#i WILL finish that damn book lmao

[timeisacephalopod]

I have TWO whole days off in a row in two days and 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 pretty great lol. That's not happened since I started my new job and I'm ok with that, I'd rather have my days more broken up, but a True Weekend (not actually ON the weekend)? Blessed 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

#winters ramblings #very excited to do absolutely fuck all lmao #actually might try and finish a book ive beem reading that i have NOT THAT MUCH LEFT OF but have stalled on reading it #for AGES and my goal is to finish it before i move. which is readonable and utterly arbitrary but come hell or high water #i WILL finish that damn book lmao

[words-after-midnight]

no shade but i really can't deal with people who finish 1-2 books *a year* calling themselves "slow writers."

#writing #this is about something i saw on another platform and could not believe i was actually reading lmao #if finishing a book or more in a year is 'slow' i must be a damn fossil

[bigcats-birds-and-books]

okay so unfortunately i'm back on my Maladaptive Math Bullshit, and it turns out that EVEN IF i manage to type five (5) pages every night this week after work (which. oof.), i will STILL only be on page 50 by the weekend, and that leaves me uh. forty-seven (47) additional pages to type. which. i suspect is not actually feasible for one (1) weekend.

#text #personal #wf #nano2023 #writing #typing #crying i don't actually want to be typing this book until i die #(and when i say Until I Die i mean MOST OF THE WAY THROUGH FUCKING DECEMBER lmaooo) #anyway glad i started friend of friend's knitting scarf today cuz cardigan has to be backburnered for holiday knits :( #and if i could finish this damn book i'd have a lot more time #wow i don't want to go to work tomorrow #it's fine if this takes me into next week i guess but i was trying to time a sick day with project completion #and it keeps getting pushed back #(i WILL be taking this last fucking sick day lmao. if you only give me six and they don't roll over i'm sure as hell using all of them) #(because fuck you capitalism)

[greatshell-rider]

my favorite parts of nona. under a read more cuz long and i do some yelling

[image id: Nona had never seen anyone so sad in her whole short life. It made her nearly afraid to die. “Nobody locks me up anywhere,” said Kiriona. /end id]

@ everyone calling gideon a bitch/jerk/”oh no she’s mean now”/”apparently reading her through her own/harrow’s eyes made her look better” YEAH NO SHIT SHE’S MEAN. EVERYTHING THAT IS HER SELF HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM HER. NOT EVEN HER BODY IS HER OWN. FUCK OFF LET HER BE ANGRY SHE HAS BEEN IN HELL FOR 3-4 MONTHS SHE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG. SHUT UP ! you bitches and your romanticzied mental illnesses don’t know what depression does to a bitch gAH

she is the saddest girl in the whole entire world let her have a MOMENT (while i writhe on the ground in throes of agony over my girl)

[image id: She reached out—she touched the side of the Prince’s face — they both recoiled. Kiriona Gaia recovered first. “You always said I’d come back in a box, Aiglamene,” she said lightly. “They killed you,” said Aiglamene. “Crime of opportunity,” said the corpse prince. And: “Don’t tell Crux — I absolutely, positively cannot give him the fucking satisfaction.” Aiglamene shoved her square in the chest, with the palm of one gloved hand; Kiriona tottered a little and wheezed, “Don’t — that’s where my heart used to be,” but the old soldier’s gaze had already fallen upon Nona. Nona cringed back in Pyrrha’s arms, because the expression was as bad as every single time Camilla had caught her putting a mouthful of chewed-up food in the potted plant or elsewhere. She could read this very old, very furious soldier like a book: the woman was angry, and blamed her. Kiriona Gaia could read her too, because she insinuated herself between them, and said coolly — “It’s not her, Captain — it’s only her body.” Over the Prince’s shoulder, Aiglamene looked at Nona, long and suspiciously, then she sighed, and wheeled around, and said: “Get inside. Now. Complete the gate,” she told a few of the other robed people. /end id]

THEY KILLED YOU. THAT’S WHERE MY HEART USED TO BE. (ianthe’s slap (a full lyctor’s slap) didn’t make gideon even flinch but aiglamene’s shove makes her wheeze) aiglamene knowing who to blame. her FURY. gideon putting her body between aiglamene and nona. THEY BOTH RECOILED (aiglamene from her cold corpse skin, gideon unable to bear her touch when she didn’t react even to nona kissing her)

[image id: “But maybe we shouldn’t,” she said, holding the eyelids to that little slit — watching the onscreen scribbles flash urgently on the truck glass, watching the widening white crack, watching the river water pound itself back into the place where it wanted to be even if the River itself didn’t. “If we end here, it’ll be just like . . . a bad dream, won’t it? And maybe we’ll wake up somewhere else. I know we won’t,” she explained, “but we don’t have to know that . . . maybe if we all go, it’ll be quick.” Paul looked at her, with those dark grey-brown pupils widening, slightly. “Nona,” they said, “Noodle’s in the back.” The middle thoughts surged. The slit widened all the way. “Oh my God,” she said, in a panic. “I forgot about Noodle.” The windshield cracked all the way across the middle. Paul leant their full weight on the accelerator. Nona drove the truck home. /end id]

what you can’t do for your people, friends and family, you can do for your little beast. yeah muir gets it

[image id: “Camilla, we did it right, didn’t we?” Palamedes said, and now Nona knew he wasn’t speaking to anyone else in the universe. “We had something very nearly perfect . . . the perfect friendship, the perfect love. I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept.” [/end id]

burst into fucking tears at this part so it’s a good thing none of my roommates were home lmao. THEY DID IT RIGHT. the sheer care and utter devotion. no regrets, as long as he got to be her adept. WEEPING

#fun fact i will simply never stop thinking about no one being as sad as nona saw gideon the line fucking gutted me #the desolation of her grief. the emptiness of it. the inability to mourn everything that has been taken from her. just hollow #[beats john with a lead pipe] #and yeah that first paragraph from palamedes is what got me. not the return of 'go loud' that was cute but damn that first paragraph #'we did it right' they sure did. they really did /sobs #the respect and honor palamedes shows camilla for all that she does for him im just- WEEPS #a romance could fucking never and THAT is facts #locked tomb #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #lmao my opinion of kiriona has shifted dramatically #at first i was just horrified at what john had done to gideon's body and thought kiriona wasn't really gideon? just a puppet yknow #fucking HATED her in first house attire the white is a fucking insult. disgusting #was not sure how i felt about whatever the fuck she and ianthe has going on sldkfjsl #but saw her reaction to returning to ninth house and reuniting with aiglamene and was like. ah. okay there's a piece of her soul in harrow's #body but yeah no kiriona's gideon. this is just her new self damaged and hurt as it may be #and THEN i finish the book and hop on tumblr and find out people have been throwing shade at her now that her snarky comments suddenly aren' #aren't so fun anymore and im. WELL. well NOW i support evil fucked up angsty mean bitch gideon 10000% yall can go to hell #i hope she spits in harrow's face fuck you #sure let her autonomy and dignity and fucking body be stolen and degraded and used as a tool but gods forbid she be upset about it #:p #heaven forbid she SHOW her upset dear fucking gods that's intolerable #symptoms????? of mental illness??????? that isn't????? palatable and consumable to the audience?????? >:OOOOO OUTRAGE #gideon is the character of all time yall don't deserve to fuckin look at her #not for you

[wizardfvcker]

still thinking about how hard the first half of master & apprentice hits and how fucking bad it misses the landing. as soon as it introduced the slavery angle i was like okay. wary but hopeful. but imo it’s just such a clumsy resolution of the problem presented! like the book gives you a real conflict: this is a megacorp that uses slave labor and the republic Knows about it and does not care! or at least is not willing to use its power to do anything about it (because it does not actually hold that much power, and also because this economically benefits it), and neither do the jedi because they are uhhh cowards who love to uphold the status quo! (yoda i am killing you with my mind) and then it gives you an ARMED UPRISING and a princess going actually i am not ceasing my absolute power to the republic for a performative semblance of democracy so that we can make a permanent deal with slavers?? but then oh no actually shes evil and just wanted power. but don’t worry the slave girl she fought with and that was FREED with her help! is good and will end up doing the treaty with the republic. and none of the concerns about this treaty being abusive and leaving us vulnerable to the megacorp were relevant lol we just like fixed them (???). it’s just such a disappointing ending to like. an actually compelling interesting question

also the problems between obi-wan and qui-gon get dispelled by one (1) underwhelming conversation that adresses nothing?? it’s bullshit that qui-gon is like i can’t join the council because of Force Prophecies when CLEARLY he can’t join it because he wants to keep training obi-wan because he fucking cares about him!!! let him SAY THAT!! or at least THINK IT! also it raised a fuckton of questions and tense dynamics between rael averross and qui-gon and then resolved none of them. boo

#.txt #finished my work for today. went into a fugue state for 5 minutes. apparently i have more opinions on this book than i thought #this is not as well-articulated as i'd like but some of the thoughts i had a week ago have gone away lmao #um sorry about this #also it was odd reading this book because id argue qui-gon is one of the most sympathetic characters in it! and his questions and criticisms #about the jedi are RIGHT #like he questions why they can't push back on the megacorporation and he REFUSES to do the treaty with slavers! #like damn okay. this man can get it i guess #okay im good now. im cool #imagine if star wars books were good

[kuiinncedes]

holy shit bro

#THAT WAS CRAZINESS #first of all i finished a book LMAO #BUT FUCK #IIIIIIIIII think there’s a sequel imma look it up lmaoooo 😭😭😭 #akbddhddbdhdhdhdbdjdjejhreghshsndixbfjddj damn #jeanne talks

#trousled rambles #blast i'm going to bed right after posting this okay shhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're awake too #ANYWAY . yall may have noticed i am going insane recently #idk maybe its just something to do with not really having that hanging over my head anymore?? like i can just doodle shit without guilt #but even tho i STILL gotta finish reading this god damn book (only 5 chapters to go tho!!!!) i've been able to get myself to actually- #-just like. mindlessly doodle again and just have FUN with it instead of worrying about everything i havent done yet #i guess i just never realized how much of a toll trying to be consistent on that blog was. but like Damn #still dont know if i'm gonna fully convert it into a fic or not yet but i DO think i'm gonna try finishing up some of the backstory fics 1st #reread them all recently and i wanna. fix em lmao #anyway yeah thats all byeeeeeeeeee godmoth yknow the drill ✌

[sollucets]

okay i lied one. one more post

#rowan chatter #[head in hands] i like him so much #he did that thing. the thing that gavin does. the 'wait where are you going' but the 'looks back at them' and 'no one's kissed me like that' #then he looks n right in the eyes and goes 'what are you talking about i don't know her' #AWFUL #i want to get like a water spray bottle and spray him like a cat #unfortunately his player character is *aster* so they are...... not doing well either lmao #Down Bad #because lets face it they would be #yes this is more twcposting yes i finished the damn book overnight #i dont think its gonna be An Obsession? i dont feel extremely unhinged abt it the same way i still do about rasmr #there are mitigating factors #but. ah #yes this one was much better than 1 #more interesting plot & characters less grating & more interesting ways in which to succeed or fail #oh and if you are interested in the titles of the screencaps you should be they chronicle my descent into madness #oh also i made two notepad notes during this: the first one says 'mom says we have to go on a date' #and the second says 'oh yeah baby pin me to the wall of love'

I think Hugh Howey has an obsession with stairs

#misc #im reading half way home #which by the way i've started sunday #and if i did not have a family reunion i would have probably finished the same day but now I'm stuck with work and still devouring it #and anyway #the giant trees they are climbing reminds me so much of Silo #i remember being somehow obsessed with the silo stairs #like i was dreaming about it when i read the book dhdhshzz #might read the one about space lighthouses cause i bet there's gonna be some stairs situation going on there too #also so far the story is nit groundbreaking #but damn if it is a page turner #like i can't stop reading #i remember reading silo in like two days back then #and yeah even if i don't find it really original #i like the characters #the mc is a soft boy and that's rare #and also I'm kinda expecting a plot twist #like not just the AI is evil for some reason #also... #characters deaths... #edit: no i read silo in one night while being with a uni friend and i was like making noises the whole time #and then they read it and they did the same #reading it in a few hours and becoming crazy lmao

[se-hos]

#i cannot stand feyre holy shit #yeah yeah she's traumatized whatever #SO IS EVERYONE ELSE AND THEY DON'T TREAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THAT #and this bitch didn't even apologize when she left rhys bleeding in the mud after she blew up on him for no good reason #she KNOWS THIS AND STILL MADE HIM COME GROVELING TO HER #she can be smart but my god is she awful #i'm still gonna finish it bc i bought the whole damn series but i'm just here for nesta to go apeshit atp lmao #UNLEASH HER #ds.txt #untagged #reading books

[cinnabeat]

[godhasforsnakenme]

let it be known that I completed my journal today, like I wrote on the last available page for it

holy shit

#dania rambles about shit #its a green leather one that I bought for summer vacation 2013 #it lasted me ten fucking years #what the fuck a whole decade #we forgot to take it with us when we went on vacation in august before 8th grade started #like I wrote in it each time something important enough happened that I'd remembered its existence #we'd had to find it through all the piles of papers and notebooks and sketchbooks on our desk #or when we got the book shelves and couldn't keep it in the same spot for us to find omfg #like this journal was there when I met the most important people of my life #wrote in it when I graduated and went to college #wrote in it sometimes when I had to just write out my thoughts that were keeping me up at night #the process of my handwriting getting to what it is today like similarities can be seen to the chicken scrall I had ten years ago #yet its so damn different to the chicken scrall we have today lmao #the first entry was a sketch of the beach in cali #it was done when I got back from vacationing and realised I forgot it which defeated the purpose of why I got it in the first place #as in to write all the things I did on those days spent away from home #so it became tradition to just forget the journal and a joke to try and finish it at all #the last entry I made today because I finally stopped procrastinating and make the important phone calls #we reached an epiphany of sorts and could finally fill out those last two pages that had been sitting blank since last year #literally closing a chapter of my life #a whole book on it really #idk about getting a new one #like what if it takes another ten years to finish? #also the sketchbooks have served for the same purpose recently when writing letters I can't bring myself to send #plus sketches to go along with whatever brain rot we have going on #hmmmm decisions decisions

⊹ㅤattractive things they do | heartslabyul

parts. heartslabyul, savanaclaw, octavinelle, scarabia, pomefiore, ignihyde, diasomnia

characters. riddle, trey, cater, ace, and deuce.

content. gender neutral reader as always

note. fun fact: was scrolling thru my really, really old drafts and saw this. so I decided to just finish it cause why not. (this been rotting there for like a year and a half lmao)

I have about, 14 in my to do list haha. im doing them at random but trying to squeeze in writing at the crack of the night

perhaps he isn't aware of what he's doing exactly but riddle nods every once in a while during a conversation with you. that alone wouldn't have striken something in you if he wasn't intent on looking in your eyes every, damn, time! when you started to notice whatever habit it was it honestly got you skipping words mid sentence. eye to eye contact was something he thought was basic etiquette, hence his lack of care about it. there's something nice about his undivided attention focused, and probably soaking up whatever you had to say. if that wasn't enough him remembering every single thing you mention to him definitely did the trick..

everything, coughs. if i had to narrow it down probably the fact that trey quite literally looms over your shoulder to take a look at whatever you're doing. it doesn't matter whether you're tall, if you're sitting down that's what he's doing. if you had a penny you'd bet that he knows exactly what he's doing from the small smirk he does right after you jolt. you could smell his cologne, his skin over yours and you don't know if you want to screech into the void or throw yourself out of the window. you're as still as a statue, refusing to look up at him or else you're gonna get more down bad than you already are.

some might have contrary opinions but we all love an affectionate guy who isn't afraid to show it. caters just the type to bound up to you and attach himself like a magnet or something. it's funny cause you could be talking to your friends or something and he just bounds up behind you and encases you in a hug. sometimes when he's the one in a conversation he's pulling you over like he needs an emotional support item. literally whenever you're in reach, he's putting his arms to good use. you will not escape I guess.

for someone who claims to be a major hater to certain things considered weird in his book, affection included. ace does it a lot. he somehow always gravitates towards you, it doesn't matter if deuce is walking beside you he's gonna literally bump the guy away with his shoulder (one time into a bush.) a thing he likes to do though, is an arm over your shoulders like you're buddy buddies, which you technically are. just kinda out of character for a guy like him to pull you close so suddenly—and he's semi-aware of it.

looks away really fast when he gets flustered. it's really obvious that you got him, with whatever you've done. a cute thing deuce has done is laying face down in his desk at record speed just because you managed to make him embarrassed, in a good way! if you peeked through the gap under him you'd see his red face. if he can't hide his face from you, as in you keep tryna peek at it when he looks away he's literally just gonna use his hands to cover it. (although his likely response is to just sputter some excuse and dip.)
