One trope Im a big fan of in media is when the loyalty outweighs a conflict of interest. I don’t agree with what you’re doing, but I will follow where you go no matter what. I will do anything for you even if it opposes my own morals

I was tagged by @thequeerlibrarian to show my favorite book photos of 2023! I had a delightful time going through my year by bookish nonsense.

And to pass the joy along I'm tagging:

Wilhelm Trübner - Hemsbach Castle in the Odenwald (1905)

Verin: ok girls now tell the Whitecloak you’re sorry for trying to blow him up

Nynaeve: no I’m not sorry

Elayne: technically we don’t have to apologize because we didn’t actually try to blow him up, just all of the ground around him and his horse so technically it wasn’t him in danger so technically we didn’t even break the three oaths and legally speaking we did nothing wrong

Egwene: *visibly in the middle of a PTSD dissociative episode* haha sorry my bad

I put together a list of 14 must-reads in Japanese translation for Book Riot! Originally I had a huge stack photo of all the books I considered or read for the list, but naturally I seem to have deleted it from my phone. So here’s a new one featuring the ones I own! 

I discovered some really incredible new reads through this list, from Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami, tr. Sam Bett & David Boyd, to The Easy Life in Kamusari by Shion Miura tr. Juliet Winters Carpenter, to Hayao Miyazaki’s favorite childhood book and next film: How Do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino tr. Bruno Navasky. Check out my full, epic list!

having a side wound is such slut behavior tbh. like damn your waist is looking pretty grabbable right now 👀 due to needing to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. but also other factors.
