i just got the archive undying from hold on libby but i got the audiobook and i read your notes about font changes in the ebook, do you know anything about the audiobook/do you think it’s a book that would translate well to audiobook format?

good question!! i haven't listened to the audiobook myself, but i would hope that the narrator does different voices?

w/o spoiling too much, the font changes come when we're seeing things from the perspective of [redacted], and they become less necessary as the story goes on and the changes in POV become more clear.

i don't see any reason why the book wouldn't translate well to audiobook? depending on what the narrator does, it could actually be more comprehensible as an audiobook versus text format. that said: if you like being confused while reading/listening to books, you're definitely in the right place--it's a very harrow the ninth sort of book. if you prefer more straightforward storylines...listening instead of reading probably won't make much of a difference.

hope this helps !! and i hope that u enjoy the book 🥰🥰🥰

#the archive undying #askbox #ronanlynch #casper 2024 #also for the record i truly don't know if the font changes show up in the libby ebook if you have the settings different #like i changed the font and spacing away from default so that could've been on me

ZORA

VANITAS

24. Who were your favorite people to be around/friends

erm. noe. you didnt hear that from me. i also really enjoyed domi's company after the two of us began to bond!

30. Someone you didn't expect to kin/someone you knew you would kin immediately

Gonna send you another thing I hope you don't mind.

🍹What I want to see in s5 is Steve having an actual arc that isn't solely about his love life. I want him and Dustin to have deep conversations and finally give us a hug. I want Steve and Lucas to bond because they are fundamentally the same person, especially because we got robbed in s4. Kinda wish we get a conversation about popularity and their love for basketball, but realistically that won't happen. Still bitter it wasn't in s4 tho. And I want Steve to show emotions about Max, I need to know what's in his letter. In general I need to see him break down and finally acknowledge the trauma he went through since '83.

What I think we get tho is him still running after Nancy and how they set up s5 he will spend some time proving to Jonathan that he's a changed person because the Duffers can't let him move on and have to remind him he was the worst in high school. I think we'll get a good fight scene, but I don't think he'll die. Finn said every character gets the ending they deserve, and while I don't have high hopes for a meaningful Steve storyline, they will give one to Dustin. And Dustin wouldn't have a happy ending without his brother. There will be a scene where he'll do everything to keep Steve safe so he won't have to repeat the Eddie situation. The Duffers confirmed Dustin will be grieving Eddie, to take away Steve would be too cruel.

As for the general ending I have zero clues other than almost no main character (not sure about El and Jonathan) will die because Stranger Things was never a show where it ends in a massive massacre. I do think the show will be set in an apocalyptic setting and that the monsters from the UD will get to the real world. Kinda wish Nancy's vision comes true because idk why it was included otherwise. But yeah idk about the general ending bc I mostly care about Steve and his closest friends. I do wish he leaves the show with Robin and Dustin, everything else would be unacceptable lol. And lastly the Kas theory is complete bullshit and I hope Eddie stays dead.

I don't mind at all! Send as much as you want!

OOH my thoughts on all this below the cut!!!

I agree that I want Steve to have more of an arc. I'd love if he did find someone special though, but I don't want that to be all he does. He and Dustin definitely need to have a real heart-to-heart, especially now that Dustin's lost Eddie.

Steve and Lucas have so much in common! I think they could be as close as Steve and Dustin honestly. We deserved to see them bond more for sure, and I hope ST5 rectifies that.

WHAT IS IN STEVE'S LETTER?!!?! I want each letter read, but I especially want to know what Max put in his. I feel like we should've seen more of them bonding as well. One thing that really bugged me about Season 4 was Steve complaining about staying behind with the kids while Nancy and Robin went to the asylum. I feel like that's out of character compared to the Season 2 Steve that went so far to protect the kids. However, one could argue that Steve was so adamant to go to the asylum because he's so desperate to get answers for Max, which feels more in character.

The Duffers absolutely are going to try and force Stancy and I'm not happy about it :( Steve has changed sooo much and if Jonathan doesn't realize that at this point, he never will lol.

I also don't think Steve will die. I feel like the Duffers like his character so much. I think they'll tease his death, like how they did at the end of Season 4 Ep 6, but I don't think it'll actually happen. I agree that Dustin's happy ending includes Steve being safe.

I really really hope that no one dies, but that's probably wishful thinking 😅 My theory is that they'll kill off primarily side characters. For example, I think if Murray is in the season, he's going to be killed. I also could see them killing Karen Wheeler or something, if only to motivate Mike and Nancy in the final fight with Vecna.

I'll be furious if El dies—she deserves the happiest of happy endings! Jonathan dying would be so sad but he's been sidelined so much. I hope he gets a real proper storyline in Season 5.

I'm so down to see an apocalypse. I want Hawkins in shambles, as fucked up as that might be lol. I totally could see Nancy's visions coming true, with the monsters killing soldiers and flooding the town. Maybe that'll be the big final battle.

OOOOH I'm actually not even sure how I feel about the Kas theory. On one hand, the Duffers love to reference D&D creatures, so it makes sense to me. However, they follow the rule that if someone dies on screen, they're dead for real. (That's how they could bring Brenner back, because he only ever got attacked off screen.) I guess Eddie coming back as Kas would still follow that formula, because the theory hinges on Eddie dying completely and being resurrected, but I just don't know if the Duffers will go that far, you know? Also the cast is already insanely big, so they might keep him dead.

One thing I think about a lot is how is it even worth it to bring Eddie back? Like, if he comes back as Kas, what sort of happy ending could he even get? Or would they bring him back to just die again? That would suck, so I absolutely hope they don't do that.

What’s the name of the basically f1 magazine and queer magazine? Both sound interesting

i literally only just saw this in my askbox i am so sorry

the motorsports one is just called "Motorsports". apparently its the longest running motorsports magazine there is. all the other ones near it were about car models, not motorsports specifically. it went fucking in on rbr and their dumb sky boycott which was funny

the queer magazines were pretty good but not as good as the array you'd find at a library/on libby. its got your normal gaytimes some special interview mags with gay/trans celebrities, but also ones like DIVA which is aimed at bi girls and lesbians, DAZED features a lotta content with queer people and specifically seems to empower black voices which is important as hell, attitude is a mens magazine for gay men

#my parents and i started talking about magazines the other day #i really really want a good crochet magazine but unfortunately theyre mostly quite basic

Sorry for just seeing this, I've been on mobile. As far as what makes me happy

My brother and sister-in-law gave me a cookbook for different types of bread and I ended up making these whole wheat rosemary and sage rolls

I'm currently knitting a sweater in my favorite color purple and it's almost done. I just have to do the sleeves

I finally got my library card and I've been listening to the audio book version of a bunch of Agatha Christie books on Libby while I knit

My cat is a cute lil orange man who yells at me for attention

I'll be going on a cruise at the end of July and I'm really looking forward to it

It's been called

There is an official missing persons out for both my wife Leinwen and our son Cael.

What we know (Cael):

Cael called Anya around noon last weekend asking if she could watch his team while he went to go help an Absol that had gotten loose in the city. Anya mentioned that it was strange but figured with, as old as he is, he knew what he was doing.

Cael has not been seen since. When he left he was wearing a Sharkie's Magikarp Sanctuary teeshirt and leggings. He also brought a backpack that held essentials like food, water, and an Absol shaped thermos. His wallet was also likely in there as well.

Libby was ordered to exit her phone and stay behind. According to her he seemed incredibly nervous but refused to elaborate as to why.

What we know (Leinwen):

Leinwen bolted after being triggered into a feral state. In this state she is incredibly skittish and prone to lashing out.

She will likely be in her natural form when found. (image attached below this list)

She may also have her Vanitian Abra Danielle with her. I am uncertain as to whether or not she'd keep her close in this state.

Approach with the same caution one might show a cornered and injured pokemon. She won't lash out without cause, if she does it's in self defense.

While it is not my place to disclose her trauma she will not react well to any sort of medical equipment or scents. She has previously shown open hostility to those wearing anything similar to a lab or doctor's coat.

If you are a medical professional and find her injured I recommend treating her like a particularly angry and terrified rapidash.

She will most likely be in a quadrepedal stance as it's the one she favors most especially in a feral state.

Please contact me immediately if you find so much as a feather matching hers. I'm afraid of what might happen if she isn't brought down from this state.

If you have any information or suspicions the askbox is open. Victoria if you, somehow, see this and you are holding them captive for whatever reason: I have 2000 years worth of poke. Name your price.

ooo thank you! <3

5 things that make me happy! That's a lot of narrowing down, but I think I can pick the cream of the crop.

My friends! <3

My cat Schroedinger, who has been especially snuggly with me lately.

My new home! I moved into a nice little condo, which means I have WAY less stuff to take care of (read: I don't have to take care of my own yard!) AND I live next to some cows and a donkey!

When the book I want is available as an audiobook on Libby. Hell yeah audiobooks from my library!

The almond croissants from my favorite sourdough bakery. Honestly, I could put just about anything from that bakery on here, but I want one of their almond croissants in particular. Sourdough croissants and danishes are just next level good.

#honorable mentions in no particular order: #coffee from the local coffee shop especially their white chocolate cold brew with raspberry cold foam #when I get comments on my fanfics #anteaters #classical music #when I solve a problem at work #when I guess correctly on the weekly Piano Puzzler #Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds (as well as concept albums in general) #when my hair dye turns out better than I expected #Indian food especially butter chicken with some nice garlic or rosemary naan #Detroit style pizza #my tattoos #I've just got a lot of stuff to be happy about!

15. name a favorite person in your canon!

@worthtrouble

“Check the grin, you’re in love.” /u know exactly what he means

         She’s smiling, a beautiful smile that glows like the moon, brighter than any star in the sky. It’s almost relieving that someone knows. It only took Kuwei one look at her face, after he asked about Kaz, to know. It is freeing, like standing on the deck of her ship, hands on the wheel with the sky sprawled above her.

            “ The heart is an arrow. It demands to aim true. Mine is pointed at Kaz. “ Inej answers and it’s her way of saying that yes, she’s in love with him. It’s nothing like her father had once told her. There are no geraniums or flowers on her door. But there is a ship and a berth that waits for her in Ketterdam. There are no jewels, but there is a room for her at the Slat. There is someone who knows her, perhaps better than she knows herself.

                She thinks of his scheming face, his haircut, his gloves and what lies beneath them. She thinks of his rare smile and the rough burr of his voice. She thinks of the moments of bliss when their lips meet. She thinks of the way she is content when their fingers hold them together. Most of all, she thinks of all the things he has told her ( I would come for you ) and the way he looked at her.

                She thought and she remembered and remained completely unable to conceal her emotions from Kuwei.
