#that's the beauty of a work of literature

[karlachismylife]

another Ghost x reader idea (actually works with any of the tf141 but with Ghost it's the funniest)

Okay so I suddenly remembered how I brought my two little self-printed books (I used to write fairy tales and we made two beautiful collections with illustrations by my dear comrade and everything) to the military base where my other comrade was (he got drafted, it's obligatory in our country). And I actually just wanted him to have them, but he ended up leaving them at the library (bastard, I never got them back and those were my personal copies).

So what if. A beginner writer!reader who works at a library on a military base (part-time job, maybe, don't know if it's possible full-time). They're writing soft, whimsical fairytales and have no luck publishing them since that kind of books isn't really in demand. So they print a couple copies with their own ilustartions themselves and sneak them into the library they work at.

Yes, it's a little bit desperate and silly - not that many of the inhabitants of the base visit the library in the first place, and you doubt that these hardened military people would be interested in childern's books with bright illustrations and short stories about ice-skating fairies and little lost bisons. But maybe some of them have kids at home and will take your books to them? And if the little ones find them nice, maybe they'll look into your social media where you publish your works regularly?

Days go by and your little books seem to be lost among much more serous literature (and smut. that's what in demand for these men, that's for sure).

But what a surprise it is, when you go through the ailses, putting returned books into their places, and suddenly find a huge dark figure hunched against one of the shelves, a mask immediately recognizable as one belonging to the legendary Ghost himself.

And when you peek at the book he seems absolutely engolfed into, you see the cover with the characters of a magical forest your creations live in.

I want to experience all the many lovers available to me in this lifetime.

I don’t want expectations, i want experiences.

No I will not play carelessly with my heart, but I am willing to risk it….thats what I feel I’ve come to do anyways.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Viktor asks Yuuri what he wants if he wins Onsen on Ice and Yuuri says “to eat with you.” Viktor goes to Hasetsu to serve someone, to be the best coach he can be for a struggling skater who inspired him, and Yuuri turns to him and demands his companionship before anything else.

The vulnerability of eating with someone, the very act of taking food into your bodies and letting your guard down. The intimacy of Yuuri wanting to share his favorite dish with Viktor, presenting a part of himself on a platter and asking him to enjoy it.

The transformative nature of sharing a meal, the way each party exits with something in common with those around them. Viktor and Yuuri come from very different backgrounds and are at very different places in their life, but they are both in Hasetsu, together, and eating katsudon. It is the start of a journey together. It is Viktor’s introduction to Yuuri’s culture and character and Yuuri’s moment to humanize his idol.

Look, I don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. I don’t think they are tiger stripes or natural tattoos. I don’t think my acne is beautiful. I don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. I just think they’re human. And I don’t think I have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and successful. I don’t think every small detail of my outer appearance needs to be translated into prettiness.

The Many Illustrators of A Tale of Two Cities 10: Leopold Gedo

That's right, we're already to #10!

Incredibly (or should I say inkredibly) straightforward set here - enjoy these beautiful illustrations by Leopold Gedo from a 1946 edition of A Tale of Two Cities!

This was one of the first editions I scanned - I'm so happy to be sharing it here!

& the standard endnote for all posts in this series:

This post is intended to act as the start of a forum on the given illustrator, so if anyone has anything to add - requests to see certain drawings in higher definition (since Tumblr compresses images), corrections to factual errors, sources for better-quality versions of the illustrations, further reading, fun facts, any questions, or just general commentary - simply do so on this post, be it in a comment/tags or the replies!💫

Her works raised me, my grandmother always talked to me about Virginia, how beautifully she talks about women, about the long existing struggles and stereotypes that circle around us, how important her presence is in feminist literature.

Her works seem like love letters to me. Letters that remind me who i am and what i am fighting for♡

I could be beautiful

I could be

in the right lighting

viewed through the eyes of a loved one

if you could love me first

then you might find me beautiful enough to consider loving.
