"Our thing lasted what two ice fishes last on a whisky on the rocks"

How me and @freakyelf-ontheshelf feel after giving Jack a wonderful wife knowing damn well that bastard does not deserve her.😜😜‼️‼️🦐🦐

Her name is Isidora btw.💜💚

[mary-lotf]

The nice and accurate Mary guide

I realized despite Mary having a carrrd (Mary's archive) as the story is told through Ralphs eyes i've spoke very little about her outside of what she does in the island, so I'll try to introduce her:

Ref:

Mary is a 12 year old, going to 13. Despite her hard time socializing she is loud, chatty, curious , adventurous, passionate and ambitious and without fear to stand her ground. She is considered smart for her age by adults, and while it is true that she has an understanding of societary opression, specially towards women, she however has a hard time finding the grey areas in morality usually classifying people in good or bad.

She dreams of becoming a war photoghrapher just like her mother was before having her, as she is passionate for both history and photography.

Pre island:

Mary was born under a wealthy family. Her father is a college professor and war veteran and her mother used to be a photographer for a newspaper but left the profession after getting pregnant with Mary. They both love their daughter and want her to be a well educated girl so they encourage her on her ambitious dream of building a career for herself and are more than happy that her daughter has taken a liking to literature, her mother however feels reluctant about Mary's dream.

Mary also has a little sister called Clarice (@freakyelf-ontheshelf s creation), who is around the age of 6. She travelled on the plane with Mary, but she didn't survive the crash. Clarice is the girl Mary is said to be calling during the first chapter.

Growing up Mary was a very lonely girl, she wasn't well liked in school and often mocked for her temper and weirdly "boyish" mannerism, which led the girl to seek companionship in the in the books there are at the house library. This opened her eyes to the injustice of the world and helped her develop her morality system.

In island:

Much like it is told in the "archive" she is relegated to the chores of taking care of the littluns, which she is not pleased to take on at first. But as time passes by she grows more fond of the littluns as they seem to genuinely appreciate her, unlike the bigger boys. She mainly does the job of entertaining them by telling dramaticed bedtime stories and sometimes partakes in their games.

That's not the only thing Mary does however, sometimes she manages to sneak off and enjoy some time alone, exploring the island . In one of her little walks around the forest she comes across Saoirse, a stern looking girl she could swear she had never seen before. After days or maybe weeks of talking and building trust in one another, because despite the fact Mary is british and Saoirse is irish, making them enemies, Saoirse however refuses to make contact with the other boys and mary is already outcasted, so they find themselves only having eachother to lean into, they form an unlikely friendship. And so they both spend most of their days wandering around the forest or the beach looking for the important thing Saoirse has lost, or just disscussing about their lives in general.

She does get her period on the island wich only leads to more feelings of isolation and of vunerability, as if she wasn't isolated before. During her mestruation she is sent away and after that she is forbidden from touching the food others are going to consume it after, as all Mary touches becomes dirty for some of the kids.

After chapter 10 she joins Jacks tribe, not because she agrees with him or has a sudden turn of personality, but at this point in the story she is malnourished and overall in a position of complete vulnerability. All this time she has been aware that the hunters were dangerous, but now she knows that they are capable of killing a human, and that she has a high chance of being their next target as they already don't see her as an equal. So instead of fighting them, she decides to dull down and do as the hunters wish as she thinks this will keep her safe from them. if you read her archives you'll see she is far away from safe. This decision on joining Jack's tribe upsets Saoirse and her and Mary have an argument that leads onto the end of their friendship.

Relationships with other ocs:

She does have a close friendship with Saoirse (@freakyelf-ontheshelf's oc cause they are my realest ever) by design, it happens pretty much outside of the actual story so i didn't include her in the archive but since we both basically work together in the two girls we just decided to pair them.

https://www.tumblr.com/beeari/774368923045019648/fanart-for-freakyelf-ontheshelf-amazing-oc-dont?source=share (once Leah does Saoirses intro post i'll paste it here)

Other facts:

-She is based in both the concept of the Virgin Mary and Pepa Flores (Marisol). But the main motivation to create her was to make what I considered a realistic portrayal of what an only girl in an island full of boys would be like.

-Since the very first moments I came up with her character I was sure she wasn't making it out alive, so yes, she has been doomed from the very begginning.

-The anwer for what did the hunters do to get rid of her body is left unanswered deliberately, my interpretation is that they ate her, since it would give into the hog paralelism, but I haven't given her an actual method, and it isn't discussed at any point in my canon either.

-She acts tough but she is pretty insecure towards her physical appearance, she is not considered pretty by time period beauty standards. This is the main reason why she keeps her clothes on during the entirety of the island, despite how unconfortable they are. Her insecurities also make her very defensive and not taking well feelings of being percieved as dumb.

-Her favourite book genre is adventure books, specially Jules Verne.

-Her emoji in the ribbon 🎀

-She dies in canon but an older version of her (30 Y.O) is featured in another story of mine (not at all related in any way to lotf), where she is a crime journalist who looks for her friend who has recently dissapeared. She is not the MC but does put up a challenge for the main protagonist, who is the one who made her friend disappear, so if you see her in other works you know it is her. In this one she is a biker butch in the 90s. 🏳️‍🌈‼️

💬 Tell me a cool book title you’ve come across lately! Thank you to @pagestreetya for gifting me this copy of The Devil Makes Three by @toribovalino! This title immediately caught my attention. Is this one on your TBR yet? It sounds amazing!! . . . s u m m a r y : Tess Matheson only wants three things: time to practice her cello, for her sister to be happy, and for everyone else to leave her alone. Instead, Tess finds herself working all summer at her boarding school library, shelving books and dealing with the intolerable patrons. The worst of them is Eliot Birch: snide, privileged, and constantly requesting forbidden grimoires. After a bargain with Eliot leads to the discovery of an ancient book in the library's grimoire collection, the pair accidentally unleash a book-bound demon. The demon will stop at nothing to stay free, manipulating ink to threaten those Tess loves and dismantling Eliot’s strange magic. Tess is plagued by terrible dreams of the devil and haunting memories of a boy who wears Eliot's face. All she knows is to stay free, the demon needs her... and he'll have her, dead or alive. . . . h a s h t a g s : #thedevilmakesthree #toribovalino #bookstagrammers #bookphotograph #bookpicture #shelfie #bookshelf #bookshelfdecor #ontheshelf #bedroomdecor #cozyliving #bookish #booklove #booknerd #readerslovebook #bookmoments #dowhatyoulove #beigestyle #readandchill #thecreative #pursuepretty #readmorebooks #bookwormsunite #bookseverywhere (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7_QEatsEZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the Shelf: December 2019

Welcome to On the Shelf! A post where I talk about my current reading list and what happened to my last one. This month, I present to you five books I hope to finish before we welcome the new decade. If I couldn't, then they may be dropped, paused, or still be listed next time.

Reading List

Vita Sexualis by Ogai Mori - Chosen as part of my personal Bungou Stray Dogs Reading Challenge where I read at least one work from the literary writers included in the anime. So far, I've read Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Osamu Dazai, and Edogawa Rampo.

The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories by Isaac Asimov - While I have watched some of the movie adaptations, I have never read an Asimov. I thought it's time to fix that starting with his short stories.

How Attention Works by Stefan Van der Stigchel - I selected and started this book three months ago because I can learn something from it, like managing the distractions that keep me from finishing this book.

The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley - A book selection from The Legendary Book Club guild in Habitica.

Factfulness by Hans Rosling - Started in September and put on hold until now, this book has been offering fact-based positivity and a changing view of the world's progress.

What Happened Last Month

Planning and Productivity best describes my read list. It wasn't a theme I had chosen for the month but I found myself more often reading and completing these kinds of books.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown

Study With Me by Jasmine Shao, Alyssa Jagan

Dot Journaling by Rachel Wilkerson Miller

Getting Things Done by David Allen

The books I started or wanted to read last month but didn't finished are emphasized (bold) in the list below.

The Next Ten

These books are ones that I refuse to drop or bail out on. I'm making time for them this coming holidays.

Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

When by Daniel Pink

Payoff by Dan Ariely

Death and the Flower by Koji Suzuki

Our Women on the Ground by Zahra Hankir

The Art of Logic by Eugenia Cheng

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

It seems to be an ambitious plan but what is life without ambition and plans?

This month's On the Shelf ends here. Thank you for reading!

Her name is Saoirse and she is Irish. And i'm introducing her now cause she will be mentioned in Mary's introduction post.

Yes we are aware of the Irish war, that's an important piece for her character.
