#how hard could that be???

[piratekane]

ooh fun! how about 20, 17, 14, aaaaand 11 :)

Yay! Okay, so:

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations? I got wind of Dead Eleven by Jimmy Juliano from… my cousin, I’m pretty sure? And I’m not a big thriller guy but I *do* like supernatural vibes and this book just fucking hit. It was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me immediately. My cousin and a friend of mine wouldn’t shut up about it and I was reading that people loved it. It definitely lived up to my expectations.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were? She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick. I used to think myself too highbrow to read fun queer romances but this was fucking fun and fucking queer. Bonus points for it basically being Lippincott and Derrick’s meet cute. I had a blast reading it and blew through it so quickly.

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over? Hmm. Hmmmm. The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake; The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall; and Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune. (Though, with my life, I might manage just one of those.)

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read? Unfair question, I’m picking TWO books. The first is Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. This book came HIGHLY recommended (thank you tumblr user @fiddleabout) and by my right fucking hand it was INCREDIBLE. I laughed, I cried, I laughed and cried some more. I went to bed chewing over this book. But now I’m cheating again because I’m not picking a second book, I’m picking a duology: Rule of Wolves and King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. What. The. Fuck. Leigh. They were my first 5-star reads. I read voraciously. I think I finished them in three days. I am OBSESSED with Nina and Zoya and Nikolai. I would read about them forever if I could.

#this was fun but maybe i didn’t read enough books??? #maybe i need to read more #how hard could that be??? #me @ me all the time

i have neither a good imagination nor aphantasia, but a secret third thing

#adhd #doodles #show this to your therapist instead of failing to explain it like i did #me: its like i cant control my thoughts like i was trying to think of something earlier today but #all i could think of was this giraffe eating leaves and no matter how hard i tried to focus the thought would just. replay #my therapist: what happens if you try to let the thought just play out #me: ........ i dont know but i dont want it to be there at all when im trying to do simple addition in a maths exam #10k #100k

#*consume u* *consume u* *consume u* #i mean this is kinda hannibal vibe if you look hard #wait #you don't have to look hard actually #did i accidentally make hannigram fanart lmao #i mena you could also interpret it as a toxic relationship #where the other one is trying to like #force you to become the version of you they have in their head #interpret it how you like! #for me it's just wolf <3 hare #pimsriart #pimsriart2024 #comic #no word #no word comic #wolf #hare #rabbit #animal #animal art

something about "your anger isn't scary to me" is making me so emotional. something about as above so below, cassandra as a mirror of kristen. something about "I've been dropping the ball a lot lately" and kristen's struggles with adhd. something about teenage girls and rage and fury and justice. something about adaine's vision of ruining fallinel and the sylvaire looking for revenge. something about sadness and doubt and anger and love. something about "I choose to understand" being the absolute core theme of d20 in general. something something.

#something about kristen's adhd making her fuck things up and being mad at herself and that manifesting #as her deity being overcome with rage #something about fear and anger and shame and the inability to do better even when you're trying so hard #and something about people loving you anyway #something about 'your anger isnt scary to me' #as someone who had undiagnosed pcos in early high school and got so fucking MAD #something about adhd and how you're always failing and you have no one to blame but yourself #and how heart breaking it is to watch your life fall apart around you KNOWING you could do something #but being unable to do it right. always forgetting always slipping up #and how mad that makes you. at yourself. #this fight is so much #fhjy #d20 #dimension 20 #fantasy high

My toxic European trait is thinking I can understand writing in any language if I just focus hard enough

#this was inspired by a swedish meme #i could not understand it no matter how hard i tried

it's shadow's turn to be put in water | [Speedpaint here]

I thought I would be cool and added a bunch of rock under the water, but if you watch the speedpaint, it ended up making me frustrated instead lmao. anyways this one didn't end up being too clean because I wanted to do a low stress painting

an underrated glass onion detail is miles saying his mother took him to the louvre when he was six- a subtle implication about how like, he CLEARLY had money to start with. he didnt conveniently have all those connections that helped everyone early on, or that helped him start alpha with andi. 

like most rich people, he started with money and gained more and more.

#glass onion #knives out #miles bron #andi DID work hard and was rewarded but the moment he felt threatened he made it clear how precarious it all was for someone like her #who actually had to earn it #i bet that if the situation reversed he had some family connections that could have helped him actually fight a court case

#death note #happy Light died day #Matsuda #matsuda touta #I was laughing so hard drawing this #I’ve wanted to draw this me for a bit now but I never could think of a good idea #till now that is #oh also this is the idea no one told them the truth because I doubt anyone would #…or maybe this is how Matsuda breaks the news LOLL

i see your "if sanji had witnessed zoro eating rice balls off the ground for the sake of a little girl he would have fallen in love immediately" and i raise you "if zoro had witnessed sanji fighting with blades against the ramen guy on the train in water seven he would have proposed on the spot"

#sanji: oh yeah nbd every chef has to know how to handle knives #zoro‚ dick so hard it could cut diamonds: #zosan #one piece #im having a lot of fun with this manga reread and also sanji truly is the mvp of this arc. whos doing it like him

The main Justice League conference hall, but it's just Barry with his head in his hands, Batman (already pinching the bridge of his nose under the cowl), and a strained but hopeful Superman staring at a small car's worth of unfiled tax documents and receipts all across the table.

#aka #bruce and clark help barry with his taxes #that he maybe didn't file for like 5+ years #but he kept all the receipts! #how hard could it be! #clark bullies bruce into helping #clark fills out his own W2s so he thinks this will be easy #bruce has a small army of accountants at his beck and call and still can't parse some of these #late night thoughts #barry allen #the flash #batman #superman #clark kent #bruce wayne #justice league #jl
