several books could benefit from daring to be so succinct

#to be very clear i dont dislike sex scenes in books. at all. but if youre going to be boring about it......#nothing wrong with a good ol fade to black #also no need to write out every single one. i say as someone writing a very sex heavy story #but this one has a lot of good plot going on and i was relieved to see this. to be honest #really kept the pacing going #and made me smile #book thoughts #the same breath

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

#also if it wasnt clear this isnt ‘its bad its lazy’ there is a level of like #completion consistancy i am thinking for with this #personally i really do not enjoy the like. vintage chic long red nails fur coats noir esque aesthetic HOWEVER 💥💥💥#i can recognize that it is put together it is Intentional #i feel like a lot of people are going to say minimalism on this so LET ME SAY 🫰☝️ i recognize that minimalism is Considered an aesthetic #but i *PERSONALLY* do not consider it an aesthetic i consider it the void of one #it is a lapse in aesthetic or personality in the same way a silence in a song is still technically a ‘beat’ but no music is played #however the importance of Space or Breath in design is more akin to a purposeful silence in music #because that silence matters in the same way rhythm and breath in design do #so i guess minimalism is more comparable to like. white noise. the sound of a fan #very little effort and there is a comfort in it i suppose but its not. A Design. okay #TO ME 🤫#if minimalism has one hater its me if minimalism has no haters im dead

Presenting: King Sidon, his wife Queen Yona and his boyfriend Link.

Yona is very supportive of everything except Sidon forgetting his ceremony cues.

(I had an atrocious week and TotK has been coming in clutch for keeping me sane.)

#totk spoilers #loz totk #sidlink #link x sidon #totk yona #totk link #totk sidon #tears of the kingdom #I love Yona I adore her design oh my god #If I were to create a Zelda-sona it'd basically just be her with different clothes so I'm contractually obligated to love her #But Nintendo trying to give Sidon a case of the not-gays with her is hilarious #The man greets his fiancée like a coworker and then turns around to explode with adoration over Link in the same breath #This is either a Lavender Marriage or a case of 'every royal Zora finds Link irresistible'. I like both but prefer the former #Like. Yona meets Zelda once things are settled and gets all flustered and tongue tied #and neither Sidon or Link have any idea what's going on because they share 1 braincell #which is used exclusively for fighting really good #sharky art #zelda comic

don’t see enough posts on here normalizing having good relationships with your parents. not everyone does but those who do shouldn’t feel bad about it.

anyway shout out to my parents for wanting to go to a concert with me and my sister last night and singing louder than all of the 20 year old girls around us. fucking goated as hell i had a blast.

#if you were at the 5sos show at msg on 8/21 congrats you breathed the same air as me :)#not a tag #from saph

Palestinians are blamed for not being kind enough to their occupiers again and again. For not using the right words to describe them. And then they turn around and try to preach politics to us, how we're "oversimplifying" things. I promise you — we know how the system works better than you do. That is why it is all of our dreams to change it. To continue to play in this system is acceptance of the occupier's logic and practices. We will not accept such a thing because their goals are antithetical to our lives. Do not fall for their propaganda — their goal is to obfuscate the truth with half truths and incomparable circumstances.

#40+ days of my peoples genocide being broadcasted on live tv.#palestine #gaza #i am so exhausted #and yet they make it about themselves #i cannot understand how selfish you have to be to make it about yourself #when 75+ years of occupation have occurred #these same people will not spare a breath to share palestinian voices #unless you can unequivocally can say 'land back' then you are not an ally

dazai breathlessly watching his partner in an inhuman, corrupted state and still finding him beautiful has to be another kind of love

#literally seven years later from that line in fifteen. it's the same fucking expression #“even dazai forgot how to breathe as he watched the storm that was chuuya decimate the battlefield”#look at the life in his eyes. the mesmerized expression. he has seen this hundreds of times and it is still beautiful to him every time #the awe. “that's my partner.”#ahem anyway. i reread this volume like once every week. it's my favorite one.#bsd #skk

This image has been stuck in my head since I first watched episode 76 back in early January but I was busy with uni so it had to wait

#critical role #m9 #art #cr2 #fjord stone #fjord #critical role fanart #mighty nein #This moment reminds me of “First Light” so much it's the only thing I can think about while listening to this song #One bright morning changes all things #Soft and easy as your breathing #and also #But after this I'm never gonna be the same #And I am never going back again #I think about this a lot

finished The Same Breath by gregory ashe. i liked it. a lot. it's about a wildlife vet and a career grifter who asks him for help in finding his missing brother. but their amateur investigation quickly becomes more confusing and dangerous than either of them expected.

this book has place. maybe it stood out to me because i haven't felt that in a few of the recent books i've read, but even then it felt exceptional. this is Utah. and there is no way to forget it. along with the scenery and architecture, i loved the frequent inclusion of local plants as a means of location flavor, and how the geography had a weight and a presence in the story. i took so many such quotes:

it was a great way to tie the characters to their environment, and you all already know how much i love nature. you could really feel the love the author must have for it too.

as for the characters - they are deeply flawed. and they make mistakes. often. were they my favorite characters ever? no. was i ever bored by them? never. is their relationship healthy? god no. does it compel? yes. i liked how their relationship wasn't straightforward. i liked how Tean was allowed by the narrative to still have feelings for his previous longtime lover, and to struggle with moving on. i liked how Jem was often out of control and making messy mistakes in his fear and grief.

i liked how, despite the book being on the longer side, there was still a lot said without saying anything. the weight of the absence of clarity, giving only enough to infer on your own the more gruesome details that make up the pain sitting heavy in these characters.

the mystery was also good. i was never sure where it would go next, and i enjoyed the part Tean's wildlife vet experience got to play. the pacing was great, i really enjoyed the length, and i only have a handful of minor complaints (like characters saying they hadn't eaten dinner, when it previously showed them having said dinner). otherwise it did feel quite polished and well put together. the story gets bleak, and heavy, and these two have so much work to do on their mental health. but i was moved, and i laughed (a lot, actually). the dialogue held charm and lent a lot to characterization on its own, and i'm really interested in seeing how their relationship will progress in the next book.

#i forgot it was supposed to be a series until i finished tbh but im very intrigued #up next is no.6 though and then i'll get back to these guys. otherwise i would start the next book right away #book thoughts #the same breath #the lamb and the lion

i’m forever going crazy over the fact that Zelda used to think she was nothing as a person bc she couldn’t awaken her sealing power when every eye of hyrule was on her and she couldn’t protect them and her own father even had her believing that. so when she met sonia and rauru (even true with urbosa) and they gave her the guidance and comfort she needed to freely use her powers on her own schedule that when she was able to blast away those moldugas with ease that she was in disbelief of herself bc she didn’t think she was capable of doing that. so when she made the choice to turn into a dragon to restore the master sword, it was her final message to herself and the future of hyrule that she wouldn’t let herself be nothing (like she was always told she was) by that final selfless act of love for her kingdom and im a mess about it

#link and urbosa were the only ones who loved her for who she was #but even urbosa knew that while she was a mother figure #it wasn’t the same #this is truly the best version of zelda #zelda #link #zelink #legend of zelda #legend of zelda tears of the kingdom #tears of the kingdom #totk #breath of the wild #botw #totk spoilers #light dragon

That last chapter of Glorious masquerade was crazy.

#twisted wonderland #glorious masquerade #idia shroud #azul ashengrotto #malleus draconia #rollo flamme #twst shitpost #(fire) clown to (fire) clown communication #clutching my fists and punching walls thinking abt rollos backstory #When his outfit and fireplace were craftable I lost it aswell #breathing his uniform like its an oxygen supply #I past the point of no return concerning bell rat guy #see you next year to get back your uniform Mr Rollo #The note says ’sorry hottie I’m borrowing this from you’#Although ’BG’ here is a french abreviation it would totally work with ’Beautiful Guy’ which means the same thing

"Both of you, faithless fools who would dare to take up arms against the king of earth and sky!"

The words "Zonai Ganondorf" entered my head and I haven't been sane since. Perhaps in the Zonai version of the legend, the warlord "Gannon" sought after the secret stones, and the incarnation of Hylia draconified herself to stop him alongside the Ancient Hero.
