not to be sooo insanely sappy on main but there’s something so beautiful about the intergenerational life of stories. did you know their are fairy tales older than civilizations. my mother told this story to me and i tell it to you and off it goes forever and ever. there’s a thumbprint of you in every tale you drift through did you know that?

#as a kid i read my mother’s copy of finn family moomintroll.#all the pages are falling out now. i think if you look close enough i could find scraps of her childhood inside #i love the old kingdom books but i only got into them after my (much older) half cousin bought me sabriel.#we’d never met before that but he said it was what he read under the covers when he was my age #when i was in grade seven and just-thirteen and scared i used to leave sticky notes with my favourite lines on inside library books.#i don’t know if anyone found those sticky notes. i hope so #idk. idk. its just nice to think about sometimes. the tale is not beautiful unless something is added to it so we add ourselves #queue gotta be kidding me #home cooked hijinks
