#on my mind

5.4.24 | The cherry blossoms are melting into the rich green hues of late spring & I cling to the poetry of the moment. I woke up to rain this morning, a new transition. My heart is full from a month of spring festivities & now the pause before the chaos of summer. ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖

Just My Thoughts Pt. 35

Fairy Tail Manga Reread Version

Presenting one of my favorite NaLu scenes! This was just so good! Absolutely loved every aspect of these panels. The trust they have in one another is highlighted very nicely. How many people would jump off a tall building in hopes of being caught in time?! I know that I personally wouldn’t (screw my fear of heights!) but Lucy had faith in Nastu! The development in their relationship is so beautiful.

One thing I really liked in terms of the art is how Mashima displayed the fall. He made sure to show how high the building actually was. A whole page dedicated to just that! I also liked how Natsu was quick to change their positions so that Lucy wouldn’t be too badly injured. I really wish the manga showed Natsu carrying Lucy back to the guild like in the anime. Hats off to the animators and Mashima for adding that because I devoured that scene. It was just perfect! Lucy really needed that comfort and connection and Natsu was there to give it. The bickering between Natsu and Happy in the next few panels was a nice touch to show their dynamic but I absolutely loved how they were quick to stop when Lucy started to blame herself and cry. It shows how despite their antics, they really care for their guildmates.

Until my next thought!

Newbon Gifs on my mind lately

[vulpineknave]

so i was wondering who 50 ways to leave your lover could be about.

according to this 2011 independent article it’s not about peggy harper, who was paul simon’s wife at the time.

and in the 1972 rollingstone interview simon said peggy helped him build up the courage to leave simon&garfunkel and set off on his own, which resonates curiously with what the unnamed woman says to the narrator in the song.

the chorus is interesting too, considering that garfunkel has said that he wasn’t even aware of the simon&garfunkel breakup initially - they parted ways and that was that. simon just left, much like the narrator of the song.

the implication is there is all i’m saying 🤔

Is it just me or IS IT GETTING HOT IN HERE

It's summertime here, lovelies, but for some reason my mind is drifting to teacher!Steve Rogers.

I know I haven't seen you lately, but you're always on my mind.

"I ache for you, for you to speak to me with an untold softness in your voice.. whisper in my ear that you love me, tell me that you want some more. I ache for you, to hear the things that make you tick.. I want to know your mind, your heart, your soul.. I want to know you so deeply that I feel as if I am swimming an ocean of you. I ache for you.."

I yearn and softly burn as I ache for you - eUë

2.9.24 | My days have been filled with Russian literature & bunnies. Last weekend, I went on a bookshopping date, which was lovely. During the week, I found some time to read out loud to the buns @howlandhatter, who, I'm thrilled to say, have developed a fascination for books & reading, which is how I'm choosing to interpret their mischievous propensity to nibble on my tomes. Howl seems to love the big classics (Tolstoy, Homer, etc.); Sophie goes for the comfort fantasy reads like Tolkien's The Hobbit &, of course, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. They both love books with pictures in them. ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖

▪︎ Order more chew sticks; buns prefer apple & pear ▪︎ Finish up Pushkin's narrative poems ▪︎ Start on Love Letters: Virginia Woolf & Vita Sackville-West ▪︎ Send letters & wrap Valentine's treats ♡ ▪︎ Plan spring hiking & road trips
