Absolutely in love with my Kindle case. What’s better than books and cats? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

Wonder if I should be claiming these as incidentals for being stuck in the airport for too long 😅... But it really brought me a lot of joy shopping books physically , I mostly order books online like most of us I guess .... there is something satisfying about going through physical books and buying them 🤗

'The Curse of Saints' is the one that I am most excited about

Reading Classics it's not easy.

I fell in love with Pride and Prejudice a couple of years ago. But it wasn't that easy. It took me years to finally understand everything.

First I have to admit that, the 2005 movie was the first thing that I saw. Although I did know who Jane Austen was before that I never read anything from her before the movie came out.

I read Pride and Prejudice in Spanish first. It was a great translation and it had a lot of notes but I was quite lazy and I skipped them all just reading the story without actually enjoying it or understanding what it was about. As a result, it looked like most books for me at that point and I was just glad I could checked it out of the list of classics.

The only reason Pride and Prejudice stayed with me all the time was because of the magnificent OST and terrific landscapes.

I eventually met Sense and sensibility, and then Emma but the two of them never caught my attention until a couple of years ago. Yeah, not even the films were able to drag me onto this.

Then it was Wuthering Heights. I hated it. but I read it in Spanish. And I didn't finish it. Although I almost managed to. The movies did it for me at least for a while. Then Persuasion with The Lake House movie because they did quoted Persuasion. But in such a bad way I don't think I ever wanted to read about it.

But with The Crown again, they quoted Persuasion again... and it made me fall in love.

Which brings me to this, finally. because it is true: it was the memes and the fandom enjoying the books that dragged me here and made me understand everything. It was you all the ones that made me buy the books and pursue this knowledge. And even when I don't understand, I know exactly where I should go to ask.

It was the videos on YT, the memes on pinterest, the threads on reddit, the random posts on tumblr.... and everywhere.

My point is:

We need you. We need your quirkiness and your obsession over these topics. Otherwise we'll forget what these books are about. So if you love something, share it. Find someone who shares the same interest. If you're alone, keep sharing it, because you love it. It'll eventually reach out to someone.

youtube

And it'll spread like a virus. That's why it's so important. Because sometimes, someone wants to be part of that thing, but they don't understand it. Either the language is a barrier. Or cultural differences are. Or maybe since some of us are not acquaintanced with historical facts, we feel intimidated. So, keep sharing your knowledge. Keep sharing your love. It pays off.

I've had a beast of a cold for the last few days, but I wanted to get this out before the new year! while I've sort of made my peace with my first take on Lilia's UM poster, I really wanted to do a version with the new context that chapter 6 gave us. because. c'mon.

(don't worry, Lilia can carry ALL HIS KIDS AT ONCE)

#art #twisted wonderland #unique magic posters #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 6 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 6 spoilers #the dragon cradle does make me laugh #no look i understand it's a ~visual metaphor~ for malleus' isolation #(and also lets lilia run up a bunch of steps all dramatically later)#but the image of this enormous ten-story cradle with the teeny tiny little egg in the middle of it is pretty hilarious #the draconias are SO extra about everything #now if you'll excuse me i have to go fall over for what remains of the year #happy 2024!#(i apologize to the poor person who asked a cute question about meleanor and got a giant cold medicine-induced essay in response :')#(i have been incapable of coherent thought for...a while now)

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

I can’t believe Gideon and Harrow had like 3 weeks of something approximating fun before experiencing 2 solid years of endless suffering 😭 lemme tell you, nothing could’ve prepared me for that or the realization that post book 1 these poor fuckers just never get to spend any time together, I miss the old days of One Flesh One End Bitch!!!!! We had it so good and we didn’t even know it
