Jane Eyre is, at its core, about an intelligent woman who achieves financial stability and decides that she will take her new independence and make her ex remember every day how fucking lucky he is to have her and what a moron he was to treat her like shit.

And if that isn't worth reading at least twice, tell me what is.

i hate you romantically involved characters who talk to each other like they’re in a couples counseling session, i hate you watering down of the word toxic, i hate you plot twists where the male love interest is actually a villain because see, silly girl? in the REAL world guys like that are DANGEROUS, i hate you relationship therapist breaks down movie couple’s relationship videos, i hate you “romeo and juliet were just stupid horny teenagers” “belle had stockholm syndrome” “wuthering heights isn’t romantic” hot takes, i hate you sanitization of romance in fiction

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

[littlelindarose]

Oh yes.

I've been in such a slump. Nothing has been hitting. But so far this has been okay. Fantastic prose, I keep wanting to annotate but I don't have a pencil.

what's a book you read as a teenager that was so magical and personally profound to you it literally changed your life, doesnt matter if the book was actually well written or not. mine's probably the catcher in the rye

#Eleanor and park? maybe? #I remember reading it and wishing I could wipe my brain and read it again #it captured small town life so specifically #it felt so real

Another cutesy moment with Beast and Belle where he interrupts story time for a head boop ~<3

[littlelindarose]

Recently I had the opportunity to experience the amazing Beauty and the Beast ride in Tokyo, which has rekindled my love for that film. I was having to hold back tears the entire time.

But I've always wanted to see more of Belle and Beast bonding. And I know that Beast would be so soft to cuddle up with. XD

Today I'm fucking speaking out about Jude St. Francis' asexuality. I fucking hate when people say oh but it's trauma induced, as if that means people who are asexual as a result of trauma shouldn't be included. Jude St. Francis never got to fucking find out what he would've been without that trauma, but as it stands, he is asexual and that should be respected!!!!!!

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.
