“don’t judge a book by its cover” Wrong. Absolutely judge a book by its cover art.
Tumblr media
Take a look at this cover of a repress of “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell. A decent cover, yes? You’d see this on the shelf, think it looks okay, and then never think about it again.
Now look at THIS.
Tumblr media
The first pressing cover of the novel from 1948 by illustrator Hannes Bok. Look at how fucking hard it goes. Look how it combines surrealist, almost gothic imagery with the main themes of the novel (humanity, paranoia, etc.). Look at the fucking FACE. Instantly more memorable and will definitely leave an impact on whichever library-goer sees it first.
To some, first impressions are extremely important when it comes to a piece of text or media. If you can judge an album or a game by its art, then surely you can judge a book by one.

The Great Gatsby, with its amazing first press cover, painted by Francis Cugat

A Clockwork Orange has many great ones, but the one copy I have has a boring Penguin template one

I need to rant about Nina and Aziraphale for sec…Does anything else think that there is something that is really confusing about Nina’s relationship with Lindsay? Majorly, the fact that they broke up. Maybe, I’m wrong, but the fact that they were extremely controlling and that it seems that they always were that way, and she messes up this time and that’s it? No, trying to use all of that against them in the relationship? Yeah, they tried once or twice, but Lindsay just gave up? Maybe, they felt like their control was slipping.. but… it just seems abrupt. It almost seems like the fact that their relationship ended so abruptly was because an angel just happened to want her to be single. He didn’t happen to know that he was saving her from a toxic relationship, but it worked out that way. I’m not saying there was a deliberate miracle, but Aziraphale has a way of making things happen just because he believes them to be so. Maybe, there’s a parallel here on how Aziraphale is trying to break off a relationship with Heaven. Her relationship ended similarly to how his did at the end of the first season..

I see a lot of fics and thoughts about Toji where there is an age gap and I get it, I really do, but I kinda like to think that he would actually love women of his own age or maybe even a few years older.
Women that aren’t going to simply look at him with wide doe eyes filled with adoration. Women who tell him in no uncertain terms to sort out his shit if he wants to take things further. It’s a chase of a different kind but it’s just as thrilling.

Ok,so I saw someone talk about this on Twitter a while back and it had me thinking…what if Love Live did a boy group spin-off? So I decided to ask y’all what you would think :0c
For me it would really depend on the execution,because usually I don’t care for male idol series :/ idk what it is and why,they’ve just never been my thing for some reason BUT if Love Live ever did this and the songs were good,the characters were charming and the story was interesting enough I might just change my mind ‘,:|c but what do y’all think?? Would you want this? How would you feel if it did happen? Lmk ^^
(Also,I forgot to say this because I didn’t know how but in my head it would be similar to series like Argonavis,Enstars,Side M,etc. where it’s fairly separate from the mainline series and has it’s own game,but it still would have the Love Live name + whatnot kind of like Hasunosora in a way)

I sincerely hope they don’t think this is enough because this still barely scratches the surface

One thing I keep forgetting is how ! Work
I’m pretty y’all have been thinking that I’m shouting all the time bc I always put tons of ! At the end of sentences but I’m not- I’m just trying to put emphasis on them and make what I’m typing seem like I’m happy and excited to talk about it😭😭
So yeah,, I’m sorry if any of y’all thought I’ve been shouting at y’all lol

No hate to the people who like any of the saw ships but like I feel like all of them are problematic like Hoffman literally tried to kill then killed Strahm, and Amanda shot and killed Lynn?? Like I just feel like there are better ships then the weird problematic ones. Like image a fanfic where like Lindsey is investigating the case and runs into Amanda not realizing that she’s an apprentice then they fall in love, but like then angst when Lindsey finds out she’s an apprentice. Idk that might be stupid I just think Lynn x Amanda is really weird.
