moodboard of how to motivate me into doing something monumentally stupid

#I made an alt for it which would feel like cheating #if it weren't for the absurd amount of effort I'll have to put into it #like months and months I'd assume #anyway I'm excited #fallen london #flmp #smen #seeking mr eaten's name #mp #are there any other tags I should put on related posts for smen? #definitely not planning to post story spoilers ever #more like gleefully anguished vague posting #thank you to the kind person who got me started with a betrayal #shows up to the fandom 14 years late and immediately fixates on the worst possibly option

i unfortunately do not own any green clothes (apart from socks) so instead i'm wearing some green jewelry and did my makeup green (with a hint of pink for the dancers)

cha cha cha am i right

#yes i Will be drinking a piña colada tonight #we also have some green snacks and wraps #i also put glitter on my face which doesn't appear to be visible in these selfies #and i painted my nails black (i don't have green nailpolish and i'm not buying any just for this #but käärijä's nails are both green and black so it counts #anyway i'm excited #eg posts #eg portraits

have a brand new email account for grad school which means i have the opportunity here to actually be organized for once in my life

#by which i mostly mean i'm going to make a new folder every time i get a new type of email #i've just got newsletters and it notifications so far bc it's only existed for a couple weeks #anyway i'm excited #kelcey is an operational human being #anyway i'm trying to add 'productive helpful' time to my daily schedule and going through emails will be a good occasional task to fill it

my mom and my sister went out and got a bunch of stuff for the kitchen and basically decorated my entire bathroom in the new apartment and it hasn't quite hit me yet but I might cry about it later

#alex says things #we have a can opener #and super cute table settings and cups #that kind of match??? #anyway i'm excited

FINALLY starting Thick as Thieves

it is once again time for my bullet point comments. chapter one:

hasn't even started yet and i love the epigraph. "We think we steer the ship of fate, / but all of us are guided by unseen stars" - there are things threaded together here that i can't see but i know i will LOVE

Kamet's voice is so casual but it's so interesting (and horrifying) to see how his perspective has been informed by his place as a slave. he doesn't grab the wall for support because he'll have to see his own blood for (presumably) weeks. he sees Nahuseresh's beating as a consequence of his own stupidity rather than his master's cruelty. i know there's more of those moments later and they will make me laugh and they will make me cry inside.

the image of Kamet, shaking and sick after Nahuseresh's appraisal, even though he's bandaged Kamet, because he's still the abuser - gross. effective, but makes me shudder.

Kamet is so smart. i guess you could call it calculating - and there is some of that there - but there's something else, something about being able to understand people, to look ahead and anticipate the outcomes, that's not so malignant.

Kamet always assumes that Nahuseresh knows about the loans. wonder what else Kamet assumes? (theory: fatal flaw - assumptions?)

Ornon mention makes my heart warm!

first costis/kamet interaction is a DISASTER. EUGENIDES. COSTIS. WHY.

"My king wants your master to suffer the loss of his right hand" / costis. what do you think that sounds like. there's a reason why kamet's so freaked.

"[The Attolians] weren't very civilized" / omw. Kamet. you've got some pride my friend.

"He could have just spoken in Attolian" / are you TELLING ME that Gen had Costis learn Mede for NOTHING. later. they will all laugh about this i hope.

"...they were all still memorizing their poetry because none of them knew how to read." / KAMET. this is going to be the worst road trip ever for these two. besides being an ignorant generalization, maybe a strong oral storytelling tradition is a good thing culturally and socially, Kamet?

kind of want to write a meta on the role of Laela in this book. like. that moment that she lies to Kamet - it's kind of the crux of the plot, right? it's so subtle but it's so important and he believes her because he has no reason not to (ooh BELIEF in these books is another thing. mmm). if Ornon or Costis tried to lie in the same way, Kamet might take it differently.

"There had been a number of imperial dinners that were the stuff of nightmares." / now I want to know more about the Mede. what are their politics like?

some nobility from Kamet as he's thinking through which slaves would be tortured because of the poisoning - and how he could spare them some suffering by leaving now.

"...the lie easy on my lips" / so Kamet has the ability and the experience to lie. INTERESTING. not like Costis or Sophos, the last two narrators.

#this is so long i'm so sorry #thick as thieves #queen's thief #silverysong reads queen's thief #maybe i'll split chapters up like i did for KoA? #anyway i'm excited

i hate what bingeing culture has turned the consumption of media into. the pressure to watch everything all at once as soon as it drops otherwise you simply can't go onto social media or 'it's your own fault, you should know better!', the way it forms a dread around shows you know you can't watch straight away because of life commitments when you should be excited for them, and the way buzz only lasts for a few days before inevitably, everyone moves on and forgets about it. i just wish i could return to the excitement of weekly releases that kept me guessing for months on end and fostered a discussion around media

#i'm just.. feeling a certain way today #as we get closer to tua releasing this week i should be excited but instead i'm just like #great i have no time to watch it (bc they're dropping it on a weekday like wtf???) #and i will inevitably get spoiled in the time it takes me to watch #and it's just SO annoying #i want to be excited but this release and consume content immediately has taken the fun out of media for me #anyway i'll stop rambling #i'm just v tired and in my feelings #1k #didn't expect this to take off but i'm glad it resonates with so many people!!! #thanks for coming to my ted talk
