#nose deep in a book

[thatmessofadaydreamer]

I hate that, after my graduation, people keep asking me what am I doing.      

Isn’t it obvious? I am doing the same thing I was while in college: reading and slowly waiting for death while basking in self deprecation. 

The only difference is that before I was reading to write my papers, whereas now I am reading to write the unpublished and unfinished  œuvre that will get me artistically recognized after my premature and much regretted departure.

REVENGE IS NOT REDRESS. REVENGE IS A WHEEL AND IT TURNS BACKWARDS. THE DEAD ARE NOT YOUR MASTERS

[oh-yeah-no]

I have read the first four books of The Murderbot Diaries as well as Compulsory and Home. Fugitive Telemetry is downloaded and ready to be read and I've already got Network Effect and System Collapse borrowed and waiting. I think I will for sure need to own these all at some point, but for now this has been such a great way to get back to the library and reading (':

This is interesting

This show honestly has such a great attention to detail. Like, I know they've obviously got the books there to guide them creatively across the board, but they've really done such a great job of folding these longer term plot points in.

I beg of you. Someone give me one canonical instance of Liz being a bad friend that can’t be countered by: she’s autistic and works off a different passage of time + a canon scene from the same fucking episode.

My all-time favorite zhuiling + LJY dynamic is just Jin Ling lowkey being a hopelessly romantic Disney princess like “ohhh what if I moodily stepped out into this misty night into a lush forest of bamboo 🥺✨ what if he noticed I was gone and ran after me and followed me here and we—“ and out of nowhere Lan Jingyi pops out of a bush like “nice cringey storybook daydream you got there, would be a shame if all you got was me being the most annoying person you’ve ever met in your life”

I was today years old when I found out Apple has adapted Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter into a TV show. 🤯

Tigerstar has a supernatural power too its just a big red Reset button that magically undoes any and all character development gained by everyone in-between arcs

i guess it's one thing to be proud that i've been reading so much but the darker side of it is that it's a form of escapism. as a child/teenager i read so much because i always struggled with the way i looked. now, i guess i've been tackling my body image issues in the past years but 2023 has really been a lot. every time i can't handle things, i just start a new book or two. it's better than self harm, right? but every time i'm done with a book, what is there to look forward to?

Adding onto Sylus’ desperate need to be near you at all times. He’s clingy.

You groaned as strong hands scooped you up out of your bed, disturbing your sleep. Curling towards the warmth, soft footsteps carried you away.

You forced your eyes open to meet the red ones that glanced down at you. “Sylus?”

Sylus kissed your forehead and held you tighter as he brought you into his office. “I wanted some company.” He sat down on his deep red plush couch, laying you in his lap and pulling a blanket over you.

You groaned and reluctantly laid in the position he was putting you in. “I’m tired Sy.” Sylus chuckled. “Then sleep. I’m not stopping you.”

Scoffing at his sarcasm, you looked up at him from where you laid in his lap. He happily started to run his long fingers through your hair. “You stole me from my bed.”

Sylus tsked at you. “I did not steal you from your bed. I stole you from my bed.” A ghost of a smirk crossed his face.

He patted your cheek before placing his glasses on his nose and picking up a book. “You brought me here so you could read?”

He sighed and put down the book on the end table next to him. Swiftly he adjusted both of your positions so that he was lying across the couch with you draped along him, resting on his chest. He reached behind him, grabbed his book and continued to read.

You groaned and rolled your eyes at him but got comfortable nonetheless. “At least read it to me won’t you?”

Sylus’ deep laughter vibrated you. “Of course, Kitten. Listen close.” He didn’t care that he’d likely be up for hours and end up falling asleep when it was time for you to wake. As long as you were near him, it’s all he needed.

Other people: “I love the smell of my husband, no other smell like it!! Get yourself a man with a good smell”

Lit teacher release me from your grip PLEAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEE I:LL KILL MYSELF

[loveandpeaceanddoughnuts]

You were deep in a book, reading glasses halfway down your nose. Nanami leaned on the doorframe, drinking you in. If you had looked up, you would have seen what love looked like in plaid pajama pants. He crossed the floor, drew back the sheets, and fell into bed beside you with a contented sigh. Nanami closed his eyes and matched your breath, syncing the beat of his heart to its other half. These were his favorite moments, just existing beside you in a quiet peace.

He drew you into his arms without a word, and you let your head fall onto his waiting shoulder. Your eyes found his and crinkled into that impression of laughter that brought him to his knees. You kissed the tip of his nose, and his answering laugh tasted like spring.

Nanami’s voice followed his mouth down your neck, and in a whisper, the story resumed where you had left off. 

[thoughtssvt]

nanami being the type to get upset that his wallet was stolen simply because someone else has a picture of you in their possession

nanami who goes along with your antics-- like pulling him into a photo booth-- because he loves you. unlike what you thought he wasn't all stiff and awkward. he wore a gentle smile on his face as he mimicked your poses. throwing up a relaxed peace sign in the first, happily squishing his cheek against yours in the second, taking matters into his own hands in the third as he tucked his finger under your chin, tilting your head until your lips met.

nanami who spins your desk chair until you're facing him, making sure your work is saved and your tabs are closed before taking your hand in his. he kisses each of your knuckles softly as he pulls you to stand, leading you to your bedroom because it's all too late and you'll be able to work better with a fresh brain in the morning.

nanami who hates working overtime because he'd much rather be with you. he'd much rather massage your feet while you're nose deep into a book or listen to your deep breaths when you fall asleep with your head rested on his shoulder.

nanami who never thought he'd be able to have a partner while being a sorcerer.

nanami who is grateful to have met you because you showed him he could.

nanami who would light the world on fire if that meant being with you for the rest of his days
