Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

This has been The Eyre Affair for me. It showed up on every list, had every reason to be something I would really enjoy… and I just…don’t.

I don’t know what it is, but getting through it has felt like a chore. I’m barely halfway through and at this point it’s getting between me and the stack of Star Trek novels I just picked up.

there's no greater betrayal than finally starting to read a book you've had sitting for months on your shelf or your desk or your nightstand and then finding out it's bad. like. i gave you a fucking home.

THIS GOES FOR YARN AS WELL ACRYLIC FEELS SO GROSS ON MY HANDS

What's up, I made a meme that I'm sure is extremely broad-audience and relatable

I have been rereading my Discworld books, and there's this visceral feeling I get when I look at the back of my older paperbacks to see a smiling face with bright eyes and a caption which reads, 'Terry Pratchett lives-...'

And there's this weight to the paper, and you feel it, and regardless of everything else, yes, there is a part of you that knows it to be true, one way or another.

Pratchett lives, just as the Turtle Moves.

No you don’t understand this EXACT THING is what made me FERAL over Maladict when I was younger (oh who am I kidding, still today). You get BOTH cool Suave Snarky Guy AND Neurotic Mess Trying Desperately to Hold Back their Dark Side in ONE character.

I wanted to BE this guy so bad. Which probably should have been a sign, honestly.

cannot get over this. maladict spends half the book being cool suave snarky guy (?) and then is Going Literally Insane Over Lack Of Coffee for the second half. doomed to revert to a state of animalistic hunger because his fucking. french press or whatever. was broken.

I am once again pondering the fact that Marty McFly is just such a fantastic character. Like, especially when you look at other male protagonists in the 80s, they all follow a similar trend. A lot are uber cool and suave, with the added side effect of also being a jerk. Many are popular jocks or whatever. Big flirts. Edgy and troubled or sleazy, etc.

And Marty is sort of in his own category entirely. He's cool, but he's not? He skateboards and kills it on guitar but has 2 whole friends--his girlfriend and a disgraced scientist--and crippling self-doubt and can't go a day without falling down or tripping over his own feet or nearly being killed by a car.

He's polite. He's respectful. Won't let anyone mess with the people he loves and doesn't let a moment pass by where he can thank somebody or apologize for a wrongdoing. (seriously, Marty has beautiful manners. Like, it is quite noticeable how often he says, "please," "thank you," "excuse me," or "sorry".)

His emotions are all SO BIG and he doesn't hold back on them. He gets all animated when he's excited and yells when he's scared and cries when he's sad and pulls his friend into big ol' hugs.

He literally never knows what is going on. Marty exists in the constant state of confusion. Between asking Doc to "wait a minute" every other sentence and his ever-changing, scattered thoughts, Marty is just out there trying to survive. Just slow it down, alright? He's a smart guy, but he's also got elevator music playing in his head. Really really fast elevator music.

Time means nothing to him. His watch is broken. He's racking up tardies like it's nobody's business. Stopping by the garage to look for Doc and play some guitar when he should be at school. He's got to get out of that stupid suit RIGHT THIS INSTANT even though he's got one shot at the lightning strike at the clock tower.

Marty just. Does things. There is zero impulse control. A synapse fires and Marty's brain goes "!!!" and that's that. Punch the bully who's twice your size, buy that sports almanac, just Walk Away while Doc is talking to you. Buy that sweet leather jacket. Ignore ALL instructions you're given! Marty, you need constant supervision and I love you for that.

He's just. Marty is the most character. Look at him.

They really knocked it out of the park with this guy.

Hey, so Temu is dumb cheap stuff from overseas probably, BUT I want to get some little prizes to use in my classroom and that stuff is going to be dumb cheap overseas crap no matter where I get it anyway,

and APPARENTLY Temu will give me some of it for free if I peddle their dumb app.

So if you were planning on checking it out ANYWAY, even if you’re not going to buy anything, would you mind terribly using this link so I can get some free doodads for my classroom?
