I was rereading Skulduggery Pleasant and realised it was a goldmine for cute Alastor & Charlie moments.👌

I’m gonna project genuine friendship onto these fuckers and you can’t stop me!

#grey art #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel comic #charlie morningstar #alastor #skulduggery pleasant #for the dialog #guys go read those books they are like half my personality #even though Ive not been keeping up since Bedlam 😅 #DEREK KEEPS WRITING THEM I DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENING #anywho…. #Charlie and alastor being friends or something is something I’ll always devour

new game is to type one through ten in your tags and see what comes up. i think my favorite of mine is ‘my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once’ but ‘gideon the ninth motherfucker’ is a close second

#one is that bad laptops can still handle custom content #two stupid old men who i lovehate :( #goddamn it i wish the three funniest women alive would tell me what i just saw #the f in rpf stands for fourth wall #ten pounds of trauma in a five pound bag #me and alice will both read it and i think that brings you up to like six!!! #my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once #goal was one book per store and we ended up with six stores and eight books which actually i think is fine #gideon the ninth motherfucker #thinking about the ten inexplicable minutes where jay and i were very in on brandon saad/roberto luongo #*

We’ve all heard of mansplaining. Now get ready for: PJO book purist-splaining. It’s like mansplaining, but every time you even think about liking a change made in the show, they jump down your throat with “ACTUALLY in the books…” because the show is “doing it all wrong” and the change is “so out of character” and “doesn’t even make sense :/”

#I know I’m hitting a wasps nest like a piñata rn just let me go out with a bang #reason for this post: #I’m currently being jumped by the book purists in like half of my silly little headcanons #‘but in the books’ yeah i know i read them too #I’m convinced that if they don’t ‘correct’ you then they’ll spontaneously combust on the spot #blink twice if you need help #if you like the books so much then go read those instead of my blog thanks #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo spoilers #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson the lightning thief #pjo series

the realest Discworld reading order is simply 'whatever the hell the local library has available, in whatever order it becomes available'

#the way i absolutely rawdogged the reading order because i would just grab whatever was in the school library... effervescent #and imagine my suprise when i went to another library and there were OTHER DISCWORLD BOOKS #i think trying to work out who the hell everyone is and where in the timeline u are is half the fun sometimes #Discworld

"Oh dear," the unicorn thought. "I must've really mucked up the story beyond compare! The Red Bull Luo Binghe is protecting the last unicorn scum?! Unconscionable! He should have driven me off the cliff by now!!"

#dont ask why binghe gets to be a human but sqq has to be a unicorn #maybe hes prince lir in this au actually wait omg that would be good #half human half red bull sxy was freakay #the unicorn turning human to disguise herself is obviously sqqs plant body allegory #binghe sniffing around the castle: where is shizun i can still smell him? suspiciously sqq shaped human: gulp #binghe's tragic backstory in this au i guess is that he meets shen qingqiunicorn as a kid and sqq can sense that hes half fae and so #takes him semi under his wing but is like a prick about it until binghes seal breaks and they find out that hes a red bull fae #and shen jiu stabs him into the ocean something something abyss he comes back gets adopted by haggard kills every unicorn by throwing them #into the ocean as well before picking off shen jiunicorn last. and then sy fucks it all up #it's been like a decade since i read the book sorry #svsss #scumbag self saving system #scum villain's self saving system #bingqiu #shen qingqiu #sqq #lbh #luo binghe #my art #svsss last unicorn au

#honkai star rail #dan heng #march 7th #danmarch #fanart #hsr #what else do i tag. i have no idea #anyway. im breaking my VERY LONG oc art streak to post my one(1) contribution to star rail #i care them very much #ive been playing this game so religiously and they have not left my team #tragic past(emo) vs tragic past(girly pop) #theres NO WAY with marchs very teenage girl mind that she does not have a crush on the hot cool mysterious yet caring dragon guy #who stays in the room right next to her #and the fact that he teases her so much........ #the whole ass belabog quest he throws in little harmless march roasts every so often #he fucking CARE her #i bets shes like a filipino mom with that camera. every oppertunity (picture!!!!) #and dan heng gets dragged into it #he is honing his photography skills against his will #any nice place? shes like (lemme pose can you get a photo of me?) #dan heng just sighs #they bond over silently judging stelle rummaging through the garbage #cast each other that best friend glance as half her body is sticking out of a trash bin #i like to think you see them hanging out on the train together #with dan heng reading some obscure 8th century book on civilization pattern and development #and march is humming and putting stickers and aesthetic shit in her scrapbook #taping a piece of antimatter legion loot in the middle of a page #and with bubbly handwriting (we beat some bad guys today!!! <333 so fun!!)

My little sister reminds me of Charmy so much I decided to redraw a moment we had from this weekend as Espio and Charmy :')

#sth #team chaotix #espio the chameleon #charmy bee #mydoodles #she was watching tv while I was (trying) to read my book lol #the tv was very distracting okay FDHGF #but literally she was full of beans just all weekend and I've been exhausted for about a month and a half lmfao #so I couldn't really engage with her as much as I usually am able to #but we did draw a bit together and she did end up cuddling into me so I can be glad in the fact that she wasn't mad at me for #for being all boring the whole time lol

a few weeks ago my queen @sputnikan recommended me Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez saying “it reads like a star wars fanfic” and not only was she right but the book itself destroyed me into pieces and what a better way to get the brainrot out of me by drawing a bunch of scenes but with these space mfs. anyways if you enjoy paranormal shit, horror stuff and messed up father/son relationships please read that book

#obikin #anaobi #vaderwan #aniluke #is2g that book is a vaderwan obikin anidala and anisoka fever dream #im seriously a changed person after finishing it #not sara getting me to read argentinean authors by promising me vaderwan concepts on said book #also the fact that mariana enriquez literally headcanons ewan mcregor as stephen lives in my head rent free #ik she was headcanoning alexander skasgard for juan but in my heart it’s hayden… he is half swedish iirc

I’ve noticed that whenever I have to write anything, the amount of caffeine I drink pretty much doubles, so I think this spring semester is going to be the end of me actually (lots of writing)

#idk why but I need to be in some level of a hyper state to get even a half-reasonable paragraph out #like it’s 2pm and I’ve had 8dl of coffee and a monster energy drink? how?? #bookblr #studyblr #booklr #books #study #reading #read #book #aesthetic #studyspo #uni studyblr #january 2024 #2024

misty quigley // the haunting of hill house, shirley jackson

#+ the following scene ... that's It. eleanor imagining theo and luke talking about her and feeling deep happiness. #only to realize there is no one there. and they have left her in the woods. #misty quigley #yellowjackets #edit* #web weaving #i haveeee to re-read the haunting of hill house. #but it genuinely scares me too much it needs to be an 8:30am commute book #i was sooo obsessed w it in high school i think i carried around a copy for like half of tenth grade

[skipppppy]

I haven’t really been vocal about it on here but I cannot take this any longer. I need everyone on this site to read at least one Poirot novel so they can sympathise with what the fuck I’m going through here. I have been utterly enraptured by this little Belgian man. I need you all to understand that this guy is a fucking freak in a way that is like heroin to me. I cannot stop. Maybe my favourite autistic representation of all time. His transmasc swag broke the fucking charts. His sauce is out of this world. His smoke is tougher than diamonds. He is a hater. He throws vegetables at people. I need him carnally

#he is the direct inspiration for benoit blanc. if you enjoyed knives out you are sitting on a treasure trove of a man I PROMISE #i need to watch the david suchet show but i’ve only read like 2 and a half books so far

If ghosts have unfinished business then mine will be reading all the fics in my "marked for later" category on AO3

#half of them are cool fics I didn't have time/my brains permission to read and the other half are fics I stopped reading half way through #no clue why #I've done this all my life like most books I've read I've never finished I just loose interest I guess idk #fanfiction #ao3 #grass yells into the void #grass' big posts

My top 10 nonfiction reads of 2023 (the asterisked ones are in French with no translation as of yet) :

Belle Greene, Alexandra Lapierre

The Indomitable Marie-Antoinette, Simone Bertière

Reporter: A Memoir, Seymour Hersh

Red Carpet: Hollywood, China and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy, Erich Schwartzel

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, Patrick Keefe

Servir les riches, Alizée Delpierre*

La Comtesse Greffulhe : L’ombre des Guermantes, Laure Hillerin*

Le Courage de la nuance, Jean Birnbaum*

The Book Collectors of Daraya, Delphine Minoui

Flowers of Fire: The Inside Story of South Korea's Feminist Movement, Hawon Jung

#book recs #i haven't finished the last one yet but it's been good so far! i really admire these women's resilience and solidarity #some inspiring stories of political activism + insight into aspects of korean history i didn't know about #i wanted to do a half-fiction half-nonfiction list like last year but i've read mostly disappointing fiction this year :( #my favourites were probably kivirähk's the man who spoke snakish & catherynne valente's radiance; though it wasn't as good as orphan tales #i'm reading jacques abeille's les jardins statuaires right now and it's quite frustrating because on the one hand #it's well-written and interesting with original worldbuilding. on the other i'm 300 pages in and there have been #2 female characters. the purpose of both (so far) was to have sex with the male protagonist and only 1 has a name #which makes the read feel less original and more ''same old shit as far as i'm concerned''

Redraw of the cape post, because that entire concept deserved better than the illustration I gave it.

#just give 12 a cape it's all I ask #yes I was watching Musketeers again #doctor who fanart #twelfth doctor #clara oswald #whouffaldi #twelveclara #guess who watched Heaven Sent + Hellbent again #I only cried half a tear but I did get Really sweaty #which is an improvement from last time #it took me about 8 years to getting round to watching those 2 episodes because Face the Raven destroyed me so hard #I'm pretty sure I couldnt eat for a whole day after FtR aired #although at that point I had been steadily absorbing Clara's personality into my own for a few years #I don't have a personality I stole it from Clara Oswald #read all of the 12clara books. listened to the audiobooks. Running out of content at a concerning rate #had to buy another comic #one day I'll have consumed all 12+Clara content. Then I'll just have to take matters into my own hands (make it myself)
