5 and 12 for the ask game!

Thanks for the ask <3

5 - What's a scene you read this year that sticks with you?

Answered this one in previous post :)

12 - Did any book inspire you to create?

Yes absolutely!!! Reading always inspires me to write, and yes I did draw some embarrassing fanart of my fav characters that will probably never see the light of day 🫡

1. Did you set a goal for yourself this year? How did you do? If not, why not?

5. What's a scene you read this year that sticks with you?

16. Most read trope this year? Was this intentional or unintentional?

Hiii thanks for the ask !! Sorry for taking 100 years to answer <3

1 - I actually make a point never to set goals because I find it can lead to kind of a toxic mindset and I just want to read for fun, I really dislike the way some online spaces like booktok make reading into a competition. I think everyone should just read what they enjoy at the pace they choose :)

5 - Omg there are so many but I can’t talk abt them without spoiling the books :,)))) There are some particularly beautiful scenes in The Name of the Wind which deal with the protagonist’s grief after a traumatic event that really stick with me. Also “If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more” from Jane Austen’s Emma.

16 - I don’t really pay much attention to tropes tbh, although if I try to find a pattern within the books I loved, most revolve around some kind of tragic guy who suffers in a cool fantasy world, also a lot of intrigue plots

For those of you who never knew as it's a detail one can easily miss (especially depending on which aspect ratio you're viewing in) but a lovely detail at that: Pippin was in the hobbit band in the background!

He's the one playing the banjolele!

These shots I have of the scenes where he is most visible are from the Fullscreen edition (A DvD I own and often watch for the different viewing experience). I believe in the Widescreen edition their heads are cut off by the aspect ratio-- so it's easy to miss!

And for those of you who haven't put it together already, yes! That is our beloved Merry standing next to him as they both watch Frodo dance.

Mind you, Merry is not in the band. A few scenes prior he was actually along the precession line of bringing in Bilbo's Birthday cake. He probably came up to the platform to talk to Pippin, give him a mug of something to drink and inevitably snatch him away for some mischief. Because after this brief scene, Pippin is then absent from the stage-- he and Merry are going to go swipe some fireworks!

hate when people are like "trust your gut! listen to your intuition!" like okay well my gut is telling me every person i lay eyes on is hunting me for sport and my intuition is saying i should find a secluded cave and live there forever so what do you suggest i do with that information

[theghostofbean]
