The tenderness in the relationship between Saul and Rose is everything to me 🥺 I always love found family and deeply significant platonic friendships

I should have been stitching my wips but got inspired.

So i'm on chapter 5 of camp damascus now and holy shit i love it so much more than i expected i would (and i already had high expectations for it given it's written by chuck tingle)

Like I've never been particularly moved by creature horror, so i really like this focus on pachid and ramiel as objects of horror not just by virtue of what they are (demons) but as a representation of what has been done to rose by the people she loves and trusts most in the world, and which she is slowly starting to come to terms with

also, the scene with the other girl who she can't remember made me so so sad. I hope they make it out of this

why must you hatecrime me like this. My visa doesn't have tap or cashback like my amex does 😭

If I had a nickel every time this happened, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but is weird it happened twice, right?

i think the funniest content warning i've ever had to give my friends during the time we've been watching one piece together was for non-consensual hrt

[skygemspeaks]

to whom it may concern,

if you're someone who used to read a lot as a child and now you're an adult who hasn't read a book in five years and you miss that part of yourself, i'm here to reassure you that that part of yourself isn't gone for good. It's a habit you can nurture. All it needs is a little bit of practice, and a little bit of pushing through to the part where you start enjoying yourself again

Sincerely,

An adult who's learning to love reading again

Thinking about how Ysabo feeds the crows leftover scraps from the previous night's dinner every day

Thinking about how one night, Nemos Moore in his guise as Mr Pilchard, is feeding leftover scraps to the gulls

Thinking about how the crows are Queen Hydria's knights, transformed

Thinking about how one of Ysabo's earliest memories from childhood is how one day, while she was feeding the crows, a gull tried to swoop in and steal some of the scraps, and the crows chased it out to sea and tore it apart

Thinking about how the crows (knights of Queen Hydria) protected Ysabo from the gull (a stand-in for Nemos Moore) as a child and then, years later, those same crows saw her being followed by an invisible Ridley Dow. Ridley Dow who they recognized as a relative of Nemos Moore, several generations removed. And the crows drove him away to protect Ysabo.

The paper knights, the imposters installed by Nemos Moore, never truly saw Ysabo, never cared about her. But Queen Hydria's knights, even as crows, have been protecting her all her life 🥺
