If you told me the plot of “ren learns Martyn is watching him talk to false so he chooses to act super grandiose and theatrical to impress and entertain martyn” I would assume it was a funny one shot treebark fanfic. However,

NO it would be so funny as a oneshot. except it's. real.

To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.

can’t focus on work. can only think of that one lesbian poem about chivalry

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

instead of saying "i love you" we say "you bring out the best in me. i miss you. if you're still watching"

im sure you've answered this somewhere before but why does X wear his helmet? ik you've said he's not a hybrid which i assume just means he's human, so is it just that he doesnt like showing his face? or is it plot or backstory related? -starr

Who’s to say!! Seems to be a mystery to the other hermits…

(shoutout to @kiwinatorwaffles‘s baldsuma comic, i couldn’t not make a cheeky reference to it hehe :] )

Treebarkweek day 6: picnic/garden/strawberries

This is the child of a brainstorm session, and yes, Martyn is floating lmao

@treebarkweek

treebark may seem onesided bc martyn drops all the crumbs but it becomes worse when ren cracks and all of his pent up yearning spils out in heartbreakingly romantic ways.

bc martyn is aware of it. he's aware of the meta. he knows about the baiting. he's laughing along.

but ren is clueless to everything and everyone. he's still lost in the story. martyn's surpassed it. ren's still flipping their old storybook and mourning that there aren't more pages without realising he can just write them in

Day 6: Picnic/Garden/Strawberries

Not much to say about this one except that I'm excited for Day 7

[rosethebookworm]

obsessed with villains who you just KNOW are aware deep down in their heart that they've done something unforgivable, but the only way to never admit that or face the guilt is to keep doing it over and over again until they don't feel guilty about that first time anymore
