me looking at everyone hating on tsats like yikes

sorry you couldn't see that this book was literally about nico learning to accept that his trauma is part of him but doesn't control him and he can live alongside it without shoving it down or letting it take the lead

sorry you didn't realise that the underworld was literally killing will and just overall being a physical manifestation of everything he was taught to fear, hate, and fight against but he still managed to do a complete 180 and accept his own darkness as well as nico's because he wants to be better

sorry you didn't realise how the mere fact that this book, part of an extremely popular franchise read by children everywhere, will help literally thousands of kids accept themselves and their identity by constantly showing us non cishet people and couples and talking about the struggles of being queer but showing that it's very much possible to achieve happiness

sorry you can't see how amazing this book is

couldn't be me

People already talk about the benefits of the Libby app for free ebook reading (and audiobooks) through your local library but I gotta say, it has a lot of font and type space and size options. I've been reading with the open dyslexic font and wide line spacing and it works really well for me and makes reading soooo much easier than the default publisher styles. So if you've had problems reading ebooks before maybe try the accessibility settings out!

ATLAS PARADOX RAMBLING

dude this book. i need to talk. about it. im going insane.

everyone who hasn't read it, PLEASE DO!!! it's a dark academia book about a bunch of gay silly magic people that join a society and try to kill each other. there's time travel, a big ass polycule, aesthetic scenes, the prettiest writing style in the world, science, philosophy, and fucked family. (opposite of found family).

(extremely chaotic unorganized long rant below, with spoilers. click at your own risk)

FIRST OF ALL WHY WAS THIS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE?!!?!?

i had to power through the first one, it felt long, and unnecessary and like trekking through a JUNGLE with the thickest and most intricate ecosystem that i had to peel back and unravel for hours and hours. only to like move the plot by an inch.

BUT THIS. olivie blake found her footing because this was so good. i am aware the reviews hate on this book and some people don't like it, but personally i adore it and it's really well written.

CHARACTERS

bro they all had such wonderful voices, like they were distinct and unique from each other but not drastically, noticeably different I NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS. six of crows and the atlas six do multi povs so well <3 its like this book was made for me, each character was perfect and incredible and gay and silly and-

reina. love of my life. i look forward to all her povs because the plants are so silly and she's the best character. i said it. she's canon asexual now too YEES. i needed more of her because she was barely in the first one, and they DELIVERED. the juicy plot with her 'god complex' (ily callum) and her feelings getting hurt and learning she actually is lonely and wants friends? she's so wanda maximoff. next book better have her opening up and learning to love people or i riot (and also her killing people and being the badass she is)

parisa always my fave too, i do wish her character wasn't always talking about sex or romance, there were some great moments in this book where she showed off her telepathy powers (the prince in the tower!!) it was awesome. i'm glad they acknowledged that side of her with reina, (oh my god i ship them so much wait till i rant about them-) but dude i still HATE DALTON. SO MUCH. OH MY GOD. every time it's her pov i dread seeing dalton, i wish she could give that up. generic white men should die.

CALLUM. whatever turned him from complex, daunting, and a psychopath last book to janus from sanders sides this book- beautiful choice. he's literally the one sassy wine-sipping gay aunt that feels nothing and everything at once, also extremely mentally ill and depressed. he's SO FUNNY. his povs are fucking hilarious to read, and he quickly became one of my faves bc of how complex he is. i'm not smart enough to decipher and psychoanalyze him but god i LOVE CHARACTERS LIKE THIS.

i don't know what happened but nico is literally one of my faves now too, he's so silly and sweet and kind and i loved his relationships with everyone this book. like him trying to murder tristan in multiple different ways oml. he's my bbg. tristan was hit or miss for me, i did find him interesting but he's not my favourite. doesn't mean i hate him, he's so very british, i feel it radiating off the page. libby my queen my icon, her dream povs were so trippy i loved it- so so realistic to a real dream, that was the most surprising and unique part. also my bisexual queen seducing belen??

i did not like ezra and atlas was a little iffy here and there but tbh the cast was so well rounded and interesting and unique but paralleled each other so well?? THE RELATIONSHIPS. I DONT THINK ANY BOOK HAS THIS INTRICATE WEB-LIKE RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER. they're one big polycule.

RELATIONSHIPS

nico and libby <3 i love them so much as siblings/queerplatonic partners. i don't ship them romantically, because i LOVE how they subverted the eye-rolling predictable ' YA academic rivals enemies to lovers' trope. when i started TAS, i immediately thought they were gonna get together and assumed the worst. but no, they still had the banter and importance in their relationship but without the romance? instead both of them were gay af. it's beautiful. i love subverting tropes so much. they're each other's 'other half' and they're hilarious together.

NICO AND TRISTAN. they were such a highlight this book, it was unexpected but so funny. nico trying to murder tristan and their little talks because 'they're not friends...just coworkers' yeah right, the best friendships start with creatively murdering each other. tristan being droll and chill af, and then nico bouncing off the walls my adhd king.

reina and nico broke me?? like that one chapter where they sparred and caught up with each other and reina was guarding her hurt feelings. DUDE THAT KILLED ME. made me stare at the ceiling for a good minute. their friendship is everything to me, they contrast each other so well. she deserves to be treated better- when they had that projection chapter and she saw that nico downplayed her skills...like she was good, but not good enough for him to care about her. AGGHGH.

REINA AND PARISA. NOW THIS. THIS HOOKED ME INTO THE BOOK. i ship them so bad guys. they parallel each other and are both hot and enemies to lovers and wlw slow burn and- look. reina is asexual, therefore the only person to truly see and understand parisa for who she is, and not be influenced by her body. like that one projection. she can help parisa understand HERSELF and who she is past her sexual desirability. how to love someone again. romantically. then, on the flip side, parisa can help reina see and understand OTHERS. reina only sees people as one trait, cut and dry- without any of the complex feelings. parisa is a telepath, she knows how to read others. THEY CAN BOTH HELP EACH OTHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER IN WAYS THEY NEVER COULD HAVE OMFDADJFLSKJADFL- also reina pinned her against a wall and they want to kill each other and every time they interact i scream into my pillow-

-

'You can't love anyone right?"

"I've met very few people worth loving."

-

*throws myself off a building*

now we just gotta play the familiar game "IS IT DELUSION OR IS IT JUST SLOW BURN" and find out whether their insane chemistry pays off in book 3.

the nico parisa scene was actually sweet ngl, even though i don't ship them. the whole callum and tristan thing was so bitter exes situationship coded and i ate every second up. especially that last conversation. AND OFC. GIDEON AND NICO?!!! AAAAA THEY WERE SO CUTE THEY'RE ENDGAME I SCREAMED WHEN THEY KISSED DUDE THEYRE SO-

PLOT

now for the actual plot. this book has so many interesting subjects and philosophies and debates i'm not smart enough for this. but past all the aesthetic glamour, it's science, time travel, dreams, multiverses, fate, reality, and the complexities of the human mind. and my god it's fascinating as fuck.

do i have any idea what they do in this society?? NO. am i entertained? YES. especially that whole explosion paradox to bring libby back to the future. the whole powering the connections via aurora borealis? the whole debate about being gods? i love it. i love it.

alright im so sorry for that rant, i gotta go now but DUDE I LOVE THIS BOOK NO MATTER HOW WEIRD IT WAS

Why the fuck do I have to wait in a queue for a E-BOOK from a LIBRARY.

WTF

WHY

FOR WHAT POSSIBLE REASON

DOES MAKING CUSTOMERS WAIT ON FUCKING LIBBY DO ANYTHING.

#rant #libraries #libby #books #genuinely why though

[halflingkima]

is it just me. who is so angry when libraries have books in series but not the first one. like tbh i don't care if you've got the first one and not the rest, but you've got book two?? and not one?? you've got book 12?? but not one?????

i understand things happen to library books but i would THINK. that'd be an item of priority. to replace the first book in a series. if something were to happen.

#perhaps i'm angrier now bc i work in a library #but i get so angry seeing second books on libby like HELLO #but at least w that you can think maybe the first one is in a different format #but when you've got JUST second ones #like for our collection on the van - idk who tf ordered them #but they literally just chose all the new released that year and blew ALL THE BUDGET AT ONCE #my coworkers and i have. a Point Of Contention about this (like we all agree vs our Nebulous Boss) #we have so many Seconds in series #it makes me SO ANGRY #THIS IS MY PRE-RANT I CAN KEEP GOING but i won't bc no one cares #the rant is for my Nebulous Boss whenever The Powers decide who that is #librarycore #personal

SPOILERS FOR TGAMM Yes I know The ghost and Molly McGee isn’t the most popular out of the recent Disney shows (compared to toh, amp, svtfoe, or even gf) BUT I love talking about it.

When people talk about the character development most ppl talk about Scratch (yes I love his development and I cried over it) but I find Mollys development interesting as well. instead of getting better she just slowly lost her mind. Don’t know if it’s a bad thing I relate to her so much.

Like in Ready, Set, Snow! Is a key example most of the episode was her losing her mind. She literally made a snow therapist and then laughed in its face. It’s it’s her fault and her stubbornness. She’s even like that in First Day Frights for a little bit she was panicking about her first impression needing to be perfect. And in The Don’t-Gooder she’s so determined to be seen as the best ‘do-gooder’ she’ll go to any length just to prove Andrea doesn’t deserve a award. Even Scratch said she’s being crazy. She breaks into her garage and shows basically the whole town that she’s a fraud. Yes she fixes it in the end but still.

Molly is a very determined perfectionist. Staying up all night plotting things not even for herself. Like in All Night Plight she try’s to keep Scratch and Libby up all night to see a cosmic event and is very controlling about it determined to not let anything get in the way. She literally tries blowing away the clouds. Scratch asks her why she’s so obsessed with trying to see the comet. She breaks down and admits she wants one good memory the three of them can look back on. And in Out of house and home/Home is Where the Haunt is she ends up under a lot of stress with her dad with a broken and then losing her house. She ends up working so hard to make money and they end up being evicted and then she picks up a bunch of clubs and try’s to pretend everything is ‘totally normal’ (best displayed in the song for that episode) and Libby sees that something is clearly wrong with Molly. While Molly persists that she’s totally normal while actively breaking down and crying over a diorama. Libby finally try’s talking to her and Molly refuses to tell her. Andrea finds out they are living in the woods and helps them get there house back.

Im not going to try unpack the emotional roller coaster of the season finale. But I did add YouTube links (none of those are mine) to 2 songs from the show that show Molly losing her mind.

If you’ve never watched the show and are a fan of amp or svtfoe I highly recommend you checking it out, yes it’s more ‘childish’ and ‘Disney-est’ compared to toh or gf but it’s still really great. And hopefully it gets a season 2 (but Disney has a tread of killing off the best shows for ‘not fitting the Disney brand’) Thanks for reading my rant about a kids show :)

So this may be a little of a rant, but bear with me.

So it has to do with my local library (aka, a place I used to frequent often). This happened a little while ago but it still really bugs me.

So like a year ago my library implimented a fee you have to pay once a year to be able to check out books with your library card if ur not a city resident (which kinda sucks when you live like right outside the city limits) but that's understandable ig, no big deal.

But that's not the part that annoys me. The part that bugs me is this;

They get rid of books.

I went in a few months ago to check out a manga series I really enjoyed (its older, but I really enjoyed it, and wanted to re-read it). But it was gone. I knew I wasn't going crazy, I knew the exact location on the shelf it would be, and when it wasn't there, I checked the whole section. The I was like 'maybe its checked out' and looked on the Library's online catalog. No results.

No, no, this isn't right, I only read it a year or two ago. So I ask the front...they look it after I explain the situation and..... "Oh, they got rid of them then." So because not enough people checked them out, they chunked them out. So just like that, a hidden gem I found is gone.

Looking around again, I see more series I knew missing and wonder what else has disappeared. Turns out, they also have gotten rid of DONATED books.

Because after I found out a little while later my dad went to the library to find a car manual he'd donated there; one that was really detailed and would be able to help people out if they needed it. And it was gone.

So that's my rant of the night. And before you ask about the library's Libby? Don't, it's pretty bad, to be honest. Most of the books I want to read aren't even on the app (even if they own the book) and if there is, it's normally on "a couple months" hold.

So needless to say I've been reading the books I own, or borrowing my sister's books (or borrowing her card since shes in the city limits lol) or buying the books I want. (But that gets pricey and I had to ban myself because budget.)

#crow's ramblings #sorry its long rant about this #it just annoys me since I've like ALWAYS used the library #and i love to read #and it really feels like ive been shoved into a room and told i cant read any books unless I pay #and when i do they take it away and say sorry we don't carry those books anymore #but i have a lot of books to read anyways but it still bugs me that my library is getting rid of books #I'd say any tips? on what to do but its fine just annoying #books #book #library #library books #libby #local library #reading #sorry again for the random rant from a random tiny tumblr account lol

I wish with Libby I could keep all my notes & highlights like in the kindle bc Happy City has some very good points.

I might buy it actually, I think it's good enough to spend money on. I don't like buying new books unless I'm 100% sure I'll like them or they on sale for 1.99 on the Kindle store.

Why are adult non-fiction books soooo expensive? This feels like a personal attack. Just put them at 11.99 like all the other Kindle books and move on.

On a side note I really hate how books are priced differently based on who they're marketed for so like YA books that I love will be 24 for the hardback and then suddenly they get popular and the next three installments are these "collector" huge hardbacks at almost 40 that don't even fit in my messenger bag and I hate it.

Seriously though look at what books get published at tall hardbacks and regular sized hardbacks and tell me this isn't a thing. Then look at 9-12 v teen v general fiction prices. Where are my mass market paper back Leigh Bargugo books??? Nowhere bc we can sell the text for 40 instead of 10.

I don't want to pay extra for rhe book being 1 inch taller than the rest and harder to carry around.

#willow's tea #book buying #kildle #libby #happy city #rambling to myself #hardbacks #rant #i dont know if i articulated everything right but anyway i usually dont mind booktube but i blame them for this and hate it

[navramanan]

Browsing through the books at the library made me add three new books to my tbr list puhaha

#didnt bring any of them with me bc i'll be leaving again in 2 weeks & be gone for almost 3 #but when i'm back i'm inshallah visiting the library again 😍🥰 #idk very exciting and also finally i can use libby too #nesi rants

[fictionalsadist]

I'm really sad that Overdrive is switching to Libby. Overdrive was simple to figure out as a new user and just has a a really easy user interface.

Libby sucks and reminds me of amazon audible. I just find it confusing. And it uses WAY more background energy than Overdrive. Like what the hell are you doing back there? Especially when I've closed the program? What the hell?

But I'm not getting a choice in the matter cause they're gonna stop supporting Overdrive next year and I'm just very sad and frustrated over this.

Logically I know that I'll get the hang of Libby eventually but damn it Overdive was perfectly functional.

random jameson x avery headcanons

Avery teaches Jameson about skincare (bro used hand soap for cleanser)

Jameson never lets Avery drive. Not out of a toxic bf way, but in a “you’re my passenger princess” way (and I bet he does the arm behind the seat thing iykyk)

Jameson learned how to Avery’s hair, braids, ponytail, etc.

Avery’s love language is words of affirmation and Jameson’s is physical touch

Any time they show affection in front of the Hawthorne brothers, Nash says “when’s the wedding you two?”

Jameson does not hesitate to kick her butt at pillow fights

Jameson thinks it’s hilarious when Avery sings in the shower

The two of them have matching Halloween costumes every year and there’s a competition between them, Libby and Nash, and Xander and Max

Avery turned Jameson into a Swiftie

Jameson is a Slytherin and Avery is a Ravenclaw

They gossip together about school drama (Xander often eavesdrops and randomly comes in and joins them)

On full moons, they watch the stars together. Avery likes to rant about constellations, which she surprisingly knows a lot about.

byeeee!
