#art #ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator #i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books #vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading #ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working #let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny.. #posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned. #morrowind #almalexia #vivec #im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment #so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized #it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor #and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result #i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was #vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking #acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention #like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is #but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc #anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving #but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials #and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc #so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize #and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough #the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right #that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things #and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that #important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree #oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad. #tes

Only Dull People Are Brilliant At Breakfast by Oscar Wilde

I read this collection of quotes a couple of years ago, and ever since I have wanted a physical copy of this book. I decided it was finally time to get one and have a reread. I love Wilde and this collection of quotes feels a lot like a trip into his brain, it got me really motivated to finally pick up The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.

#if you dig into my blog you will also find my first review of this book #this post is mostly here to record that I reread this book this year #2024 book #bookblr #booklr #books #book review #book rec #reading #oscar wilde #mine #the---hermit #i thought i posted this weeks ago but apparently i had forgot oops

reading the sansa chapter where she's forced to marry tyrion under cersei's and joffrey's orders against her wishes and she tries to run and beg not to only to be glared at and insulted moments after she put on a new dress and finally felt pretty and started thinking that if she married willas she could make him love her and be happy in highgarden

#sansa stark #tyrion lannister #cersei lannister #asoiaf #me in 2024 sansa posting frfr. but christ alive man i nearly started bawling on the park bench #valyrianscrolls #a song of ice and fire #chaos reads #grrm #this book unlocks a secret kind mental illness in every person who reads it. #my brother in christ reading sansa's sent me back into a past life. when she calls herself dumb in her thoughts and cersei degrades her whe #cersei makes her wear joffrey's jewelry when when when

Inspired by other blogs, here are the books I've read this year 💛

I sort of shied away from reading goals, and I just read when/what I felt like reading.

It was a good year filled with great reads all the same 🌻

MiqoMarch Day 22 - Fav. Zone

"The sand's a bit different from that of my isle in the Southern Sea, as is the rock, and some of the grasses. Even still I catch myself feeling nostalgic for that place whenever I come to the Cieldalaes. It's a little strange considering I much prefer my life now to how it was back then. Shtola and Raha both have assured me it's for the best that I have this sanctuary. They believe I aught to have somewhere where being the warrior of light is of no consequence. Where those pressures I place on myself get washed away in the first waves to lap at my feet. They're probably right (they usually are) ... but I'd still wager they more so enjoy having a tropical location to escape to over the colder weekends in Old Sharlayan. I know I sure do."

Is it bad to say Happy New Years 22 days in?

Well what can I say, it’s been a wild start to the year, and my only way to cope was rewatching and rereading the MDZS Manhua, Donhua, and of course rewatching The Untamed.

Reading the manhua in physical copy is so nice! After years of fan translations, it’s nice to have the official physical translation in my hands.

But my god when I tell you I have gone through a million emotions revisiting the series on repeat this month alone. It’s been super fun to have something else to think about!

Books of 2024: NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology, ed. by Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.

This has a bunch of authors I already love in it (Stephen Graham Jones, Darcie Little Badger, Waubgeshig Rice, and Rebecca Roanhorse!!), and several authors I've been meaning to try (like Tommy Orange, Nick Medina, and Kelli Jo Ford, to name a few), so I'm really hyped for them all to be together in one volume! Plus dark fiction is very much my jam (especially when it comes in a bright and colorful package).

Destiny. We all have a moment that changes us.

When I was a kid my mom and I watched the Shogun miniseries with Richard Chamberlain. She absolutely adored him. I became entranced by the world. The moment changed my life. When Blackthorne learns Japanese from Mariko, that is me learning right along with him. It is because of this series that I eventually studied Japanese and karate.

I remember inhaling Shogun and then the rest of the Asian Saga by James Clavell. Thankfully I grew up in a house where books were celebrated. My parents had a library that covered two 20' long walls top to bottom. Hundreds of books that I could get lost in. It was a dream come true.

Fast forward 40 years and FX has done a remake of Shogun. To say that I was nervous and had high hopes would be an understatement. Just finished watching the first two episodes and all I can say so far is that it has exceeded my expectations. The music. The scenery. The costumes. The details that bring a book to life. This series has it in spades. It is going to be a masterpiece. Go check it out if you get a chance. You can watch the series on FX, Hulu, and Disney+.

Books I’ve read in 2024: ‘Babel' or 'The Necessity of Violence' by R.F. Kuang | Historical Fantasy | 5/5

"It doesn't matter how lenient, how gracious, how invested in your education they make out to be. Masters are masters in the end."

#babel #babel an arcane history #r f kuang #robin swift #books #babel or the necessity of violence #fair warning this book killed me #it's slow going at first but stick with it if you like dark academia and hate the british empire #also thoughts: should I read the poppy war? #I also loved yellowface #but series kinda scare me tbh #also also I've not posted on tumblr in years and you can edit tags now?? game changer #books 2024

Ending to Dune Part 2 be like...

"Let's go on a holy war! I'm sure nothing bad will come from this. All those cryptic visions where billions of people die? Forgeddaboudit that's probably nothing. This Paul Atreides guy totally knows what he's doing. I sure nothing terrible will happen now that he has an army of rabidly zealous followers who worship him as the Lisan al-Gaib."

Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious.
