Presenting the best worst The Dark is Rising dust jacket I’ve ever seen. These books always have odd covers because the story is (awesomely) batshit, but this omnibus edition is a towering achievement in mid-nineties “No worries I skimmed it” cover illustration. Notes:

- Bran has albinism. There is no melanin in his body. Why is he so tan?! it is literally impossible

- In fact, why is everyone so tan? And ripped? British 11-year olds are different than JK Rowling led me to believe

- Will (the 😵 guy) was, as I recall it, basically a fucking elder god/wizard messiah? Anyway, here he is seen warding off vampires with a fidget spinner

- How is Bran casting a shadow onto those trees? Is it a Sears portrait studio backdrop? Why is the harp vomiting? Is that just how things are in Wales?

- Treasure map reading, step one: open your damn eyes

- I feel like random tropical house plants don’t grow on the beach in Cornwall

- Nice Tevas there, Barnabas

on the other hand there are some characters that i KNOW in my heart are not cis but heres the thing . THEY wouldn't know. they would have no idea. or they're not acknowledging it. i love trans headcanons as much as the next guy but angel devil from chainsaw man does not know that he's not cis because all angel devil is thinking about is that he's got a job to do and he'd rather not be doing it but ah well its that or being killed. oh well

theres also some characters that if you took them out for drinks for like 2 hours and talked to them they would realize very quickly they arent cis. but the resources simply dont exist in the situation they are in. do you understand my vision

I was typing an entire post about food issues and why I don't like wet food, until I remembered that unlike in Dutch, 'wet food' has a specific meaning in English. Just straight up deleted everything bc all I could see myself as was

care is deliberate and enduring

[Image ID: a series of six cartoon illustrations depicting how to hand wash a kufiya, titled “How to wash your kufiya & deliberate care for delicate things. Each step reads as follows: Add cold water and half a teaspoon of detergent to a large wash basin. Completely soak your kufiya for 10-20 minutes. Gently wring out the water without squeezing too hard. Lay your kufiya on a dry towel and roll it up, pressing gently. let it dry for 20-30 minutes. Unroll and air dry out of direct sun to maintain colour vibrancy. End ID]

The American Dream Mall is having a great deal of trouble paying back their debts. The equity partners will lose their money. If the situation continues to degrade, everyone else will likely get theirs back once the assets are stripped and auctioned off.

It’s massive. Entering it feels like driving into an airport except the airport has a water slide sticking out of its side and a Ferris wheel protruding from the roof. The vast majority of stores were closed. I visited with the business boyfriend and he exhibited increasing panic as we progressed through the mall. Why aren’t they open? This is peak shopping time. Look, no one is carrying bags. Very little of this is revenue generating. It’s a five billion dollar public park.

The sound of the American Dream Mall is a gaggle of children on a rotating coaster car screaming above your head while the sound system plays Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em. We had to repeatedly dodge people driving around on motorized pandas.

The thing I found interesting was the interior design. We both agreed it was fairly well done. Why is it so shroomy? I liked the mirrored bull and the haunting empty hall culminating in an Angry Bird elevated above the shoppers like a god. I saw the longest couch I’ve seen in my life which was cool.

I found it profoundly disorienting. I’d think it’s disorienting on purpose to make you shop except almost all the stores were closed. Why are they closed? The business boyfriend says it’ll be half dark within a year but I’ve learned never to trust any prediction a businessman makes with great confidence.
