Reading The Way of Kings is really funny so far because you go from reading about Kaladin and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day(s) to Shallan and her sailor buddy Yalb's wacky book-buying adventure back to Kaladin about to fucking kill himself.

#the way of kings #the stormlight archive #kaladin stormblessed #shallan davar #i started reading this because 2 of my friends kept talking about it in Calculus #one of them had finished the series and was letting the other borrow the books so he could read them #i told him they sounded interesting from what i kept hearing them talk about and he offered to let me borrow the books to read too #so here we are #i am on page 265 #out of 1252 #and theres like 3 more books #wish me luck #mono talks

u would all engage with my art more if you knew I was such a cute and hot girl IRL but I keep it to myself bc I am so humble and don't want 2 be famous just 4 my looks

#kale mail #not art #I am going 2 the library to ask if they are hiring today wish me luck #Worst case scenario I leave with some books or something #Best case scenario they give me the job on the spot for being so niceys

Complete the 4 novels you're currently reading ❌❌❌

Start yet another novel because it seemed intriguing ✅✅✅

#orv is really good and i'm enjoying it a lot so far #but i feel like i need a little time away from it and contemplate on the tragedy of 1863 #i ploughed through that arc a little too fast and the feels are catching up with me only now #jeweller richard has been really good too but i seem to be incapable of reading it unless i'm outside. it's like my. touching grass novel #to paradise is wonderful and i love the worldbuilding and cannot wait for hanya yanagihara to work her magic on me again #but i also wanna read it sometime when i can be free of any distractions and let it consume me body and soul #maali almeida was so much fun i loved the writing and i really wanna finish it because it's the first book i started this year #but i can already tell i won't be able to finish it unless i get the physical copy😔#anyway this new book isn't too long and i can finish it within 2 days if i try hard enough #wish me luck🫡#cina's stuff #🍀

instead of letting myself get worked into a panic about the election today, i watched the good omens season 1 finale so i would have Big Emotions about gay tv show doomsday rather than potential irl doomsday

this is what we call the Fictional Men Tactic

#if the tv show/movie/book anxiety is louder than the Real Events anxiety it is over all more chill in your brain #versus giving yourself something funny to watch #where there will be hilarity. but. there will also be Lingering Dread #anyway tomorrow or thursday i start season 2 #wish me luck #good omens #us elections #election 2024

i think i made a post several months ago like "this is the year i finally finish reading the dark forest" --

right, backing up a bit. i bought the three-body problem (paperback) from the mit coop at the beginning of campus preview weekend 2016 and hauled it around campus everywhere in my silly little blue messenger bag i thought would Finally make me Look Cool[^1], but unfortunately it happened to rain a lot that weekend and my cheap shitty messenger bag was NOT waterproofed so not only did the book get wet and wrinkly and need to be squarshed flat again, the fore-edge is to this day stained with blue dye. but i read it and loved it and then bought the dark forest (paperback) at the coop as my Post-Finals Book Treatsie sometime in freshman year, and proceeded to NOT read it until i'd well and truly forgotten what happened in book 1. at which point i was like "hm i'd better reread three-body problem! guess i'll start that on the plane home"

longtime followers may remember the events of summer 2017, which i shan't recapitulate here; suffice it to say i didn't get a lot of reading done outside of the absolute baseline comfort rereading-every-diana-wynne-jones-book-for-the-twentieth-time, and shortly before my surgery this year i pulled three-body problem off my shelf and realized that 1) there was a bookmark 1/4 of the way through it 2) it was my fucking boarding pass from my may 2017 flight home, which really carbon-dates the last time i touched it. ANYWAY i finished it, went "cool! i will definitely read dark forest immediately!" and then......... read the first fiftyish pages and stopped, leaving it to languish on the pile AGAIN

BUT TODAY I FINISHED READING IT FOR REAL and now i have that good good scifi book hangover where i'm just kind of. staring at the wall thinking about it. might fuck around and blorbify luo ji and/or zhang beihai idk

[^1]: with time i've accepted that i'm never going to look cool, except maybe to a highly specific audience that can appreciate my rare vintage robotics startup t-shirts, and also that this particular bag was definitely not large enough for how bad i always overpack

#the trashcan speaks #i also had a little deal with myself that i couldn't buy book 3 until i finished book 2 #and i have now triumphantly ordered it #sadly not from the coop though. oh well #the new coop location has like jack shit for a fiction section anyway iirc :////#that was my emotional support post-finals book treatsie source...#anyway please wish me luck in successfully finishing death's end sometime before 2030

like, it’s not final til it’s finalized and i’m in the chair getting it done lbr, but i just heard back from one of the artists i put an inquiry in for my sleeve and she’s interested! :’) genuinely so excited to get it started, even if it’s quite a few months off.

#fourth inquiry is the charm i guess!#i still haven't even heard back from the other 3 #2 just ghosted after the initial response and closed up books #one is pretty notoriously bad at getting back to people it took 10 months for her to even respond for the stomach tat #in all honesty if it all goes smoothly i might ask this artist if she'd like to do the matching left sleeve down the road :')#i've been wanting sleeve tattoos for SOOOO long like lifelong goal for me #it's finally happening!!#my stuff #wish me luck for the 5 hr sessions hope they're super manageable for me #even if they're not i'll tough it out regardless but still wish me the luck

feeling extra lonely tonight

#tryign to make friends at work is hard esp when u hardly see each other bc schedule/dept conflicts #havent seen this guy im trying to ask out in like a week and a half and last i saw him we talked like 2 minutes bc we were both on the clock #n the other friend im making i usually just see at the tail end of my shift cuz they start later #n now that im working books i just dont see anyone. periodt #im not the kind to abandon my post to visit a dept i have no business in so its always like. well i sure hope we see each other !#MIGHT see one tomo if im lucky im gonna try to make conversation for more than 2 min this time wish me luck #if i dont see him i wont for like . another week #maybe longer #what was my personal tag again #''but marrow you can make friends in places that arent work'' thats so much HARDER #and ive tried. maybe not enough times but it sucks cuz most ppl just dont really pique my interest #too many times there have been ppl at work i have been interested in getting to know but i wasnt proactive enough abt interacting w them #and then they stop working there and its like whelp never seeing them again #so im trying to be more forward and active when i like someone. its fucking HARD but its working i think. maybe #''marrow what abt those opportunities youve had to hang out with new ppl that were enjoyable''#well thank you for asking dear voice in my head; those ppl i met were nice but they were not really ppl i was interested in knowing. ty #i am just an unlovable little prick surrounded by equally unlovable people

#I wanted to see some stuff bout the book n just looked for the name in tags #There is so much fuckin x reader stuff <:]#I think I am not really ready for that shit h.c has made too comfy w how stuff is done there #why would ya put that in the main tagssss <:]#I wanna keep looking but ik I'll end up pissed cause I haven't seen the mi.#the movie n. Like I wanna see if there is a fa.ndom n if there's like drawi.ngs of the kids #But I remembered that 1.- mi.ss p looks different in the movie. So so damn different #And that 2.im pretty sure all of the kids have different designs n just. <:]#welp wish me luck I gotta check but before that im blocking like 10 variations of the x rder shit #And I might be wrong abt how the movie is! I just don't really have the time or energy to see how it's made #maybe when i see it I'll like it n say wow it really is good! But since they even changed the damn #lo.ve inte.rest I'm just :l abt it. Cause why that girl??? She's a dam kid in the book!! She has fun n has #her little tiara n all! What says 'roma.ntic i.nterest abt that??#idk I'm salty abt that #That's like. All ik abt the movie n that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth #Edit ohohohooooooo there slore of em??? O thought there were only like 3! Hm this might have been worth it.#n just for the record I don't got anything against those x rder stuff it's just a tad bit annoying having to scroll tru all that when #It don't even have a readmore or something like that #This is all just me sayin my thoughts n I don't mean I'll by any of it
