there is no moral value in reading fast and there's also no moral value in reading slowly. people who read slowly aren't automatically/necessarily reading more thoroughly and thoughtfully than people who read quickly, and at the same time reading is not a race. some people read fast because that's how their brains work; some people read slowly because that's how THEIR brains work. some fast readers are getting deep into analysis and close reading and some slow readers are just along for the ride and not thinking too hard. these are both equally valid and valuable ways of engaging with books

and nobody should shame anybody else for reading slowly but also if i see one more post that suggests people who read quickly only read meaningless garbage (your elitism is showing btw) and lack reading comprehension, i will start blocking people. it's just bullshit, and it's weird judgy bullshit at that. some people have jobs in books where reading hundreds of books a year is part of it. some people are academics. some people are bedridden or isolated and trust me you get through a lot of books when you're stuck in your room alone for days. and some people love the books you consider garbage and they're just having fun passing the time with light fiction that isn't too brain intensive and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that either, because reading can be a form of relaxation and doesn't always have to be an ~intellectual challenge~ to be worth doing, actually

#néide has opinions about books #get to fuck with judging other people for their reading habits in general #also i hate tiktok as much as the next person but when you blanket-trash all popular books as booktok garbage #I'm beginning to think you're just a snob #this was in my drafts so i don't remember what prompted it #but it's true

he's from the 90's and every trade and twink at the gay club wanted him BAD. wore white tanktops, mesh shirts and jeans exclusively. he was in love with the brunette harness-babe couch-queen boy that didn't date anyone because they "couldn't afford" him. people catch them making out in the bathroom

okay, yeah, we gotta talk about this. we gotta talk about this.

loki has always been perpetually alone. even around his own family, he felt misunderstood and unwanted. the only person who ever made him feel like he belonged was his mother, and she died, leaving him completely and utterly alone again.

loki has always felt lonely. even with the company of his brother, even surrounded by people, he still felt lonely. nothing could ever really fill that gap for him.

but mobius did. but casey did. but b-15 did. even sylvie and ouroboros did. despite how everything began between loki & the rest of the tva, he finally felt like he belonged somewhere. he finally felt like he wasn't alone.

and it all started with mobius, seeing how much potential loki had and how much better he could be from now own.
