#I WAS BORN FOR THIS

[kindaorangey]

i'm pretty altruistic, y'know, i just think the world needs more men in minidresses

what people think alice oseman books are like: blushing awkward first meetings, little chaste first kisses, giggling teenage boys holding hands what alice oseman books are actually like: hey what if your entire personality is actually a carefully constructed facade to make other people like you and to disguise the fact that you don't actually know who you are. if you stripped away all the walls, all the artificial things that you think make you up, what would be left? what would happen if you stopped living for other people and started living for yourself? is there even a person in there or just a gaping void with nothing left in it? wouldn't that be fucked up? do you even know yourself? do you even have a real personality anymore?

I read this book in like, one day. I fell so much in love with the story and the characters. Jimmy is now one of my biggest comfort characters. 🫶🫶🫶

OSEMANVERSE PRIDE EVENT

hi everyone! as you all probably know, it's almost pride month. of course, we'll be celebrating that!

every week, we'll highlight a different group of queer osemanverse characters. you can find the schedule on the calendar above.

all kinds of original creations - art, fics, edits, webweaves, headcanons, you name it! - are welcome, there are no limitations. your submissions can be based on any characters from the osemanverse universe. while we don't forbid headcanons, we'd really like you to focus on characters whose sexualities are confirmed or semi-confirmed (e.g. aled being non-binary), even if they might be a little less popular. they deserve the spotlight!

the tag for the event is #osemanversepride2025 (NO spaces), but you can also submit your entry to us directly.

SCHEDULE: week 1 (june 1 - june 7): gay & lesbian characters week 2 (june 8 - june 14): bi & pan characters week 3 (june 15 - june 21): aspec characters week 4 (june 22 - june 28): genderqueer characters (during the last two days you can post general osemanverse lgbtqia+ themed entried, and we'll reblog them too, as long as they're tagged)

please note, that this event isn’t meant to represent every sexuality or identity. we know that some are missing, but that’s simply because there are no confirmed characters in the osemanverse who fit that label. the flags on the calendar are just examples and aren’t meant to represent everything that fits under the label.

read the rules in our pinned post, as we won't share any submissions that break our regulations, but also note a couple other things: 1. we’d love to see the pride theme expressed, but that's not mandatory 2. other characters can be present, even if their sexuality/identity doesn't match the theme of the week, but it should be centred around a character who does match.

if you have any questions, shoot us an ask!

Couldnt have said it better myself

and some bicci for good measure

[pixelxheartx]

the amount of ‘I Was Born For This’ references in ‘Radio Silence’ are actually driving me insane

[all-too-unwell-13]

imagine reading a book and not making it your entire personality for at least 5 months

HAPPY PRIDE!!!

[wishiwasfixtional]

can we just talk about how all of Alice Oseman’s books are all like somehow connected?

the Oseman universe is ever so slightly intertwined in the best ways. reading Frances say “I was born for this” in Radio Silence made me put down my book and write this post. (literally on page 9)

Alice Oseman the genius you are!
