For the reading ask game: 1, 5, and 20. Hope you’re well!

a book that is close to your heart Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan. I basically read it at the perfect time. I was just finishing up my Master's with absolutely no clue as to what I was going to do next, I had just lost my job bc of the rona, so I saw a LOT of myself in this book about a girl in her early twenties who didn't know what she wants/her place in the world, and it was v v comforting because me and this fictional character were in it together lmao

5. something in fiction that reads like poetry now I get to gush about one of my favourite quotes of all time, yay! This is from Eureka Street by Robert McLiam Wilson. I think it can be a hard book to get hold of at times but I can't recommend it enough so check it out! "The city rises and falls like music, like breathing...Belfast is Rome with more hills: It is Atlantis raised from the sea. And from anywhere you stand, from anywhere you look, the streets glitter like jewels, like small strings of stars...However many, whatever size, it is magical"

that book is full of banging quotes but that one takes my breath away every damn time

20. a book that got you out of a reading slump The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins). I wanted to read something fast paced and exciting to get me back in the mood, and I was also desperate to do a Hunger Games reread as well and it totally worked, so yay!

ps. I have seen all your the secret history posting and I am just letting u know that is one of my fave books of all time <3 lots of luv to you

Hey idk if you're still doing jojo stuff, would you mind talking about your fan stands? Like what they'd look like or what their abilities are? I saw a post you made about them and they sound really cool

ooohhh my god absolutely (also im always doing jojo stuff lmao) so here's some stand rambling under the cut!

Gallery Piece is the stand of Odette Collins-Hall, and she got her stand at a really young age, which caused a lot of fun situations for her parents. Gallery Piece lets her affect any art she touches with it, and it essentially entrances people, and makes them look at the art. The more complex the art is, the longer people stop and stare, and the longer you stay, more bad things start to happen to you while you're unaware, increasing in severity.

Honey I'm Home belongs to Sterling Anasui, and lets the young man literally contact the dead, becoming a vessel and speaker for whoever they contact. It helps if they're somewhere where the person occupied while they were alive. It can....look pretty painful, but Sterling always says it doesn't hurt.

Take a Slice belongs to Antonio Valentini, and it works on the principle of making deals with the devil, but after a certain amount of time, Antonio and his stand comes to collect. Antonio gets boons from the deals he makes, whether or not Antonio wants to go do it yet or not.

White Lies is the colony stand of Etsuko Fujimori, and appears as a set of makeup and little dolls. White Lies lets Etsuko change her appearance at will, yet her true looks can be seen in mirrors and other reflective surfaces. Each of the dolls of White Lies has different features that correspond to the different parts of the makeup set.

Sweat is the stand of Dandy Rose, also known as Naoise Collins, and is unique in the fact that Sweat can only hang out of her users mouth. Sweat can dehydrate organic material and beings through touch. Depending on how large the thing in question is, she can only dehydrate so much.

Touch-Tone Telephone is the stand of Bianca Rossi, and allows her to, essentially, create clones/copies of popular cryptids and mythological monsters, and entities that are popularly debated among conspiracy theorists. Have fun dealing with Nessie or Britan's black dogs, fucko.

I have way more (i have about 80+ jojo ocs, most who possess stands) but you're more than welcome to dm me if you want to learn more about them or my ocs :o) and this goes for anyone reading this tbh lol I love an excuse to talk

#ive never talked about touch tone telephone before actually #like at all. not even with the discord server i toss all my shit at.#a saints weeping smells strongly of flesh and rot #bianca rossi #sterling anasui #odette collins-hall #dandy rose/naoise collins #dandy rose #etsuko fujimori #(i also gave a last name to etsuko for this lol)#fan stand #oc shenanigans #jjba oc #jjba fankid #birds of paradise #guns n roses #formaillu #<- those three r ship tags lol

Days after a host of prominent literary names signed a letter defending JK Rowling “against hate”, more than 200 writers, publishers and journalists including Jeanette Winterson, Malorie Blackman and Joanne Harris have put their names to another stating their support for transgender and non-binary people.

The letter, which is described as “a message of love and solidarity for the trans and non-binary community”, was pulled together by acclaimed writers Kiran Millwood Hargrave and Daisy Johnson. With signatories also including Juno Dawson, Elizabeth Day, Max Porter, Nikesh Shukla, Sara Collins, Irenosen Okojie, Mary Jean Chan, Naoise Dolan, Olivia Sudjic, Sharlene Teo and Patrick Ness, it states that “non-binary lives are valid, trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights”.

“Culture is, and should always be, at the forefront of societal change, and as writers, editors, agents, journalists, and publishing professionals, we recognise the vital role our industry has in advancing and supporting the wellbeing and rights of trans and non-binary people,” the letter reads. While the new letter, published online on Wednesday, did not mention the Harry Potter author’s name, its signatories, who also include editors, agents, journalists and publishing professionals, said they recognised the importance of showing support for trans and non-binary people.“We stand with you, we hear you, we see you, we accept you, we love you. The world is better for having you in it,” they said.

[description: A young white masc person wearing hearing aids, a blue top, black trousers and grey socks sits in front of a roaring fire. He has a half-Northern Irish, half-Scottish accent.

He turns to the audience.

“Oh, good evening, boys, girls and variations there upon and welcome to another episode of ‘How to Pronounce My Fucking Name’.”

The yellow captions appear: How to Pronounce My F*cking Name.

“I appreciate it is difficult for non Gaeilge speakers among you so I have brought for you some visual aids.”

He holds up a piece of paper that says ‘Bodhrán’ as the captions appear above his head: please appreciate that I’ve written these backwards.

Background changes to beside the fire. They hold up the same piece of paper.

“But first a refresher for anyone who hasn’t seen previous episodes. This is my name. Would you like to try pronouncing it? No, it is not Bod-h-ran. It is in fact -“

He holds up another piece of paper with ‘Bow (as in take a) - rawn written on it.

“Bow as in take a rawn. Bow like what an actor does, rawn like the name. It’s my user name.”

The background changes again, further from the fire again.

“But it is my middle name you were asking about.”

They hold up piece of paper with Naoise written in it.

“I will give you a second to try pronouncing it. That is probably incorrect. It is not ‘Noice’.”

He puts down the paper and picks up another with ‘Nee-sha’ written on it.

“It is in fact pronounced Nee-sha. Like Misha Collins, but with an N. Naoise.”

The background changes to back in front of the fire. He holds up a folded piece of paper.

“And on this piece of paper is second middle name. Very, very difficult. Very American.”

They toss it into the fire and smirk at the camera.

“Good luck.”]
