#I freaking love books

[mmaeeve]

i was staring at my stack of books in my room and i just realized wow it’s so cool, there are so many literal whole worlds there all stacked up in their individual little societies and aesthetics and plot events and i get to experience all of them

#reading #reader #my god i can’t tell if this a blessing or a curse #i freaking love books

[mickgaydolenz]

real question to all of my fellow book reading people. how do you guys mark your place? do you use a bookmark, dog ear, memorize the page #, or a secret other thing???? 📚

#i’m the heathen that dog ears my books. it makes my twin so mad. but it’s so convenient #is that really so sacrilegious??? what about those freaks that tear out the pages as they read??? #anyways! i would love to know where everyone weighs in on this! #reading #books

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4) #and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!! #(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. ) #anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild??? #so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page. #here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area. #i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN IN AHSOKA S1E6

#star wars #swedit #thrawnedit #ahsoka show #ahsoka #ahsoka series #thrawn #ahsokaedit #*strwrsedits #xuserann #userlogray #starwarsblr #thestarwarsdaily #swsource #the way i screamed............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #the way i jumped straight out of my seat and started dancing and yelling #so loUD that my fiance had to close his ears lmao #it's my freaking blue guy #my blue blorbo from my books and my shows #also. gotta love that smile of his in the last gif #like. yeah he's happy to be out of exile soon (for the second time like thrawn. buddy. don't make this a pattern lmao) #but. he's also 10000000% thinking about his people the chiss #bc everything he does is to protect them #and bringing back the empire is the best way he sees to do that #love him as a character bc he does horrible things all for the good of his people #blue guy my beloved <333333 #we love a morally grey (and blue) king

[ofswordsandpens]

its so funny cause the show had Luke be like "Annabeth's my sister. We're family <3" and they've showcased this close bond by having them interact for 2 seconds one time

#the show loves to tell us everything but not really show it #to be fair we have more episodes so we'll see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #but the fact we didn't even see him say goodbye to her... #pjo show crit #and again I was expecting annabeth to have a /crush freak out/ type of reaction when Luke did talk to her and she just was like #so normal about it lmao #it was like a record scratch in my head #book Luke: hey annabeth! #book annabeth hyperventilating blushing twirling her hair: hi luke!

Anyways, in the Newsies book, Davey refers to Jack as “dashing” in his inner monologue that is all thank you

#during the chase scene they have to walk across this board laid across two rooftops #and davey's halfway across before he looks down and starts freaking out #and jack just says 'look at me' and holds out his hand #and davey does it #do with that what you will #also unrelated but i really love how the book specifies that racetrack is called that explicitly because he's really REALLY bad at gambling #like it's implied as such in the movie but the book makes it *known* #newsies #newsies novel #newsies book #david jacobs #davey jacobs #jack kelly #javid #javey

I have taken to reading Agatha Christie in my free time and I am BEGGING tumblr to get on this train. I need there to be a Poirot renaissance NOW. His tboy swagger is off the fucking wazoo. His combined autism/ocd smoke is too real they're gonna kill him

#poirot #he has enraptured me body and soul #hercule poirot #i am also a little freak of belgian descent who has an unhealthy fixation on hot chocolate and love of routine #agatha christie #also murder on the orient express is just. a really good book #i can see where benoit blanc gets it from

Spoilers for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

I fucking LOVE how in the epilogue the book starts to refer to Coriolanus as just "Snow".

No more "Coriolanus". Just "Snow".

He's not the sweet yet smart and manipulative boy that deeply cares about his cousin and grandma or the boy who gives sweets to a little girl and carry her around when she hurts her foot. He's not the boy who fell in love with a girl and did everything to protect her. He's not the boy that helped his classmates.

He's not the boy that uses his mother memory and her old powder case as a way to calm down and feel safe.

He's just Snow, cold and manipulative, with now only his father compass and rat poison

#I FUCKING LOVE THIS DETAIL #I FUCKING LOVE THIS BOOK #fuck you corio #but i freaking love you #ballad of the songbirds and snakes #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #bosas #hunger games #coriolanus snow #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #sejanus plinth #lucy grey baird #i have a lot of feelings for these characters

Crowley stops arguing with Aziraphale about driving the car when Aziraphale tells Crowley he’ll be taking care of the bookshop. He realizes it’s a big step for them.

#good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #our car #our bookshop #they love each other so much #i freaking love them so much #they’re taking the next step in their relationship #hearts big fucking hearts #Crowley really needs to figure out that he can set books down on a table or something but tossing them is hysterical and im all for it

They said that, sometimes, we make sacrifices so that the ones we love don’t have to. It’s part of protecting them—part of protecting you. Taking on hard choices and going to dark places is an act of love.

explaining mór and niall's divorce to a friend like, yeah they got divorced because they had differing opinions on infanticide, no the differing opinion wasn't whether or not to commit infanticide

#the question wasn't 'should we kill a baby?' it was 'can we really do that to declan?' for AT LEAST the first months of ronan's life #yeah niall joins the 'let ronan live bc he's just a baby' camp later #but declan was the only sucker in that camp for a while #like they didn't go with the 'we should kill the eldritch abomination we created with our own hubris' plan #because they didn't want to upset declan who loved ronan #not because baby murder is reprehensible #this is why i feel greywaren doesn't act as a niall redemption thing #bc if your REDEMPTION includes planning baby murder and only treating your son as well as you did because you were afraid of what would #happen if you didn't #i do not think that is redemption #like the new fenian is niall and he fully says 'yeah no we were freaked out about what would happen if /something like that/ felt wronged- #-so we excessively treated him like a part of the family' #i think the book can act as a 'niall explaination' but christ alive not a redemption #niall lynch #mór ó corra #ronan lynch #declan lynch #tdt #greywaren

Agents of Shield is one of my favorite shows of all time and the only reason it exists is because a minor character was so popular that Marvel Studios decided to bring him back from the dead in order to continue cashing in on him. I don't love AOS because it is part of the MCU, in fact the less reliant on the movies the better the show got, I love the show because the people who made the show loved it.

A work of art exists because of the oft-criticized foibles of franchising. The problem with franchises is the same problem that has always existed, the question, "Is this a labor of love?" is not being asked enough.

#agents of shield #agents of s.h.i.e.l.d. #aos #like when you think about it the fact that the show is as good as it is should qualify as a freak accident #if we were not blessed with jed whedon and marissa tanchaeron that show would have been a disaster #i mean look at boba fett #another character brought back from the dead through the power of popularity #but unlike ahsoka or andor it is clear that the book of boba fett was not loved
