“Atop his snowy head sat no crown. For gods among mortals did not need markers of their divine rule.”

— Tower of Dawn (Chapter 2)

“No crown adorned her head, for all who breathed, even the dead who slumbered, would know her for what she was.”

— Empire of Storms (Chapter 71)

Do you know if your annotated Dracula website (the old one) is still accessable through the wayback machine? If so, would you mind sharing a link?

Sorry to have been absent from this blog for so very long that some time has probably elapsed since this was asked, but the good news is that while the old site probably has some accessibility via Wayback, I finally finally finally got it up and running at a new domain. You can check it out here. :)

The new eggs getting hand me downs from the old eggs... pepito wearing the designer clothes leo grew out of... sunny wearing ramons old goggles when she goes into her dads workshop... empanada playing with pommes old foam swords... every parent trying to get rid of the high chairs and old toys that are taking up too much space in their homes...

was rewatching the pilot again yesterday for fic reasons and thinking again about the sherlock-style screen annotations they had when barry was doing CSI work that they literally only did in the first ep and then never revisited again, presumably because they realized it'd be far too much effort to work out the details on such a precise level

and thinking about like. that barry allen with the hyper-precise exact measurements that he did by eye (with joe shaking his head in awe so you know that he's a CSI supergenius) vs. the leonard snart who timed his heists to the exact nanosecond (which again, presuming they ditched because it's a logistical nightmare to write dialogue that nitpicky and obsessive, and would be such a fucking pain to do on a week-to-week basis). like. yet another reason they are soulmates tbh. is audhd4autistic a thing the same way t4t is a thing? if it isn't then i'm making it a thing

Japanese literature comes with levels of comfort that the common man could never comprehend, all held in just a cup of coffee.

And then there's the unending misery japanese authors, and they will be my babygirls forever.

finally finished my slightly more technical cockchafer (Melontha melontha) drawing in between dissertation work :') hope you enjoy :D

kind of inspired from the illsutrations of this little bug book (from 1951):

"an insect book for the pocket" one of the cutest guide book names ever

My falling apart copy of Brighton Rock. I wasn’t that into at first but then the pace picked up and I was THRISTING for more.

dreaming of attending an old money new england liberal arts college, fantasizing/raving about elif batuman’s brutally accurate depiction of collegiate girlhood, looking up how to make the perfect rory gilmore-coded iced latte while listening to ultraviolence on repeat 📖

west coast & the other woman are my favs <3

I write in my books because who else is going to? And who else will actually care?
