felt adventurous today and may or may not have drove over 100 km (and dragged my family with me) to splash around at this beautiful lake...

(not pictured: me finally figuring out how to stand on my paddle board without near capsizing like an idiot and feeling very accomplished lol)

Not the one I'd have put money on being the surprise yandere of BM, but in retrospect should have seen the potential there.

I will drop a ton of Red White and Royal Blue book quotes later but. For now? I am just. So floored by how good the romance is written. Once you read honestly genuine good depictions of love? Where the demonstrations of healthy love, love between flawed realistic people where thing work out because they're doing their best to communicate and help each other and understand each other and be vulnerable and accepting? Fuck. My standards for reading other romances are so HIGH now.

I just read a chapter idk around page 230. Where Alex doubts he's good. And the whole thing is Henry understanding his mess of words and being able to respond in acceptance and comfort, with the words "you are good."

Fuck. I've had dreams where the most romantic thing I ever heard? Was that. You are good. You are good. Fuck me. This is so perfectly written as far as genuine loving depictions go I'm just so beyond coping right now.

My standards are just. Going to be SO picky after this. Even writing my own story, I'm fucking re-evaluating now! I'm like oh damn what do I want to do to contrast some relationships with others that are more truly demonstrating love? Wow.

(Also unrelated, but I love the decision to put significant politics into the book. I don't know the authors background or if they intended to give Alex his own separate sort of opinions and struggles that the actual author wouldn't relate to as much. But I find the discussions regarding idealism versus realism in political decisions, campaigning for northern votes versus southern, experience of latino Americans versus northeastern WASP, the way stuff like grassroots campaigning and independent candidates are viewed depending on the person contemplating them, the way college education and nepotism bleeds into people's political assumptions, there's just a Lot of honestly very Real stuff about political arguments within the US. In the American democratic party I've seen so many of these debates and discussions on what's right or better or what to do or when we should argue, and Alex's whole bit about southern democrats being forgotten and not campaigned to and helped really hit, along with his mention at the end that "You don't get to pretend it's someone else's problem, none of us do" it's true. Regardless of the internal debates, it's not someone else's problem it's all of ours, it's all of our lives, our country. For a lot of obvious reasons the movie just could not delve into political aspects nearly as much as the book, and I'm really impressed with the books decision to make as much commentary on it as it does. I've never seen it done before in a romance story. I've never seen it done before in a Not West Wing story frankly, but that could be my fault for not seeking out political modern fiction? Also the minor thread of older generations like his parents and Luna versus Alex and idealism, that's been a huge conversation as long as I've been alive and probably an eternal political discussion.)

i know gillion is quite literally dying but i do still think it’s funny that they just decided to run with the fact that he turned red from drinking so many health potions. like if he drinks enough orange juice will he turn orange. is this just a thing he can do

[sludgeguzzler]

im so glad im getting better lately and thinking of the future as full of possibilities and options. what really keeps me going lately has been thinking about graduating high school and moving out and going to college, getting a job, living my life normaly and on my own pace, which is such a big change from the plans i had made just a few months back. im feeling sorta hopeful about my future for once and its great. i want to grow old now. its great
