When I got my copy of Unbecoming, I was a little distressed that how it was bound meant the act of reading it bent the pages. By the time there was a freak accident that upended an entire coffee cup on it, speckling the cover and every single page in a unique fawn pattern, I'd read far enough that I understood the book simply wanted to look like that.

sorry my dude maybe one day when someone in a book publishing company wants it we can get books with proper sewn binding and better layout but I am absolutely thrilled! that all just means that the book is being Read and that's far more important than it looking pretty and yes, all of that stuff is on the inside of the words too!

btw if you want to buy a copy of my very first prose book so you can read it and bend the pages and cover them in coffee you can get it right here!

Redraw of the cape post, because that entire concept deserved better than the illustration I gave it.

Man, I still remember participating in one of the many jjba zines that I took part in and how my piece was placed as the first page (for the second time) and how one of my mutuals/artists that I’ve always admired, hit me with the “oh… you’re on the front page again… 😅…” like man, that kind of killed me lmfao. I never got over it like man, what was that about.

Piracy discourse is always so incredibly funny to me as someone who learned to pirate almost instantly upon starting using the Internet. Well, okay, maybe a couple years later. At most.

OKAY STOP IT TURNS OUT THAT THE TWST MANGA IS IN FULLY BOOKED ALREADY AND MY FRIEND FOUND IT

she wasn't able to find book 1 help that's fine I already know what happens

And my friend was like "hey Rany want me to buy this for you" and I replied " girl u sure that's usually expensive" AND APPARENTLY 727 PESOS IS A PRICE SHE'S WILLING TO PAY (well really her dad's paying) BUT STILL SHE JUST SAID "I saw this and it reminded me of you so yeah"

And she really did buy it guys, I'm gonna get the book on tuesday when I get back to school

I really don't deserve her as a friend but that's by far the sweetest thing I heard this evening, I love her so much 😭🩵

Danglars trying (quite successfully, it must be said, despite annoyances along the way) to manage the other two is such a funny scene, honestly. Especially when drunken Caderousse is interjecting too often and he actually starts praising Dantes (how dare!) and poking holes in the argument.

He's getting so annoyed. It goes from trying to tell him to let them do the talking now:

"My good friend," Danglars remarked, "you are three-quarters drunk; go the whole way and finish the bottle. Drink, but don't interfere with our business, because you need a clear head for what we're doing."

to saving/redirecting the conversation after his next comment:

Fernand rose impatiently to his feet.

"Let him babble," said Danglars, putting a hand on the young man's arm. "And, for that matter, drunk as he is, he is not so far wrong. Absence separates as effectively as death; so just suppose that there were the walls of a prison between Edmond and Mercedes: that would separate them no more or less than a tombstone."

to just outright getting openly annoyed:

"In any event," Caderousse continued, "why they should they put Dantes in prison? He hasn't stolen anything, killed anyone, committed any murder."

"Shut up," said Danglars.

He is SO DONE with this guy ahahahaha.

Internet Archive: Rally on the steps of the Internet Archive!!

This Saturday! April 08, 2023

Battle for Libraries sign up if you are going to attend the rally!

If you can't attend/can't make it that is completely fine! You can check for the live updates on Twitter by Internet Archive following the hashtag #DigitalRightsForLibraries

"...Make & share a rally sign & tag @internetarchive. Need a suggestion? Try: - Internet Archive is a Library For Everyone! - eBooks are Books..."

Here is a post with info better summarizes of what is happening to the Internet Archive

To summarize in case you have no idea what is going on (or just don't want to read the link). Four (4) book publishing companies HarperCollins, Wiley, penguin random house LLC, and Hachette book group are suing the Internet Archive because during the pandemic their sales of books did poorly. So they are blaming Internet Archive, a library for the internet, for their poor sales because they believe their system for ebooks is flawed. Even though it's the exact same system as any old library with a library card.
