#will this help me keep better track? #no shelf control #this is what happens when you get a library card when you shouldn't #because you should be catching up on books for work first #or hitting deadlines for advance reader copies #or reading the books you hauled with you that have been on the the tbr pile for years #i've only been able to read comics and graphic novels these days yike #books #reading #tbr #poetry #fiction

everyone: *freaking out about literally everything going on this episode

meanwhile me: *trying to figure out how the hell Morio Kart supposedly works when there’s not a single button Rei constantly presses to drive

#do the karts just go by themselves #does he have scrub auto gas on #wHY IS HE NOT USING THE SHOULDER BUTTONS #WHAT IS THE CONTROL SCHEME I NEED ANSWERS #buddy daddies #spoilers #i guess lol #for Ep 6 #this is also me coping with no answers to my three room mysteries #but I guess I can grab some new kitchen screenshots and a better view of the tv shelf which is nice #gonna do that later though

I know some people question whether it's okay to laugh at the billionaires dying in the obvious death trap (not me. HA! fucking hilarious) but one thing we can all agree on is the beautiful justice that the dumb shit moron CEO of the whole company is down there and he only has himself to blame.

#personal #like the other people also only have themselves to blame #but they didn't build the sub with off the shelf parts that have awful reviews #if they didn't die instantly the ceo had a rough time of it #once they realised he was useless they probably beat him to death with the Logitech controller 🎮 #oceangate #titanic

I’m just gonna assume you’ve read Wings of Fire cause like. Dragons. Fav character and/or dragon type? I personally like Icewings, and Glory :3 (it’s been years since I’ve read the series and i never got to finish it😞😞)

oh, yeah lmao. 5th grade me saw a book with a dragon on front and could not resist! (though i also have not finished it. i have all the books but the last one remains unread bc, quite frankly, the story/quality has degraded and i couldnt get into this arc)

i'm also a big Glory fan - she was my original blorbo & my fav from the start <3 but tbh i gotta say that Sandwings are my favorite type nowadays. they're just really neat!

#honestly from favorite breed to least its gotta go #sandwing > rainwing > seawing > nightwing > icewing > mudwing > skywing #GODDDD BUT GLORY MY BELOVED <3 #i latched onto her like a limpet as soon as i read her on-page! #i remember reading her book for the first time... i think its still my favorite <3 #if only for Her. otherwise we all know darkstalker's book is the best. like damn. that book fucked severely what the hell #rambles from the bog #i have a full shelf dedicated to my wof collection #it was my first fandom & to this day my longest running fixation! #i used to know everyone's names and the full lore and just aaaaaaa i used to be so fucking obsessed #im no longer fixated with it which makes me kinda sad but yk #i do not control the hyperfixation! #and it had a good run. 5th grade to late in highschool <3 #i still have a deep fondness for it and i still like thinking about it though. sometimes ill draw for it when i feel Nostalgic #or just feeling feelings about it...

people keep focusing on the submarine being piloted with a wireless game controller but that's actually not the concerning part of the whole setup. its actually pretty normal

#us navy literally uses off the shelf xbox controllers for some stuff

Some excellent finds in the second hand section of the bookstore today!

too many posts in the astarion tag like, "if you like astarion, it's only bc you liked [some dude character i don't give 2 shits about] first 😏"

#i do not care about loki i do not care about solas i do not care about kylo ren #lisssssten if i'm gonna be completely honest: if i had to draw parallels between my faves i would put astarion closest to arid #AKA the ''robot'' in my tumblr icon #which sounds nuts at first bc they're so diametrically opposed aesthetically #HOWEVER both of them fill the same niche of: #''being created to be tortured‚ consumed‚ and ultimately sacrificed in their creator's quest for power and control'' #''who finds themself suddenly free of the three rules set by their master to which they were formerly bound'' #''and subsequently threatens to recreate all of their creator's worst excesses in their desperate attempts to be free of his abuse'' #LIKE. maybe i'm insane. but they sit on the same shelf in my head. #astarion

The bookstore the poets go to every just about every weekend has a little area just for notebooks and Todd, ever the writer, can’t help himself and buys one nearly every time they go. He ends up with so many that he has to start using Neil’s desk drawers to store them because he ran out of room on his side, but still doesn’t realize he has far too many until Charlie makes a joke about it. Todd ended up kind of freaking out about it because “oh my god I’m so stupid and wasteful how am I ever gonna use all these oh my god oh my god oh my god” Once he calms down Neil promises to keep him away the next time they all go.

#It doesn’t work btw #Neil also has no self-control (esp when it comes to Todd) and buys him a notebook whenever they’re browsing and Todd so much as glances to #The notebook shelf #They do go less often tho #So that slows it down #Everyone clap for Todd he only buys a one or two notebooks a month I’m so proud #dead poets society #todd anderson #neil perry #anderperry #dead poets #dead poets headcanons #dps

Self-indulgent OC moments, but Wyll would be so disappointed to actually meet Gorion's Ward in my Realms. Never meet your heroes, I guess.

It's kind of like if you took the basics of Gortash and Ascended Astarion and distilled them into a 2'11" lesbian hellbent on controlling the world so it can't hurt her anymore, who also thinks failing to return library books should be a criminal offense... I mean as a character she predates them by a decade, but eh.

#On that note have I ever mentioned how INFURIATING it is that BG1+2 don't acknowledge that you're hin in conversations with other hin? #And just because she handles PR better than Bhaal as a death god doesn't mean she's a nice person #She was tyrant of the library as a child. It got worse. #“Everything has its place and function; when things are out of order they don't function smooth- put that book on the right shelf or die." #And then it turned out that the world outside was in fucking shambles and the gods are incompotent and it was like: #“OK so I'm the only competent person on Toril and I need to take control now.” #babbling #OCs #Solath

having so many books i’m literally having to start a physical book and crossing off books when i read them so i have motivation to read

#please help #i have no shelf space but i keep buying #i have no impulse control

anyway I really do like the idea that his darling spawn shri’iia who’s whole job is to adore him forever and an eternity becomes his very undoing bc he fails to account what that would mean to her. like baby girl you just validated each and every one of her flaws and ugly side just like she validated yours. now you’re stuck with that 🫶🥰🤭

#like the reverse uno card of her telling him to stay as he is forever bc he’s perfect that way… and his slow realisation that he can’t ever #change bc she won’t let him .. and the anger that will surface bc it’s another person controlling him but it’s disguised under LOVE ????? #but then he treats her like a pretty bauble that sits uselessly at the shelf. just there to love and adore him and look beautiful and love #him forever and forever … the realisation that she reverse uno card him and she sees HIM that way too #like yes he has power over her quite literally she’s his spawn but she doesn’t see him as someone to be feared #nope. in her eyes he’s there to be loved and adored and to be praised so why would he change perfection? she doesn’t understand that ..! #now they’re stuck with each other for eternity 🥰😭🤭 and she wouldn’t have it any other way lmfao #like if he was smarter about it maybe he could’ve utilised her the way the matriarch did but he’s not a details guy ok he’s not a planning #person.. and I think if he ascended he’ll just grow worse lol #shut up about bg3.
