You believe romanticizing life means constantly striving to create a life extraordinary enough to romanticize. But the truth is it's not a matter of creating something extraordinary. It's a matter of realizing the beauty in the life you already have. When was the last time you appreciated the way gravity hugs you to the Earth? When was the last time you heard the wind and called it music? When was the last time you studied the lines on a stranger's face and tired to read the map of their past. Tell me, how long has it been since you submerged your head in the sea? How long has it been since you befriended the trees? How long has it been since you laid in the field and listened to the humming of the bees? There is romance in morning walks. There is artistry in a sunset sky. They is magic in late night talks. There is an entire universe in a person's eyes. So, if you are looking for extraordinary, you don't have to try.

Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe
She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that
#oh and when I say spirit fuckery I mean it in both the literal and metaphorical sense. blame kat's latest raava and vaatu fic#yeah I'm just gonna start posting random LoK opinions on here now. this blog's been dead long enough#not really an incorrect quotes girly anymore sorry#not even a girl anymore. but you know#most of my red lotus and oc posting will remain on my personal blog though bc no one wants to see that#anyway. yes. Unalaq's wife. when I say the avatar franchise has a mom problem this is exactly what I mean#80% of characters don't have a mom. the moms that are alive either have little to no screen time or mentions#or they're basically Schroedinger's mom in the sense that they exist but not really#the exceptions being like. pema and suyin. and maybe senna though she also has very little screentime#my point is. the twins are younger than korra. I know avatarverse has a precedent for putting kids on the throne. looking at you zuko#but really we should have gotten unalaq's wife as chief of the nwt#introduced her in book 3 during the lead up to p'li's prison break#but that's just my objectively correct opinion#northern water tribe chief raspberry when#(according to avatar wiki her name is malina so I've been calling her raspberry in my head ever since I found out#malina means raspberry in russian that's why. probably in a bunch of other slavic languages too idk I'm not an expert#and she shares a name with katara and sokka's weird white stepmom from the comics which no sane person considers canon. so that's fun)#the legend of korra#unalaq

Bilbo in the book tells all the dwarves that he has a "magic" ring. But he doesn't tell It to Gandalf.
Bilbo in the movie doesn't tell anyone he has a "magic" ring. Much less Gandalf, even after the wizard openly asked about it.
Gandalf: Do you had a problem with me, Bilbo?
Bilbo: well, I didn't want you to know about it, and thinking about it now, maybe the ring didn't want too. But for someone so shifty, you took a long time to arrive out about this.
Gandalf: but then how could LotR be a race against time and most dangerous, if it weren't like that? We have had many honorable trials of willpower and sagas of heroes for the bards to tell. And The king returned, so all's well that ends well.
Bilbo: So is this how you intend to justify all the time you took to find out about the Ring?
Gandalf: Even because, at the time, The Ring wasn't even my task.
Bilbo: It doesn’t look good for the book. We need a better excuse than that.
Gandalf: We just need to polish the plot better with some good old philosophical flourishes. So put something like this "everything happens at the time it has to happen".
Bilbo: Even because 'A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he mean to'.
Gandalf: Exactly. You got the rhythm of the idea, now remind Frodo of this!

starting a book club (of sorts) with eddie was something you did on a whim. you just randomly said one day that you "didn't have anyone to talk about the old books you like" and ed immediately said that he would read whatever book you wanted if, in turn, you'd read whatever he wanted you to. it was an agreement: every time you'd finish a book, you'd let him borrow it. 
you decided you should read only one book a month, so it gave time for both of you to finish it, and then you'd spend the next month reading each others' selection. it worked, except that eddie didn't give you any book of his own, which you found extremely weird, but went along with it.  until one day he showed up at school with an extremely old book in his hands, impossible even to read the title, since it was all faded. it was a well-loved copy.
you were excited to figure out which book that was, and once you got home that day, the first thing you did was sit down at your desk and open it up. and you should've seen it coming, honestly. of course he chose the lord of the rings for you to read. of fucking course.  but then, the title wasn't importart anymore because your attention immediately was caught by a yellow paper that was clipped on the first page of the first chapter. it wasn't hard to recognize eddie's distinctly messy handwriting. this really caught you by surprise, but didn't fail to bring a smile to your lips. 
dearest y/n, 
you should've known that this book club thing was just an excuse for me to make you read this. but you won't regret it, i promise – at last, you'll finally know what mordor actually is, and why i reference it all the time. 
i know you will like this for you are as much of a nerd as i am, but i would love to hear all about what you've thought while reading these old pages! think of this experience as another weird topic for us to discuss. 
faithfully yours, your favorite nerd. 
and when you decided to actually dive in the book, you found out that he took his time to annotate his feelings and thoughts throughout the whole book, which only made it extra enjoyable. it was filled with "this is super fucked up. isn't that right, y/n?", "what the fuck was he thinking?" and "they're so cool, we should dress up as them for halloween". 
needless to say that this became an unspoken rule in your little club: you had to make notes in your books before lending them to each other. if you were head over heels in love with him while reading the lord of the rings, can you imagine the state you were in when he gave you back your copy of jane austen's pride and prejudice?

something about the way that killing vamped-up lucy is a full on Boys Adventure that seward recounts from being in it and of course impressed by van helsing’s command and also one of the most violent & gross scenes in the book, and then for the death of dracula - the big bad! the titular role! - we spend the scene with mina, watching with the old man from a distance through the snow… idk what to make of it exactly but it feels like it says something ultimately about what kind of book this is. and of course i love that mina is the one who gets to bring the story home - and the cleverness of the fact that we know they win the second we realize with relief she’s writing again, which must mean she’s been restored to herself.

I'm going to sound like a loser for a minute here but I am a tad bit disappointed every time I click on a video about commonplace notebook organization and then they proceed to show that they use it as a daily planner and/or to write down some thoughts on different topics. That is not commonplacing that's just journaling . what you are doing is keeping a journal

Oh well I really wanted to post the article about the tattooed ladies at the victorian circus this week, but I think it's an impossible mission at this point... blame my perfectionism for this.

If I loved Wataei less I might be able to talk about them more....
#You know what I also like. Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice (knows that's a quote from Emma)#Gosh I really need to read Emma#Been meaning to but I've just been chipping away at mansfield park because it is so long#and personally I find it rather tedious to read because...Well let's just say I'm not very partial to people marrying their cousins#I am aware it was not strange in ye olden days but it's one of those modern biases I can't really shake off#but I can live with it it's just something that makes me do a little displeased frown because honestly#that's the best match the poor girl could've gotten in that book there were no better options at least the guy wasn't a complete moron#as far as I can gage at least#but I guess that's my fault for starting with Pride and Prejudice I found my Austen otp in Elizabeth and Darcy I just think they're really#really neat#I originally got into Jane Austen because I have a classmate or well I guess friend would be a fitting term too although we don't really#talk outside of a school setting or outside of the group but I don't really talk to anyone outside of the group or school anyways so#might as well just call her a friend#but yes she is very into Jane Austen she's such an anglophile in the best way possible it's very endearing she can tell you a lot about tea#and such#but back to topic I got into the books because she liked them and we share an english class where we're the only ones from our little bubbl#so naturally that sparks conversation and what to talk about when two people who are into english novels if not english novels#I got her to read Sherlock Holmes and she still like Agatha Christie better#but I was very happy about that because I really like Sherlock Holmes#she's much more patient than some of my other friends if that's the right word so that makes talking easier#it's not fun when you can tell your conversation partner doesn't really care#so now I'm still trying to get through all the Auste novels I'm doing a terribly poor job at it#been at it since January how many have I managed to finish? two.#I'm listening to the audiobooks and listening to engllish can be very tiring and the lady that narrates has a very nice voice so sometimes#I fall asleep and lose the point where I was so then I have to start the entire chapter again and it's a whole thing really#but where were we ah yes Wataei#I love them I really do it's such a shame I wish I could articulate it and put it into words#but instead I have this feelings soup#oh for shame what a horrible horrible world to live in#I missed rambling in my tags I think if I'm too scared to post something I'll just put it aaaaaalll in my tags again
