I BOUGHT THE BOOK!!!



#wicked#wicked book#ITS SO PRETTY#i was in luck they had ONE special edition left!!#they had like six copies of the book and probably a million more in the back BUTTTT this one is the pretty hardcover!!#its a nice sleek black under the jacket and the title on the spine is plain white but the holographic design is so pretty!!#plus the other copies were paper back and just had the promotional posters for the movie as the covers#but they were far more reasonably priced ($19) as opposed to the version i bought ($40)#another of god's little challenges#i got a gift voucher for the bookstore a while ago and i conveniently had $40 left#im excited to start reading it although its DEFINITELY an at home thing because it's never fitting in any of my not orange bags#also i dont want to damage it because it was forty fuckin dollars#ignore my fat baby hands#i absolutely loved the movie although ive never seen the musical#and ive heard the book and the musical are way better than the movie#so i have high hopes#its a gorgeous book i cant get over how pretty it is#theres gonna be a prettier book somewhere and im gonna lose my shit

Imagine reading a new manga and joking about it being homoerotic and then it gets explicitly stated that one of the protags is gay
If I don't see any weird romance blossom between those two istg-
#AINT NO WAY I WENT 'OH TOXIC HORROR YAOI /J' AND THEN THE NARRATIVE SAID 'bet.'#oh if they dont eventually end up together ill lose it#i thought- i thought i was just too influenced by tumblr when i saw the vivisection scene and went 'haha gay sex /j' and then- and then???#i dont even care if they actually get together tbh#i just want them to keep being that weird#the entire situation is fun if you ignore the atrocities lack of morality and cannibalism#one day youre a 30 y/o high school teacher - the other youre a lab experiment on immortality and a househusband. and a murder accomplice#also congrats you just gain a pet monkey who hates the mad scientist that kidnapped your corpse and brought it back to life#EDIT: OH THEYRE SO IN LOVE THERES NO WAY-#problematic couple for the win#nobody deserve to deal with them so they should stick together#i cant stop laughing#toya wtf#edit 2: officially gay yay#edit 3: ITS AN UNHAPPY ENDING NUOOOOOHHH#sleeping dead#pretty sure i stumbled on the first chapter some years ago#anyway - my conclusion to this is: sometimes its good to read smth without having any clue on what its about - sometimes all you need is to#look at the volume cover and go 'eh. lets try it'#conclusion n2: indulge in dark stories from time to time. its good. not that id say sleeping dead is the darkest out there but that may be#just me-#theres def worse than that#ive made this post in my draft before posting - thats why there are already 'edit's

people act like 'strong moral code' is a 'positive'/beneficial autistic trait when basically all mine does is make me care way too much about online discourse and afraid to befriend people who disagree with me even a little bit about things that dont matter whatsoever
#spire rambles#like. i have strong morals for things that Do matter ofc. and i do like that i have those#but the thingis that the autism Does not discriminate between 'murder is bad' and 'the correct opinion about fictional characters'#like the emotional 'contrast'/stakes is turned way up regardless of how pointless and stupid the shit in question is#like. i think one of my greatest flaws is black and white thinking and im pretty sure it is Entirely Because of this shit#it's less 'wow such a good and noble person with such righteous beliefs and values standing up for justice and what's right'#and more. 'someone i hardly know disagreed with me about the intended reading of a story#so now this whole discord server is covered in the bad and i cant talk there anymore'#in my experience at least

So I rearranged my bookshelf a bit for fitting trigun on my shelf...

Top shelf is still my persona shelf. It's way too established to change that. But I moved my assorted other fav manga volumes to the bottom shelf, leaving room for This...

It didn't Quite fit all the way, but it's close enough. This shelf is composed of my three top favorite mangas of all time, which are Also the only 3 series that I own in totality. Specifically bc theyre my favorites & I care enough about them to want to own them all lol
It's... really really nice to see them all in one place like this.

And of course. The trigun ❤️ completely worth the money I spent on them.
#speculation nation#this is nowhere Near the full number of manga and books i own btw#i have. boxes and boxes just sitting in the closet.#but this is my only functional bookshelf. im a little limited.#so i only have the Favs here. at least for manga.#sometime i should go thru all my manga. ive forgotten how much i actually own.#maybe someday i can get some more bookshelves... ive been thinking about it.#for now. this will do.#it makes me so ridiculously happy to see trigun on the shelf. even with it being a bootleg print.#it's honestly pretty great quality for a bootleg. only printing problems i saw were a few of the internal covers were a bit out of order#everything in the volumes themselves were printed Wonderfully#of course dark horse translation so not perfect quality there. but ngl it's almost nostalgic to read that version for me.#that was my first trimax experience. & as much as i value what overhaul has been doing for us#a part of me will always be fond of dark horse's translation too.#and thus why i keep hold of my 'he is reason enough for me to fight' header. i enjoy it Very much.#man. i cant believe i got home 8 hours ago. and ive spent this whole time fucking around with my new manga#but ykno what it's good that it's bringing me so much joy#for how much i spent on it i damn Well better get some enjoyment out of it lmaoooo#but ive read thru them and i will almost Definitely be flipping thru them again in time#i enjoy physically holding manga. it lets me peruse so much more easily than trying to scroll and click thru pages#worth Every Penny........

Why are certain tasks impossible to even try to do sometimes?
Like I know I need to do a thing, but when I try to work on it or even think about it, my brain turns to static.
#I'm trying to edit a cover letter that I wrote for one job so that it applies to the new one#And the jobs are pretty similar so theres not much that even needs to change#But I try to read through it and suddenly I cant read anymore. Sorry 404 error code. The words turn to static#(Its the executive disfunction. .... I think)#THIS IS JUST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY SO I REALLY NEED TO APPLY AND I KNOW IT#BUT DOING APPLICATIONS AND COVERLETTERS AND GENERAL TRYING TO MAKE MYSELF LOOK PERFECT FOR THE JOB IS AAAVDLDHDOWHLWAJAKHDKDHD#ITS STRESSFUL. Its stressful. I hate trying to make this stupid 'perfect' image of myself to get a job#*biting chewing tearing* >:(#It feels like serving your heart on a platter so then when you get rejected or not even acknowledged#It's like throwing your heart in the trash#Vent

When edgy bookish ppl say shit like "hot take but I DO judge a book by its cover! If the story was truly good they'd surely make the cover look pretty" I just....roll my eyes. It's so obvious yall don't know how the publishing industry works.
#books#reading#literature#publishing#and i KNOW youve been let down by a pretty book#so why do you think the opposite cant happen?#authors have little control over their covers

Still love this fake album cover I made for a bigger college project back in 2021 (extras under cut).



#it says Bumpy Genital if you cant read it#giant procrastinator so some of the stuff I'm not very fond of but I still want to post more from that project in the future#seriously i manually designed screenprinted and bookbinded a double vinyl gatefold cover. i think thats pretty sick#also screenprinted on a blank record as the “art side” of a one-sided record#my art#drawnjawn

Thinking about posting cringe tonight >:3
#i finished my triage lyrics and actually recorded myself singing#except i cant sing and sound pretty bad but!! i had so much fun!!! :D#everytime i read someones translyrics i get mad because i cant find the rhythm theyre going for#so i figured i could avoid that in mine - and also im the biggest advocate for doing arts and things even if youre bad at it#because its Fun and thats the point#ill put a note in the post when i make it up but if any pals can sing and want to cover it (or cant but want to cover it asdfs) hmu!! 👀👀👀#yeah i may chicken out by then adfsdfsd but I had a great time :')#rose rambles

Me sitting and watching any oni discussion waiting for an excuse to bring up a seed is planted all like 🤓👉👈
#rat rambles#oni posting#Ive been lurking in a discord sever if you couldn't tell#well I have been for a while but I rarely touch it since my poor heart cant take it#I try to only add my two cents when smth that actually relates to the lore comes up which as it turns out is almost never lol#there is a lore discussion channel to be clear its just never used to discuss the actual lore so thats where my agonies come from#alas. no one cares.#also holy moly the misconceptions are rampant. you can feel how little most ppl have read if any at all. sigh.#its fine but it is still sad to me. screams and cries. Ill never be able to talk abt the actual characters at this rate#Im going to need to make like a three hour common misconceptions debunking video at this rate#(lying but if I Do make a lore video eventually I will be putting a common misconceptions section at the end for my sanity)#again Im just hesitant to try making a lore video rn since there's kind of a plot going on thats not done yet in the recent dlcs#while technically the general timeline of gravitas itself is complete enough for a summary video especially in relation to in game stuff#this stuff relates more heavily to the rest of pre earth exploding societal stuff that I feel like is important to cover in a lore summary#if I was just talking the main story of oni I could summarize that pretty easy but if its going to be a comprehensive lore video I want it#to cover the actual lore and not just the general key notes of what matters to in game things#the real question is if I actually try to include every bit of mildly noteworthy information or not lol#Id love to ramble abt every named character and point out which dupes we have known donors for but most of them are quite disconnect from#everything else going on and even those who arent are kind of hard to bring up in relation to those events#aka the guys with their lil diaries and any artifact exclusive mentions#well ok this also includes like pei and mae and probably several other ppl Im forgetting#maybe I can give them a lightning round section where I go over duplicant donors that didnt get mentioned in story summary#but again I wanna wait until at least the next dlc before starting to draft this since again there's a plot going on rn#cause like if I just go for it now Ill be binding myself to a clunky update video where I go over the new stuff#and that will be fine by me once this current jackie family drama arc is over but for now I will twiddle my thumbs and wait

Gonna be so real chat I actually really like working I just hate all the stupid bullshit that goes along with it.
#fingers crossed my new job is better but also i cant wear my face piercings and i have to cover my tattoos so MAJOR L#but i would consider that point part of the stupid bullshit im referring to#who cares if i have face piercings and dress like a shitty little artist if i get the job done#gonna try not to be bitter about it and just hope the handbook i read is just a general guide and not The Law but my hopes are pretty low

This is probably a stupid question but like I know the mint of the comic book ear marks it's value. But I'm just buying the comic because I want to read it. . . Should I care about the mintability???
#like is it inherently wrong to just pick up the comic and read it?#idk its like 3 dollars on the website and its not even old its just like ten years old so i cant pick it up in the regular shops#idk idk idk#im over thinking this but clearly i forgot to take my meds#comic books#its wolverine circa 2003 definitely not the one with nude nightcrawler totally not i have morals#idk man its like 2 in the morning and i should go to bed so i can get work done tomorrow#marvel#i just bought a loki series bc the same artist drew the covers so like im just a bitch for pretty pictures

i gave a second chance to cupid!
or arranged marriage with nanami kento
– nanami was told that he has to get married by his parents
– since no one caught his eye he just let his parents choose for him
– nanamis secretly a hopeless romantic, so he cant help but be dissapointed in the setting. now all he hopes is that his partner is kind
– he was shown your picture and well, he found you really pretty but he also knows looks are not everything. if youre nice and understanding than he could live the rest of his life with you
– a date was set prior your marriage as to help you get to know each other
– nanami and you showed up at the spot. you were even prettier in person. and when you both started talking, it seemed like you were a little shy so it was mostly him leading the conversation
– he asked about your likes and dislikes, your dreams, your hobbies, what food you like and even your favorite color
– your mannerisms and the way you talked was very endearing to him
– you also asked about him and got to know about his dangerous life as a sorcerer, it worried you to know the man youre marrying has to constantly put his life in risk
– all in all the date went pretty well and he was happy that he got a partner like you and vice versa.
– you both went on multiple dates before the marriage. sometimes you chose the places (amusement parks and fairs) while sometimes he chose (museums and aquariums)
– during that time you both became comfortable with each other. nanami now genuinely enjoyed spending time with you rather than thinking of it as merely a duty. now he can say that hes a little excited to marry you and live with you
– after your marriage everything was the same except you saw each other everyday. you both wake up and make breakfast together, eat and leave for work together
– you also broke out of your shy phase, now you always fill nanami about your day. sending him texts on his lunch break about how hes doing and if he ate
– you make his house more lively bc of your creativity. theres a new cover you handmade for the table and stickers even on the fans
– slowly you both start to fall for each other. it was you who fell first tho and how could you not
– and when you realized you loved him well, you were never good with words so you became more affectionate with him
– shyly giving him pecks on the cheek (first time you did that nanami was frozen, you were afraid he was uncomfortable then you saw the tips of his ears reddening) from then on, you were unstoppable. kissing him when he leaves for wokr and when he comes back home. you also loved to run your hands through his hair.
– even though you fell first, nanami was the one who fell harder
– now he really cant imagine a day without your presence. hes slowly getting used to you and your mannerisms. you fussing over him when he's overworking, always making sure he ate, taking off his glasses and pecking his forehead when he fell asleep reading a book (he could feel you doing that) and your late night conversations
– you made his house a home. it took him some time to realize that he has fallen for you
– now you both cant keep your hands to yourselves lol. he always has to have a hand in your waist
– nanamis love is shown in the way he protects you. from glaring at people who randomly touch you in the crowed train to making sure you dont hit your head in the corner of table
– he also spoils you. remember on the first date you told him about your likes, hobbies and dreams? he remembers all that and gets you whatever you wished
– you guys still hadnt gone in your honeymoon so he and you visited malaysia after the shibuya incident. that was when nanami confessed his love for you. you replied that you love him too with tears in your eyes. it was really the perfect moment for both of you, away from all the sorcery and tensions of the world.
– nanami kento, the hopeless romantic is now getting the love he deserves in this arranged marriage with you

2:15 am | c. sturniolo
HI yes im alive who’s surprised (me, i am)
self proclaimed mayor of the ‘chris can’t sleep alone’ club (doing gods work, you’re welcome)
summary: chris cant sleep & you’re the perfect remedy
wc: 834
gif by @hotelstares !
you haven’t been asleep very long. maybe twenty minutes or half an hour.
you’re in the midst of a fuzzy dream when your phone starts to vibrate on your dresser next to your bed. the sound is difficult to recognize at first, getting all mixed up with your dream in your mind. eventually it wakes you up, tugging you away from the soft haze you’d been emersed in.
groggily, you reach over for the device, squinting your eyes to try and read the contact. your eyes are bleary, but you’re able to make out your boyfriends name and contact photo after a brief seceond.
“chris?” you wonder through the line upon answering, voice thick with sleep and hardly above a whisper.
“hey ma,” his voice is smooth, like he hasn’t been asleep yet.
“hi…i think i was dreaming about you,” you say as you let your head fall back against the pillow, rubbing gently at your eyes with your other hand.
“yeah?” he says through a deep breath. the smile your confession elicits from him is audible and contagious.
“yeah, either that or i just spent the last four days with you and my brain hasn’t realized we’re apart yet,” you think he must be able to hear your smile as well.
“my brain hasn’t really realized it either,” he mumbles, getting a little bit shy.
you close your eyes, content being soothed by his voice.
“what time is it?” you ask him, even if you could easily look at your phone screen for the answer. opening your eyes feels like too much work.
chris answers of course, without hesitation, “2:15,”
“it’s pretty late, you okay, bub?” you ask him before answering your own question, “can’t sleep?” you know how he gets, always needing someone close by when he drifts off.
you can imagine it’s a bit difficult tonight, considering you spent the last few nights sharing his bed. you’d found it a little harder than normal too, having gotten used to his arms tucked around you, his face pressed against your shoulder blade.
“i miss you,” he mutters and it makes you blush, “and i don’t wanna crawl into bed with matt or nick, i know it won’t help,” he admits, letting out a long breath.
“you wanna come over?”
“would that be okay?” he seems a little bit embarrassed, like he might be inconveniencing you.
“of course, chris,” you open your eyes now, reaching over to turn on your bedside lamp, “i want cuddles now,” you say sheepishly, face still half pressed against your pillow, muffling the words.
“mmk, i’ll get an uber, be there soon,”
“kay, love you,” you sigh, waiting for him to hang up.
“love you too,” he says first, making you smile even if you’ve heard it a thousand times.
in the twenty minutes it takes for chris to show up, you’re drifting in and out of sleep, trying your hardest to keep the lull of exhaustion at bay as you wait, no matter the difficulty.
soon enough, the sound of a key in the lock sends a small jolt of wakefulness through you, and you anticipate the subtle push of the door as he comes through to your bedroom.
“nick or matt’s bed wasn’t good a enough?” you tease, watching him turn a little red as he shuffles into your room.
“i wanted to sleep in your bed,” he mumbles, beanie hanging low and covering his eyebrows, pajama pants hanging lower. he lifts the duvet and crawls in with you, immediately wrapping you in his arms, “nd’ i wanted to sleep with you, not my stinky brothers.”
you laugh, stifling it against the blankets “m glad you’d rather snug with me,”
“you kidding? you’re the best snugger around.”
“i’d say,” you hum, tugging his beanie off and tossing it somewhere on your floor.
he gives you a squeeze before reaching over to turn you so you’re facing him, “thanks for letting me come over,” he mutters, beaming in the low light. he looks so pretty like this, grinning down at you, illuminated by the soft glow of your lamp. he reaches up slightly and brushes your hair from your face.
you have a small moment of realization; he’s admiring you the same way you’re admiring him. you think your heart grows in size, gratitude making it swell up.
“thanks for comin’,” you whisper back, leaning up so your noses touch.
chris closes the gap, giving you a gentle kiss before pulling back and kissing your forehead too.
“night,” he tucks you against him, keeping you close, “i love you,” it’s sweet, how his tone changes. it’s tired now, chalked full of sleep and you can’t help but think it’s because he’s with you now, and that’s what puts him at ease enough to finally relax.
“i love you too,” you whisper into the barely-there space between you, watching as his eyes close and his lashes kiss the tops of his cheeks.
you can’t help yourself, leaning forward just enough to kiss him there too.
