#The books are always so so big

[skyloftian-nutcase]

If anybody wants to know what studying medical stuff looks like, it’s a thousand words, acronyms, insanely over saturated flowcharts, lots of notes, and caffeine 👍🏻

#I have been staring at this for four hours #I want to scream #but also keep studying #Because another thing to know about medical stuff: this page 41 of 400 #The books are always so so big #My EMT book was 1600 pages #I use it now to squish bugs because it weighs 80lbs #random rambles #Four and I are studying critical care stuff #I am never leaving this library

i really wish the amount of love jaskier gets from the fandom was reflected in the show

every time you open your dash you’re probably bombarded by jaskier appreciation posts because this fandom fucking loves him and yet somehow all the show does is treat him like he’s disposable when he’s really really not

what makes matters worse is that he isn’t treated like this in the books so why the fuck is it like that in the show? jaskier deserves so much better

#and listen #you see the reaction to henry leaving? #i’m not saying it would be THAT big if anytbing like that happened with joey #because i think a lot of vg/book stans hate jaskier #but the outrage would be major #MAJORRRRRR #jaskier is important as fuck #all he does is put his life on the line for those three mains and it’s so sick that the show doesn’t show him any level of appreciation #and joey puts SO much into that character just to always get the short end of the stick #i despise those fucking writers #fuck it truly breaks my heart #jaskier #the witcher

Ok but can we talk about the absolute horror of being watched and monitored 24/7 that the ancients must have had. The citizenship drones being like an Alexa that's constantly following and listening to you (except it's five pebbles and not Alexa lmao). The fucking OVERSEERS. THEY'RE CALLED THAT FOR A REASON. BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING THEIR CITIZENS AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENT ALL THE TIME. (I would talk about the fact that they all show arti fucking ads as well but honestly idk what else to say about that. Capitalism got yet another society 😔). That's some fucking nightmare fuel dystopian society settings we are being hinted at. You know the Big Brother Is Watching You thing. The book. Yeah that's what it reminds me of.

The Iterator Is Watching You.

#imagine not being able to escape being watched any second of your life #imagine being one of the first ancients who saw an iterator come into being #imagine being one of the first ancients who had to go live on top of them #imagine being one of the first amcients to be constantly scrutinized by the overseers #i bet they knew this wasn't really a good thing #no matter how religious they were. by the time of pebbles though they were far too religiously indoctrinated to realize this was bad #(as a society i mean. theres always some who disagree and figure out what's going on) #disclaimer i have never read the book i am talking about and only know it through references and pop culture. still tho yk what i mean #rain world #rainworld #rain world iterator #rw iterator #iterator #rw five pebbles #five pebbles #im tagging him too even tho hes only mentioned i wanna reach more ppl with this #pls i may not have said everything i wanted to say cause i cant get my thoughts straight rn but i want to hear what yall think about this #agh the whole situation is so fucked imagine being the Big Brother in this and not even having a choice in it. #imagine that everyone with critical thinking knows this and cant do anything about it. #not even mentioning the cataclysmic level rain the iterators brought. like dude who thought this was a good idea. #imagine all this + the end of the world and its ecosystem as you know it happening right before your eyes #and you cant even blame the person at fault that much bc they were literally fucking born into this #rw overseer #forgot this one #rw ancients

i love uu complicated ai relationships and unreliable narrators

#i love u breq and mb going well this is just how it is and its always like that. and being slowly proven wrong #i know the realization mb has about three is in the book before this first quote but i also think thats interesting. it kinda walks itself #back on it #im choosing to read that as mb being in denial/scared a bit of the possibility that even other constructs are so different from it #bc secunits liking other secunits is such a big change for its worldview #+ its having kind of a bad time in system collapse. cant fault it for being depressed #txt #murderbot #imperial radch

SECRET SWEETH TOOTH: Sweets turned out to be one of Sisi’s favorite over-indulgences, and she was known to splurge on confections and pastries. She frequented Demel, the official patisserie of the Imperial Court, which was conveniently located across the street from the Hofburg. She would slip in and order thick hot chocolate, homemade truffles, and sumptuous slices of chocolate cake. She was especially fond of candied sugar violets, and always went home with a box. Her passion for violets was so great that she even indulged in her favorite treat, violet ice cream, when she wasn’t starving herself. THE FAIRY QUEEN: Sisi got the idea for her famous sparkling stars after attending a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Vienna's Burgtheater. The actress portraying Titania wore a sprinkling of glittering stars in her hair; inspired, Sisi then requested her own fairy stars from the imperial jeweler. She saw herself as the fairy queen Titania, and her bedroom (which she called "Titania's enchanted castle")  was painted at great expense with scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream by a young Gustav Klimt. THE LOOK: Her beauty routine was legendary. She used facial waters of rose, chamomile, lavender, and violet to remove impurities, and she would slather her cheeks with pure honey, rose petals and crushed strawberries. After her Rapunzel-esque hair was done to her satisfaction, it would be sprayed with Creed’s Fantasia de Fleurs, a heady floral fragrance created especially for the Empress, with a regal bouquet of the best Bulgarian roses.

I have no clue why they didn't make Amity more akin to a rival character instead of a bully. Because it would have solved A Lot of problems in regards to Amity and Willow, and Lumity becoming a thing.

The thing is that Lumity feels Super Weird at the start when Luz is trying to befriend Amity long before the girl shows any remorse for bullying Willow and making up for it. And it's not something easily brushed off when Amity is introduced being condescending and a dick to Willow. The bullying isn't something of the past, it's still going on.

Willow comes off as an afterthought in this dynamic, when she's the one who's been wronged by Amity the most. Their arc never feels like it resolves itself either, it just kinda peeters out.

If you've watched Little Witch Academia, Diana is who I think Amity should have emulated more. Diana is the top student at the school, she's stern and no-nonsense, a bit stuck-up, she comes from a prestigious family, she gets in conflict with the protagnoist, Akko, not because of bullying but because they have very different personalities and butt heads because of it. Akko considers Diana her rival, but this is one-sided on her part.

Willow and Amity could still have been friends in the past, but Amity instead pointedly ignores Willow's existence after their friendship has ended. She doesn't call out her friends for bullying Willow(that would make it seem like she cares) but she doesn't participate or encourage it. She's still not a good person, she still has to apologise to Willow, but changing their relationship from 'active bullying' to 'pretending Willow doesn't exist' would do a lot going forward for them I think. Still terrible, but more palatable in my eyes.

#the owl house #toh critical #i guess? #better safe than not #luz noceda #amity blight #willow park #lumity #honestly one-sided rivalry could have easily been part of the early pre-lumity dynamic #with luz still seeing TBI as a fantasy considering amity to be her rival because in stories like these the protagonist always has a rival #but it would lead to luz struggling to see amity as a person beyond the 'rival' trope #like less we forget this girl had no friends before coming to TBI #so she'd struggle communicating with amity outside of how this is 'supposed' to go #or how it went in the azura books between azura and hecate #but their friendship doesn't need a big event or battle to form and it actually complicates things instead #and just like in canon lost in language is what helps luz see more of the real amity and it's what begins the connection between them

Thinking about that scene in TW3 when Lambert puts on Vesemir's hat and does the goofiest impression of him ever this is how you know he's the youngest of the wolf bros

#the witcher books #the witcher 3 #he looks so stupid in it and it always makes me giggle #the hat looks way too big on him and I can't tell if thats bc of the overall style #or if its proof that vesemir has a bigger head asertert #'This is a job... for Vesemir!' Lambert you are so fucking stupid I love you

It's been a really busy week so I'm just going to indulge myself and talk about exactly what I'd love to be doing rn with CEO!Bucky

When I imagine CEO scenarios though, I don't think of the reader as his assistant or an intern. Maybe the CEO and his comms director. Someone he considers an equal because I think that's a hell of a lot more sexy and still has a power imbalance 🥵

He knows you're incredibly capable. He knows you've got more drive than anyone else in the company. He knows you've spent years pushing yourself to get to where you are and you're determined to keep climbing.

But at the same time; it's nice to get a break from that too. Sometimes it's nice to just be tossed around and given orders. You get to switch your brain off and give in to whatever feels good.

And that's how you found your knees hitting the plush grey carpet of the CEO's office on a Friday afternoon.

"Good girl. So fucking pretty." Bucky's hand on your chin directs your face upwards. He's continuing the task you started a few minutes prior; stroking his own cock at a leisurely place and enjoying the sight of you in front of him with your blouse missing the top few buttons.

There's nothing else you'd rather be doing right now. There's no other release that lets you unwind like this. You don't have to think about anything other than the glossy bead of precum gathering on the tip of your boss' dick and the way that even the sight of it makes your mouth water.

His other hand is still holding your chin but you don't want to just watch when you can do so much more than that. You lean over, taking the head of his cock in your mouth, flicking your tongue over the very tip to lap up the precum you've been craving.

Your hand replaces his, jerking his length slowly with a measured pressure while your tongue swirls, keenly licking away any fresh evidence of his arousal.

"Fuck." He groans, melting into your eagerness. He's had a long week too. You know he needs this as much as you do but he's just as respectful as ever, conscious not to press himself into your waiting mouth.

"I bet you're wet already, aren't you? You look like such a sweetheart. No one would ever guess that you get off on sucking my cock. I bet everyone thinks you're so innocent but they don't get to feel the way you drip down your own thighs after you swallow my cum." You imagine that mouth of his has got him in plenty of trouble over the years but fuck, you love it. You swear he could probably get you off just by talking to you.

You hum happily, taking as much of his length into your mouth as you can manage, wincing slightly the first time his tip nudges the back of your throat. Your flat tongue rolls against the underside of his length, your hand cupping his balls and you feel his palm settle on the back of his head.

"You're so fucking keen." His blunt fingernails scratch gently against the nape of your neck and it feels like such a tender gesture. You get to be unashamed of how keen you are with him. There's no embarrassment or reservation. You don't have to hold yourself back to save face and it's refreshing to want someone this much.

You head bobs on his length, your lips forming a perfect tight ring and every now and again, you're rewarded with the sharpness of some fresh precum smeared onto your tongue.

"You should slow down, sweetheart. I don't want to finish yet." His voice is a little strained and it's beautiful. Now you're torn though. You don't want this to end but you're desperate to feel hot ropes of his cum splash over your waiting tongue and across your face.

Somewhat selfishly, you do as you're told. Your body reminds you of your own desperation and you don't want to ruin your chances of getting bent over that desk.

#becca writes spice #becca's thots #ceo!bucky #dom!bucky #I survived the big scary thing I had to do this week besties #I'm told my speech had a few people teary eyed #big win #and I quite like the house I went to view this week #plenty of potential #gonna put an offer in if dad thinks it looks okay #I'm getting my new glasses tomorrow too #and I'm really excited to get my hair done #I'm so over the pink rn #I'm sick of looking at it #but I'm booked in to do some recording on Friday and I thought I'd have to cancel my hair appointment on Friday afternoon #which sucks because my hairdresser is always booked a month out #but I got talking to the videographer last Friday night and I was joking that the time he'd set for filming was so inconvenient #but he's fine with setting a time on Friday evening after my hair cut so I wouldn't have to reschedule my appointment #AND my hair would look nice for the video #I just thought it was really sweet #he calls me 'one take becca' because it takes him longer to set up than it takes me to get my pieces recorded #legend

“and then there was Charlie Hodge, of course. He was certainly one of the Memphis Mafia— the one man who was madly in love with Elvis and who also adored Elvis’s daughter, Lisa. Charlie was not gay but he breathed every breath for Elvis.”

same Charlie, same.

(excerpt from “Memphis Mafia Princess” by Shirley Dieu)

#I’m sorry but the need to say he wasn’t gay😭💀 #id be acting the same way dw charlie #thank you for giving e so many laughs over the years #and for always being ready with the scarves and water #who could know Elvis and not love him?? #elvis presley #elvisaaronpresley #elvis #charlie hodge #I love them #70s #also big daddy elvis is looking mighty fine here whew🥵 #elvis book excerpts

Assuming lestat is actually six feet (seems like a lie but whatever), how big were his parents that after years of abuse and childhood malnutrition from poverty, that mf is still 6 feet tall?

#i personally dont think lestat is lying about his height cus hes described as being big height wise in other books but #but i digress #childhood malnutrition really stunts your growth so for him to get up to 6 feet is a biological marvel #how big were them parents? how tall is gabrielle? how tall is the marquis??? #6 foot and thin god i know he gotta tape that thang to his leg to walk around sorry the spirit of ldpdl came over me there #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire lestat #imagine how big lestat woulda been without the routine starving like oh my god #like lestat has always been described as well built and muscular in contrast to louis who is waifish so it woulda been crazy #like seeing a pitbull with a whippet

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

i love the thought of Steve being so surprised by his feelings for Eddie that he can't stop himself from rambling as soon as the penny drops. he's sitting in Robin's bed, waiting for her to finish getting ready and she asks him something innocuous and Steve's just like

"im in love with Eddie. i am head over heels in love with Eddie Munson. holy shit. and i cant believe i hadn't figured it out, we have so much fun together! and he's so nice to me, ALL the time, sometimes i feel likes he's the only one that gets me, no offense. he's so pretty. and he's so funny! and weird. and so cool! ohmygod how did i not see this? of course! i want to be around him all the- sorry, what was the question?"

and Robin's like "... have you seen my keys?"

#steddie #steddie headcanon #steveddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #i also love the idea of Robin being SO tired of them from the get go #just like in the big boy scene she's like EW #really tho i feel both robin and eddie would get steve in different ways at different times but they would both always be there for him <3 #stranger things #i will be thinking of many variations of this all day #like him ordering a burger and the server's like ''do you want fries with that?'' and Steve's like ''i am in love with my best friend'' #checking out a book the librarians like ''oh this one's good have you read this author before?'' ''im in love with Eddie!'' #''do you want a bag for your purchase?'' ''i love Eddie!'' #. #-
