"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make them unable to live without the other person"

"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make one fall first and the other fall harder"

wrong. the secret to writing the perfect romance is to establish them as individual characters first, with their own personal aspirations and fears, before introducing them to eachother so the characters can fall for characters that were actually written to be characters instead of shallowly written to play a part in a romance story.

#idk if this makes sense but im willing to explaib #it rlly irks me when characters have no personality other than being in love with eachother #even worse when the character has such an interesting backstory that just wasnt touched on at all??? #ahem the night circus ahem #like bro celia's backstory had so much potential but all that was said was that her mom khs because she was unrequitedly in love with #celia's dad. oh and that celia's mom thought celia was creepy but like bro come onnnn can we touch on that piece of info more??? #so yeah #booklr #books #romance #vix's library #sleepy vix #it's funny because it's true

Have you ever drawn anything from Watership Down? The vibe of the story feels like it'd fit perfectly with your artstyle

Not in recent memory, but I should! Watership Down is probably my favorite book of all time, I've reread it in various points of my life and continue to resonate with it strongly.

#borrowed the film version of it from the local library a lot as a kid #or asked my mom to borrow it for me rather #she wasn't into it but she must've gotten it anyway because i distinctly remember seeing it a lot of times #answered #anonymous #Bigwig was always my favorite

Right today made my brain start thinking about demon lore so I did some research:

- BBH has hinted at being a fallen angel and is now a demon/grim reaper and while not ashamed, is secretive about it

- Tina basically confirmed she's a fallen angel or at least wasn't always a demon today and she is heavily ashamed of it and her "past of sin"

- Mouse is very comfortable and considers herself a natural demon with the Nether as her home (specifically Puerto Rico, canonically in hell)

And Mouse today said that natural demons aren't evil because that's just who they are while those turned demon are evil. And Tina basically implied that that was why she wasn't open about her identity because even other demons have those beliefs so how can she trust humans to not think of her like that.

However, cc!Mouse as a vtuber has demon lore that states she has an angelic form and the qsmp wiki states that shes a fallen angel of sorts (had a disagreement with god and was cast out) so if they are intertwined in some way:

1. We know more about Mouse Demon lore

And 2. All three of them are fallen angels (fell at different times: Bad the eldest, Mouse middle and Tina youngest)

So I think what Mouse means is that 'natural' demons also include fallen angels, since demons and angels are two sides of the same coin, and are just who they are, not inherently evil, but those that turn demon, like what happens when you get infected by black concrete, are evil. But because she has never explained about her potentially being a fallen angel and (while Tina does refer to the Nether as 'home') Tina doesn't think of herself as a natural demon like Mouse, there is a miscommunication and it's putting her into an even deeper well of internalised hate because even other demons would think of her as evil if they knew the truth of her past.

Also after today definitely it means that Tina is either lying about how much she knows of her past (which wouldn't be too much of a reach because she's hiding a major part of her identity that would be kind of hard to ignore) or they couldn't wipe the memories of the distant past so she remembers falling.

Today was a lot and I feel like I'm missing stuff but also it's 6am so I should sleep before this consumes my every waking thought.

#also shes now apparently colourblind and illiterate #i need bagi to confront her asap about the book in the library #she didnt look at the sign when she went over but lenay read it out loud so she definitely knows #this could all be wrong and mouse is doing slightly different lore in the qsmp so isnt a fallen angel #but i dont have the time to go back and watch all her streams for every mention of demon lore #also we just gonna ignore tina hearing bagi and immediately saying “mom?”?????? #excuse me???? #qsmp tina #qsmp mouse #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp 2024 #qsmp demons #qsmp #skipped the q!'s because its not easy to mistake this about cc's

Over the weekend me and my sister did this game where she’d name a bug/fruit/whatever and then we’d create characters for them along with little stories.

Oh! And bottom two characters are Celeste (Lunar moth) and Maude (stink bug) and they are in love :)

#my art #character concept #concept art #the story we came up with was the landtern bug lady works at a library #when she finds mr mosquito sneaking around #so she goes to Maude who knows everything about everyone (she’s kind of a toxic gossip but god we stan) #and finds out he works in the mod /)0o0(\ oh shit #but he donates a ton of library books and then she realizes he actually is there to see his estranged daughter #since he can’t come visit since her mom hates him #and also it would be really dangerous #and Celeste and Maude are gay the end #bug people #bugs

hello I am back with more Thoughts from this weekend that are mostly for me to read later because I am my own biggest fan and I run this blog exclusively for future katie

this trial was a HUGE exercise in trusting my dog and my training!!!!!!!! every time I opened a course map, I thought to myself “oh well we don’t have the skills for this, I don’t really have to try to Q on it.” multiple times, I told my friends that we could MAYBE make it happen on our absolute best day.

and then we ran the courses.

were we missing pieces? absolutely! especially distance sends, which I really have no cause or opportunity to train- that's to be expected. but there were also many, MANY pieces that I assumed to be lost causes that Jay nailed without a second thought!

case in point, our LAST EVER excellent standard run included a send to the table. looking at the map, I envisioned myself stuck behind the dogwalk, sending my dog out on a blind hope, and calling it a "well at least we had fun" run. walking it, getting to the table felt more doable but I was sure that a bar would be our downfall somewhere- out of the tunnel, turning on the pinwheel, and ending on a spread have all tripped us up before. I saw the run go wrong thirty times before I got Jay out of his crate.

but we ran it. and we ran it clean. and we held our own all weekend against teams from across the country, teams who train like it’s their job because it is.

we have the skills. we have put in the hours and the effort. it’s time to run it like I mean it!!!

#ndr #library #story behind the picture: as you can imagine I do not often take photos with Jay facing away from me #and I didn’t have treats so our trainer just shook a random bag that happened to be Mrs Bairds powdered sugar mini donuts #and after the pic she gave him one #let me tell you- Jay is risking it ALL for donuts now. I was dead to him #he literally refused to leave her side after that. that’s his new mom now

no but when mhok told day to think of his plate as a clock and told him where on the clock the food was that really reminded me of one of my favorite movies from when i was in middle school which is also about blind people and where the title of the movie itself is a reference to thinking of the plate as a clock: it's called "erbsen auf halb 6" which literally translates to "peas at half past 5" (yes, "halb 6" means "half past 5", yes the numbers are different, don't worry about it)

the plot of the movie is a theater director losing his eyesight in a car accident and him being a director who kinda needs to see what's going on on stage he really doesn't take his sudden loss of vision very well. he gets assigned a helper/mentor, a lady who is blind herself and who's been blind since birth and is supposed to help him adapt to a life with disability. he ultimately runs away from her when he learns that his mother is sick to go find his mother in russia and say goodbye before she dies. his helper/mentor chases after him and they end up on a travel adventure together

it's been over a decade since i last saw the movie but i think at some point they eat and they talk about how the peas sit on the plate where it would be half past 5 on a clock?? anyway, that moment with mhok and day at the restaurant where mhok tells him the position of day's food with the help of an analog clock really reminded me of that movie

edit: i went to look for the trailer of that movie and i found the scene in question!! turns out they're at a restaurant and the helper/mentor character goes "if you imagine the plate as a clock... what numbers is the food lying on?" and the waitress is all confused going "i'm sorry?"

there are no eng subs for the trailer buuut the moment is at the very end at 2:11:

see it's a real movie i didn't just make it up kjdfkjdfk

#god i need to rewatch that movie so bad it's been so long since i last saw it #i actually thought about this movie only recently!! #bc these two italian erasmus students were asking for german movie recs and i told them about this one #and now the scene with day and mohk at the restaurant reminds me of it too and #now i just feel this strong urge to go rewatch it #i vividly remember many scenes but there is no connection between them djgdkfjkfdg #i should really rewatch it during christmas break i think we have it on dvd??? #bc my mom found it in the library and we liked the movie a lot and i think she ended up buying it #i gotta check my parent's dvd shelf when i go home for christmas in a week #airenyah plappert #last twilight #lt ep5 #adrm #no but that movie also had this feature where they had an accessible version of it for people with low/no vision!!!! #which was the first time i'd ever seen a feature like this‚ up until that point i didn't know it existed #(i was like 12 or 13 or so i think when i first watched that movie) #(and (pre-)teen me thought it was really cool)

nothing I love more in a secondhand book than a note written to someone in the cover

#just opened a copy of decline and fall by evelyn waugh that i got at a secondhand place over christmas #and inside is a note in black ink that says #''merry reading mom -shaun '92'' #like i hope she enjoyed it #i hope it's what she wanted for christmas #i wonder if shauns still around #i wonder if his mom is #best writing i ever found in a book was in the back of one #where some kid wrote his name 3 times in different coloured metallic sharpie #like you just know that kid had to read the book for school and opened a fresh pack of sharpies #and wanted to see what they looked like and didn't give a shit about the book lol #wish i could remember which book it was #i have books from my great grandmother's collection #she had a stamp with her name that she put in every one #i wonder if someone will pick these books up at a secondhand store after i'm gone #and wonder who harley was #ooh i forgot i also have that copy of dr jekyll my dad stole from his high school library #that has his name written in it in pencil along with the names of like 3 other students with the year written next to each one #and on the opposite page the name of the high school that gave it to his high school #it's my favourite kind of history sorry i'm getting really into this

bitching abt my job again

tags contain frank mentions of transphobia and homophobia

#this happened like. i dont know. a month ago or something but i still keep playing it in my mind #for those unawares: theres been a fucking community outrage over the pride display at the library i work at #and have been working/volunteering at for 5 years #only it never went up. it never went up. bc the mayor came in as a quote unquote private citizen and demanded it taken down #despite the fact that patrons are required to fill out complaint sheets and even then it isnt ensured a display will be taken down #so obviously its a misuse of power that hes spinning into him being a concerned citizen #and i made a whole post bitching abt it and im doing so again (hi) bc i didnt like how our director responded to it #and yeah. so there was a board meeting after that right. well i set up for them as i usually do and let me tell you. that was the first #--time more than like 6 people came to spectate. it was insane. #and i guarantee that this months meeting wont have half as many people that fucking crammed themselves in there to complain abt gay ppl #bc of course they dont give a shit about the library #they just care about how scary the queers are #and yeah it was a shit show. i learned we have a far right organization in our town #and i was sat right in front of her husband the whole time #(standing actually. i was standing between him and my moms chair and he was sighing and grumbling the whole time bc he couldnt muster the #--balls to ask the 5 foot 2 fag in front of him to please move lol. small victories right) #when i say her i mean the leader of the freaks. idk. chairman? anyway she had a whole speech about how like queers are bad and cutting #the penises off little babies or whatever and she pulled up this passage from a book that was part of the display #its some book by the youtuber rowan ellis-- here and queer i think was the title. it was cataloged in our ya section and contained passages #talking about like having safe sex and what dildoes are and all that kind of shit. just really clinical descriptions imo. im not familiar w #--the youtuber really but im assuming they wrote it as informational bc shocker: teens be having sex. unsafe sex. especially queer teens #sourse: i was one of tgose #and...think for a moment. remember when you were a teen. youd rather fucking DIE than listen to your parents give you the sex talk #and chances are if youre gay your parents arent even going to know WHAT gay sex is (hugging without shirts on) so youre going to look #--elsewhere #bc if youre a hormonal fucking teen youre going to figure it out one way or another! especially if youre from (cough) a podunk shitwater #--town like mine that ran on abstinence by way of sex education #i think teens deserve to have access to that sort of information through trusted means. and i do mean het teens too #but no these fucking morons put on airs like everyones waiting till marriage--no! not my becky sue! as if they werent fucking around in #--holy shit i reached taglimit. i didnt ecen know there was one. hold on
