shhhh!!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

"so nothing then" was the conclusion to "would you miss anything if you stayed overnight?"

and gert didn't hear that question in the first place (which is why it's faded to you!)

he can hear Bea because she's yelling everything she's saying. he could hear Barnes while he was being yelled at. not so much the softer voices.

and he's fine to be touched when he can see that he's going to be touched. otherwise he scrunches his face in discomfort example when Bea took the hat, when barnes touched his shoulder and his hand. he's not good at being calm about touch anymore

What happened to us to fail as a society so hard that nearly everyone has a general concept of 'the wizard of oz' and yet fun merchandise and figurines and diy minature book nooks don't exist and the original books are considered 'obscure'

I had such whiplash today

I recently got back into reading Stucky fanfic again and was browsing ye olde ao3 and stumbled on this great 21 jump street AU where Steve and Bucky are undercover cops in a high school. It was incomplete before it can even get to the good stuff. But the setup was so well done that I was enthralled and then utterly distraught when I realized it hadn't been updated since 2020...

Then I saw the user profile and realized.... oh shit. I wrote this.

TL DR; I bamboozled myself. I was the villain all along

New house new room new shelf situation. I'm really pleased with it, to the point where I'll just look at my shelves and my stuff and be pleased.

It's nice to look at all my little things and think about what has stayed with me. I remember times and people when I look at them. Like the tennis racket duck that my college roommate gave me, or how upset my mom was that she accidentally broke the TARDIS plate I made in high school. The Overwatch Nerf pistol that I shoot my roommate with.

Look what my dad bought me for fixing his back window in his car. It doesn't matter how old you get, a dad will always find a way to spoil his kids.

fun fact: the uk equivalent of barnes and noble is called waterstones which straight up just sounds like a warrior cats locale. youve heard that riverclan took sunningrocks but no ones talking about bloodclan with waterstones smh

An ancient intergenerational fued, between the savage warriors of BloodClan, and Janice who runs the checkout at Waterstones

idk but saying jennifer lynn barnes sucks at writing romance because your ship wasn't canon is beyond hilarious to me like okay???? HAHHAHAHA. everyone has their own preferences of course but the vehement hatred for jlb and the belittlement of her writing on booktok and bookstagram (sometimes on here) has been ASTOUNDING.

a note about the "poorly done romance/love triangle" in tig: jlb never said it was going to be "even". no one ever said that. personally pioneering the idea that one character was "not given a chance" does not make it a poorly written love triangle or a poorly written romance. in love triangles, there is usually ALWAYS one option who is simply NOT a real option. look me in the eye and tell me characters jeremiah fisher, aspen in the selection series, gale hawthorne, adam kent, jacob black, and i'm sorry but grayson hawthorne amongst a myriad of others were actual contenders for the main character. if you believed they are/wanted them to be, that's great! but all of these characters are in well known love triangles and at the end of the day, books with love triangles WILL sell because they generate conversation and hype around the book. it is a marketing tactic and you are NEVER promised equal opportunity from both love interests. you losing the love triangle or that you believe there is wasted potential doesn't mean bad writing has occurred. also, for the love of god, while you are supposed to relate to a character, you are not the main character!! belly, america, katniss, juliette, avery, what have you, all chose based on who they are as characters. and also, female characters don't have to "experience" both love interests to make a decision. if they want to, that's totally fine, but specifically about avery bc this is what this blog is all about, she absolutely knows what she's "missing out" on with grayson and she doesn't care. shipping averygrayson just blatantly feels like ignoring avery's wants and needs.

anyway, if you want to call jlb's writing poorly done bc you didn't get your way, that's totally fine. you are entitled to your own opinion. it's just funny that you say that bc had grayson and avery been randomly thrown together in the epilogue of tfg or something, i have a feeling you wouldn't be of this opinion.

tldr; love triangles are a marketing tactic and you are neither entitled to a win nor is is poorly done/executed if you lose. love triangles, more often than not, have a clear winner from the beginning (coughcough "see? you're already his") but the debate and drama of another character sells the book.

i bought a cloth-bound copy of two scientific papers from the 30s about rabbit genetics and i fear i'm morphing into the most insufferable type of human alive

Te amo Noah Kahan. The amo beabadobee. Te amo gracie abrams. Te amo TIMØ. Te amo The Lumineers. Te amo Silvana estrada. Te amo Gregory Alan Isakov. The amo Dvörak. Te amo Ludovico Einaudi. Te amo AURORA. Te amo Mark Ambor. The amo COIN. Te amo, audífonos que se enredan si no los uso mucho tiempo. Te amo pintura. Te amo pincelitos que me cuestan lavar después de usarlos. Te amo barre. Te amo golondrinas que regresan cada año aunque me dé miedo cada invierno que se van porque, ¿y si no regresan? Te amo, Mujercitas. Te amo, libros que me han cambiado la vida. Te amo invierno. Te amo primavera. Te amo, noviembre. Te amo, mariposita que vi un segundo y nunca volveré a ver. Te amo, día de muertos. Te amo. Te amo. Te amo. Pero más importante, he aprendido a amarme a mí y por ende, a ustedes también.

I’m only two pages into this legends novel but I’m absolutely obsessed with the fact that the author has decided to write Obi-Wan as the Galaxy’s Oldest Man In His Thirties
