tachigin + "i guess i should go." and/or montcott + "tell me the truth." 👀💞

no "or" always "and" lkjlkjslkfj

sooo kinda post-vampirism arc tachigin? (at least those are the vibes) and something that will made its way to the montcott one-shot

tachigin + “i guess i should go”

“I… guess I should go.” Hearing Tachihara speak like that, without the usual cockyness and even sort of embarrassed felt odd. Wrong. Maybe funny, in a different situation.

But now it wasn’t, or at least Gin wasn’t in the mood for laughing or teasing him. Not after all that had happened, not after what had been revealed.

“No.” As fast as if they were on the battlefield, Gin’s hand closed around Tachihara’s wrist with enough insistence he didn’t dare move, not except for getting closer to her as the grasp pleaded for. And yet, he was moving very carefully, as if one wrong step would make Gin change their mind. “But no more bullshit either.”

Tachihara instantly nodded.

“Yeah, I swear. I fuckin’ swear.”

montcott + “tell me the truth”

“Tell me the truth, then.” Lucy said, arms crossed, and Louisa had to gather all her courage in order to not give in to the inside voice suggesting to flee; she owed a proper explanation, at least.

“I was… asking him for advice. Relationship advice, to be more specific.”

“To… to our resident cryptid?” A faint smile started appearing on the redhead’s face, after saying so. “Though I’m not sure I can still say ‘our’, since you’re the only one who’s still currently part of the Guild, but--” She shrugged.

“I had… no conventional doubt.” Louisa shrugged as well. “Besides, I got surprisingly good insight, believe it or not.”

“Yeah? Cool, then. And tell me, can I ask who’s the lucky one that has you all worried?”

Well… there were worse ways to do it, right?

Gilbert Blythe being like "guess I'll die" after the girl of his dreams rejects him and then actually almost dying for real is the most iconic thing I've ever seen. Bare minimum if you ask me

Banned Books Week 2023

It’s that time of year again, when we honor and focus on the books out there that have been banned. And boy, it seems the last few years that book banning has been on the rise. You know if you don’t like a book and you don’t agree with it, no one is forcing you to read it. I’ll even go as far as understanding parents taking books out of their own kid’s hands. My objection is when parents take books out of some other kid’s or adult’s hand. Growing up, if someone had taken “The Diary of Anne Frank” off of my library’s shelf, I would have been lost.

This year I’m focusing on… “Anne of Green Gables,” by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Yes, you read that right, our dear old unromantic Anne Shirley was banned!

Description:

Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has never known a real home. Since her parents’ deaths, she’s bounced around to foster homes and orphanages. When she is sent by mistake to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she wants to stay forever. But Anne is not the sturdy boy Matthew and Marilla were expecting.   She’s a mischievous, talkative redheaded girl with a fierce temper, who tumbles into one scrape after another. Anne is not like anybody else, the Cuthberts agree; she is special, a girl with an enormous imagination. All she’s ever wanted is to belong somewhere. And the longer she stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for anyone to imagine life without her.

Author:

Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, in 1874. Educated at Prince Edward College, Charlottetown, and Dalhousie University, she embarked on a career in teaching. From 1898 until 1911 she took care of her maternal grandmother in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, and during this time wrote many poems and stories for Canadian and American magazines. Montgomery’s first novel, Anne of Green Gables, met with immediate critical and popular acclaim, and its success, both national and international, led to seven sequels. Maud Montgomery also wrote the popular Emily of New Moon in 1923 followed by two sequels, and Pat of Silver Bush in 1933 with its sequel. L. M. Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942, but it is her early years of lush, green Prince Edward Island that live on in the delightful adventures of the impetuous redhead, the stories Mark Twain called “the sweetest creation of child life yet written.”

Why It was Banned:

You’re probably asking yourself, who on earth would ban something as adorable, and funny, and innocent as “Anne of Green Gables?” (Who on earth bans any book?) Well, let’s find out!

After “Anne of Green Gables,” was published in 1908, it wasn’t long before it was translated into other languages, that way others could fall in love with Anne Shirley. In 1912, it was translated to Polish and it found a captive audience amongst the Polish people. Soon, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s other works were translated, and she grew very popular there. Anne’s individuality was endearing. In 1939, when the Nazis invaded Poland, Polish soldiers were issued copies of Montgomery’s novels to take to the frontlines, as a means to raise the moral. When the Nazis occupied the country, “Anne of Green Gables” and Montgomery’s other works were banned, but that didn’t stop the Polish people. Copies were sold on the black market; resistance members carried them. Anne Shirley had become a beacon of hope. The war in Poland ended in 1945 and I’m sure the Polish people were looking forward to being free…unfortunately, they had been liberated by the Soviets and a Communistic government was put into place. Similarly, because Montgomery’s works were so beloved and “Anne’s resistance to authority” was a threat, the Soviets viewed it as “subversive” and banned “Anne of Green Gables” in 1953 to 1956.

My Thoughts:

I first read “Anne of Green Gables” when I was thirteen or fourteen. My family and I were visiting family up north and we stopped by this huge warehouse that sold old, used books for cheap. I stumbled across “Anne of Green Gables” and from the title I was intrigued, and it was one of the ones we bought. I devoured it and soon fell in love with odd, weird, red-haired girl. She turns her hair green, hits a boy with a slate, gets her friend drunk – what’s not to like? I had no idea it was Classic Lit – to me Anne Shirley felt modern and realistic. I went on to read the rest of the series, and re-read them off and on over the years. Then, I found the miniseries! Imagine my surprise when I learned it was a banned book.  

So, you see, the Nazis and the Communists banned and censored books…Those who are on the side of good don’t ban and censor books. And I’ll leave it at that.

So we've come to the end of what I've decided is Part 2! I'll be taking a couple months to build up a buffer of pages going into Part 3, especially because since starting this project, a lot of my circumstances have changed - mainly that I'm working full time again and I don't have as much time to dedicate to this project as I used to have. That said - this puts us past the halfway point of this project!

Regardless, I'll be back as soon as I can be. I want to finish this project before moving onto new projects, so don't worry, this won't be left unfinished!

To everyone who's commented/liked/reblogged: thank you so so much! It's really really helpful and encouraging to see people respond positively to this project, especially on days when I'm particularly frustrated.

For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self-denial, anxiety and discouragement.

ummmm ranpoe + "there's punch and cookies by the door" for the five sentences thing!

“By the way, there’s punch and cookies by the door.” Poe said, somewhat calmly until Lucy answered with a slight frown before doing it with words.

“No? I mean, I believe you, but there was nothing there anymore.”

“Oh, really? I’m pretty sure I asked Ranpo-kun to set it all up and--” As realization dawned on him, so did amusement and resignation. “Ranpo-kun!” If Lucy was surprised about hearing Poe raise his voice, she didn’t let it show. “You finished off all the punch and cookies after you were done, right?”

The first response, or at least what preceded the actual one, was a shameless laughter.

“And I started them too!”

“And Karl didn’t snitch.” He then said, earning an earnest giggle from the girl in front of him. “Should I worry he ends up loving Ranpo-kun more than me?”

I went to the park this morning before heading to the airport. It was so nice and sunny and the park was full of flowers. It's still a bit cold, though. Most days it's around 8°C-12°C. How is the weather where you live and do you like to take outdoor pictures of your books?

so there seems to be agreement with a bsd x ride the cyclone with mykola as mischa bachinski (and subsequently fyodor as talia) and sigma as jane doe <3 perfect casting of course but...

may i present dazai as ricky potts.

my reasoning:

- its very funny

- dazai really likes women (womanizer?) (horny)

- dazai likes cats (sexy cat women) dislikes dogs (k9)

- kolya is already mischa

- disabled dazai is very cool. dazai with walking aids is very cool.

anyways. please take this into consideration bsd and rtc fans

oh also im thinking chuuya as noel, kyouka as constance, and maybe lucy as ocean? idk it might just be ginger vibes. and kyouka makes sense in my head but maybe not in others'. but chuuya for sure as noel.
