Mobius u dumb fucks it’s so much more of an interesting take

saw the event announcement and had to immediately drop everything and get back to my favorite pasttime (drawing Lilia). sure don't want me saving up my keys, huh, do you Twst?

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with stitch #just literal actual stitch is showing up now huh #not that i'm complaining mind you #that choice of ssrs though. i'm a little scared of what the story is there #stitch and lilia makes me go 'ha ha whoa okay everyone batten down the hatches it's about to get weird!'#stitch and floyd makes me go 'we have to leave. take nothing with us. we have to get out of here nOW'#sure it looks like charming ukelele duets and sunshine #but what happens AFTER that huh #(probably a nice refreshing beverage and some shuffleboard)#(but i'm not going to count on that)
