I don’t own the Spamton plush but I obsessed about him enough to where I get the same affects as the average Spamton plush owner. Like this creature will be in my dreams, always out of focus in the background doing nothing. I wish he was being interesting, even causing a nightmare at this point but all he does is sit in my peripheral and watch while the actual dream occurs. He always gets blurrier the closer I get and suddenly vanishes the few times I can reach him, only to appear back in the corner of my vision.

This has been going on for a month and I don’t think it’s going to stop.

Hitting the Books

Before I started this quest I travelled to Whiterun stables and equipped the unicorn with Elven armour and registered them. The random named given was Thunder. This quest went quite easily as it was basically just a dungeon but with mages rather than dragur. The only difficulty was in not having access to healing spells but at this point I have collected several healing potions and food. When I got to the section with the vampires in cages I picked the locks and let them out so that they could combat the mages for me. This worked as I only had one mage in the next room to fight myself and was able to loot the bodies for gear. I also released Orthorn from where he was locked up and agreed to let him come with me as a temporary follower, letting him and his flame atronach tank for me. Once we reached the Caller's room I asked her if perhaps an arrangement could be made. At that she offered to let me go with the books if I left Orthorn with her. I agreed as it avoided the fight against her which I've always found annoying with her ability to teleport. I then left and returned the books to Urag gro-Shub and completed the quest.

Also note regarding the tie breaker for perk point (2) as one of the options tied is Restoration dual cast which won perk point (3) I have taken the tie as a win for Regeneration.

Hitting the Books | Kimbry

Revising season was, really, a welcome distraction to Henry. It was easier to be stressed about something like school, where the stakes were relatively low, where Henry thought he was rather good at the tasks at hand. Perhaps some other students might even want his help, he thought. So he had sent around a text to the other students in the law and criminology program to see if anyone wanted to study together. 

Kim, a second-year, had taken him up on it, much to Henry’s delight. They didn’t know each other very well, but she seemed to be passionate, too, about protecting the people of Swynlake, so Henry thought they would get along well.

“Right, so I’ve got this paper to work on, but I was thinking we could quiz each other on some of these case studies, if you’d like,” Henry suggested.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

#book 24 #the conversation between the gods at the beginning there is just this #greatest hits #all i say is vicious war crimes in a vague way #and you all start frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs #a lot of yall get the memo with the blorbo tags but also. seeing quite a few strange pulls #not exactly war crimes but Ok #sometimes normal vicious crimes can just be normal vicious crimes ok guys #can yall stop tagging this as israel u guys r fucking weird…. #if u see this and think it is a joke about actual fucking horrific war crimes and ethnic cleansing. u may be fucked up in the head #please be normal #will people stop commenting on this please. none of yall r funny

"i wish i could exfoliate my brain" you can. by reading things that challenge you.

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...

#the picture of dorian gray #lit #this is a pointless text post #guess what i read for the first time in the year of our lord 2023 #and yes this is a real review on storygraph that i took a screenshot of. you people are so stupid god bless #girl he literally censored it himself did your edition have 0 introduction or background at all #greatest (s)hits #book discourse

someone please help me find that quote about how someone was overwhelmed with the weight of the world and their problems when they were physically alone, but that weight felt like nothing in the presence of a friend and good conversation

me when the emotionally repressed character is revealed to have had something happen in their childhood that was completely out of their control but changed them in a way they can never come back from

#text! #did post this on twt but this belongs on the crying about characters website #and yeah this is about jarchivist and also marc spector in the mk show #idk it hit me yesterday that they were EIGHT AND NINE!!!!!!! when their respective thing happened and that ruined me #like it wasn't their fault but they think it is!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!! #holds those autistic bi men close to my chest #should've never smoked that shit* (*took my brother to a cave/read that book) #now im irrevocably changed* (*tied to the shittest god possible/destined to be the antichrist) #edit: this is getting a bit of traction so pls know that blorbo tagging and oc tagging is SOOO encouraged #thank you to the person who added the flaming text miles edgeworth thats so funny

What do you like about the Diasomnia boys if I may ask?

I always love hearing about the different reasons people enjoy characters.

I mean, c'mon. he has split custody over Sebek okay

also, Lilia in particular has maybe the best timeskip character development of all time

love when people say the locked tomb books are confusing. correct. that's what we're here for. tamsyn muir dumped us in the middle of the story and said "cope." we're lucky if we even know who our main character is.
