#the book yknow

[bistephs]

god i love rating classics on goodreads. this book was published in 46 BC and has been cited in philosophical/historical/religious texts for over 2000 years. entire chapters are lost to history. it has been translated dozens if not hundreds of times with each new edition representing the pinnacle of a scholar’s life’s work. i gave it 3 stars.

#book talk #feels a bit sacrilegious but yknow in the fun way

"what if you had a mutual aid network that occasionally told interdimensional monsters to fuck off": Discworld witches as a concept

#so much of the Tiffany books in particular are about day to day community support #doing the chores... checking in on the elders who don't have family.... sitting up with the dead #it takes the quiet often uncelebrated everyday work of living and dying #and sets it right up against slaying vampires or vanquishing monsters #and maybe that's another reason why they aren't as popular #beyond yknow. centering women #but man maybe we need more books celebrating the heroism of clipping a lonely 90 year old man's toenails for him #discworld #perpetual perpetual ladies night #why this

tomarry hot take: I actually don’t think Harry would even come close to defeating Tom in a duel

I think he COULD come close, with extreme levels of training and practice, but that classic “step into DADA and whoop Tom’s ass” scene? guys…I have something to confess.

Tom’s a fucking nerd.

he’s studied and practiced dark magic for years. he’s canonically regarded by DUMBLEDORE as the most brilliant student to ever walk through Hogwarts. Tom would DESTROY him.

imho the real fun of tomarry comes from the subsequent arc of Harry training to defeat him, and then actually coming close, and THEN Tom starts to become intrigued bc who the fuck is this semi-competent little shit?? and why is he now thinking about him all the time??

#tom marvolo riddle #tom riddle #harry potter #tomarry #ao3 #cinus isn’t talking about tompercy? ​blasphemy! #we’re all entitled to do what we want though #ashamed to admit that I still eat that duel scene up every time #but yknow #let’s be fr #harry is surprisingly competent when he’s interested in the subject #desperately cites the Patronus charm #and like three lines in the first books

Every day I feel the vicious urge to start working on a fake opening title sequence to The Grand Galloping 20s' first story, The Witch From Ponyville, as a proof of concept. I've been watching old Disney movie openings.

#personal #delete later #unfortunately this would require an inordinate amount of work #especially for the storybook opening. maybe i could repurpose a book from a thrift store but eh #i'm also a crappy painter eh #i just like it when these projects feel real yknow #it'd be a shame if this project was stuck as character designs and comics forever

Absolutely loving the fact that, despite Dracula being adapted to death and back by media over the last century, a lot of people don't actually know the original story. As in, here we are, in 2022, tagging spoilers for a 125 year old novel that most people thought they knew from it's countless adaptations but turned out to not know at all. It's great. I love it. Thanks for sharing your first-time reactions to this comedy of an old book.

#it's good to remember that we have 125 years of hindsight when reading this though #people back in 1897 didn't know the things we know today #their worldview was very different from ours and they didn't know all the spooky tropes we know today #since yknow this book was part of the ones who started those tropes to begin with #yes Dracula is a comedy by todays standard and please continue to make fun of our Dear Friend Jonathan and Domestic Teeabo Dracula #but also remember that this book is Old as Fuck #and very old timey English(tm) #so there's inevitably gonna be descriptions and character-opinions that reflect that #just good to keep in mind #anyway love yall #keep on what you're doing #I'm having a blast reading all of your funny Dracula posts #Dracula Daily #Dracula #Bram Stoker's Dracula #babbling in the tags I guess

Theres something about big booktoker/booktuber shelves that really heebies my jeebies

#its the all new everything #the identical matching hardback covers #of books that every other bookwhatever has #its the long rows of illumicrate botm etc editions #wheres the old favourites? the books so loved through youve sellotaped the covers on #but still refuse to throw away? #wheres the ugly impulse purchase thrift finds that just sounded too intriguing to leave #wheres the mismatched series bc you couldnt wait to read the next book #wheres the hand me downs that you dont like that much but have so much sentimental value #your old childrens books? your textbooks bc you got really into a subject for no reason? #the library book you forgot to return 5 yeads ago and is just yours now oops #yknow. the books that make your shelf look like it belongs to a human #instead of something an ai spat out

does aftg count as a slow burn if we didn't even know there was a spark until the last book

#and tbh after that was established everything went relatively quickly #raise your hand if you had to google if the books contain romance halfway through reading #raise if your hand if you had to google who the main ship even is immediately after #🙋‍♀️ #yknow that one post that said aftg is only a slow burn the second time you read it #yeah #aftg #andreil #the foxhole court #all for the game #tfc #nora sakavic #andrew minyard #neil josten

Edit: Tyler with celestia tee existed. Same brain. Same brain..

Hello fight club fandom. It is absolutely abysmal and also a crime how no one (at least to my knowledge) has drawn Tyler Durden in the princess celestia t shirt. We missed out

I have brainstormed multiple fc drawing ideas and hope that they become real.

#my art #art #illustration #fight club #soapshipping #tyler durden #the narrator #yknow I didn’t fully vibe with the movie but here I am with the book on its way #so in actuality #I’m sick #they made me deathly ill #in the awesome way #also you guys should read fc soapshipping fics on AO3 #genuinely banger holy moly #tbh after the day I watched the movie I wanted to rewatch it #that says enough #Tyler can durden deez nuts

when people act like the only problems kon ever has are a) tim dating bernard and b) lex luthor

#rimi talks #every time i see another of those posts its just ben affleck with cig.png #deep fried ben with cig.png #i love my little boy more than you i dare you i dare you etc #lex can be an interesting and fun villain in kon's life but so many people are just... geofflike about it. #and they always fuck the kon&clark relationship which always makes me want to bite. #and as for tim/ber its just like.... do w/e idc but leave kon out of it if ur just gonna treat him as an accessory to tim lmao #hes his own character not just tims abandoned love interest #and i say this as someone who LIKES timkon!!! #but the timkon i like is like. yknow. the canon comic book interactions they have. where they have like. mutual respect and shit #not cardboard cutout kon who's only there to prop up wishy washy drippy pathetic nothing tim #tough to like timkon while the entire fucking timkon tag is my enemy

Minor spoilers for the already revealed chapters of the next A Starless Clan book Wind

#a starless clan #a starless clan spoilers #wind spoilers #asc spoilers #warrior cats spoilers #warriors #warrior cats #tigerheart #tigerheartstar #tigerstar 2 #tigerstar #Squirrelflight #squirrelstar #frostpaw #Nightheart #I’ve been wanting to draw this ever since the chapters were revealed and what better time than like two days til the book comes out #i actually think tigerheartstar is an interesting character in this arc he genuinely thinks he’s doing the right thing and he does honestly #want to help. he just does it by trying to crack dad jokes to lighten the mood while trying to run a group that doesn’t want him there #i also think it’s funny that he’s consistently just chill with taking in cats thrown out of their clans. ESPECIALLY from RiverClan #don’t get me wrong he’s super weird in omen of the stars and avos and I think in his super edition (I haven’t read it in a while) #but he’s also a good dad. he’s such a perplexing character I can’t help but find him interesting. at least he DOES stuff yknow #I’ll eat my words if he does turn out to be completely evil or something. but I’ll hate if he does his behavior really isn’t like Tigerstar #-the first. this guy isn’t out here trying to seize power #but ENOUGH ABOUT HIM!! Nightheart asking squirrelstar if frostpaw could come to thunderclan with him was so sweet #i wish she’d accepted I don’t want them to split up I’m worried the writers will forget the entire last book and they won’t be close again
