Fitzgerald naming his novel Tender is the Night after a Keats poem gives me the same vibes as fanfictions with Hozier lyrics as a title

Adjusting Sanji's Tie
Tumblr media
♠: One character adjusting the other's jewelry/neck tie/ etc.
You had been through many adventures with Sanji, but none quite like this one. Sure, you had encountered many dangers, traveled to the wildest places in the world. You had tried the most exotic foods together and somehow avoided many perilous situations. But after all of this, it was time for Sanji to finally introduce you to his family: the cooks of the Baratie. And needless to say, you had rarely seen him so nervous.
Throughout your journey together, he had often told you about his life abroad that ship, before joining the Strawhats. One figure you particularly remembered because of how often Sanji mentioned the name was Zepp. You had been told many things about him: his bad character, his pride, but also his devotion and hidden softness perhaps. It was very clear to you that he was important to Sanji, hence why he was so eager yet so nervous to present you.
He knew you would do a good impression and he trusted the crew of the Baratie enough to show some decency. But he was terrified that the two most important people in his life would not get along.
"Y/N! Are you ready?" Sanji asked once again, peeping into your shared cabin.
With a chuckle you responded: "Yes, stop worrying!"
He left out a sigh and lit a cigarette. He had been burning through them at a particularly high speed the entire day.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure. We're getting close to the Baratie and I want us to make a good impression."
You noticed him gulp as he looked down to the floor. Walking over to him, you gently held his chin between your index and thumb, lifting his head back up.
"We got this," you affirmed comfortingly.
Nodding in silence, Sanji took a calming breath.
Intertwining your fingers, he led you to the deck of the ship. The Baratie was visible in the distance.
Looking at Sanji again, you noticed his tie had shifted and the knot was messy. Chuckling to yourself, you pulled on his hand so he would turn to face you. Without a word, you busied yourself with untying the fabric and tying it back elegantly.
Looking up at him you declared jokingly: "Gotta make a good impression, right?"
Smiling, he brought your hand to his lips in order to kiss it before turning his gaze back to the Baratie.
"I'm sure we will."

I started reading a fic the other day and I was like huh it's pretty long but it's completed and the premise seems good! I don't have a good idea of what word count represents so I go check out how much 172k+ words is.
It's about a 500-page novel.
It's about the length of the Fellowship of the Ring.
It's a bit more than Dracula or Little Women.
The devil works hard but fanfiction writers work harder.

the fun part about preparing for an intense exam that heavily relies on knowledge is that it gives me too much ammo to be annoying at family reunions. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? I'll be there like haha do not accept weird games from strangers on Christmas. Puritanism? I'll be the annoying one explaining all the details in a church.
it makes me too powerful.

I love my friendships (friend of mine was feeling very down from her grade so we had an impromptu girl dinner and the three of us talked for two hours about our feelings about the exam we're preparing for)

I was on the fence about watching the eras tour film (since I have tickets to the actual show) but I'm happy that I'll get to spend time with my new swiftie friends and share the joy of the eras tour even though we're not going the same days haha
Tumblr media
Also we'll have an extra Taylor day since we're going on the 27th!!

I made a little surprise worksheet for my (swiftie) friends for us to revise our phonology classes (they might hate me for ruining Taytay for them)
