Ravi, shocked: You have a fake ID? With a fake name and everything?

Chim: Why would you even need a fake ID for?

Buck: I don't have to explain myself-

Eddie: He used it to get a second library card so he could take out twice as many books at once.

Buck: You traitor.

Hen: Ha! nerd, but where could someone get one of those?

i started reading liu yao and I'm so endeared by the fact that literally everyone here is a gigantic asshole, but in different flavors

#liu yao #6yao #cheng qian #muchun zhenren #han yuan #of course han yuan would have no idea what a kittypet is #not because he lives in fantasy ancient china but because he's literally allergic to books of any kind #i don't think it's possible for him to learn how to read. good for him <3 #pippart

do you have any book recommendations? pls i need lots 💙💙

this is such a loaded question friend. but lucky for u, i am procrastinating assignments, my take out has yet to arrive, and i just finished another book!

horror fic has been my choice for the last several books

the centre by ayesha manazir siddiqi is about a young Pakistani woman living in the UK. she's a translator for Urduru films. language and translation are central to this book. people are becoming fluent in a matter of weeks in complex languages.... the centre is gorgeous if not entirely mysterious, magical even. but whats the catch?? beautifully written. vivid details. anisa is a flawed, honest, and genuine feeling mc, as are the people in her life. i just finished it a couple hours ago n i miss my girls.

slewfoot by brom is set in 17th century Connecticut. our protag, Abitha, is not from this town but she does he best to adhere to the Puritan standards, if not for her well being, than that of her husband's. something stirs in the outskirts of the village, in the forest and beyond. she finds help from an unlikely source while also fostering a deep inner power of her own. these characters felt so well thought out, the writing is magnetic and the action is well paced. it puts so many preconceived notions right on their head. i loved this book and can't wait to read brom's other novel, the child thief, a retelling of peter pan and the lost boys!

sister, maiden, monster by lucy a. synder was oh so gay and oh so cosmically horrendous. this is like h.p. lovecraft wasn't a weird racist. this is like if biblically accurate angels were once just women in love. this is horrifying, visceral, and relevant to our COVID world. i was gawking at so many of the details. there are so many monster themes actually, it's perfect. the story is told through 3 povs of 3 different women. and we love women! and horror! i didn't expect to pick this one up but I'm so glad i did.

mary: an awakening of terror by nat cassidy do u know what it's like to be virtually invisible? forgotten? disaffected? do u know the pure joy of having a precious collection, adding to it over time, and it being almost ur only reason for living anymore?? then you're a lot like mary. and mary is a lot like plenty of women who get the chance to live beyond adolescence, who are cast out by society-- deemed invaluable. mary is utterly lost at a time in her life she feels she should have it all figured out. she goes back to her hometown, an ambiguous small town in the middle of the desert, and some unlikely characters help her piece things back together. i finished this book feeling so close to mary. we are friends now. there is mystique, horror, fables, myths, bad guys, mysterious architecture, and well mary is not the most reliable narrator. loved this one too.

the last house on needless street by catriona ward i had no idea where this book was going and i loved piecing the narrative together through several characters and their povs. it forces u to confront ur own biases regarding mental health. u are sympathetic to the characters in the most painful, heart wrenching ways. there is murder. there is mystery. there is missing children. there are cats. this book surprised me and it was fun to have to find a couple reddit threads to be sure i was understanding the story correctly. i felt like i read this kind of fast! which is always fun too.

brother by ania ahlborn this one pissed me off a bit. but in a good way because i was so deeply invested. this one is set in Appalachia. i'm not one for stereotypes, especially bc i think Appalachians have a bad rep and it's of no fault of their own. that being said, the insular feel of the book and the absolute claustrophobia those mountains create in this story were like a character in it of itself. our protag, michael, knows there's something beyond. he's seen them on colorful postcards. but his own mind and his own heart seem utterly trapped here. this one is heartbreaking. it's horrifying. and it'll make u dizzy from the amount of times u change ur mind. excited to read her other novel, Seed, because this one stuck with me so much!

a couple honorable mentions that fit the theme:

the vegetarian by han kang korean food. infidelity. art. nightmares. inexplicable mindfucks! this story was scary because it felt very.. possible? no monsters this time. no spells. just... the mind deteriorating. could happen to any of us.

a certain hunger by chelsea g. summers what if girlbossing is just a quick pivot from sociopathy?? what if the crimes are so much more gratifying than say, fame or fortune or even love?? women can be sociopaths too, you know!! this one is fun bc the protag is crazy and it's fun to slip into these characters. cathartic even. omg did i mention, she's a foodie too! just like me :-)

Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales.

“Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.”

the sheer number of female characters in orv and the depth of every single one of them is rapidly ruining me for 90% of media. here i am just bopping along not even realizing how resigned i am to a 3:1 ratio of men to women in most media and then orv hits me like a freight train. like okay now i have standards. everybody else get on this level.

#i'm trying to think what it is about it because i *do* read/watch media that features lots of women. it's not just all dudes! #i think it's related to how they're all completely different people. they're not cookie cutter #and they're not just clones of each other with the numbers sanded off (han sooyoung notwithstanding lol) #or idk. like tmbd has lots of women and nb folks. but. though i appreciate how much gender diversity there is in those books #there's something about it that feels very deliberate. which isn't bad per se - it's good to know the author #cares enough about it to go to an effort - but it comes across as kind of clumsy sometimes? #whereas in orv there's just a lot of really well realized characters and oh hey at least half of them are women #it feels organic and effortless. idk if it actually was organic and effortless but that's the effect it gives #plus the fact that it seems the authors of orv never met a guy character that they didn't go #'he seems like he could be a girl under the right circumstances' about #orv #my posts

I made a fast sketch for this AU... First year Lee Hakhyun being haunted by a ghost (?) that Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk were searching for.

Friend said this has the vibe "haunted by the narrative", I guess its truly what I feel when I think about Kim Dokja...

Anyway its all imagination I havent made a proper settings for it so please feel free to explore this AU however you like...

#orv side story #orv spoilers #orv #lee hakhyun #kim dokja #han sooyoung #yoo joonghyuk #so uhm... the book Lee Hakhyun has is the book number 41 #Han Sooyoung believes it has a fragment of Kim Dokja's soul or maybe Kim Dokja is reading this story so it must be ended... #but plot twist the fragment of Kim Dokja's soul was in Lee Hakhyun! #i thought that would be cool...

Okay real quick bc I need to go to sleep but just found this Star Wars info-graphic book (Star Wars Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to a Galaxy Far, Far Away) and

This thing is a fucking gold mine and surprisingly interesting (this one was for characters lightsaber colors)

It's from 2017 so it has some out-of-date stuff but look at my girls

Not sure if Ezra is doing ok but I love the Hera & Sabine here

And there's some stuff I hate here because why are the married/literally married people the worst-ranked? and Quinlan/Asajj should not be ranked that high good lord

Mostly just very unserious stuff I like it I would've eaten that book up if I had it as a kid

And I'm not sure if it's all 100% canon but it actually has some really interesting stuff There's a Jedi council info-graphic that has everything I've been looking for it's really cool

A thing about this one tho bc I like it and yet

This being the only canon image of Tholme? hilarious. The yellow lovers line? villain origin story. They were just working really hard on promoting Dark Disciple two years after it came out out because it only sold 2 copies don't worry about it guys (Also Tholme is well and alive? no idea what this is talking about Asajj never even met him she told me herself)

yeah that was it good night

#sw #star wars #does this count as #yael is reading star wars #? #it does now #it's a book #star wars super graphic #why is it called that #infographic #aayla secura #asajj ventress #star wars rebels #yoda #han solo #tholme #master tholme #jesus christ fuck in lord above asajj/quinlan is a plague istg #also is it just me or does this dooku look like that one guy #not adam driver the one people fancast for revan #keanu reeves #him #also the difference between hera and aayla's lekku is #weird
