the time has come my friends,

i am now reading percy jackson for the first time in my life (yes i’m a fiend i know, but at least i’m reading it now) and oh my god i already know i am going to love this book because this kid, i-

it is the literal first chapter - not seven, not five, but the very first one - and:

‘Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that. I could start at any point in my short miserable life to prove it’

‘See, bad things happen to me on field trips. Like at my fifth-grade school, when we went to the Saratoga battlefield, I had this accident with a Revolutionary War cannon. I wasn’t aiming for the school bus but of course I got expelled anyway’

‘Looking back on it, I wish I’d decked Nancy Bobofit right then and there. In-school suspension would’ve been nothing compared to the mess I was about to get myself into.’

‘From her first day, Mrs Dodds loved Nancy Bobofit and figured I was devil spawn’

‘Finally, Nancy Bobofit snickered something about the naked guy on the stele, and I turned around and said, “Will you shut up?”’

‘I gave her my deluxe I’ll-kill-you-later stare.’

‘All I could think of was that the teachers must’ve found the illegal stash of candy I’d been selling out of my dorm’

‘My lunch must’ve been contaminated with magic mushrooms or something.’

YOU’RE TWELVE

i swear if i had the words to articulate how much this is my type of bullshit

Imagine this ...

Nicky’s really into joke books. Erik sends him one for his birthday during his final year of college and he can’t stop reading them out to the Foxes at any given opportunity.

His sole mission in life becomes to make Andrew smile at one of his terrible jokes. He pops up, book in hand, going, “hey Andrew, what kind of cheese can you use to hide a horse?

“Mascarpone!”

Neil’s never heard crappy jokes like this before; he never had the opportunity while on the run to be exposed to mindless comedy. He finds them hilarious, and giggles at them with a childlike joy. He’s usually in the room when Nicky’s trying (and failing) to involve Andrew in a Knock Knock joke, and starts joining in from a corner in order to hear the terrible punchline.

Andrew doesn’t care about Nicky’s annoying, failed attempts to make him smile as long as he keeps coaxing that gleeful laughter out of Neil.

Neil starts researching his own jokes and telling them to Andrew when they’re alone. Andrew doesn’t mind nearly as much as he thought he would, and even indulges Neil with a “who’s there?” on occasion.

One day they’re in the locker room together and Andrew goes, in the most deadpan voice, “what’s the difference between ignorance and apathy?”

Neil just blinks at him, because he’s sure Andrew just started telling him a joke. “What’s the difference?” he asks finally.

Andrew sits across from him and leans back against the lockers. “I don’t know and I don’t care.”

And Neil gets it. And it’s just so Andrew. And he is delighted. He grins so wide he thinks his face might crack as his shoulders shake with silent laughter, partly at the joke but mainly at the joy he feels staring at the person who told it.

And Andrew smiles right back at him.

Meanwhile, Nicky is backing away from the locker room door silently, before booking it back to the rest of the foxes, complaining, “of course Andrew would only laugh at his own jokes,” and, “I’ve been trying for months, but he’ll smile for Neil at the drop of a hat. I’m his cousin.”

And although he doesn’t understand the Andrew he sees with Neil, he’s just so happy that he exists. God knows they both deserve it.

possible TW: I did not like Caraval

i finished it

★★★☆☆ - 2.5 stars

to put it shortly:

i should have known something was up when i saw there wasn’t really a fandom for it

the premise of Craval was really interesting and had so much potential, however it sadly was not executed well

and it did not help that it seems i’ve just progressed past the need for het-nonsense insta-love, and men with ‘alpha male’ personality types. i’ve considered that perhaps it was all part of Julian’s act, but i am certainly not going to be reading the next book to find out. and either way, it still isn’t cute, next caller xo

i shall now be reading The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater for the first time, and i know it’ll be good because I refuse to believe that that woman can fail me

if she does, someone can set up my transportation to get me off this planet

okay i disappeared into the ether for like 4 weeks because i was recovering from having finished aftg and mourning over the fact no two idiots will ever be the same and as in love as andrew joseph minyard and neil abram josten

and i can publically announce i’m still not over it, but ive returned nonetheless and will now be reading caraval by stephanie garber

i’m not actually sure if there’s a fandom for caraval on this hellsite but i hope there is

Aftg is so wild and unrealisticly dramatic but, okay here me out here, i think the reason why we all love it so much despite this, is because it’s written like an au fanfic...

now i’m not saying i’m right,, but

idk if anyone will see this but i’m a writer and i am currently writing my first novel after years of having these characters running around in my head and i want to write one of the main characters to be genderqueer

however, though queer, i am not genderqueer myself, and i don’t want to write in false-representation into my book because representation is so important and when done wrong, it can be damaging, as i’m sure you’re aware

if anyone would please be willing to answer some questions please if they’re comfortable i’d really appreciate it 🥺👉👈

#genderqueer #genderqueer character #lgbtq #someone please help me i am just a lowly peasant who loves representation #or if someone can direct me to someone who’d be willing to answer questions that works too #bigender #non binary character #idk what to put in the tags #i am quite useless oh dear #lgbtq characters #lgbtq representation #queer writers #i need writing help #writer problems #writer #gender nonconforming #genderfluid #non binary #bookblr #writblr #lgbtqia #lgbtq community #lgbtq writers
