the night circus is a fantastic book and i think has shot to the very tip top as my new favorite
what a beautiful and immersive bit of story telling
truly the best written thing i have ever read, and just the most wonderful story with the best pacing for the story within it and just fantastic characters
time to read the starless sea next, i know truly nothing about it besides it being a story about stories, and consider how great this story was?
erin morgenstern you are a fantastic author

I am a bit peeved at the incorrect idea going around that Frankenstein's monster was actually handsome (he wasn't, not by non-monsterfuckers human standard), but more than because it misses the point because –as an artist– Frankenstein's predicament is SO relatable:
you start obsessing on a passion project, you work on it day and night in a frenzy and fully believe you are making the most handome and beautiful thing, you are in the zone, you haven't got enough sleep in a while, but it will be so so good... but once you are finished and you see the finished product you realize it's not good, it's not handsome.
like when I don't flip the canvas, like when I work for hours too zoomed in, like when you draw the best eye ever but actually it's not fitting for the rest of the face... Frankenstein was fully convinced he was making a beautiful creature, but he was really much not.
That is such a cautionary tale for artists/creators.
So I guess, remember to take breaks? Maybe get a double check by others instead of holing up in your dorm thinking you are executing the best idea ever alone XD

If you have only watched the Ouran High School Host Club anime I really cannot recommend reading the manga enough. There is (at least) twice as much plot as the anime has and it delivers so much more character and relationship development for every club member. You deserve to see more of them!

Forever sad for the people in North America who didn't get the poetic titles for The Circle of Magic Quartet The Magic in the Weaving The Power in the Storm The Fire in the Forging The Healing in the Vine I remember moving to Canada, going to the library and shrieking internally when it was just "Sandry's Book" etc.

i think one bad thing about how much i am loving the night circus is i love it SO much only halfway in that its been taking me over a full year to finish it, i put it off because i was enjoying it so incredibly much and i want to finish it i also dont want to because i dont want it to end
and the thing is i dont even really care about the main characters or really many of the characters, i do find some of the side characters way more interesting but in truth my favorite thing about it is how good the writing is
the visuals and the storytelling? its phenomenal, ive never had a book make me feel like i was actually there and experiencing it because of how beautiful and perfect the descriptions were, and the fact that it shifts between scenes so much is perfect to hold my attention and the author keeps us in one chapter just the perfect amount
i love this book and im scared im going to finish it and not like it, and it makes me not want to finish it but its so good and i want to be able to say its my favorite book but im scared it wont be but i am loving it so much i want to read more
do you see the predicament im in

Hey there friends! This reading is meant to be shadow work. The demon represents your shadow self or the parts of you that are rejected by you or others. The angel represents your higher self and the advice they have to integrates that shadow more. Please take what resonates and leave all that doesn't behind. Please be open to new perspectives, especially for this reading. Thank you so much for filling my ask-box btw i will do my best to make sure everyone gets their questions answered.
PILE 1

Crystal: Obsidian Chunk
Astrology: Aries ♈️, Capricorn ♑️, Sagittarius ♐️, Cancer ♋️
😈Demon/Shadow-Self: Bael (Emperor)
The demon on your shoulder makes you extremely powerful and capable of controlling of both yourself and others. It also make you a very hard worker and talented at multitasking. Hard work is important sometimes but it seems you overwork yourself a lot. That usually ends in loneliness and resentment. Even though it makes you a very reliable person to be around I see people abuse your skill to work hard. In the past people have use it as a time to slack off. Which has caused your shadow self to build tall walls around you. That is a lonely experience, my friend. This shadow reminds me of Tiana from Princess and the Frog. She works so hard and has no play.
✍️You: Ace of Wands
Your demon and angel work very well together. Your shadow self might need some attention from you and some trust put into it. You shadow is very useful and powerful. I think you might belittle it’s feelings though. Remember you aren’t alone and making yourself alone isn’t going to feel good. You can rely on others. The people you can’t rely on do not deserve your power. You are bright as a sun and have the ability to conjure everything from nothing. That is truly special and needs to be respected.
😇Angel/Higher-Self: Nanael (10 of Wands)
Your angel sees your shadow very clearly and has just the remedy for it. Your higher self instructs you to become an instructor. Instead of using your extraordinary energy levels to do more work. Use it to teach others how to do what you do instead of doing it for them. If they are unwilling to learn then they are not worthy of your time or your extra energy. Use that extra power on what you want. Your desires are in your grasp. You just have to allow yourself to make time for yourself and let go of taking card of people who do not appreciate you.

Crystal: Moss Agate Tower
Astrology: Libra ♎️, Scorpio ♏️, Gemini ♊️, Aquarius ♒️
😈Demon/Shadow-Self: Beleth (Knight of Cups)
Your demon is such a seductive energy. I see you might be bisexual or pansexual. They have the capacity to be romantic but definitely know how to jump ship. Mayb at one point you were a hopeless romantic. Your shadow has learned well how to tell when not to put on your rose colored glasses. Unfortunately, your shadow is struggling with commitment because of this behavior. They are scared to let your heart be free to love. Free to be loved. Your demon makes you run at the sight of true endearments because in your previous experiences it wasn’t true endearment even when it looked like it. Don’t you see your demon mirrors those who hurt you! Being played doesn’t mean you should become a player.
🤲You: 8 of Swords
My dear friend, you are safe. You are safe to be loved. You are afraid but there is nothing to fear. You fear is based on the past but you live in the now. You have access to all the true love you could imagine! Please don’t run away from people who care about you. You deserve kindness. You deserve endearment. You deserve what you heart craves so badly! Please allow yourself to be vulnerable. It is safe.
😇Angel/Higher-Self: Umabel (Ace of Swords)
Your higher self advises you to start being vulnerable with your friends first. Test out the waters of vulnerability with those you trust but do not lend your body too. Don’t just tell them about your hurt, cry with them about it. Show emotions with your friends. You have so many people around you who adore you and want to help you. Allow them to be your shoulder to cry on.

PILE 3
Tumblr media
Crystal: Aura Howlite Tower
Astrology: Taurus ♉️, Leo ♌️, Virgo ♍️, Pisces ♓️
😈Demon/Shadow-Self: Gremory (Empress)
Your demon my friend is a femme-fatale through and through. Your shadow uses feminine charm to get everything it wants. I think your problem is actually deciding what it is you desire. Your demon has every capability to receive anything. You just don’t know what that is because ‘anything’ is a lot of options. So many options can be very overwhelming. There is so much to choose! It could all be yours.
👋You: Page of Wands
Your demon and angel makes you feel untouchable but kind of overwhelmed. Having so much power at your fingertips is intimidating to you. You might have a little bit of imposter syndrome and think you aren’t as capable as you truly are. I also see you might feel extremely complex because your feminine charm isn’t a huge part of who you truly are. I see you could be nonbinary. Remember your femininity is only a part of you and not the whole picture. You can be so much more than a pretty face with honey soaked words.
😇Angel/Higher-Self: Habuhiah (9 of Cups)
Your angel wants you to know you are doing so well. They tell me you have been criticized or harmed for literally only being exactly what you were asked to be. Your higher-self has no advice for you besides you are perfect as you are. All you need to do is keep being yourself. Keep existing authentically and don’t give too much to people who wish to harm you.

i hate how "neurodivergent" has just been watered down to mean "autistic or ADHD". because that's not what it means. saying "this makes sense if you are neurodivergent" to something that is very obviously related to ADHD isn't correct!!! Neurodivergent is also trauma disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, dissociative disorders, learning disabilities, and so many more. the 50 year old man with PTSD that you meet at the pub is neurodivergent. the addict you meet at food bank is nuerodivergent. the 30 year old person with downs syndrome who lives at home with their parents is neurodivergent. people that struggle with delusions or hallucinations are neurodivergent.
Neurodivergent literally just means "a brain that deviates from the norm", and nothing more than that. it is not any more specific. please stop treating it like it is some universal experience. the only "neurodivergent experience" is that we are alike in our differences.
"Neurodivergent" is not a monolith
