@projectliterature event 01 : 2020 releases   —  beach read, emily henry

people were complicated. they weren’t math problems; they were collections of feelings and decisions and dumb luck. the world was complicated too, not a beautiful hazy french film but a disastrous, horrible mess, speckled with brilliance and love and meaning

“I knew I did from the first moment we met. It was… not love at first sight exactly, but- familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you.”

— Mhairi McFarlane // You Had Me At Hello

“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”

— Melissa Cox

“I shall live on dreams because reality is too cruel to me. I think I shall be the kind of person nobody understands”

— Anaïs Nin, from ‘Linotte; The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin: 1914-1920′

“I’m not longer angry — just very sad at being misunderstood—”

— Anaïs Nin, Mirages: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin, 1939-1947

“She kept thinking that no one could understand all that she understood and all there was in her.”

— Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

— George Orwell, 1984

“Your heart understood mine. In the depth of the fragrant night, I listened with ravished soul to your beloved voice. Your heart understood mine.”

— Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

— Patrick O'brian, “Master and Commander”

“…Two people who alone understood each other among an uncomprehending crowd.”

― Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection

“There’s nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood. And understanding someone else.”

― Brad Meltzer, The Inner Circle

“You felt familiar the moment I met you. A lovely sort of déjà vu. When we spoke or laughed or danced I became overwhelmed by the powerful sensation that I had been here before. And when we kissed I felt the energies of a thousand lives on our lips, like our souls had known each other all along.”

— Beau Taplin

“I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was… Not love at first sight exactly, but - familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you.”

— Mhairi Mcrarlane

— S.E. Hall, Emerge

He could put ‘you’ at the end of that. ‘Yes, I know you.’ The idea that those two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. That they recognised each other from their future. 

— Joe Wright, director’s commentary (Pride and Prejudice 2005)

“Jo feels the intense pleasure and pain of being seen by someone, of knowing that they know you.”

— Little Women (2019) dir. Greta Gerwig

“I can’t come? Gansey asked. Yes, you can meet us there in a fancy plane, Henry said. Don’t be fooled by his nice hair, Blue interjected, Gansey would hike. And warmth filled the empty caverns in Gansey’s heart. He felt known.”

— Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

“To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“What’s love if not a waiting to be seen?”

— Camille Norton, “Night Swimming”

“What is more basic than the need to be known? It is the entirety of intimacy, the elixir of love, this knowing.”

— Audrey Niffenegger, from ‘Her Fearful Symmetry’

“Wooed,” he repeated, punctuating the word with a kiss on my other cheek. “Courted. Swept off your feet. Had someone show you how you make him feel.” “I . . . I can’t say that I have.” That was an understatement. “Then brace yourself.” He straightened up and backed away from me a step or two. “I’m going to woo your ass off.”    

― Jen DeLuca, Well Met

@storyseekers event 07 : seasonal surprise — for @miasthermopolis

— We already know each other’s worst. We’ve battled right through it and come out the other side unbreakable. There will inevitably be arguments, concessions, and peace treaties drawn up in spilled blood, sweat, and tears. We’re going to have to choose each other, over and over, and be each other’s champion, never letting ourselves forget the good whenever we’re stuck in a patch of bad. It’s going to be work. But let me tell you something about Nicholas Benjamin Rosefield: He’s worth it.

you deserve each other by sarah hogle

Lucien

FINISHED! I had such good intentions when I sketched his portrait… then I had a baby… and now it’s been over a YEAR since I did that sketch.

2018 was an extremely slow year for me art-wise, so I also wanted to thank all of my followers who have stuck around (or started following) in the past 12 months. I’ve recently finished up some commissions and I’m finally digging back into some personal art and fan art that have been on hold for MONTHS (in some cases over a year).

self help comic yes i cried when i thought of this and drew it immediately

[atmoonlightdawn]

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

Bryce and Hunt: [staring into each other's eyes]

Ruhn: [opens a soda can]

Bryce: We're having a moment.

Ruhn: And I am having a soda, your point?

being naked is not sexy. wearing a white 18th century shirt with poofy sleeves tucked into a pair of black high waisted trousers is sexy. there are no exceptions

I will never understand how someone can finish a book, like it and then just go on living. I have to go look for all of the fan art and fanfiction that has ever been published. Do deep character analysis, see what other people think of it, and basically just scroll down the book’s tumblr tag for HOURS looking at everything that’s already been discussed about it then imerse myself in the fandom so much it will consume my every thought for at least the coming week.

living in the big old house, settling costume parties, dancing to the sound of the piano, collecting works of art, having own gallery, drinking wine at midnight and talking to myself about books

im not being funny but artistry will save your life. music, painting, pottery, writing, carving, weaving, the act of creating will save you.

all I want is a cute apartment with big windows, sunshine streaming through, a full bookcase, the smell of coffee and to be content and at peace with life
