“But most of all, she remembers what happened to Gretchen and how everything got so fucked up back in 1988, the year her best friend was possessed by the devil.”

kind of unfortunate that so many fantasy epics are also war novels because i will be honest i just do not like war novels that much... the grand clashing of forces is compelling obviously but it requires characters to talk about so much practical battle strategy and while i can get my brain to comprehend all these fantasy maps and kingdoms and borders and battalions and front lines and army movements it takes up. so much space in the book. feels like i'm fighting a war of my own trying to get through it sometimes

Do gay people even know about Birdy?

Once every couple months I remember these dudes and they take over my whole mind

I am BEGGING people to read or watch Birdy

I'm in love with queercoded old fiction. And these pictures don't even begin to show how queer it is. Not to mention it's one of the best portrayals of complex PTSD I've ever seen

There's a part where Birdy gets 2 birds specifically with the intention of having them mate and have babies and he names them Birdie and Alfonso after Al and himself. HELLO????

blue beetle vs carapax, i thought it was cool they brought him out of obscurity for the movie. sometimes i feel like i was the only one who read that 1986 book

everyone lied to me about the bergman brothers these books are kind of bad

[aphel1on]

the most autistic thing i've done in the past year is when i typed out a transcript of the text from the entire main storyline in Pokemon Legends: Arceus into a wordpad document, complete with basic image descriptions, and then i didn't even write the fanfic which was supposedly the reason i started that whole project in the first place

[frodothefair]

Friendly reminder that Elijah Wood was Ben Gunn in one of the many cinematic versions of Treasure Island, and he played him as balls to the wall INSANE. It was amazing.

Methinks this is what may have happened if Frodo kept the Ring and escaped into the wilds of Harad.

Hey, Cinderella Boy fandom, do u guys have a spoiler tag I can block? 👉👈

I’m a peon who only reads the free chapters since I can’t afford fast pass, and I wanna make sure I don’t accidentally spoil the story for myself while scrolling through the tag

glad to see that d3 vid made it to you as well because ohmigosh... i've watched it like 6 times already and it's still just as wild and good as the first time. like the way they all had an answer?? imagining them sitting around having conversations about who they'd like to marry on the team - not to mention the way babies were mentioned more than once. these kids are/have been on tumblr and ao3, they know what's up lol

(also side note one of the guys who said mason, he said it was bc mason was a good cuddler which sent me too - so you guys have cuddled. regularly. like WOW.) not even gonna talk about the one who picked his brother though wanting someone to do your taxes is so real

rotating "hopeless romantic + old school" in my mind, like what does that even mean?? flowers and chocolates and kissing you goodnight at your dorm room? does he pull out a chair for you before you sit down? idk, it was such a sweet and genuine answer

tldr i love them all and can we get more teams doing this please? i've never paid attention to d3 in my life but suddenly i need to know more

every time i watch the video i just start laughing so hard, it brings me so much joy and i cannot thank kasper moregraceful enough for bringing it into all of our lives 🥺 *

AND now i get to pitch that i think everybody should watch more college/local hockey to have that type of joy all the time!!! tickets are usually pretty decently priced, you get your narratives right in front of you (my notes app has some. thoughts) and you get the same emotional attachment and watch your guys develop throughout their careers!!! a lot of the time you can find really fun social media for college teams in particularly because of student media programs but if you are not already an ahl watcher: may i recommend stalking their youtube channels. lehigh valley phantoms spelling bee videos are one of my favorite things in the entire world and the milwaukee ads have a lot of fun content too!!

Can you share a link to the Andrew A Smith interview you mentioned? I’m intrigued

hell yeah!

here's the interview, and there are some really good hits out of it that really reshaped my approach to how I write, but this part of one of his answers specifically is what I keep in mind when I get to editing

In writing the story though I never for a moment entertained the possibility that what was happening to Jack wasn’t real. I always wrote, from my perspective, that everything that was happening to him was absolutely real.

I struggle a lot with the impulse to reign in my own ideas to try and make them more package-able, even though I'll ultimately drop the story from my creative shelf because I'm no longer interested in working on it when I do that. later, I'll usually think back to the above quote, and I'll add back in whatever I cut out that I thought was too much, and ultimately find that makes the story I want to tell what it needs to be. be unflinching, etc.

i get to start my hill house reread tomorrow. AHHHHH‼️

twitter trigun fan account bigolas dickolas wolfwood recommending the book how we lose the time war and leading to a huge jump in sales for it is not the crossover i ever thought i'd see but it is not unwelcome at all

[boookfreeak]

if I had a nickel for everytime I've read the sentence "It is a truth universally acknowledged that" in a book, I'd have too many nickels to count, because it has happened too many times to count
