I walked into Goodwill.

walked out with a pair of genuine Sai

#SO #I was with my mom shopping at goodwill #I’m basically there for emotional support #And #we mostly look at books and CDs #And I’m walking past a shelf #And I’m like #YOOOO #I run up to the sai sitting hooked on the shelf and eagerly picked them out #And to my even bigger surprise #These guys are HEFTY #AND REAL #And I start freaking out and stuttering trying to show my mother #I literally got so hyped that I started drooling #No joke #and my mom looks at me with huge metal things in my hands and is like #???#and I start yapping #And I put them in the cart after infodumping about these things #And there’s an older couple standing close to me #Giving me a dirty look #I guess they were also looking at them #But they didn’t make any moves sooo #Like I got them first #But they FOLLOWED US #Kind of #i was being paranoid #But if looks could kill #I’d be dead #Also I hate eye contact and these folks out here like a Wild West film

Made a post about my tag list only to be faced with the most beautiful tags to ever exist

he's just that babygirl. like cmon really look at him.

that man is too dumb of ass to do any real harm and we all know it

@rbbess110

#... tag rambling...#But that's actually a pivotal part of the story #My beloved mutual the fact that you forgor that he was the antagonist due to my writing is half the reason I am writing the story. /pos #That you see him as a person and not just a bad guy despite his first introduction to you being his literal murder playlists #Just speaks to how well I've conveyed that. And that's honestly a huge compliment #You and the MC of the book im writing are in the same boat. Yeah he's a freak and a monster but you just see him doing shit and you're like #ah... thats a guy....... /loving #The fact that he doesn't fit into a ridged antagonist box is going to make it all the more devastating at the end btw. Saying it now #I won't spoil it for you but this is good. If you've managed to get this attatched from just my incessant rambling #You will be crushed when you realize what he actually is capable of.#Intentional or not.#And that is the heart of the first book/pos #Something something you can try to separate man from monster but really we're all just different shades of capable of the exact same horror #You get it im sure.#castalk #coutalk #couteau my beloved go back into your box #bists #Blood is sweeter than silence

finished dead until dark and idk when eric got popular but i can see why. bill and sam are both creeps fr while eric is just there to be sexy and send her flowers shaped like pussy as she's laid up in the hospital

#bill is actually a huge freak in this book which i'm living for #like most vampire human romances the vamp is scary in the romantic way with the occasional bouts of blood lust antisocial behavior #and possessiveness. which bill does display but charlaine harris' writing is so blunt and to the point that any sort of prosey haze most #authors use to soften up the vampire love interest isn't there so he just comes off genuinely inhuman #now maybe my perception is skewed because i know he's just scamming her but i find it compelling #and sookie being so into him just makes me like her more #wow i'm saying something nice about bill compton in 2024 life is crazy #svm

raven is a rose lalonde if rose was raised by striders and developed a sudden hatred for wizards

#critism not accepted #rwby #strq #qrow branwen #raven branwen #you cannot tell me qrow was not a dave elizabeth strider during beacon #qrow thinking hes cool and mysterious and has to keep his cool street cred up at all times like hes not the weirdo in the corner #mumbling to himself and word vomits when stressed and collects dead things that tai yells at not to leave arnd and is a huge gimm reaper #fanboy. he gets into shitty rap music and is the absolute bane of everyones existance thinking hes got bars #raven isnt free of critisim shes full of dry sass and sarcasm like rose #she thinks shes also mysterious and cryptic and full of secrets beyond the comprehension of these soft bellied kingdom folks #she pretends shes /above/ reading a book shes doesnt need to /read/ raven branwen scoffs at the very idea of such a useless hobby #summers ya dark fantasy books suddenly go missing for weeks #only to reappear chikn scratch scribbled on notes and fifty pages of criticism that woulda made her teachers proud #summer politely threatens murdr for writing on her books but is very interested abt ravens thoughts on complaceny of the learned #raven thinks the author is a pretentious pixie dust sniffing wizard fe/tish freak of an asshole. she has a 100 page essay of critism done i #in a week

Ngl, I feel a little too self-indulgent with Clarice sometimes. At the very least, she's easily outclassed by almost every other vigilante in Gotham. Idk, I've had the vigilante idea in my head for over a year, but I do sometimes play around with her remaining with Jon, but I'm too attached at this point so 🤷‍♂️

#shiversverse #oc: clarice keeny #ughhhhh my brain keeps doing the thing where i post something about my ocs and then get anxious about them being too self-indulgent #i mean i guess i can have both options being canon for SV considering comic books love bullshit about alternate timelines and whatnot #i think looking at all those mary sue litmus tests back in the early 2010s melted my brain #i mean i think i've suitably nerfed her from being unrealistic for the medium considering she really only gets along with Steph #i think i want to keep her from most of the major rogues gallery and let her fight the more obscure members #i have a huge soft spot for random villains that only show up in the 90s #might let her fight film freak due to the whole “scream queen” and horror film connection #or tally man (i read an issue or two with him for knightfall is he even canon anymore??)#welp now i'm rambling

man looking for books makes me feel like an absolute idiot. Yeah I like everything but the stuff I don't like. Hope that helps

#wordstag #it's so freaking. Particular also. Be normal freak #huge fan of fiction but also had a moment where i decided i hated fantasy and never got out of that moment #i like fantasy probably i think but me in that moment decided i was sick of world building and we never got out of that #and i don't like raw fiction it needs to be like. Something that could reasonably happen in real life while still being mildly unreasonable #yk?#nothing i could go out on the street and see or whatever . But it would be funny if I did #i think i need to go read some good fantasy books though fantasy is such a goated genre #the . The potential.......#also needs 2 be a story about people but if the people are completely uninteresting and flat Well #but beyond that it needs to have those themes and motifs shit and they need to be Not In Your Face #i think mystery is pretty fun like in concept but i haven't read very much . Good mystery as of late #ROMANCE would be so baller if it wasn't so about romance yk. Which is just a me problem #i think romance has insane potentials to explore a person's psych and whatever but it just. Never hits for me.#and sometimes it's not even a romance book and like they jsut start going at it like come on now. Not in public eye roll emoji #i would like romance more if it was less about smashing faces and more about the inherent intimacy of romance yk #imagine opening up your heart to someone that shit is fucked up . I could talk for hours about romance but it would never be about romanceT #it's like the romantic movement from hit century like 18th maybe. Those are my Guys #anyway love romance as a concept but i think there's a bit too much hype around it. We should chill a bit. Look at the stars and shit #ok where was i going with this actually

Jean Moreau woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on his blinds, cascading over his long, naked torso. He stretched, his wingspan spreading for miles as he greeted the sun. He rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, his arms far too long for the sleeves. He talled gargantuanly to the stairs, and longed downwards.

#after 3 books of the shortest fully grown male mc i’ve ever read #i hope everyone calls jean a huge giant freak #thinking about neil calling andrew pint sized #you’re not much better buddy #jean moreau

i just think more people need to remember u can draw your favs less conventionally attractive and it would subtract nothing from their character.. in fact it even makes them cooler. give them some acne and crooked teeth and a hooked nose and moles all over and eyebags. it adds so much charm and even if it doesn't (to you) that's fine because people aren't all meant to look like they walked fresh off a billboard

#txt #i'm soo tired of every character being called pretty. i know that freak would not look like that #this is mostly about kdj. i saw someone call him pretty the way he is in the webtoon and no offense but that's not what he looks like #just. 99% of the characters in the webtoon having perfect milky pale skin and tiny thin noses and huge shiny eyes pisses me off so much #never mind what they did to the body types where every guy is a fucking upside down triangle and all the women look like thin hourglasses #they would not fucking look like that ok!! especially jhw. she is one of the strongest solo incarnations in the whole book and yet there is #not a single ounce of muscle on her in the webtoon. do you understand #dont even get me started on kdj and his whole deal regarding narrow shoulders

I'm so obsessed with that concert that i don't even have enough brain capacity to stress about everything around it

#a 5 hour train ride getting to the airport with multiple transfers? who cares?!#the overwhelming unfamiliar and stressful environment of the airport not knowing exactly where to go? I'll get through it ahaha #taking the bus to the inner city? easy enough. checking into the hostel taking a shower in the shared bathroom and going to bed? will #certainly be no problem!#like. i keep having the anxiety that they might not have reserved the room for me after all because i only got a booking confirmation #from the booking platform but not the hostel itself so usually I'd be freaking out #but rn I'm really just. omgomgomgomgomg bastilleconcertbastilleconcertbastilleconcert #mentally i'm already there #so much for not getting my hopes up and not getting excited to avoid disappointment #babe have you forgotten about the queuing issue? apparently‚ because i totally see myself in the front quarter of the crowd!#theres a huge chance i end up in the very back or off to the sides or wherever else i won't see anything because i don't know #how concerts work when i can't stand around in front of the venue for several hours before the doors open #ahhhhhhh #((what if they actually cancel it?? my optimism about this concert taking place is way too dangerous #better get all worried and stressed!#BUT I CAN'T! THERE'S A BASTILLE CONCERT IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS!!! I HAVE TO SCREAM INTERNALLY IN UTTER EXCITEMENT UNTIL I GET THERE!)#void screams #bastille

Today I managed to unpack seven boxes, not that you can really tell. I did more than that though.

There is a very tall and very wide stack of boxes in what's technically supposed to be the dining room that are mostly full of books. It's been my dream to get them unpacked and on shelves since I moved in here. It's finally (slowly) happening.

Today I sorted through about a third of them. I pulled a few books from some, whole boxes from the pile, and repacked several others. The stack is now slightly shorter but takes up the same footprint (about half those books are either staying downstairs or need to be donated once I get the time to sit and consider them). I took as many of the craft books, star wars books, and manga that I collected in high school and college and moved them to the living room. From there the manga all went upstairs (since that's the bookshelf I started with and it empties boxes quickest). My partner thought I was crazy from moving them upstairs, but a lot of what I have isn't necessarily family friendly and some was reselling for quite a bit of money a few years ago. And since the work room can be closed off if we ever have guests over it makes the most sense. Their art books and gaming books are going to go into the loft along with my scifi and fantasy collection, while downstairs will remain reference books, gardening manuals, kids, and cookbooks. Yes, I've been planning this out for a very long time.

I'm going to have to go buy extra shelves soon, and possibly more magazine boxes but that's okay. And at some point I need to sort through what's in the loft and start moving things around. Just need to remember to wear my knee and elbow braces next time I start moving books; my joints are protesting right now.

#birdy tries to be a good adult #seeing all my books today reminded me of the time my aunt tried to convince my grandma to make me throw out my manga #because she found it offensive despite it not being in her direct sight #but her kids would go and hunt it down and read the ones i had hidden behind others #and since a lot of those were yaoi and boy's love she would freak out #like it was my fault that my male cousins insisted on breaking the look on my bedroom door and reading my private books #and yes my grandma knew what i read and while she didn't understand why she didn't care #i earned the money for them by working around the house and helping her with medical treatments #she knew how much the books physically cost and also how much i loved them #so she told my aunt that if she had a problem she needed to watch her kids better #caused a huge fight too lol #my partner knows about them too and also doesn't understand nor cares #in fact they've often asked me if i have certain ones if we find them at used bookstores #and been shocked when one was selling for fifty bucks and someone bought it while we were there

yeah, that’s it. i can’t stand modern popular ya lit.

#memorie.txt #i’m sorry i’m not done being a little booktok hater‼️‼️ i never will be #i feel there are two camps that book readers fall into and one is popular stories that are regurgitated fairy tale ‘retellings’ w no soul #and no attempt to revitalize it #and the other are ppl that want to read abt little freaks.#idk i trust ppl more when they have Widely And Critically Acclaimed Novel on their top 5 list and right next to it is Book Never Heard Of #like.. idk if i’m coming across as clear but honestly can’t stand anyyyy books in the ya section rn #mirror visitor honey please come out of the ya section you deserve better than this #((though i think a huge problem w ya lit rn is that it’s all written by white female authors… i’m sorry you are very white and straight #it’s soooo easy to tell.))
