#some kind of happiness

book recommendations?????

i mainly just when to my bookshelf and picked some of my favorites, things i don’t think you’ve read, most i don’t think you’d heard of, and the ones that weren’t just my favorite in middle/elementary school.

some kind of happiness: (i haven’t read this in 2 years so bare with me) this is the book i’d recommend most to you. the main character is an eleven year old girl who goes to stay with her grandparents because her parents are divorcing. it deals with mental illness in a fantasy way. there’s a darkness creeping in but instead of it being depression it’s an evil mystical creature

emily of new moon: i don’t know if lucy maud montgomery will be your thing, but i love her books, and if you do enjoy them i think you’d like emily best. it’s kind weird, but i think you’d like these characters best

the ballad of songbirds and snakes: i know you said you’d read the original series (which you should reread, do it kye) but you’ve gotta read the prequel. its darker and it’s good

the last cuentista: i read this a couple months ago and it’s just generally a really good dystopia. its set in 2061, people are fleeing the planet because of a solar flare heading towards earth, and petra and her family are escaping to a new planet, but things go wrong on the ship there

the princess and the grilled cheese sandwich: this is a graphic novel that was gifted to me and i read it a couple days ago. it was really fun. this countess is a lesbian, but she’d have to marry a man to inherit her father’s money, so she dresses up and pretends to be a man instead and then accidentally falls in love with a princess

i just realised

the books i have read the fastest such as solitare, trc, heartstopper, some kind of happiness etc. have all shape the person whom i am today.

quick little shoutout to @ascoordinatedastonks this person has been on my dashboard recently and i love it so keep up the great work.

This is a room for a princess, and I am anything but that.

what am I?

A lump of heaviness. A stranger. A thing that does not fit.

I can’t seem to stop the poison inside me from spreading.

(I mean. I’ve never been poisoned, so I am only speculating.)

(But I do feel something spreading inside me. Something heavy and dark.)

I can’t let them see it.

can i just say that The Graces + The Curses by Laure Eve is for the kids who liked Some Kind of Happiness by Claire Legrand. they are like siblings to me. big families and weird magic and complex people and crazy revelations and major backstories consisting of Death caused by Fires and amazing cover art. can i also just say i love both so badly

I think Dogpool (AKA Mary Puppins, AKA Peggy!) stole everyone's hearts in the cinema. She definitely ran away with mine so I had to draw her! 🐶

Deadpool and Wolverine was such a fun movie. Genuinely have not had such a serotonin boost like that in a very long time. 💖

The indescribable tension between an overworked and underpaid smut writer, and his biggest fan hater.

:) hello! :D hope you have a nice day and absolutely do not think of the possibility of one of the last story cards being of silver! and that his groovy will very probably be crying!!! THERE'S SO MANY CRYING PEOPLE IN STORY CARDS LATELY!!! SPECIALLY LIGHT USERS!! I AM!!! SCARED!!!! bc so far we got Lilia and Sebek in the beginning book 7.... so at the end.... so we're missing story Silver... and Malleus is the one with less cards, so they might add one for him... but... the tears... ego.... THE TEARS!!!! EGOOOO!! (LOVE YOUR ART BTW EVERYTIME I GET A NOTIF FROM YOUR BLOG I RUN HERE TO SEE!)

(thank you! 💚💜💚)

YES I am ALSO like...90-95% convinced that we're going to be getting a story card for Silver once we wrap around back to diasomnia. 👀 especially because the way things are going, Silver will be the only character whose dream we haven't seen -- yet???? -- and that just. y'know. makes me wonder!

although I do think it would be VERY funny if he got a story card and the groovy was just "regular Silver except with one beautiful single crystal tear". this is actually a lot coming from him.

(he used up all his emotion yelling at a baby that one time, there's none left for a proper groovy-level cry.)

watching percy pet that white gecko in ep2 with the biggest fricken grin on his face single-handedly cured my depression for the rest of the calendar year
