"Oh dear," the unicorn thought. "I must've really mucked up the story beyond compare! The Red Bull Luo Binghe is protecting the last unicorn scum?! Unconscionable! He should have driven me off the cliff by now!!"

#dont ask why binghe gets to be a human but sqq has to be a unicorn #maybe hes prince lir in this au actually wait omg that would be good #half human half red bull sxy was freakay #the unicorn turning human to disguise herself is obviously sqqs plant body allegory #binghe sniffing around the castle: where is shizun i can still smell him? suspiciously sqq shaped human: gulp #binghe's tragic backstory in this au i guess is that he meets shen qingqiunicorn as a kid and sqq can sense that hes half fae and so #takes him semi under his wing but is like a prick about it until binghes seal breaks and they find out that hes a red bull fae #and shen jiu stabs him into the ocean something something abyss he comes back gets adopted by haggard kills every unicorn by throwing them #into the ocean as well before picking off shen jiunicorn last. and then sy fucks it all up #it's been like a decade since i read the book sorry #svsss #scumbag self saving system #scum villain's self saving system #bingqiu #shen qingqiu #sqq #lbh #luo binghe #my art #svsss last unicorn au

A friend texted me recently "I discovered that you can ship up to 30kg of books for pretty cheap with the 'books & brochures' postal rate—would you want that as a birthday gift?" and I said "Of course I want 30kg of books for my birthday" and she delivered!

It amounted to 87 books 😭 Pan & I were in awe when I opened the box. It's hard to think of a better birthday gift than 30kg of books. (well since quality of content was also a factor she wasn't able to get the exact sizes needed to reach 29.9999 kg as originally intended, so it's "only" 28.8kg) (currently under consideration: a 1.2kg book for Christmas to round this up)

#i think pandolf was enthusiastic because i was but still #he was examining every book like ''i don't even go there but they smell interesting''

mr d is very funny in the show However. his first conversation with percy also just highlights how they've messed with the smelly gabe storyline in a way that is making me very nervous.

when percy met him in the lighting thief he immediately identified him as drunk adult = dangerous. a guy who would be sitting at gabe's poker game, saying nothing as percy is belittled and gabe demands his money. whether or not mr d would actually do that is irrelevant. it shows how percy is affected by gabe, that he hates him to the point that he would try to join the army or be homeless in new york before living alone with him after he thought his mom was dead. book percy would have had the joke conversation about dionysus being his dad and felt insanely betrayed that the kind sailor from sally's stories that he dreamed about had turned out to be someone just like smelly gabe.

but instead, gabe is just some guy. like he sucks but not to an extent that would drive them to kill him by the end of the season, at least not from what we've seen so far. talking to dionysus percy is just angry and confused about what's going on and upset by the loss of his mom, dionysus does not concern him at all. he is not especially upset by the idea of mr d being his dad except for his having ignored him up to this point.

like, the show is being kind of weird imo in terms of how the characters are reacting to the things that happen to them and having them react differently than they do in the books. and also we aren't in percy's head now the way we were in the books, and he often had very different internal vs external reactions to things in the books and i'm sure this would have been among them. but "can you help me find my father?" "actually i think i can... son. go get me a bottle of wine" would NOT have flown in tlt

#pjo adaptation #percy jackson #dionysus #poplars.txt #like i love that scene but we are telling different stories in the book vs the show andthe abuse storyline does not seem to have come along #percy falls into hell 2 years after gabe dies and says the air in tartaurus smells like him #sorry 4 years

Got this idea from @solarpunkani but now I've gotten the image in my head I can't get it out

Libraries with herbs growing up the walls and fruit trees blooming inside and mint plants you can pick and chew in while reading a book. A section with a butterfly garden you could read in!!

Convos in the sunken living room bathed in colorful sunlight and surrounded by plants

“Social media has made this generation so narcissistic and self centered everyone’s always posting selfies and posting about everything they do during the day” shut up. The human desire to show you exist and you were here is innate and we’ve been doing it since the days we were leaving hand prints on cave walls

#I’m in a romantic mood rn don’t mind my bullshit lol #I have a lot of feelings abt the idea of how we want to show we exist and be seen #it’s really a shame I don’t see this idea explored much in media #there is stuff about leaving behind a legacy in media sure but that’s not quite the same #bojack did do this which I rly liked #in the episode where he’s giving a speech at his moms funeral #talking about how she said ‘I see you’ before she died #the desire to just be seen #also this book I like called moral lessons had a chapter on this #it was a chapter about smoking and how part of the appeal of smoking is #you sort of prove you’re existence. the smoke and the smell of it goes beyond you and your presence is undeniable #and the same is for wearing perfume #‘’​‘I am here’ she sniffs happily ‘I am really here’’’ #I rly like this book lol #edit: it’s mortal lessons not moral lessons #my bad lol #also the author is Richard Selzer #if anyone’s interested in reading it

[MASTERPOST]

Eskel is like "I WILL read this book about... A wolf and all his friends? Dancing and being. happy... 🥺"

#the witcher netflix #geraskier lovechild #eskel #soft eskel #geraskier #(no jeskel I am sorry but honestly I can see it at times) #omegaverse #listen retrospectively Eskel will slap his face (repeatedly) because it is at times pretty obvious (but only if you know!!) #did Milek accidentally call Eskel 'daddy' a few times? ofc he did. (how should Eskel know that he didn't just mixed it up in excitement.) #'oh he clearly meant his omega father' WELL #Roach should have been an indicator! but it's either that that name is in one of jaskiers songs (probable) and jaskier is like #'oh yeah he likes that one bard song about the horse - I swear he loves horses' #(that isn't even a lie and it's very Jaskier to compose an ode for Roach) #or he just goes 'We heard stories about a witcher crossing our town-' #and now wolf themed kids book. it's- #oh well #a lot of things are obvious when you look back to them #and I think Eskel could have made the connection! if Jaskier still had a lute. he would have gone at least once '... geralts omega bard??' #(who Geralt didn't really talk about but who they always could still smell traces of on him - bad thing that scents change after pregnancy) #but no lute?? connection not made. #that's the one jaskier thing Eskel knows of. always has a lute. #and retrospectively he can see that Milek and Geralt really look alike - it's at this age more obvious than later - because that is the age #that Eskel remembers. In which he still has a mental picture of what Geralt looked like? but it's been SO LONG #over a century #and Eskel was a traumatized child too. Things are. Very muddy. #the only ones who have a chance to recognize Milek are Visenna and Vesemir and that's it.

A computer does not smell ... if a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better… And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn’t do that for you. I’m sorry.

I think he likes the way Crowley smells. Look at him taking a deep breath while Crowley can't see his face. He's also probably replaying that night in 1941 when something happened.

He can feel love. Can he smell magic? Or lust?

Dear fanfiction writers, according to Rose in the Christmas Invasion novel, the Doctor canonically smells like “[an] odd combination of chalk dust, boiled sweets, lime and diesel.” Do with this information what you will.

#and his smell stayed the same across regenerations #all i have to say is… rose felt the need to smell him and confirm that he did in fact smell the same #doctor who #timepetals #rose tyler #tenth doctor #tenrose #the doctor x rose #doctor who books
