Whilst listening to the Gideon audiobook for the thousandth time I realized the bit about Gideon drinking the hot tea during what is essentially a meeting:
“She choked discreetly.” The reverend daughter gave her a look that withered the bowels”.
Is quite similar to John eating peanuts in a meeting,
“I ate peanuts the once, discreetly”, which we know was met with Mercymorn subsequently desiring to bathe him in acid for 1000 years.
And I find this just very splendid, that is all.

"reina realized the sound in her head, the scream, was her own. Anger or anguish, misery or mourning, all of the above. She felt the softness of earth beneath her hands and realized she was kneeling prostrate, channeling her pain into the sympathy of sodden ground. She felt something lashing gently over her forearms, slithering out from her pals. Like vines; like threads of consequence." and/or "Yes, Callum thought, I understand it now, Tristan, the meaning of life, it all makes sense. We are given exactly as much time as we need to be a human as we are, and that's it. That's the entirety of the magic. We're not gods, or maybe you are, or Reina is, but I'm not a god, Tristan, I'm just very sad and stupid! I have been looking for inspiration and it turns out I'm not inspired, I'm lazy! I only want to hold your hand! I don't wan't to rule the world, I don't want to control it, I don't even want to influrence it. I want to sit beside you in a little garden, I want to put your needs before mine, I want to laugh at your jokes, even the bad ones, and bury my head in proverbial sands." and/or “This was it, the chronic condition—the only meaning Parisa had left in life. It wasn’t a secret society, it wasn’t an ancient library, it wasn’t an experiment that had taken two decades to design, it was waking up every fucking morning and deciding to keep going. The tiny, unceremonious, incomparable miracle of making it through another goddamn day. The knowledge that life was mean and it was exacting. It was cruel and it was cursed; it was recalcitrant and precious. It was always ending. But it did not have to be earned.”
second piece from my review of @olivieblake 's the atlas series. I love these characters so deeply, and these three in particular, in their twisted discoveries of their personnal philosophies, and what ever can let them survive, was inspiring to read, and meant a lot to me. all three piece's speedpaints are up on my youtube channel!:)

ooh, what's the snow-bound manor mystery book?
(in reference to this here post)
I picked up a copy of Leech by Hiron Ennes and it was so WEIRD and DISTURBING and UNFAIRLY WELL-WRITTEN; the primary conceit of the book is "medical gothic horror" (yep) but it's also a subtle reconception of a post-post-apocalyptic world.
wait, why am I trying to explain it when Hiron Ennes describes it beautifully in this interview:
I always have a hard time explaining Leech. I describe it as post-post-apocalyptic soft-sci-fi gothic body horror, and if you’re on board by the end of that, you’re on board. It opens in the frozen province of Verdira, ruled by a despotic baron whose personal physician has died under mysterious circumstances. We follow the doctor’s not-quite-human replacement, who must contend both with a spreading parasitic disease and the demands of the manor’s inhabitants: the baron, who is kept alive by a retinue of machines, his solicitous but overworked son, a daughter-in-law in a perpetual state of ill-fated pregnancy, two mischievous grandchildren, and a silent but hypercompetent houseboy. Leech has got all the good stuff. Autopsies. Parasites. Dogsledding. An isolated gothic manor with a bloodstained past. The technological and biological remnants of dead civilizations. You know, the usual.
anyway, I inhaled the book in like 36 hours flat because once I got halfway through I literally could not set it down — sat on a park bench slowly freezing as the sun set because I couldn't tear my eyes away from, well, the beautiful and desolate destruction that was the language, the narrative, the characters, the world
hey @torbooks back me up here, doesn't this book get its hooks into your brain and live there rent free, much like a certain [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]
